That places Shen among Vladimir’s toughest opponents right now — the win rate sits clearly below the break-even line, which is exactly why this matchup is flagged as a counter.
When reading this matchup, weigh the sample size as much as the percentage — bigger samples mean the number is less likely to swing with the next patch.
