Playing alongside, Diana players will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to soak up damage. Combined, these champions will be a great protective duo.
Although, by bringing Diana and Shen together, you will not be giving your other allies enough sustained damage output. Plan to pick other champions on your team that helps cover this gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Shen ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
