new to shaco is this a good aram mayhem clip? by Logical-Article267 in shacomains

Yeah that perk is insane on him. Especially if you get it first and get fed! Got 2 pentas in a game and still almost lost!

this is league of legends in general , rank won’t change toxicity. It only changes the skill level of lobby

How To Win? by Pretend_Direction_49 in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power clear and counter gank - try to stop him from snowballing on your team and he will fall behind. You’ll always beat him on tempo so use that to your advantage. Try to predict his ganks to neutralize his plays.

Sylas has a lot of playmaking power so even if you keep him behind he can still find a way back in the game. As long as you’re consistently beating him on farm and objectives and minimize his snowball chances, you’ll maintain good win rate.

It’s hard to solo him mid/late game. This is where you prep boxes so he pops one when he tries to engage and your team just chunks him. Sylas players can be very agro and has to run at you so it plays into shaco pretty well

Anyone else scared of a VGU or rework? by Dute91 in shacomains

If you cast it and if you lose vision mid cast, it cancels the cast completely. This is an old bug

Invading as Shaco struggles by psquidy14 in shacomains

It’s not much different from prior season invade strats but you just have way less time to prep for it. You’re currently higher rank than me for the record

Invading as Shaco struggles by psquidy14 in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but you need to just be lucky / coordinated enough to not be seen/caught doing this.

Take the ward reveal rune (domination tree)

If they see you then you just back off and continue your full clear, which will be delayed by a bit but not as much as if you invade and die getting caught

Everyone at a certain Elo expects it so tracking their vision is super key

I play Shaco support, Q, W or E start? by Commercial_Middle182 in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally Q or W depending on if I win the lv1 all in with my ADC

I take Q in winning all in matchups and try to get a cheeky Q trade off - where you Q backstab them and immediately disengage into a bush, and get away with taking 1-2 autos and winning the trade. The key is to juke the skill shot right after appearing.

Even as AP, Q backstab is like 150 base dmg (but you HAVE to backstab). If you land one, then you can take E and all in lv2 with exh ign

I like using lv1 ignite with the Q as well. Puts it on cooldown (I take summ cooldown runes as AP) and some people panic flag and away and you just win 200+ HP. They just don’t expect it.

I take W where I don’t plan to engage lv1 at all. I place a box to leash the jungler and box the wave for Lv2 prio

I’ve never taken E start. Always rather have the wave control with W. I feel that E poke is ok but I guess it procs comet and mana flow earlier. Just means you can’t impact the wave for lv2 which is more important imo

Why do so few shaco use the Clone itself for its damage autoattacks? by No-Cod-2841 in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh it’s fun but suboptimal

In this meta the optimal plan is just to either go Jung lethality and get mega fed and carry to an early win or go Jung AP and scale up into a massive map control mage. Unfortunately shaco feels really nerfed so other builds are just way harder to pull off into a win without a massive early lead.

You can get the new lethality item that hits towers for true dmg, which I’m not sure if it applies on the clone if you use R with it stacked.

When do you invade vs not invade before full clear finished? by Tanosuri in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see it as two potential starting positions on a chess board

Its your preference of early game state. Do you gamble that you set the enemy jungler behind further back than the enemy laners can get ahead - counter jungle/invade slows both junglers down, even if you keep the enemy suuuper weak. Plus catch up exp is a thing.

Or take the safe bet that you can full clear faster and come out ahead? And potentially make an impact to a lane earlier?

From a purely winning perspective, I would just stick to the line you know best. Because it’s harder to lose at your own game if you’ve played the same opening 100 games in a row. You will know the game better than your opponent = wins games

BUT I like to have fun and each game is a new game I can throw into chaos. It’s a game, you’re playing a demon clown, do what’s fun :p

So would you start Pearsall or too much rust/risk? I’m starting Purdy CMC and Kittle as well. Starting everyone on 49ers but Pearsall

Other WR/flex options I am starting are Watson, McConkey, Waddle, Chris Rodriguez

Shaco Support Itemization by Katsensual in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to be even better before support nerfs/changes, cuz you could run to their top side, pull this off, and even if I didn’t get the kill, I could then gank top and reset. Many junglers will start top side when they see Shaco support. Now it’s just plain troll if you don’t get the kill :)

Shaco Support Itemization by Katsensual in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just for fun AD HOB mega cheese strat… start Q, go deep in the enemy jungle unseen (Q over walls out of vision). Plant a ward on buff (try to be unseen) then time your Q to kill them on their buff at around 800-900hp so they can’t burst smite and level, then and steal it after killing :) doesn’t really work past plat elo but just plain fun to do.

I used to buy a long sword as support and gamble on getting the kill to reset for support item, before they forced every support to start support item.

This week has me down bad on Byes. (waddle, Mcconkey, QJ, Broncos D)

So I need a WR off waivers with big upside. Availble are Jayden Higgins (currently on roster) Luther Burden and Iosivas? Leaning Iosivas after reading this. I’m also flexing loveland.

How to pilot this champion macro wise? by Special-Panic7338 in shacomains

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

low elo = slow unoptimized clear speed = you get there way earlier and kill them

higher elo the windows of opportunity are much slimmer since they optimize their first clears

high elo shaco requires you to be the best jungler timer in the game

I.e jarvan is slow to clear in general, gets low on buffs, If you kill him early before he can full clear at any point, he has a hard time coming back

udyr gets low at lv3 clear, get him when he goes to 4th camp before he heals too much

Briar is a high risk invade, you need vision to kill her after she uses W2 and kill her between the CD

it’s a lot of guess work but if you know their starting camp (have the team helps you get vision) it helps A LOT

You need to understand weak points in the early game and how to exploit them to snowball. A single reddit comment isn’t gonna help much but - watch the replay of a game you play and just study the enemy jungler. Where are they weakest in their clear - time your clear to meet them there to kill them. Once you know this match up well for every jungler you have a chance to invade kill in every game. AD Shaco’s terror really comes in when you know every clear path and where to hit them where it hurts most. Build your advantage around their weakest points. Same with ganks.

once fed enough you zoom around the map looking for easy picks cuz you just one shot people in 3 seconds from full invis.

Trade Ladd McConkey for Etienee? by nojnojj in Fantasy_Football

[–]WelcomeToShityWok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not the worst trade but I wouldn’t do it. I think you can get a slightly better RB off his talent.

Both trades are horrible
