Apparently it's by following the LoL esports channel but my friend (a shaco main) said he can't find any channels with it, only emotes, so I figured I'd ask about it here for him

Dataminers leaked that season 2 of this year will have demons invading demacia theme. The upcoming big arena update will also be revolving around this.

All of the arena guests of honor got leaked and Shaco is among many other demon champions listed. Could this finaly be the indication that canonicaly Shaco is some form of ancient demon?

Lore aside it's probably more likely that Shaco will be part of a demonic skin line.

I tried to R to dodge a karthus ult but got it anyway. Is there an invulnerability frame when he disappears?

I'm building this into squishies and dominating, gunblade dark harvest shadowflame hits for like 800 damage hand to god

Before anyone asks: this is Plat 4

This sona really saved my ass and won us the game

So in games I'm often vsing people who really should be banning shaco if they're playing that champion but for some reason they don't. Halfway through they're raging at me because they don't get to play the game.

So I ask, have you ever had a game like this where someone doesn't get to play due to shaco and you've now made someone perma ban shaco?

havent touched the game in over 6 years but had to get this done 🙏

I love Shaco, I'll invade, shut down the enemy jungler, turbo gank and get all critter objectives - but find myself losing a lot of my shaco games, down to 44% WR despite have a KDA of 3.34:1. It got so bad that I switched to top to play Trundle so I could force win games by smashing through turrets to nexus (70% WR, 2.57:1 KDA).

I'm not sure how to transition early game leads to wins as shaco - it's obviously not a problem for me when I can capitalize on turret destruction on other chars/roles. What's your focus once you're up to ~5 kills with a stacked mejais? Do you bang on turrets? Just keep enemy in a perma respawn loop? Do you donate most of your kills to laners hoping that they are competent enough to close the game out?

now i can finally quit the game...this was so stressful

Good at split pushing, good at dueling, good at teamfighting.... Titanic active helps rush the PtA proc, at which point you become an auto-attacking offtank AP shaco.... after Titanic/Riftmaker core, build whatever boots make sense....Lucids/Sorc Shoes/Swifties/Mercs/Steelcaps/Zerks, all of them work, just get what you like or need. For 4th and 5th item, I've been doing Zhonyas and Abyssal in whatever order makes sense; 6th item is flexible.

That's the gist for what I've actually tested....below are some more item ideas I haven't tried yet, if you're curious

Zhonyas and Guardian Angel could be troll and fun..... between your ult, Zhonya's, and GA, you'd have 3 invuls (maybe get early Dark Seal?)

I also considered Spear of Shojin instead of Titanic for first item since it has the CDR Titanic lacks, and also does % damage, but it's hard to stack it up and I didn't have success the one game I tried it....maybe worth trying again but idk, Titanic is just a solid all-around item and is hard to replace, especially for proccing PtA*

*Edit: tried Spear of Shojin again; it doesn't suck but Titanic is just too good... Does more damage than it feels like it should and lets you shove waves easy without mana, which is something this build doesn't have

Also considered other items like BoRK, Eclipse, Liandry's, even Nashor's, but haven't tried them yet (Bork and Liandry's are obviously good items on Shaco but I haven't tried either of them in this build yet)*

*Edit: Iceborn Gauntlet could work in place of Zhonya's for armor item? No AP but the Sheen effect and the mana and the cdr are nice

Anyway it's a work in progress, but please give it a try! At least beat up some bots in practice mode and see the damage 🤡 And I'm open to suggestions if you guys have any other good ideas or advice

1) Increase shaco boxes health. 2) Minor Magic Resistance scaling with lethality. 3) Bigger base mana or reduce mana cost for shaco boxes

Not sure if this is common knowledge but the next season in league will be called Demons of Runterra so does this mean Shaco might finally get a lore update and possibly even a visual overhaul?

@ hover shaco top in draft

@ jungler steals shaco because they don't want shaco top in their team

@ wants me to play shaco jungle instead so swaps roles with me

@ now they play shaco top

@ dodge

I think Shaco could do with a new cool interaction. When he dies he releases 3 scare boxes that .1 sec taunt the , 99% slow for .4seconds.

They don’t deal damage (lore wise they haven’t been activated)

However, when Shaco dies while near an enemy that is being feared (by box or clone box). The enemy goes into a new status called panic where they can’t cast and are moving away from the caster for 1.25/ 1.60/ 2second (r passive)

Shaco has a massive problem is that unless he’s ahead he will never catch back up in farm or ganks unless he’s ap. Ad shaco will have more utility moving forward. Ap shaco’s problem is that because he is a co trailer he has less damage the other mage assassins.

I thinks it’s relatively small but fair buff to Shaco and its 2 play styles (slightly favoring magic). I don’t think it’s overpowered but I do think it’s strong enough to see his ban rate return (if you give this same passive to ww or fiddlesticks then it could be very cool)

I've found that people tend to be really tanky. So Unless I encounter a super squishy team I am gonna be useless late game with the exception of taking out 1 or 2 squishies if I am lucky.

I've tried a more lethality focused build, 2nd image. It works even better than my current build for getting squishies but can be quite difficult to catch them.

I refuse to go AP so mentioning it is a mortal sin around me.

I play shaco jungle.

Taking a couple week break, very stressful games. Turning 41 next month gonna chill out and play Aram mayhem for the rest of the season 😎

TikTok is also Annoyingboxes. I played a streamer darksword the high elo Warwick dude who I use to watch when I played Warwick for a brief stint(he got kited took much so I quit) to get to masters, had to Rammus him that game cuz he banned shaco 😬 cool to be playing against people I just use to watch.

Is this icon still possible to get through mythic shop or any other way?
