How to Play with Brand as Shen in LoL
The Shen Brand synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Brand, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Brand. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Brand helps Shen perform not as well in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shen tries to synergize with Brand, he observes a small increase in his complete damage output. This difference may demonstrate that Brand helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Brand on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Brand.
Additionally, when Shen plays with Brand on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Brand does a poor job of covering Shen in team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Brand?
There is no top companion for Shen that will no matter what be his top ally. Yet, Brand is a decent ally for Shen. By playing on the same side as Shen, he raises their win rate by 1.3% to 51.0%. This proves that there is a potentially meaningful bond between Shen and Brand that allows them to perform better together than alone.
Brand has a lower difficulty than Shen. That means you don't need to be careful when finding Brand comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a lower level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
Playing alongside, Shen players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to provide utility and CC for your side. When paired, these champs should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
Although, by pairing Shen and Brand together, you may not be giving your other teammates a lot of sustained damage output. We recommend you bring other champs on your team that fills this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Brand ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
