How to Play with Twitch as Shen in LoL
The Shen Twitch synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Twitch, 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 Twitch. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Twitch helps Shen perform not as well in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Shen plays on the same team as Twitch, he sees a small increase in his total damage dealt. This change may signal that Twitch supports by providing protection for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with Twitch on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Twitch. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Twitch.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Twitch on the same team, he often receives a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Twitch does a decent job of covering Shen during teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Twitch?
There is no top companion for Shen that will always be his ideal teammate. Yet, Twitch is a good ally for Shen. By locking into the same team as Shen, he improves their win rate by 1.2% to 50.9%. This clearly indicates that there is pretty good bond between Shen and Twitch that allows them to perform better together than alone.
Twitch has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players must be very careful when enlisting Twitch comrades to play with, as they will require a greater level of skill to work well with you.
Working together, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to destroy wih physical damage. Together, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
In contrast, by grouping Shen and Twitch together, you probably will not be granting your other allies very much AP. Plan to include other champions on your team that offsets this relative disparity in their potential.
Regardless of your Twitch ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
