Overall, Shen sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Neeko. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Neeko helps Shen perform poorer in competitive LoL games. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shen is paired with Neeko, he gets a little increase in his full damage dealt. This change may signal that Neeko provides protection for him to deal more damage or that her support also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with Neeko on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Neeko. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Neeko.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Neeko on the same side, he on average takes a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage could indicate that Neeko does a poor job of covering Shen in team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Neeko?
There is no top champion pairing for Shen that will no matter what be his #1 synergy. However, Neeko is a not very good companion for Shen. By locking into the same side as Shen, she lowers their win rate by -2.4% to 47.3%. This signals that there is a harmful synergy between Shen and Neeko that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.
Neeko has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means you need to be careful when lining up Neeko allies to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Working together, Shen players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Together, these champs will help their other teammates secure a victory.
In contrast, by bringing Shen and Neeko together, you probably will not be granting your side very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. Make sure to pick other champs on your team that helps cover this gap in their kit.
Regardless of the skill of your Neeko ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you should do well, regardless.
