Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Lux. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Lux helps Shen perform poorer in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Shen is paired with Lux, he observes a little increase in his full damage dealt. This change could indicate that Lux provides cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Lux 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 synergisticly with Lux.
Additionally, when Shen plays with Lux on the same side, he typically receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage may indicate that Lux does a poor job of covering Shen during teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Lux?
There is no one best champion pairing for Shen that will always be his top synergy. However, overall, Lux is a very typical companion for Shen. By being on the same side as Shen, she improves their win rate by 0.8% to 50.5%. This demonstrates that there is only a small synergy between Shen and Lux that allows them to perform better together than alone.
Lux has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means you need to be cautious when lining up Lux comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.
Working cooperatively, you will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these champions should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
Although, by aligning Shen and Lux together, you may not be giving your team very much AD. Make sure to have other champions on your team that offsets this relative gap in their kit.
Regardless of the skill of your Lux teammate, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
