How to Play with Rell as Shen in LoL

The Shen Rell synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Rell, 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 very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Rell. His KDA went down from NaN to NaN. This fall shows that Rell helps Shen perform not as well in ranked LoL rounds. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.

When Shen is an ally to Rell, he sees a noticable increase in his full damage dealt. This difference could signal that Rell helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her participation also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played alongside Rell on the same side, 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 Rell.

Moreover, when Shen plays with Rell on the same team, he usually takes a little more damage than when he fights alone. Getting dealt more damage could mean that Rell does a poor job of covering Shen in team fights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Rell?

There is no one best synergy for Shen that will always be his #1 synergy. Yet, overall, Rell is a very typical ally for Shen. By locking into the same team as Shen, she decreases their win rate by -0.6% to 49.1%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Shen and Rell that results in them performing worse together than without each other.

Rell has a much lower diffuclty than Shen. That means Shen players don't need to be very careful when lining up Rell allies to fight alongside, as they will require a much lower level of skill to play well with you.

When playing alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to buff allies and debuff enemies. Together, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.

Although, by bringing Shen and Rell together, you will not be granting your other allies a lot of sustained damage output. Make sure to bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Rell ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and clearing objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
