How to Play with Shen as Soraka in LoL
The Soraka Shen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of her gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Shen, compared to her overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how her gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Soraka sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This drop shows that Shen helps Soraka perform not as well in competitive League of Legends games. Yet, the small difference shows that this performance change is only marginal.
When Soraka plays on the same team as Shen, she sees a little decrease in her total damage output. This could signal that Shen does not help protection for her to dish out more damage or that his presence also helps increase the round's duration. Similarly, when Soraka is played together with Shen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing with Shen.
Additionally, when Soraka plays with Shen on the same side, she often receives a little less damage than when she plays alone. Taking not as much damage may indicate that Shen does a decent job of protecting Soraka during team fights.

There is no one best synergy for Soraka that will 100% of the time be her top teammate. However, Shen is a very typical ally for Soraka. By playing on the same side as Soraka, he has no effect on their win rate by 0.0% to 49.4%. This proves that there is not really a strong synergy between Soraka and Shen that results in them performing at the same level together than without each other.
Shen has a greater difficulty than Soraka. That means you should be very careful when enlisting Shen allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a greater level of skill to fight well with you.
Playing on the same side, Soraka players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to buff allies and debuff enemies. When paired, these champs should be able to manipulate the pace of team fights.
Although, by bringing Soraka and Shen together, you will not be providing your team much attack damage. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that neutralizes this relative gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of the ability of your Shen teammate, you need to focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you should do well anyway.
