How to play it

Fear his Q
His Blinding Dart has a tiny cooldown: he can get two Q's in a single all-in, so don't taunt in expecting your autos to land.
Only taunt with an edge
Taunt in only when you're up a level, under tower, near bushes to kite into, getting a gank, or he's already chunked to ~60%: otherwise wait for ganks.
Hunt him level 1
Try to find him before minions (~1:05–1:20); if you do, start E and all-in, and if he's late to lane permahit minions to hit level 2 first.
Never taunt in on a whim: if you're not up a level, near tower or bushes, or he isn't already chunked, you lose the all-in even when the taunt lands.

Shen · Top · Patch 26.17 · Ranked Solo · Updated Sep 5, 2026

Shen vs Teemo in Top lane is a hard lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his low-CD Q can land twice in one all-in, the blind cancels your autos mid-taunt.
