No one says you absolutely must kill him during the laning phase. You can just sit back and farm, something most champions do far better than Shen and once he uses his ultimate and fucks off, you just do your job and destroy his tower.

In addition, few things are decided in the laning phase, it all comes down to mid-to-late game teamfights, in which, after using his glorious ultimate, he becomes little more than a walking pile of hp that  can only occasionally taunt people. I don't know about you, but I'd choose Malph/Amumu/Naut/Maokai over him at any time and in any situation, because these guys can at least offer constant utility and crowd control all throughout the teamfight.

Also, I like the champion (always did), but seeing him exalted like the big thing of League of Legends when he's just... decent just rubs me the wrong way.
