Is Amumu better when played alongside Shen?
There is no one best companion for Amumu that will always be his ideal ally. However, overall, Shen is a relatively poor ally for Amumu.

Shen has a greater difficulty than Amumu. That means you should be careful when arranging Shen comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to fight well with you.
Playing on the same side, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Conversely, by pairing Amumu and Shen together, you probably will not be granting your side a lot of sustained damage output. We recommend you have other champs on your team that fills this relative disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of your Shen ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
