Playing cooperatively, Shen players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to soak up damage. When paired, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
Although, by pairing Shen and Aatrox together, you probably will not be granting your team a great deal of magic damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this relative hole in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Aatrox ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
