How to Play with Shen as Rell in LoL

The Rell 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, Rell 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 decrease shows that Shen helps Rell perform not as well in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Rell is paired with Shen, she observes a little increase in her total damage dealt. This could signal that Shen provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his allyship also helps increase the game's duration. Similarly, when Rell is played alongside Shen on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when she plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Shen.

Additionally, when Rell plays with Shen on the same team, she often receives a little less damage than when she fights alone. Taking not as much damage may mean that Shen does a decent job of covering Rell in teamfights.

Is Rell better when played alongside Shen?

There is no perfect companion for Rell that will no matter what be her top ally. However, overall, Shen is a very typical ally for Rell. By being on the same team as Rell, he decreases their win rate by -0.2% to 49.1%. This signals that there is only a small bond between Rell and Shen that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Shen has a much greater difficulty compared to Rell. That means you need to be cautious when arranging Shen teammates to play with, as they will have to have a much higher level of skill to be able to play well with you.

When playing cooperatively, you should see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to support your allies. Together, these champions will help their other teammates secure a victory.

In contrast, by grouping Rell and Shen together, you probably will not be granting your team much AD. Plan to include other champions on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's kit.

Regardless of the ability of your Shen teammate, you should focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
