Is Shen better when played alongside Veigar?

There is no ideal synergy for Shen that will always be his #1 ally. Yet, overall, Veigar is a not very good teammate for Shen. By playing on the same team as Shen, he drops their win rate by -2.4% to 47.3%. This proves that there is a harmful synergy between Shen and Veigar that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Veigar has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players should be very careful when enlisting Veigar allies to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to work well with you.

Fighting together, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.

Conversely, by grouping Shen and Veigar together, you probably will not be providing your team a great deal of sustained damage output. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that neutralizes this gap in this pairing's abilities.
