How to Play with Shen as Senna in LoL

The Senna 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, Senna sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Shen helps Senna perform not as well in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Senna is paired with Shen, she observes a noticable increase in her full damage output. This may signal that Shen helps provide protection for her to deal more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Senna is played together with Shen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays without Shen. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Shen.

Additionally, when Senna plays with Shen on the same side, she usually takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Shen does a decent job of protecting Senna in team fights.

Is Senna better when played alongside Shen?

There is no top champion pairing for Senna that will no matter what be her best teammate. However, overall, Shen is a decent companion for Senna. By playing on the same side as Senna, he raises their win rate by 1.0% to 51.8%. This demonstrates that there is pretty good bond between Senna and Shen that allows them to perform better together than alone.

Shen has a much lower diffuclty than Senna. That means you don't need to be cautious when arranging Shen comrades to play with, as they will need a much lower level of skill to fight well with you.

Playing on the same side, Senna players should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide a lot of utility for your team. When paired, these two should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.

Although, by aligning Senna and Shen together, you may not be granting your other allies a great deal of AP. Make sure to have other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of your Shen ally's skill level, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
