Ahri Shen Synergy Stats
How to Play with Shen as Ahri in LoL
The Ahri Shen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Shen, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Ahri sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Shen helps Ahri perform not as well in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Ahri tries to synergize with Shen, she observes a little increase in her full damage output. This could signal that Shen provides cover for her to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Ahri is played alongside Shen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Shen.
Additionally, when Ahri plays with Shen on the same side, she on average receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Shen does a poor job of protecting Ahri in team fights.

Is Ahri better when played alongside Shen?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Ahri that will always be her #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Shen is a very typical teammate for Ahri. By playing on the same side as Ahri, he drops their win rate by -1.0% to 47.2%. This proves that there is not really a strong synergy between Ahri and Shen that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Shen has a lower difficulty than Ahri. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Shen teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Working alongside, Ahri players should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide a lot of utility for your team. When paired, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
In contrast, by aligning Ahri and Shen together, you will not be giving your side enough sustained damage output. Make sure to have other champions on your team that nullifies this relative hole in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of your Shen ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
