Zoe Shen Synergy Stats
How to Play with Shen as Zoe in LoL
The Zoe Shen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Shen, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Zoe sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Shen helps Zoe perform poorer in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Zoe is paired with Shen, she observes a marginal improvement in her full damage dealt. This change could indicate that Shen provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Zoe is played together with Shen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Shen.
Additionally, when Zoe plays with Shen on the same side, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Receiving not as much damage may mean that Shen does a decent job of protecting Zoe in teamfights.

Is Zoe better when played alongside Shen?
There is no perfect synergy for Zoe that will always be her ideal ally. However, Shen is a very typical ally for Zoe. By locking into the same side as Zoe, he drops their win rate by -0.1% to 46.9%. This shows that there is not really a strong bond between Zoe and Shen that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Shen has a lower difficulty than Zoe. That means you don't need to be very careful when enlisting Shen allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Fighting alongside, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to soak up damage. Together, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
Conversely, by aligning Zoe and Shen together, you may not be granting your side enough AD. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that offsets this gap in their abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Shen teammate, you need to focus on maximizing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
