Shen Jhin Synergy Stats
How to Play with Jhin as Shen in LoL
The Shen Jhin synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Jhin, 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 Jhin. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Jhin helps Shen perform worse in competitive League of Legends matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shen is paired with Jhin, he sees a marginal improvement in his full damage dealt. This change could indicate that Jhin supports by providing cover for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with Jhin on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Jhin.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Jhin on the same team, he typically receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Jhin does a poor job of covering Shen in teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Jhin?
There is no perfect ally for Shen that will always be his best teammate. Yet, overall, Jhin is a very typical teammate for Shen. By being on the same team as Shen, he raises their win rate by 0.3% to 50.0%. This proves that there is only a small bond between Shen and Jhin that results in them performing stronger together than alone.
Jhin has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means you must be cautious when arranging Jhin allies to play with, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to cooperate well with you.
When playing on the same side, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to destroy wih physical damage. When paired, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.
Although, by aligning Shen and Jhin together, you probably will not be providing your team very much AP. Plan to have other champs on your team that helps cover this disparity in their abilities.
Regardless of your Jhin ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well, regardless.
