Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Viktor. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference may signal that Viktor does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Viktor.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Viktor on the same side, he on average takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Viktor does a decent job of covering Shen during team fights.
