Shen Elise Synergy Stats
How to Play with Elise as Shen in LoL
The Shen Elise synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Elise, 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 very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Elise. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Elise helps Shen perform worse in ranked LoL matches. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shen is an ally to Elise, he observes a barely noticable drop in his full damage output. This may signal that Elise does not provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with Elise on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Elise. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Elise.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Elise on the same team, he typically takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Elise does a poor job of covering Shen in teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Elise?
There is no perfect synergy for Shen that will no matter what be his best teammate. Yet, Elise is a terrible companion for Shen. By playing on the same side as Shen, she drops their win rate by -5.4% to 44.3%. This proves that there is a terrible synergy between Shen and Elise that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.
Elise has a much greater difficulty compared to Shen. That means you should be careful when arranging Elise comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a much higher level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Working cooperatively, Shen players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to soak up damage. When paired, these champions will be able to tank for the rest of their team.
In contrast, by bringing Shen and Elise together, you will not be giving your other allies much attack damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that fills this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Elise ally's ability, you need to focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well anyway.
