When Shaco is an ally to Katarina, he observes a little decrease in his complete damage dealt. This could signal that Katarina does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Shaco is played with Katarina on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays without Katarina. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Katarina.
Additionally, when Shaco plays with Katarina on the same team, he usually receives a little less damage than when he plays alone. Getting dealt not as much damage may mean that Katarina does a decent job of protecting Shaco in teamfights.

Katarina has a lower difficulty than Shaco. That means Shaco players don't need to be careful when enlisting Katarina allies to go into battle on the same side as, as they will require a lower level of skill to work well with you.
Playing on the same side, you will likely see an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magic damage. When paired, these champs can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
Conversely, by bringing Shaco and Katarina together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a lot of crowd control. We recommend you have other champs on your team that nullifies this gap in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Katarina ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well anyway.
