Nami vs Shaco Matchup Summary

The Nami vs Shaco matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 60 recent matches analyzed, Nami wins with a 68.3% win rate compared to Shaco's 31.7%, giving Nami a 36.7 percentage point advantage. Nami 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 damage output, where Shaco leads by 393 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Nami players can confidently pick into Shaco and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Shaco away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
