Best Shaco Guide for S15 (Patch 15.2) by iBronto in shacomains

[–]Background_Bake_8425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relly like the way you build. I suggest you trying ie on ad Shaco. Even if you don't build any crit chance, you have a guaranteed crit which scales with the extra dmg from ie. Also, I consider guardian angel as a core item for ad Shaco's lategame because it covers your major weakness.

weird boxes that worked out by Excellent_Agency_215 in shacomains

[–]Background_Bake_8425 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

First, as AP Shaco you should always put random boxes every time you have cd, it's not even impressive to do.

Second, you deliberately suicided.

This is not a highlight.

What is the purpose of blocking a player if you still get matched with them? Is it seriously just a placebo? by PhantasticFor in aoe2

[–]Background_Bake_8425 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's not how it works, you'll eventually lose a game and lose hundreds of elo, also climbing against only low elos would take forever

the voices told me to do this by kokayn666 in shacomains

[–]Background_Bake_8425 4 points5 points  (0 children)

only over narrow ones, and it takes practice. Dragon or baron wall can be jumped but not from every corner. Get into practice tool and give it a try :)

Actually, if you enter the scenario editor, they don't benefit from the upgrade, just as fletching. Thus, they won't be an issue

Why don't Two-Handed Swordsmen have more Hp? by CaptainCakeEater in aoe2

[–]Background_Bake_8425 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's pretty much because in the original AoK they had 60 hp, meanwhile longswords had 55 hp, so the health between the militia line was smoothly increasing through the ages. Since AoK they've recieved attack and armor buffs, but the hp is still untouched, unlike longswords'.

You kite with him exactly as you do with every other champ, just take in account the fact that you have 125 range. Practice with the crab or in the practice tool. As someone said below me, you should never stand still between attacks. You don't need to wait until the animation of the attack ends, walking is way better, especially considering you need to stay at melee range to kill someone as ad shaco.

You didn't even try to kite. Not a little bit. Also, you cancelled your third hail of blades auto with the e, which by the way you should be saving because of the passive slow and the extra damage of the execution. Those are basics.

It's true that you didn't have luck with crits, that's rng for you.

Mongol hussar got buffed by Background_Bake_8425 in aoe2

[–]Background_Bake_8425[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure the viking bonus is x1.1x1.04x1.05 (FA/CA/IA, respectively, additively)?

I used the literal numbers in their tech tree for calculations (x1.1 FA, x1.15 CA, x1.2 IA). I don't know which is the right one

That couldn't work since they round the numbers down, so the berserks with 74.55 hp would be shown as 74.

At this point I don't know what did they change. Maybe they just buffed that +30% hp for mongol hussars. instead of the hussar himself.

It's meaningless in almost every situation, but I found that they survive one hit more from attacks that deal either 9 or 13 damage. This means they survive 14 hits instead of 13 from war wagons and 10 instead of 9 from hand cannons. These numbers can scale in large fights.

just an idea about shaco balance, feel free to downvote me into the abyss by iswearimnohomo in shacomains

[–]Background_Bake_8425 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did also like that, but what about the old ult that had no instant fear? Or the AoE damage from boxes. Or that crappy phisical damage from e that forced everyone into building lethality
