This proves that there is a very bad bond between Shen and Amumu that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

Working on the same side, Shen players will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to provide a lot of utility for your team. Combined, these champs may be able to carry with the power of their abilities.
Although, by aligning Shen and Amumu together, you will not be granting your other teammates very much AD. Plan to have other champions on your team that helps cover this hole in this pairing's potential.
