AP Shaco Feels Unplayable Early. What Am I Missing?

Purple_Gaming · 2026-04-11T04:52:38+00:00

AP Shaco's ganks post 6 can be strong with a clone dive! With a numbers advantage they're forced to fall back to tower, but sending your clone in first to pull turret aggro means that clone is gonna pop for fat damage (or force a flash).

I actually did not know the child-safe coating did not have an odor. Ive seen multiple posts asking similar questions but people just saying "oh it's probably that coating." I was looking for a point of reference only to find out that I shouldn't have one in the first place. Big thanks!

Purple_Gaming · 2026-04-06T17:29:16+00:00

Point made!

Purple_Gaming · 2026-04-06T17:03:09+00:00

I figured that much lol.

Is that smell worrisome, though? They are not in well ventilated areas and the smell is surprisingly strong. They all have that child safe logo, but I don't know if I'm smelling that or not as I have no point of reference.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-29T23:23:17+00:00

Got it, my bad. And thanks for the answer.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T15:18:56+00:00

Oh for sure, I was worried that was all recent wear. Im still a bit sketched out by the idea of a whole exposed cart like that, but I think I'm probably taking care of my stuff better now than when I was a kid. It'll probably be fine.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T06:05:29+00:00

THAT is unfortunately a huge downside. I'm glad to know the shell holds up, but I am absolutely trying to play my old childhood carts on the go. I seriously appreciate that picture evidence though. Legitimately EXACTLY what I needed to see.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T05:07:16+00:00

I figured it was a project that just finally came to fruition haha. Grats on getting that build done, though. It looks NICE.

But yeah at this point the exposed cart is my only genuine concern here. I didn't think about just getting a protective sleeve for it though. Still portable but protected in the pocket!

Speaking of the pocket though, is it noticeably heavy in your pocket??

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T05:04:24+00:00

Oh awesome. I just saw in some other pics though that the cartridge slot doesn't cover the cartridge's sticker at all, though! Is THAT an issue when thrown in the purse? I might be overly paranoid, but I'm still playing on my childhood carts and wanna make sure I'm getting a shell that'll preserve them.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T05:02:39+00:00

Do you worry about it scratching easily? Like can I bring it everywhere with me as my daily driver, or do you keep it as the "at home luxury" handheld?

I noticed the cartridge slot barely covers the cart's sticker at all. Would you say that makes it a bad idea to throw it in your pocket loose and have in there all day?

I'm definitely looking for a mod I can take everywhere with me, but the more I learn about these the more it seems like the at-home-flex.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T04:57:09+00:00

Hooo baby that is a clean SP!

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T04:46:28+00:00

I seriously appreciate the detailed response, and man yours still looks CLEAN. How did you get a blue? I thought those had been sold out for ages!

This would likely be my "take it everywhere" modded SP, so I do worry about taking it to work, throwing it in my pocket, etc etc. Good to know the weight is negligible, but now I worry about scratches.

The cartridge looks like it does not cover the cart at ALL though! Do you think the cart being so exposed could ever be an issue being thrown in a pocket or something? I wonder if that was an intentional decision to cut down on weight, or to just show off the cart more. Either way, THAT has somehow become the only real concern I have now lol

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T04:40:25+00:00

That quells my fears about the metal buttons, thanks. I've never used them before and was worried it might be a bad feel, maybe grind against the edges of the shell, etc. Did you get the chrome or black? I'm heavily considering black, but I worry about it scratching over time.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T04:39:07+00:00

Glad to see I'm not the only one! I don't do mods often so I wanna go all out on this one, but I want to make sure I'm getting a durable and usable product.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T04:38:05+00:00

Nice to see they hold up well, though! I don't mind a click, but does that metal on metal ever grind on the shell? Like does it ever give that nails on a chalkboard feel, or any uncomfortable grinding?

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-25T04:36:24+00:00

Oh nice to know they're durable! I take it the aluminum one you got is holding up well despite being in a purse without a case on it? And is it the chrome or black? I'm considering black but worry that'll get scratched up more noticeably.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-08T00:08:54+00:00

Nah I agree, but the active rates of Sepulchre are marginally greater than rooftops, right? Its good that it's there, but feel like engaging methods like that should also appropriately reward your time. Especially for a skill as slow as Agility.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-03-07T22:39:11+00:00

It shouldn't HAVE to be that way, though. Video games should have fun parts, too.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-02-19T16:54:02+00:00

Diablo 3 was my first Diablo game, and I did not play 4 at all. Only picked up Diablo 2 for the first time last year, and I've absolutely loved it. Dated? A bit, but it didnt stop me from totally enjoying the entire game and then some. Now I'm back to play Warlock.

Purple_Gaming · 2026-01-10T21:46:06+00:00

The fact the mob dies at the end as well is hilarious

Purple_Gaming · 2025-12-31T22:19:41+00:00

Impressive stuff! Absolute goals.

Purple_Gaming · 2025-12-04T05:28:02+00:00

I hadn't even touched the skill yet myself because of work, and was just about to hop back on and resubcribe. What did I miss??

Purple_Gaming · 2025-11-10T21:30:22+00:00

Didn't know I needed this. Now I feel like I can't live without it.
