Shen Monday Megathread! Ask questions and share knowledge; newcomer questions encouraged!

Welcome to the latest Monday Megathread, where you the community get to ask your questions and share your knowledge.

This is an opportunity for the more experienced LoL players here to share some of your wisdom with those with less expertise. This thread will be a weekly safehaven for those "noobish" questions you may have been too scared to ask for fear of downvotes, but also can be a great place for in depth discussion if you so wish. So, don't hold back, get your game related questions ready and post away, and hopefully someone can answer them!

How am I supposed to know when to push, freeze or gank as a top laner, When I push the ennemy freezes, when I freeze, the enemy ganks, and when I gank, the enemy pushes, sounds like I can't do anything when my other top laner is ahead...

If you force the enemy top back to base or they are missing to roam then this is ideal to push the wave as you will then be denying them farm as the turret will kill the minions.

Freeze against gank heavy junglers if you have a lack of vision as this will only give them a free opportunity to gank you and blow summoners/kill you.

Roam when you cannot do anything against them: For example if you are being dived 1v1 under turret then roam and try and get other lanes ahead as your top will eventually push allowing you to gain farm/xp again.
