Overall, Lux sees a large worsening in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Shen helps Lux perform worse in ranked League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Lux is paired with Shen, she sees a marginal improvement in her complete damage output. This difference may signal that Shen helps provide cover for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Lux is played with Shen on the same team, 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 alongside Shen.
Additionally, when Lux plays with Shen on the same side, she on average receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Shen does a decent job of protecting Lux during teamfights.

By playing on the same team as Lux, he improves their win rate by 0.7% to 50.5%. This proves that there is not really a strong strategic relationship between Lux and Shen that allows them to perform better together than alone.
Shen has a lower difficulty than Lux. That means Lux players don't need to be cautious when arranging Shen comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a lower level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Working cooperatively, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide a lot of utility for your team. When paired, these two will help their other teammates secure a victory.
Conversely, by grouping Lux and Shen together, you will not be providing your other teammates a great deal of attack damage. Make sure to include other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in their playstyle.
