Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Jax. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Jax helps Shen perform poorer in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is only marginal.
When Shen plays on the same team as Jax, he observes a little drop in his complete damage output. This change could indicate that Jax doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that his presence on the team also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Jax 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 alongside Jax.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Jax on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may indicate that Jax does a decent job of protecting Shen in team fights.

Jax has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means you must be very careful when arranging Jax comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to work well with you.
When playing cooperatively, Shen players should observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to soak up damage. Together, these champs will be a great protective duo.
Conversely, by pairing Shen and Jax together, you will not be providing your team very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this disparity in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of the ability of your Jax teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well anyway.
