Shen has a much lower diffuclty than Shaco. That means Shaco players don't need to be very careful when lining up Shen comrades to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to do well with you.

Playing cooperatively, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to soak up damage. When paired, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
