How to play it

Space his E & Q
Space properly to avoid his E and his Q damage: his dash is his only real trade tool, so don't hand him a free engage in lane.
Trade once you have items
Don't trade until you get your items: after that your extended Conqueror trades win and the lane is free.
Shove after his 6
Once he hits 6, shove every wave: pinning him in lane stops his global R from swinging other fights.
Never over-poke Shen under his tower or trade into him before your items: that's the only way to give up a free lane.
