This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Shyvana.

Is Rakan better when played alongside Shyvana?

There is no ideal synergy for Rakan that will always be his #1 teammate. However, overall, Shyvana is a relatively poor ally for Rakan. By locking into the same side as Rakan, she drops their win rate by -1.4% to 49.2%. This demonstrates that there is a bad synergy between Rakan and Shyvana that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Shyvana has a lower difficulty than Rakan. That means Rakan players don't need to be careful when enlisting Shyvana teammates to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magical damage. When paired, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

In contrast, by aligning Rakan and Shyvana together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Shyvana ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
