Hi, it's me again. So first off, cancelling the channel of his ult does not cause the shield on the ally to be destroyed. And when playing Shen I mainly use my ult to save low health allies in certain death situations (saving an ally with 10 health while ignite ticks away is such a great feeling), and unless playing with friends using Skype, I rarely can coordinate proper ganks. If that is the case, do not waste flash on stopping it, because the outcome will likely be you not having flash, and the enemy escaping with the shield.

In the other direction, if Shen is using his ult offensively, to assist with a gank or a skirmish, stopping it might be worthwhile to save teammates. If Shen joining the fight will give the enemies a large advantage, stop him, because you can save your teammates and make the enemies miss out on gold. Now if Shen uses it to aid in a losing fight, I recommend not stopping him since I doubt he would be able to turn a losing fight around, as long as your team is not a bunch of bafoons, and it also gives you free time to farm/push the lane. Just try to be wary of the map because a good Shen ult can turn a game around.

To finish it, I will give an example of when a Shen ult should not be stopped. This actually happened less than 30 minutes ago in my game. Down at bot lane all four champions were at super low health and I ulted the friendly Vayne who would have died if I did not. They were able to clean up Caitlyn and Nami allowing her to get ahead and carry the game ultimately winning it for us. Now back to the ult...I was unable to assist in the fight itself because of the range they were fighting at, so I was of no use bot. While up top the double lane took down the turret making me lose the lane. If I were to have been stopped I could have defended the tower and saved Vayne. I hope this description was able to help familiarize yourself with at least one type of encounter.
