Is Shen better when played alongside Lee Sin?

There is no perfect champion pairing for Shen that will 100% of the time be his best ally. However, overall, Lee Sin is a terrible companion for Shen. By playing on the same side as Shen, he lowers their win rate by -4.0% to 45.7%. This shows that there is a terrible bond between Shen and Lee Sin that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Lee Sin has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means you need to be careful when finding Lee Sin allies to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.

Playing on the same side, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these champs will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

In contrast, by pairing Shen and Lee Sin together, you will not be granting your side much magical damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this relative gap in their playstyle.

Regardless of the skill of your Lee Sin teammate, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
