Hey everyone,

I started this year in Iron. Three months ago, I was Gold, and today, I finally hit Diamond by playing exclusively AP Shaco

During my climb, I had so many questions and struggled to figure out the right answers on my own. Now that I’ve reached Diamond, I want to give back and help lower Elo players (up to high Plat) who are trying to climb

If you play AP Shaco and need advice, pathing tips, or want me to look at a VOD, I’d love to help.
This is 100% free I don't claim to know everything, I just want to share what I've learned on my journey and help you guys climb like I did ❤️

Feel free to DM me or drop your questions in the comments!

I was skeptical, but as a masters OTP shaco I felt I could be getting a bit more out of AP shaco. I was going comet, and then BFT > Liandry > Mandate > Flex. I like the CDR playstyle a lot.

That being said, I've recently been swapping mandate out for stormsurge. Mandate is great, don't get me wrong, but there's a unique interaction with stormsurge and his burns and specifcally, DFT rune.

If your boxes do enough damage to proc stormsurge, then your DFT continues ticking with the increased damage for an insane period of time because stormsurge triggers liandries (which triggers DFT).

From a single box, I'm chunking people for 60% of their health.

I'm mostly here as a "hey heads up shaco players" because it feels incredibly busted.

Who are some good Shaco mains YouTubers or Streamers to watch as a beginner? To get some ideas and such?

Like spam gank until chickens respawn for sword buy -> faster clear or whatever?

I feel like you miss out on so much information by having to micro the back-stabs. I guess that's a soft-nerf for Shaco (and Zac collecting blobs!) but I wonder what other Shaco mains do to stay more aware of enemy champion HP bars and so on.

You constantly have to look away for that information which unless you have farming on super auto-pilot can mean less damage on your camps. Is super auto-pilot the answer? I understand that if you're 90 degrees to the side it will count as a backstab, which does help a lot.

You need a good team as it is when playing Shaco….

Realistically, when should you actually dodge champ select? Obvious troll picks like jhin top? What about adc brand? Or adc Aurelian sol? When someone pastes a stream link to twitch?

Are some of these the obvious signs someone is trolling and the game is a guaranteed loss? I see this a lot in gold elo where I am currently…

Keeping in mind I lose 5LP for dodge…..and if queue again and another troll champ select its 10LP for another dodge …..

Clip above highlights the title xd I was crying laughing vs a streamer

I just found out it's 728 RP on the discounted skin shop thingy. I used to play him back in the day and I already got masked,dark star and nutcracko. I don't play him that much anymore though. Should I invest my money on Cat too? Is it any good? What are you guys opinions?

Hi everyone i play league since beta and never OTPed a Champio, this season instarted playing shaco support and kinda fell in love 100 games later and i like playing him even more, but what champion could i play when shaco is banned/picked ? Rn i start getting into the habit of just randomly picking what i kinda feel in the moment but i am not enjoying the matches if i am not playing shaco :(. Maybe something that is not that troll to play currently i am Master Tier/low GM

been cooking and getting cooked on shaco but i this deal is crazy might just buy it

Im just starting learning League of Legends and no other champion has caught my attention nearly as much as Shaco has. I know hes not beginner friendly, but i just dont find any other champion nearly as interesting or fun as his gameplay. I plan on trying him out and im super excited about it, but i need to know whats good and bad about him, as well as difference between AD Shaco and AP Shaco, overall just as much information as i can get before so i don’t just jump in blindsighted

Reposted to fix title. 55%wr Shaco otp to plat with 135 Shaco games, AMA

look at my box

AP Shaco

Clear speed is good, I almost always reach scuttle at 2:55 before enemy …. I need tips and your insight (for those who got out of gold elo)

What to do in these types of matches:

1. While clearing I see all lanes are dying early

QUESTION: do I continue clearing (and play for objective) and let them die since they will continue dying anyway? Or gank but risk losing my camps to invade and potentially failed gank

1. While on the way to gank I ping I’m on the way, and they start going all in before I reach making it obvious…I still try my best but…

QUESTION: do I gank this lane next time? Knowing they will do the same thing again? Do I stop the “on the way” ping?

Do I just need to get better? That’s why I’m here I need tips

really shit video i made but it has some good info in. i realised my early invades were losing me games, so i investigated why

Is Shaco a good champion to main? I’ve decided to start playing jungle; I’ve reached Platinum in the bot lane several times, but I want to switch roles. Right now, I’m in Gold as a jungler and I’m not too concerned about climbing quickly, but I also don’t want to play a champion that doesn’t work or is frustrating because it’s not on par with the others.

Clutch teamfighting to comeback from a losing game state.

Yo what’s up everybody been an AP Shaco main for a minute I’m like low plat. I was wondering what exactly y’all do when the enemy starts going heavy on sweepers and pink wards. I feel like stacking boxes get wiped out and your ability on the map diminishes significantly. Open to any tips thanks!

Hey all, I'm having some fun with Shaco AD in the jgl. Something I keep wondering about when watching high elo players is the criterion with which they choose to buy lethality items and in which order: why/when to buy Voltaic, Hubris, Umbral, Yoummus, etc? When/why to buy crit items and which ones?

Thanks to anyone who'd like to share their knowledge and experience.
