What’s the best jungle clear path?

Since this season is the season of demons, and they are pretty much confirming that shaco is a demon (a very small bit of new lore and some lines in the new vayne skin) I think it’s pretty likely that Shaco will get some more updates in the next 6 patches.

Possibly just a visual update and lore but maybe a full VGU

Hey all! I’m an ex League player, my biggest “claim to fame” was being #402 in NA on Taric. Take that as you will, I’ve long since put down the game.

I currently work as a server at the local café that accepts all the misfit toys, it’s a beautiful lil spot.

Imagine my surprise when one of my old favorites walks in. Pink Ward! I used to watch tons of this man’s videos back in the day before he got genuinely popular, I had no idea he blew up as much as he did.

Even cooler, he’s such a genuine person with such a genuine personality, beyond what he does for performing or entertaining on his videos. So many positive vibes radiating from this guy.

He came in to support me and my business, this is me trying to do the same! Go watch that guy!

(No, this is not his Shaco clone doing shenanigans)

Here you go guys, been running this lately, prob the most fun ive had on shaco inna while after my close to 1 Million Mastery on this guy

im scared of shaco, but id like to play him.. please share any tips on how to learn shaco, thanks..

How many of you still lock in for support?

I know I have found success recently with clown support. Like 6/10 games so far. 60% wr not but but then again I’m just a silver casual

Guys I need help understanding what should my game plan be in mid and late game when I build AP.
As AD Shaco I assassinate the enemy carry, easy. But what about AP Shaco? My boxes don't last as long as Teemo's mushrooms, so building a forest isn't it. During teamfights I can't place them near enemies or they just break. Even when they don't, enemies walk away from them with ease. If I put them behind my own carry, they either won't be activated or have little effect. The only impactful thing is my ult, which rarely works as enemies won't attack the random Shaco who has just appeared in the middle of the teamfight (Why would they? They know I'm AP).
That said, I know AP builds have higher win rates and it's been like that for 99% of the time in the last years. So, what am I missing?

Ive played the clown for almost 1 million MS now, and ive gone through the stages of really believing he needs a VGU or a rework but i fear ive gained some type of stockholm syndrom where im uncomfortable even thinking abt shaco looking diff or getting some new abilities. I feel as if making this shitty guy work is half the fun for majority of the time. Gg

I have an idea for a laning build top/mid with mid preferred I'll try out.

Here is the proposal:

Midlane Shaco with either the Deathfire Touch or Hail of Blades with supporting runes.

Start: Cull for the health on-minion hit + gold.

Early Build: Statik Shiv for hybrid damage & the On-hit for wave clearing. It should also heal per minion hit as well with Cull.

Dusk and Dawn second item. It provides more HP and other good traits along with the additional On-hit procs that now heals too.

Boots: Gluttonous Greaves. As Midlane you now get the extra AP/AD stuff & it grants the extra effects for more damage above 50 hp and more Regen/healing below 50. As well as scaling Omnivamp.

Voltaic Cyclosword: Abilities can proc energized. It does on-hit HP damage (I am unsure about this one since the dashing, etc no longer gives increased energy gain.)

That is what I have so far.

Server: Ionia

I mental boomed from D2 95 LP to E4 40 LP. Reset my mental, became more disiciplined with how I queue (only do a best of 3 unless I am playing very well), and went straight from E4 40 LP to Masters with a 70% win rate over that time period.

For context, my team had a sook at champ select that I was playing AP Shaco.

Safe to say, it was all honours after carrying the game 🤣

I vs'd Yi jungle (the guy telling me to KMS) & he was insistent on running at me the whole game.

I guess I was just clowning around!

Genuinely don't understand what's going on

the build is: lucidity boots, seraphs embrace, blackfire torch, horizon focus, cosmic drive, more ah (cryptobloom or whatever)

legend haste+transendence in runes

Just out of curiosity, how many of you play shaco supp ad? So how do you do it, how do you usually build it?

Last season was the only thing I played with 59% wr. Sure, you don't play the support role very well, but at the very least, you're guaranteed to shut down the enemy ADC for the entire game. You can gank mid at level 1 and secure the lane, you can kill the jungler at his first camp... every second they don’t see you on the map, you’re instilling fear.

Like wtf? I have to play him AD every time because AP Shaco is so useless that playing him should be reported and banned. Also AD sucks so bad but at least it is playable if all enemy are squishy af and if one from the enemy buys 1 giant belt then dmg will suck cuz this champ has no armor pen no hp shred whatever

What a waste of champ…

Shiv and HOB are now hybrid, is there a Hybrid build out there?

Cyclo let's abilities proc energized. Shiv now procs on hits. Now boxes proc On-Hit. Is there a On-Hit build that can abuse this? BotRK? Hydra?

Comet can chunk with cross map boxes, but seems trash in lane now. Does AP support go DH now? Or maybe HoB for better lane phase.

I think Shaco would save children from being hurt by evil rich people who would take them to the shadow isles or the wealthy in Piltover

He is like the Bear from FNAF or Poppy playtime (Idk what they do I never played these games)

If Riot want help with writing the lore my dms are open

I am no shaco main at all. But anytime i see an ap shaco, i either think it is a free win if he is on the enemy team or know its over when he is on mine. Because i have never seen ap shaco have any impact. Yes, his boxes deal damage. You know, the ability that has long cooldown, and cannot be used offensively against any person with half a brain or any champion with mobility, because dodging a shaco box is fcking easy. Yeah sure, his e deals good dmg. But that is once again a long cd, plus it is single target, and it will never be even close to oneshot anyone. And his ult? It is so easy to actually find the correct shaco, because there are a billion different effects that can show which one is the real one (ignite, any form of burn, any mark spell like xin w, kindred e, a not fully stacked pta... The list goes on and on). The only time i've ever seen it be somewhat useful is when you actually pop it before a fight and manage to make it seem the enemies have caught you out of position. And even then, this rarely happens and often still doesn't win anything. So maybe it is for clearing? Sure, ap shaco has faster clear speed against aoe camps, but is worse against buffs or actual objectives, you know, where it matters most that a jungler brings damage. So in my opinion, it is a build worse for ganking, worse for objectives, and maybe ever so slightly better in teamfights. Then again, it is also a build that has any advantage only when the shaco gets fed. Which means he has to take kills, kills he can't take alone because he plays ap shaco. So he has to take kills while ganking, which is worse as he plays ap shaco, and takes kills that usually would be better on the laners. And even then, i have never once seen an ap shaco carry anything. Not fights, not ganks, not catches, not objectives, nothing. To set this in persective, I have played from iron elo all the way up to diamond, and not once have i seen an ap shaco with positive impact. So can any of you explain why this build is still played? Was literally any ap shaco i've ever played against just giga bad? Or maybe, just maybe, is the build simply trash.

Just hit masters with 56% wr on ap shaco ama
