MetaBot Tips
  • Shaco has less damage per game than most other damage-based champions. Your value to the team may be better oriented towards crowd control or securing objectives.
  • Shaco has more magic resistance than most champions, which makes them excellent in the early game against magic damage type enemies.
  • Shaco has more health regen than most champions, making their playstyle optimal for aggressive trades in lane.

Playing Shaco

  • Using Deceive over terrain can help you make a clean escape.
  • Try getting items with on-hit effects. These will also benefit your Hallucination clone.
  • Backstab's damage can be increased with increased Critical Damage effects like Infinity Edge.

Playing Against Shaco

  • If Shaco is doing well early-game, it is worth the investment to place Stealth Wards near his Jungle camps.
  • If Shaco uses Deceive to enter a fight he won't be able to quickly use it again to get away. Work with your team to quickly focus him down.
