Overall, Shen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shyvana. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Shyvana helps Shen perform not as well in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Shen plays on the same team as Shyvana, he gets a small decrease in his complete damage output. This change may signal that Shyvana does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps extend the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Shyvana on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Shyvana. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Shyvana.

Additionally, when Shen plays with Shyvana on the same side, he typically takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Shyvana does a decent job of covering Shen during teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Shyvana?

There is no one best synergy for Shen that will no matter what be his ideal synergy. Yet, Shyvana is a fantastic companion for Shen. By locking into the same side as Shen, she raises their win rate by 3.5% to 53.2%. This signals that there is an important bond between Shen and Shyvana that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than without each other.

Shyvana has a lower difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players don't need to be cautious when lining up Shyvana allies to play with, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to work well with you.

When playing cooperatively, Shen players should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to soak up damage. Together, these champions will be a great protective duo.

Although, by pairing Shen and Shyvana together, you probably will not be providing your other allies much magical damage output. We recommend you include other champs on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Shyvana ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
