How to Play with Senna as Shen in LoL

The Shen Senna synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Senna, 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 Senna. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Senna helps Shen perform not as well in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Shen tries to synergize with Senna, he gets a marginal improvement in his full damage dealt. This difference could indicate that Senna helps provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with Senna on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Senna. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Senna.

Moreover, when Shen plays with Senna on the same side, he typically takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage may mean that Senna does a poor job of protecting Shen in teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Senna?

There is no universally accepted best synergy for Shen that will 100% of the time be his #1 teammate. Yet, Senna is a pretty good ally for Shen. By playing on the same side as Shen, she improves their win rate by 2.1% to 51.8%. This clearly indicates that there is pretty good strategic relationship between Shen and Senna that results in them performing at the top of their game together than without each other.

Senna has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players must be careful when finding Senna comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.

Fighting together, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to provide a lot of utility for your team. Combined, these two will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Although, by pairing Shen and Senna together, you will not be giving your side a great deal of magic damage. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in this pairing's potential.

Regardless of the ability of your Senna ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
