Neeko Shen Synergy Stats
How to Play with Shen as Neeko in LoL
The Neeko 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, Neeko sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Shen helps Neeko perform not as well in ranked League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Neeko is paired with Shen, she observes a marginal improvement in her full damage output. This change may indicate that Shen provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Neeko is played with Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Shen.
Moreover, when Neeko plays with Shen on the same team, she usually takes a little less damage than when she plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Shen does a decent job of protecting Neeko during teamfights.

Is Neeko better when played alongside Shen?
There is no perfect synergy for Neeko that will 100% of the time be her best teammate. Yet, Shen is a not very good ally for Neeko. By being on the same side as Neeko, he decreases their win rate by -2.1% to 47.3%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative synergy between Neeko and Shen that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Shen has a lower difficulty than Neeko. That means you don't need to be cautious when enlisting Shen comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to play well with you.
Working together, Neeko players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champs will help their other teammates secure a victory.
Conversely, by grouping Neeko and Shen together, you may not be granting your team very much sustained damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's capabilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Shen teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
