This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Tryndamere.
Additionally, when Shen plays with Tryndamere on the same team, he usually takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Tryndamere does a decent job of protecting Shen during team fights.
