How to play it

✓

Mind his Q-bar

Only taunt in when his Q-bar isn't fully stacked: a full Transfusion heals and trades back far harder.

✓

Punish his pool CD

When he pools to escape your taunt, abuse the ~10s window where your E (18s) is back up but his pool (28s) isn't and taunt again.

✓

Cheese the bushes

Hunt him in the toplane bushes around 1:05–1:25, open E to chunk him, and keep E'ing on cooldown until he's forced to recall.

✕

Never taunt in while his Q-bar is fully stacked: wait for the window where it isn't.

Shen vs Vladimir in Top lane is a hard lane on patch 26.17. The one thing to respect: his fully-stacked Q, don't taunt in on a full Q-bar or his Transfusion heals through the trade and hits back.
