Vayne has a much greater difficulty compared to Shen. That means Shen players need to be careful when arranging Vayne comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a much higher level of skill to cooperate well with you.
When playing together, Shen players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by grouping Shen and Vayne together, you probably will not be giving your other allies a lot of AP. Make sure to have other champions on your team that offsets this relative hole in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of your Vayne ally's skill level, you need to focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
