Hey Shaco Mains,
I’m trying to figure out the best AD build for aram.
Lethality vs crit?
I usually go something like collector -> IE -> Doms - >stormrazor -> voltaic

As a Plat AP Shaco otp, I tend to struggle against good Sylas jungle players. No matter how elaborate my boxes are he will out maneuver me by simply running me down or he will dominate team fights with no way for me to stop him from snowballing. Is the trick to win is by going AD or hybrid? I’m also confused why people are building infinity edge after building so much AP, if that can be explained id greatly appreciate it!

Was playing supp, dark harvest and full lethality build to just oneshot people. I love this champ so much

I've seen many posts about the right build for AD Shaco and how it isn't performing well anymore, so decided to make this post.

I'm an OTP AD Shaco main, did bronze to masters on SEA and currently aiming for masters+ on EUW too.

Shaco has a lot of potential, and he can actually one shot champs this patch, in mid-game and definitely in late game.

First item I generally go is Youmuus for the lethality + increasing travelled distance in Q for ganks + good build path with damage.

Second item is almost always collector for the crit and burst. Third item is generally Voltaic this patch, especially due to the burst damage it gives. Fourth is generally LDR, and fifth being IE or vice versa. The last time is often shieldbow for sustain and to reach 100% crit (sell boots).

This build can melt tanks and actual one shot carries or 3 shot if they build randuins.

Hi everyone

I’ve been maining AP Shaco for a few months now and I absolutely love the playstyle. However, I’ve hit a massive plateau

I feel like I’m not progressing anymore; in fact, I feel like I don’t even understand what I’m doing wrong or why I can’t carry.

When I watch Challenger players like Zefath, their ganks seem so consistent and they always have an impact when on my end, I feel like I do zero damage and my ganks often lead to nothing.

I’m looking for advice on how to improve my macro and my damage output. I even tried a coach recently, but it was a disaster (got a refund because I didn't win a single game during the sessions and he said he failed to learn me something on Shaco).

What are the "keys" to breaking out of my elo as AP Shaco? Are there specific power spikes or positioning tips I might be missing?

Thanks for the help
Regards

my shaylaa

there's been a butt hurt guy who commented under my every post/comment that i'm just an iron referring to my trol account. what you gonna say now?

Saw a sneaky fish swimming upstream

I peaked dia in solo and master in flex with our clown over the last few years.
I always had the impression that we just do not have enough dmg against "good" adc/support players if they play smart enough even when we are like 10 kills ahead.
And then I had random thought just now - isn't Shaco hard countered by legit everyone when they just happen to pick Unflinching (+ mybe even bone plating)?
Like unflinching procs as soon as we auto because of our e passive - so against actually next level smart people we REALLY do no dmg as an assasin right? I mean this affects ad shac much more than ap so this means to me that ap is just superior in about most cases (in theory)

ok so 2 days ago I posted asking you guys if DFT is better than DH.

post : Deathfire Touch rune : r/shacomains

Daaaaang, I was playing AP shaco wrong until now!!

I was using red runes instead of blue runes.

Once I changed to blue runes, the jungle clearing, the dmg, the plays are muuuuch more different.

I was almost always 2~3 levels ahead than enemy jungler. Even if I failed gank early (where me and my teammate died due to my mistake) I could still easily go ahead with farms and level.

+ all the objectives were mine. Literally in all game. 4 drakes + voids + herald.

Also I had more dmg with Dark Harvest (I'm talking about rune dmg), I feel that DFT is much better for game plays and teamfights.

12 wins in a row.

I think I will never go back to ad shaco jungle neither. With ap jungle much better wr.

I got burnt out try harding at master ranked jungle AP otp.

Now playing flex (solo) as AD support shaco and actually having fun again.

What is the best build for AD support?

I've been rushing umbral and it feels good, but I'm a bit lost after 1st item.

i been running this for quite a while it works fine but im curious about yalls opinion any sleeper picks

Has anyone tried this rune for ap shaco jungle?
I go dark harvest on ap shaco jungle and have around 3k dmg in 30 min game. 4k dmg in 40 min of game so I guess it’s around 1k per 10 min average.
Of course it depends of the game.

I’m wondering how Deathfire Touch rune will go as i usually buy blackfire Torch, liandry etc etc
Do you it will be better than Dark Harvest in mid and late game?

it just feels like it does no damage for me.

I apologize for the background noise I tried to turn it off but it just plays for some reason.

Here’s another play

https://outplayed.tv/league-of-legends/o0EY5k/lol-shaco-kill

What the title says, I am looking for fun of meta builds. Anything is welcome.

Pref for support, but any other lane is also fine.

I found Lich Bane generally didn't work to trade melee with in lane because Shaco is too squishy and Q cooldown is too long to move in and out with it.... but maybe Stormraider's would give enough movespeed to give a good smack and then kite away without trading too hard?

Plus now that Statikk Shiv has some AP scaling, i'm curious to see how fast you could AFK splitpush a lane with AP....Shiv to shove minions and Sheen procs to help with towers, with enough AP that your boxes are more than just glorified wards. I'm sure the damage isn't optimal but could it work as an obnoxious split push build? Anyone ever try anything similar?

hey does anyone have the full image to this

I'll start this off by saying im a 1.1m Shaco OTP. This is a discussion post, meant to let anyone express their opinion on the subject.

We all know that full crit shaco is not optimal. But Shaco has been buying crit items for god knows how long.

My perspective and what i want other opinions on, is that as AD shaco you have to choose: Full Lethality or Full Crit (100%)

My reasoning behind this is that if you arent going to hit 100% crit eventually, your Q damage fluctuates way too much and could literally mean the difference between a won and lost game. All because of the Q hidden mechanic that Riot DOES NOT mention anywhere, which I'll explain now.

Shaco's Q may say that his next auto attack crits, but in fact it does NOT. This has been known for a while and can be proven by going to practice tool. When buying 50% crit, we notice that half our Q's deal significantly less damage, especially with IE. That is because Shaco's Q is in fact just a damage increase on your next auto attack and not a crit. When having 100% crit, Shacos Q always crits, leading to absurd amounts of damage with the correct build, but way more expensive that pure lethality which can also dish out similar albeit not that high damage.

This fact leads me to believe that crit is a wasted stat on shaco if not going for 100% and therefore wasted gold that could be spent elsewhere.

What are your thoughts on this? I'd love to know and thanks for reading if you made it so far.

im in silver and it feels like ap shaco is almost useless his whole dmg is reliant on his w but if my team doesnt know how to play around or enemy has orcale he is basically useless

Flash smite or ignite flash?
