This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Jayce.

Jayce has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means you must be cautious when finding Jayce allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to do well with you.

Working on the same side, Shen players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to to cover for your other teammates. When paired, these champs will be a great protective duo.
