Overall, Anivia 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 worsening shows that Shen helps Anivia perform poorer in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Anivia is an ally to Shen, she observes a small increase in her total damage output. This change could indicate that Shen helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Anivia is played together with Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Shen.
Moreover, when Anivia plays with Shen on the same team, she usually receives a little more damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Shen does a poor job of covering Anivia in team fights.
