Yorick Shen Synergy Stats
How to Play with Shen as Yorick in LoL
The Yorick Shen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Shen, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Yorick sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Shen helps Yorick perform worse in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Yorick plays on the same team as Shen, he observes a barely noticable drop in his total damage output. This change could demonstrate that Shen doesn't help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Yorick is played alongside Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Shen.
Moreover, when Yorick plays with Shen on the same side, he often takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could mean that Shen does a decent job of covering Yorick during team fights.
