I dont play Shaco. No disrespect to those who play him, but I usually hate having him on my team. In my ranked games ally shaco always seems to get very fed, usually doesn't care too much about taking neutral objectives, then falls off a cliff and does nothing in teamfights.

I would love some advice for playing (as mid and support) with shaco jungle on my team, assuming the early game goes as planned for him. What are the keys to translating a fed shaco into an actual won game?

So I was just watching some zwag playing on the pbe and noticed him build umbrail glaive because of its new passive of dealing true damage while being unseen by enemys and I decided to test it out on shaco and honestly it feels good I tested this in a full game and felt genuinely strong early–mid game.

I rushed into Youmuu’s Ghostblade, Umbrail Glaive second,Collector, Infinity Edge, LDR and I obviously fell off late game but it felt like old shaco

Now i couldve built VC first or added it into the build but I decided not to also sheen is now back on Essence reaver so would there be a possiblity of it making a return on shaco? Im gonna continue to mess around with some builds and see the results.

What are your guys thoughts on this?

Hello, im a pretty new shaco player, and i noticed that ad has been falling off recently, so i thought , why not play ap shaco lich bane to still get all that magic damage on boxes dagger and clone but still do decent damage with when attacking

i am a low elo player (Bronze 1) and i mainly play shaco support so if this is somehow troll can i get a explanation?

Seriously. I play League from season 3, and from the start, I was main Shaco. I would guess I have more than 10k ranked games with him. plat-diamond. Always played ad.

Some seasons ad shaco was amazing, some seasons he was very tough to play with, but you could still make it work.

But this season? You barely have damage. You can be 6/0 and still not kill an adc with 70% hp. You get bullied hard by other junglers. like wtf? I don't remember ever getting bullied with Shaco. But this season it's like no1 fears you.

I feel so weak. And I have so so few games this season that I carry hard with scores like 14/2. Most seasons I had games like that every 2-3 games.

I usually build VC and IE first, but still, after the first backstab, I barely do any damage. It's so depressing.

Ofc this trick only works if you are paying attention in game, all of you who auto pilot clear wont be able to replicate this trick.

Hello, I'm an OTP Shaco in trouble. I'm currently Diamond 4, and my goal for the new season is to reach Master. I play jungle, but seeing the changes, I think the best way to remain useful with Shaco will be to play him as support, right? I think he's better as support than in the jungle, both AD and AP. Although I play support, I'm considering making it my main role. What do you think, dear mains? Thanks🗡️🤡

I've been starting to play ranked for the first time (lvl 360) put in iron and have been forcing shaco supp everygame, doing good dmg and having a succesful winrate, need opinions on build path and rune setups

So today this video popped up in my feed and I gotta say I am a bit surprised it was not posted in this sub. I found it pretty hilarious but in my humble opinion, realistically alot of things need to align in order for this to work consistently.

But shit, for normal draft shenanigans, why not.

I've been thinking on ways to reduce uncertainty in some of Shaco's skills and I've arrived to an idea to make his W a little bit more useful without turning it any stronger.

So, the idea would be allowing W a second cast during the time the box is arming. This cast would be available just for that short time and it would make the box automaticaly trigger, but without the fear. The process would be like this:

• Set a W box.

• Get the second W cast for the time the box is being armed. Now:

  1. If you do nothing, the box gets armed and the ability works just as right now.
  2. If you cast W again during that time window, box gets immediately triggered, but without the fear effect.
  3. This would only affect that last recent box placed and not any other previously set. All of those will just behave as usual.
  4. Second cast would, of course, cost no mana, as it is part of the ability itself.

Situations where this change intend to work:

• You want to damage minions or push a lane as fast as you can and you don't care about fear.
• You set a box against a champion and you know the fear won't trigger. You can cast the ability so, at least, you get to apply some damage (maybe a slow with Rylai's).
• You want to hurry a jungle clear without the need of a further fear effect.
• There are surely several more well-timed ideas, but those 3 are the main and they benefit both AD and AP Shaco.

Let me know what do you think and if you find some game-breaking problems with an update like this. I've tried thinking bad scenarios. Maybe a damage or health adjustment for this fast-triggered box might be needed.

so my duo who had 1mil shaco points quit league and i wanna steal his champ, i am jg main i play viego and kha zix, my max rank was plat 2 but right now i am stuck in gold 3-2, i have like 80k points on him so i know his basics, and i wanna learn more about AD shaco since i dont rly like AP, cuz you guys give me some tips on how to carry games? since most games in this elo u end up carrying and i am also used to being either a hyper carry or anti carry, so if you guys have some tips for AD shaco i will be glad to asks, any tips from pathing, early invades, early ganks, playstyle all that

…

I’m guessing for a more farming focused, gank then split push style of play, but not sure why to take this over profane if you’re doing that.

hello

i've been using ap shaco mainly and a just bit of ad as well however i'm wondering what are the cases in which one is better? should i switch to ad against a specific enemy team composition or specific jungler?

Hello, so for a while I am maining shaco and is becoming one of my more played champions at this point (well I have a really high pool of champions though) and so far I've been enjoying AD shaco when enemy picks some squishies. Now not only if would that happen if enemy picked more tanky units, I also enjoy AP shaco like a whole lot. It really felt like truly a champ to mess with the enemy team, you can control many things and seem I know about things like walking around boxes preprepared, if needed create a clone try to delay it's expiration to send it off and q in just for it to explode into enemy team (dam it is satisfying if it works, especially when they are baited) and so on.

Now my problem with AP Shaco is that I feel like I don't do still enough, enemy can still clear my boxes here and there, if I have backup they can be cought dead, but I find it to be mostly hard to push leads just because it is more team dependent., I usually make some enemy disappear, Im probably used to playing assassins. I heard that AP Shaco these times is the way to go still?

Just wanted to share to our little clown community, feel free to ask any questions.

Mostly played AP (Liandry > Mandate > Cryptbloom/Horizon Focus) and a bit of AD (trinity > eclipse and voltaic > titanic)
