How to Play with Shen as Ivern in LoL

The Ivern 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, Ivern sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Shen helps Ivern perform poorer in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Ivern tries to synergize with Shen, he sees a barely noticable drop in his full damage dealt. This difference may signal that Shen does not help cover for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Ivern is played together with Shen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Shen.

Additionally, when Ivern plays with Shen on the same team, he often takes a little less damage than when he fights alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Shen does a decent job of protecting Ivern in team fights.

Is Ivern better when played alongside Shen?

There is no one best champion pairing for Ivern that will always be his #1 teammate. However, Shen is a very typical companion for Ivern. By being on the same side as Ivern, he lowers their win rate by -0.7% to 50.1%. This signals that there is a weak synergy between Ivern and Shen that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Shen has a much lower diffuclty than Ivern. That means Ivern players don't need to be careful when enlisting Shen teammates to play with, as they will have to have a much lower level of skill to fight well with you.

When playing together, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to tank a lot of damage. Together, these champs might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.

Although, by aligning Ivern and Shen together, you may not be providing your other allies enough anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you have other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in their potential.

Regardless of your Shen ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
