Try saving Spell Shield for enemy abilities that can disable you such as stuns and roots.

Ricochet resets Sivir's basic attack timer on activation, so activating this immediately after landing a normal basic attack will maximize damage output.

This difference may indicate that Shen helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Sivir is played alongside Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays without Shen. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Shen.

Moreover, when Sivir plays with Shen on the same side, she usually receives a little more damage than when she plays alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Shen does a poor job of covering Sivir in team fights.

Is Sivir better when played alongside Shen?

There is no ideal ally for Sivir that will no matter what be her ideal ally. However, Shen is a very bad teammate for Sivir. By locking into the same team as Sivir, he drops their win rate by -4.0% to 43.9%. This signals that there is an easy to overcome and exploit strategic relationship between Sivir and Shen that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Shen has a lower difficulty than Sivir. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Shen allies to fight alongside, as they will need a relatively low level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.

When playing on the same side, Sivir players should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. Combined, these champs can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by pairing Sivir and Shen together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of magic damage. We recommend you include other champions on your team that fills this relative hole in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Shen teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
