Key takeaways

  • Current data slightly favors Jarvan IV, but the sample is too limited for a strong conclusion: Shaco wins 47.2% of 72 games (95% range 36.1–58.6%).
  • Both champions' overall Jungle win rates predict 49.7% for Shaco; the result is within the margin of error of that, so this matchup mostly reflects the two champions' general strength.
  • Neither side reliably wins the lane: the average gold difference at 15 minutes is 134, within the margin of error (71 games).
  • Shaco players pick Legend: Alacrity much less often against Jarvan IV: 53.6% of their other Jungle games, 37.5% here.
How we calculate this

Games: ranked Solo/Duo and Flex games on the North America server from the patch shown. Remakes (games under 5 minutes) are excluded.

A game only counts when Shaco and Jarvan IV played the same position on opposite teams, so roaming, lane swaps within a team or a champion merely being in the same game never count as this matchup.

The 95% range is a Wilson score interval. Confidence comes from how wide that range is: within ±3 points is very high, ±5 high, ±8 moderate, anything wider low. Below 20 games a matchup is not classified at all.

Expected win rate combines both champions’ win rates in this lane (same games and filters) with the log5 formula: E = A(1−B) / (A(1−B) + B(1−A)). Matchup effect = observed − expected.

"What changes" compares Shaco's choices in this matchup with the same champion's other games in the same lane, and lists a change only when it is at least 3 points and statistically significant (two-proportion z-test, |z| ≥ 2, 20+ games).

Results are not split by rank: the sample per rank is too small for honest per-rank matchup numbers.

Best Shaco Build vs Jarvan IV

Usual Shaco build (Jungle)

81.0% win rate · 21 games

Against Jarvan IV

Not enough matchup-specific build data: only 5 of 53 Shaco games against Jarvan IV carried a complete build, which is too few to recommend an item path from. Use Shaco's standard build instead.

  • Shaco usually completes Gustwalker Hatchling first, at 0.1 min (median of 44 games).
  • Jarvan IV usually completes Scorchclaw Pup first, at 0.2 min (median of 52 games).
  • Skill priority: E > Q > W — the same as usual.

Builds are ranked by the lower edge of their win rate range, not the raw win rate, so a build seen in a handful of wins never outranks a proven one.
