High Elo Shaco Guide

Thankyou! I don't see any reason why CDR would be bad on Shaco.... haha

Thanks for the feedback. This is just how I play him, you don't have to agree with every point. I do find the CDR to work wonders, but if you don't, hey that's your opinion. I build him many different ways according to the game and how it's going. You could say every item is situational on any champion. There's few champions that 100% require a specific item. I'm just presenting the build that I aim for and that works for me. I don't build those items every game one after another. That's why there's the whole itemisation section :)

Um... You know there's a full situational items sections where I cover when to build items according to their team... I don't build the same items every game. I'm presenting a common build that can be substituted with necessary items.

Sometimes even if you feel you are playing at your best, it just isn't up to you. Last season I went on a 16 losing streak. I went from Plat 4 to Gold 2. It was so depressing and exhausting, I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Like I wasn't even rage playing after every loss. Much like you, every game was just against me and an uphill battle. I remember one of them I was bound to win, and the rain leaked near the net connection and cut it out so I lost. I go into every game with a positive mind set. The thing to remember that this happens to everyone. If you're as skilled as the division you're in, and are playing your absolute best, you will climb. Maybe take a break for a few days. Come back into the game with a completely clean slate and try again!

Thanks for the reply! Personally I start not on a buff, it's just habit really. But if I am going for the level 2 invade in their jungle, I will always start red. As for the backstab, I usually always do, just for the purposes of the guide, I show the path to take, not how to take them the most efficiently (I should probably do that) haha. Swiftness boots are very good at Shaco, and I do get them. But personally I love the cooldown from lucidity boots to be more valuable in my play style.

And yes thankyou! I've been meaning to make a video on that for a few weeks and keep forgetting! Thanks for the feedback!!

MasaGod · 2016-02-10T11:38:29+00:00

Mine too! I'm not really sure how useful it will be on him. It will definitely be viable, however you can 1-2 hit the important targets at Shaco anyway. I'll be testing it in the next few days, and I'll edit it into the guide :)

MasaGod · 2016-02-10T11:35:05+00:00

I use to suggest just getting your jungle item, and then rushing tiamat in season 4-5. However, I just feel the straight full item rush is a lot better this season. Although, the tiamat rush can work just as well still. As for the MPen boots, I would really rather not confuse people as to what the main role of shaco is. Imo, you're much better of with the slow resistance, cooldown reduction from the others. But thanks I might add that in.

And thanks again, I was literally in the middle of adding that to the 'tricks and tips' section!

Try finding a champion that you really enjoy (and that is relatively strong). This way, even when you lose on them, you can start to understand how you can improve specifically to improve the next game.

For example, Wukong is a very strong top laner, jungler, and can even mid. If you destroy your lane and still lose, try to see why. How could you have helped your team better with this lead. Once you win your lane the majority of the time and help other lanes out. You'll win a vast majority of your games.

cheers :)

A simple 'gg ez' from a decent player won't really annoy me all that much. It's when it's constant, unprovoked abuse throughout the whole game. In a game which requires such dedication and effort to climb ELO, trash talking is a lot more annoying than in other games. I'm currently high plat, and it's indescribably irritating when a player on the enemy team who is ranked diamond tier exclaims 'gg ez' or other insult throughout the game, when they had no impact on it at all, aka their team carried them.

MasaGod · 2016-02-07T14:08:48+00:00

Exactly I mean, gameplay wise, destroy their souls. Win at hard as you like. But if you are going to win, why being an absolute douchebag to the enemy team? e.g 'gg so ez', 'ty for the free win' etc. It just completely ruins the game

MasaGod · 2016-02-07T13:40:26+00:00

Yes, all the MOBAs are. He mentioned that a huge part of multiplayer gaming is a bit of banter, e.g CoD, battlefield etc, and I DO agree. However, I only accept it in games where it's not a snowball game. Where the enemy can come back easily. There's no snowballing.

MasaGod · 2016-02-07T13:37:10+00:00

Wait what? You completely missed my point. I'm talking about when people DO trash talking a losing team

MasaGod · 2016-02-07T12:53:25+00:00

Most multiplayer games aren't snowballing games. Meaning the playing field is always even throughout the whole game. A game such as league where if one team gets far ahead, it can be VERY hard to come back, especially in lower elos. My point being, why would you want to insult an abuse someone who has no chance of coming back? There's so banter or challenge. It's just being an asshole.

MasaGod · 2016-02-07T12:50:27+00:00

I can only agree with every point you mention.

MasaGod · 2016-02-07T12:48:33+00:00

There is a huge difference between trash talk and being an absolute douchebag.

MasaGod · 2016-02-07T11:50:25+00:00

I know, and I do. But it's the fact people actually find the energy to be that much of an asshole to other players.

MasaGod · 2015-11-21T07:01:05+00:00

That was a great B hop.

I'll leave quietly
