Overall, Elise sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Shen.

Is Elise better when played alongside Shen?
There is no ideal companion for Elise that will 100% of the time be her #1 synergy. However, overall, Shen is a very bad ally for Elise. By locking into the same side as Elise, he lowers their win rate by -3.8% to 44.3%. This proves that there is a very bad bond between Elise and Shen that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Shen has a much lower diffuclty than Elise. That means Elise players don't need to be very careful when lining up Shen teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to do well with you.
Working on the same side, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these champions will be able to tank for the rest of their team.
Conversely, by grouping Elise and Shen together, you may not be providing your team enough sustained damage output. Plan to pick other champions on your team that helps cover this relative gap in their potential.
Regardless of your Shen ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
