Overall, Shen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nami. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Nami helps Shen perform not as well in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shen is paired with Nami, he gets a sizeable uptick in his total damage output. This change may signal that Nami helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that her presence also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Nami 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 with Nami.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Nami on the same team, he usually takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Nami does a poor job of covering Shen during team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Nami?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Shen that will no matter what be his ideal teammate. However, Nami is a not very good companion for Shen. By locking into the same side as Shen, she lowers their win rate by -1.4% to 48.3%. This demonstrates that there is a negative bond between Shen and Nami that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Nami has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players must be very careful when lining up Nami comrades to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.
When playing alongside, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide utility and CC for your side. Combined, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Conversely, by aligning Shen and Nami together, you probably will not be giving your side a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you have other champions on your team that nullifies this gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of your Nami ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
