How to Play with Ziggs as Shen in LoL

The Shen Ziggs synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Ziggs, 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 Ziggs. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This negative change shows that Ziggs helps Shen perform poorer in competitive League rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.

When Shen tries to synergize with Ziggs, he sees a little drop in his full damage output. This change could signal that Ziggs does not help protection for him to deal more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played with Ziggs 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 Ziggs.

Moreover, when Shen plays with Ziggs on the same team, he typically receives a little more damage than when he fights alone. Taking more damage could indicate that Ziggs does a poor job of protecting Shen during teamfights.

Is Shen better when played alongside Ziggs?

There is no universally accepted best ally for Shen that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. Yet, overall, Ziggs is a relatively poor teammate for Shen. By being on the same side as Shen, he drops their win rate by -1.5% to 48.2%. This clearly indicates that there is a bad bond between Shen and Ziggs that results in them performing not as well together than alone.

Ziggs has a lower difficulty than Shen. That means Shen players don't need to be careful when finding Ziggs comrades to fight alongside, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.

Working cooperatively, Shen players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to tank a lot of damage. When paired, these champions will be a great protective duo.

In contrast, by bringing Shen and Ziggs together, you may not be granting your other teammates enough attack damage. Make sure to have other champions on your team that neutralizes this disparity in their capabilities.

Regardless of your Ziggs ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
