Overall, Shen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Pyke. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN.

This could signal that Pyke provides protection for him to dish out more damage or that his support also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Pyke on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Pyke.
Additionally, when Shen plays with Pyke on the same team, he on average receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage may indicate that Pyke does a poor job of covering Shen during team fights.

Working on the same side, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to support your allies. Combined, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
