How to Play with LeBlanc as Shen in LoL

Overall, Shen sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with LeBlanc. His KDA worsened from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that LeBlanc helps Shen perform poorer in ranked League matches. Yet, the small difference demonstrates that this performance change is only marginal.

When Shen is an ally to LeBlanc, he observes a little increase in his full damage dealt. This difference may demonstrate that LeBlanc helps provide cover for him to dish out more damage or that her support also helps extend the game's duration. Similarly, when Shen is played together with LeBlanc on the same team, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays alone. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with LeBlanc.

Is Shen better when played alongside LeBlanc?

There is no one best synergy for Shen that will 100% of the time be his best teammate. However, LeBlanc is a terrible companion for Shen. By being on the same team as Shen, she drops their win rate by -4.1% to 45.6%. This clearly indicates that there is a very bad bond between Shen and LeBlanc that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

LeBlanc has a much greater difficulty compared to Shen. That means you should be cautious when lining up LeBlanc teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a much greater level of skill to be able to play well with you.

Working alongside, you should observe an overall large increase in your team’s ability to to do a lot of AP damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.

Conversely, by grouping Shen and LeBlanc together, you will not be giving your side enough sustained damage output. Plan to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative disparity in this pairing's abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your LeBlanc teammate, you should focus on increasing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
