How to Play with Shen as Lulu in LoL

The Lulu Shen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Shen, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.

Overall, Lulu sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Shen helps Lulu perform worse in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Lulu plays on the same team as Shen, she observes a marginal improvement in her total damage dealt. This difference could indicate that Shen provides protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Lulu is played alongside Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Shen.

Additionally, when Lulu plays with Shen on the same side, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Shen does a decent job of covering Lulu during teamfights.

Is Lulu better when played alongside Shen?

There is no one best companion for Lulu that will no matter what be her top synergy. However, Shen is a relatively poor companion for Lulu. By playing on the same side as Lulu, he decreases their win rate by -1.3% to 45.6%. This clearly indicates that there is a negative strategic relationship between Lulu and Shen that results in them performing worse together than alone.

Shen has a lower difficulty than Lulu. That means Lulu players don't need to be careful when finding Shen allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Playing together, Lulu players should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to soak up damage. Together, these champs will be able to tank for the rest of their team.

Conversely, by grouping Lulu and Shen together, you may not be giving your team much AD. We recommend you have other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their playstyle.

Regardless of the ability of your Shen ally, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
