Shaco 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 a much higher late game win rate than their early game win rate. Take advantage of this by spending the early game farming and avoiding unneccessary fights.
- 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.
