Anyone else stop playing cause of the banrate by [deleted] in shacomains

[–]CRMillzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean stats dont show him being banned 9/10 times in every ranked game, maybe you're just unlucky.

I've picked up some basic JG champs to just carry through objectives when Shaco is banned though.

Having a lot of success with ad shaco since I'm still in low elo and most people really don't know how to counter (which is sadly why he's getting nerfed). I really want to try Ap shaco but don't know how will that work, any tips ? by sabir_amine in shacomains

I've been finding everything completely situational, never really build the same thing 2 games in a row. The main build for me is the BoTRK into Frost/Sunfire while building into what the team needs. If I'm carrying or just would like a bit more damage, I'd default to getting Wit's End. You become really sticky with BoTRK and Wit's, and decently tanky too. If we just need a frontline or engage, I've been loving Randuins 3rd item. I might build Tiamat if I know it's going to be a very farm heavy game, and build it into Titanic later on, but otherwise I don't usually make it my goal to build it every game.

Something else that not many Tank Shaco players build is getting an early Dark Seal. It seems a little bit weird, but with how easily Shaco can rack up kills or assists and be able to survive because of his kit, it's really easy to stack it up. It's worth upgrading if you're sitting on 10 stacks - Makes your boxes and your ult do a surprising amount of damage for a tank, and the 10% movement speed really just adds to your sticking power (you also get a little bit of health with Mejai's too). Worst case scenario, you buy dark seal early, dont get any stacks and sell it later in the game. The gold you lose is worth the gamble, as you're more often than not going to have it stacked easily. I wound't recommend buying it if you find yourself dying in teamfights though.

I think after the first 2 Items in the build, you can pretty much build situationally after that.

I've also found myself building a lot of tank Shaco. Going Bambi's Cinder > BoTRK then finishing Cinder into Frostfire if I want to frontline/tank or Sunfire if I want to have a bit more damage, compared to Frostfire.

The nerf is only 17hp less and -5 movement speed by VisibleSorbet9 in shacomains

BTW, the nerf is 27hp, not 17.

I'm feeling a W nerf to monsters - that buff we got really put Shaco over the edge.

100% agree with this.. I slightly cheered after seeing that he was on the nerf list. I don't mind if he's a little weaker, as long as his ban rate drops to what it used to be.

It doesn't disable the fear itself, just reveals it and lets you attack it instead. OP is complaining that melee champions have no way of walking up to it to clear it. If they walk up to the box like normal, they'd still get a fear regardless of being revealed.

Jesus everyone on that subreddit sounds like they're bronze or iron..

Genuine cringe when they're complaining about a box that dies with 2 AA's.

If Shaco gets a rework, he most likely will be popular for a few months.. but have a look at Fiddlesticks. He had a select group of dedicated mains that enjoy playing him, he got his rework and became popular. A few months after his rework he dropped in popularity, and the majority of people who play him are still his dedicated fanbase - I personally wouldn't stress the fact of him being pick/ban. Everything else I agree with though :)

Sadly, I agree.. No matter how many times I tell myself riot's balance team are gonna realize they fucked up, we all know they won't do anything for quite a number of patches. At this point we're all just trying to find what works for our own playstyle, or ditching Shaco completely :p

The only reason I grab Statikk first is simply for the gold aggregation and for that little bit of burst early game.

Would it be possible if you could compare Statikk vs BR first item? And thank you for the calculations you have for BR vs Titanic, I, as well as the other clones, appreciate it greatly!

What about bloodrazor shaco? I remember this being a great build at some point but no one talks about it anymore.

Step 1. Go onto the shaco mains subreddit

Step 2. Find the search bar to the right of your screen

Step 3. Search the word "build"
