Overall, Shen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Hwei. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This change could signal that Hwei supports by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that their participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Hwei on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Hwei. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Hwei.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Hwei on the same team, he usually takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may mean that Hwei does a poor job of covering Shen in teamfights.

Hwei has a much greater difficulty compared to Shen. That means you need to be very careful when lining up Hwei allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much higher level of skill to work well with you.
Playing together, Shen players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these two will help their other teammates secure a victory.
In contrast, by aligning Shen and Hwei together, you will not be granting your other teammates a lot of sustained damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that neutralizes this hole in this pairing's playstyle.
