Tips for Playing as Jinx with Shen
Rockets aren't always the best choice! Jinx's minigun is incredibly powerful when fully ramped up. Switch to it whenever an enemy champion gets too close.
Jinx's rockets deal full damage to all enemies in the explosion. Use them on minions in lane to hit nearby enemy champions without drawing minion aggro.
When a fight starts try to stay on the edge of fray by poking with rockets and Zap!. Do not run in and unload with the minigun until you feel it is safe.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing synergisticly with Shen.
Moreover, when Jinx plays with Shen on the same side, she on average receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage may indicate that Shen does a decent job of covering Jinx in teamfights.
