I'm noticing that myself. A lot of Shens I see compete lose. For the reasons I expected. They trade really poorly because Shen ISN'T a Melee Bruiser.

I'm perfectly aware of how often mages do occasionally show up on top lane. But if you are Shen and you are facing any of those mages you are not going to win because Shen doesn't have it in his kit to deal with someone who can stay in lane just as much as him and do more damage than him by having a more offensive kit. Magic Resistance won't help as much as choosing someone else in champion select. Almost anyone else.
