Vex Shen Synergy Stats
How to Play with Shen as Vex in LoL
The Vex Shen synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of their gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Shen, compared to their overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how their gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Vex sees a large worsening in their KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Shen. His KDA fell from NaN to NaN. This worsening shows that Shen helps Vex perform not as well in ranked League rounds. Yet, the small difference proves that this performance change is not very impactful.
When Vex is an ally to Shen, they gets a marginal improvement in their full damage output. This could signal that Shen helps provide protection for them to dish out more damage or that his presence on the team also helps increase the match's duration. Similarly, when Vex is played alongside Shen on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when they plays without Shen. This is contrasting evidence that they is worse when playing alongside Shen.
Moreover, when Vex plays with Shen on the same side, they often receives a little less damage than when they fights alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Shen does a decent job of protecting Vex in team fights.

Is Vex better when played alongside Shen?
There is no universally accepted best ally for Vex that will always be their top synergy. However, overall, Shen is a very typical teammate for Vex. By playing on the same team as Vex, he improves their win rate by 0.3% to 49.1%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Vex and Shen that allows them to perform better together than without each other.
Shen has a much greater difficulty compared to Vex. That means Vex players must be cautious when lining up Shen comrades to fight alongside, as they will need a much higher level of skill to play well with you.
Fighting cooperatively, Vex players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide a lot of utility for your team. Together, these champions may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Conversely, by aligning Vex and Shen together, you may not be providing your other teammates a lot of sustained damage output. We recommend you pick other champions on your team that helps cover this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Shen ally, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
