How to Play with Master Yi as Shen in LoL

The Shen Master Yi synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Master Yi, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Master Yi. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Master Yi helps Shen perform worse in competitive League of Legends rounds. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Shen is an ally to Master Yi, he observes a little drop in his total damage output. This could signal that Master Yi does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Master Yi on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Master Yi.

Additionally, when Shen plays with Master Yi on the same team, he typically receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Master Yi does a decent job of protecting Shen during teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Master Yi?

There is no one best companion for Shen that will no matter what be his #1 synergy. However, overall, Master Yi is a decent companion for Shen. By locking into the same team as Shen, he raises their win rate by 2.6% to 52.3%. This signals that there is pretty good synergy between Shen and Master Yi that allows them to perform better together than without each other.

Master Yi has a lower difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players don't need to be cautious when lining up Master Yi comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to do well with you.

Playing on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Conversely, by bringing Shen and Master Yi together, you will not be providing your other allies enough magic damage. Plan to include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in their kit.

Regardless of your Master Yi ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
