How to play Shaco in Patch 26.19, built from ranked games: power spikes, the lane plan, how leads convert, and the habits that separate Shaco wins from losses.

Shaco Mid and Late Game

What Shaco does better or worse than other champions after laning, from this patch's ranked games — percentiles where 100 is the highest of every champion.

Play to these strengths

  • Shaco out-wards most champions (percentile 76): keep owning vision around the next objective.
  • Shaco wins 31.4 points more in long games than short ones: avoid coin-flip fights early and let the game go long.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Shaco falls behind in CS (10/100): last-hit the waves you can, items still matter.

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.
