Sett Shen Synergy Stats
How to Play with Shen as Sett in LoL
The Sett 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, Sett sees a very large drop in his 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 Sett perform not as well in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Sett is an ally to Shen, he observes a barely noticable drop in his full damage dealt. This change may signal that Shen does not provide protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Sett is played alongside Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Shen.
Moreover, when Sett plays with Shen on the same team, he often takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage could indicate that Shen does a decent job of protecting Sett in teamfights.

Is Sett better when played alongside Shen?
There is no top companion for Sett that will always be his ideal ally. Yet, overall, Shen is a below average ally for Sett. By locking into the same side as Sett, he drops their win rate by -2.7% to 47.8%. This shows that there is a bad strategic relationship between Sett and Shen that results in them performing worse together than alone.
Shen has a greater difficulty than Sett. That means Sett players must be careful when enlisting Shen teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Fighting alongside, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to tank a lot of damage. Combined, these champions might be able to provide enough cover for their team's carries.
Conversely, by pairing Sett and Shen together, you will not be granting your side enough magical damage output. Plan to include other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of your Shen ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
