Shaco vs Janna Matchup Summary

The Shaco vs Janna matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 16 recent matches analyzed, Shaco wins with a 56.3% win rate compared to Janna's 43.8%, giving Shaco a 12.5 percentage point advantage. Shaco dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Janna 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 330 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Shaco players can confidently pick into Janna and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Janna away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Shaco holds the advantage at every stage of the game, making this a consistently favorable matchup from lane through late game team fights. Janna players should look for outplays, team-dependent strategies, and picks rather than relying on scaling to win this matchup.
