Briar vs Shaco Matchup Summary

The Briar vs Shaco matchup is a moderate matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 141 recent matches analyzed, Briar wins with a 51.8% win rate compared to Shaco's 48.2%, giving Briar a 3.5 percentage point advantage. Briar dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Shaco players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Briar leads by 1,498 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Briar has a statistical edge, but the margin is close enough that respecting Shaco's strengths is important. Trade when cooldowns are favorable, track the enemy jungler, and build toward your strongest item spikes to convert the slight advantage into a decisive lead. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
