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

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Shen.
Additionally, when Vayne plays with Shen on the same team, she usually takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Shen does a decent job of covering Vayne in teamfights.

Shen has a much lower diffuclty than Vayne. That means Vayne players don't need to be very careful when enlisting Shen comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much lower level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Playing cooperatively, Vayne players should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal physical damage. Combined, these champions can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Although, by grouping Vayne and Shen together, you probably will not be granting your other allies a lot of magic damage. We recommend you have other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of your Shen ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
