Overall, Shen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Taliyah. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN.

When Shen is paired with Taliyah, he gets a barely noticable drop in his full damage dealt. This could indicate that Taliyah does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Taliyah on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Taliyah.
Additionally, when Shen plays with Taliyah on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Taliyah does a decent job of protecting Shen during teamfights.

Playing on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
Although, by aligning Shen and Taliyah together, you will not be granting your other teammates very much attack damage. We recommend you include other champs on your team that fills this disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Taliyah teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
