Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Zac. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Zac helps Shen perform poorer in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Shen plays on the same team as Zac, he observes a marginal improvement in his total damage output. This change may demonstrate that Zac helps provide protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with Zac on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Zac.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Zac on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Zac does a poor job of covering Shen during teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Zac?
There is no one best ally for Shen that will no matter what be his best teammate. However, overall, Zac is a relatively poor companion for Shen. By being on the same team as Shen, he decreases their win rate by -1.6% to 48.1%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Shen and Zac that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Zac has a much greater difficulty compared to Shen. That means Shen players need to be very careful when lining up Zac comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a much greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Playing alongside, Shen players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to soak up damage. Combined, these champs will be able to tank for the rest of their team.
Conversely, by pairing Shen and Zac together, you will not be giving your other allies very much sustained damage output. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this disparity in their playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Zac ally, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
