Overall, Taliyah sees a very large drop in her KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN.

This difference could demonstrate that Shen helps provide cover for her to dish out more damage or that his participation also helps increase the round's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Shen.
Moreover, when Taliyah plays with Shen on the same side, she typically takes a little less damage than when she fights alone. Receiving not as much damage could indicate that Shen does a decent job of protecting Taliyah during team fights.
