How to Play with Orianna as Shen in LoL
The Shen Orianna synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Orianna, 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 Orianna. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Orianna helps Shen perform not as well in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Shen is an ally to Orianna, he observes a little increase in his complete damage dealt. This could demonstrate that Orianna helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Orianna on the same team, 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 Orianna.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Orianna on the same team, he typically receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could indicate that Orianna does a poor job of covering Shen in team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Orianna?
There is no perfect champion pairing for Shen that will 100% of the time be his ideal teammate. However, Orianna is a very typical ally for Shen. By playing on the same side as Shen, she decreases their win rate by -0.1% to 49.6%. This clearly indicates that there is only a small bond between Shen and Orianna that allows them to perform worse together than without each other.
Orianna has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players must be careful when arranging Orianna comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to cooperate well with you.
Working cooperatively, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Combined, these champs will help their other teammates secure a victory.
In contrast, by aligning Shen and Orianna together, you will not be giving your team a lot of anti-tank damage dealing potential. Plan to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in this pairing's kit.
Regardless of your Orianna ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you should do well, regardless.
