Is Shen better when played alongside Zyra?

There is no universally accepted best companion for Shen that will no matter what be his ideal teammate. However, overall, Zyra is a good ally for Shen. By playing on the same team as Shen, she improves their win rate by 1.0% to 50.7%. This clearly indicates that there is pretty good bond between Shen and Zyra that results in them performing stronger together than without each other.

Zyra has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players need to be very careful when lining up Zyra comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing together, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to soak up damage. Combined, these two might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

Although, by bringing Shen and Zyra together, you may not be providing your other allies much attack damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Zyra ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
