Overall, Darius sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

This difference could demonstrate that Shen does not provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Darius is played alongside Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Shen.
Additionally, when Darius plays with Shen on the same team, he on average receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Shen does a poor job of covering Darius in teamfights.
