Shen Ryze Synergy Stats
How to Play with Ryze as Shen in LoL
The Shen Ryze synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ryze, 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 Ryze. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Ryze helps Shen perform poorer in ranked League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Shen plays on the same team as Ryze, he gets a barely noticable drop in his complete damage dealt. This change may demonstrate that Ryze does not help protection for him to dish out more damage or that his allyship also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Ryze on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays without Ryze. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Ryze.
Moreover, when Shen plays with Ryze on the same side, he on average receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Ryze does a decent job of protecting Shen in teamfights.

Ryze has a greater difficulty than Shen. That means you need to be careful when lining up Ryze allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will need a greater level of skill to work well with you.
Fighting alongside, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s capability to to do a lot of AP damage. Combined, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
