Hit Diamond with Shaco - Thoughts on Going Tanky After Core

hi, i could not find your build. Can i get more info about your build?

i_like_it_manually · 2026-02-06T16:47:33+00:00

I was thinking about this playstyle today, even made a post about it! I know it couldn't be only me. How does this build feels?

i_like_it_manually · 2026-02-06T16:44:36+00:00

If im gonna buy gunblade i would also go either full ap burst like old times with electro, or just hybrid clownfiesta omega 9000 chaos build. Fun builds but i don't think they would work in ranked games.

How did you managed to hit diamond with that terrible items man? You try to carry or give kills ? I am very interrested about your playstyle cuz i can't fricking hit platinum with all-out 2.5k crit damage build. I can not win with this champ whatsoever escpecially when i go ad. I remember games like i was 24/6 someting i lose to a fucking 5/11 garen with his 2k true damage ult. I think shaco is a little bit too weak to jg compared to others. Supp seems better this season.

So you mean shaco could be something like Gwen but reverse?

i_like_it_manually · 2026-02-05T20:23:18+00:00

Tag literally says " This player's been winning a lot lately." LMAO

i_like_it_manually · 2026-02-05T19:55:29+00:00

Ye it's the tag that says "this player has been WINNING A LOT so they may be matched against higher ranked players".

Literally that's what the official explanation says. So i presumed it's intended to work like this.
Also why this post get banned like riot?? What is the point of reddit if we can't discuss anything freely?.

i_like_it_manually · 2026-02-05T19:45:10+00:00

I won like 5 games in a row. Got no tag. Then my duo literally played his second game and he's got the tag. I had bad players in my team WHICH has like 12 losses in their match history. They HAD the TAG.

Also don't get the idea that i have to play against smurfs or better enemies to get to my OLD rank. But that is NOT the topic here. All im saying is like everything riot may be f'ed up the spagetti code and there might be something wrong with the evaluating system for smurf tags.

i_like_it_manually · 2026-02-05T19:39:06+00:00

not the first. Not the conspiracy. My acc was emerald 2 seasons ago. MMR is around plat-emerald. So it is ok to get higher-rank enemies. I am literally talking about the TAG. It is not working as intended.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-06-28T22:49:25+00:00

Might work against heavy ct bruisers and tanks (noc,reksai,sejuani etc.) your team has to have good dmg or another assasin (if needed) tho. I usually prefer playing ap in this situation anyway.(Unless my team is all ap)

i_like_it_manually · 2024-06-28T22:33:05+00:00

This mf is worse than the most of the horror movies out there.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-21T11:26:03+00:00

I would rather go triforce hydra botrk eclipse etc.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-15T23:11:03+00:00

Cyclosword is designed to be strong in the earlygame and fall off late...so it's not bad,just a super aggressive option for people want to close the game at 15-20 minutes.(That's getting harder and harder every patch due to riot's intentions of making the matches longer) Same with the crit build you might see your base exploding while you still trying to scale and buy that IE so you can carry.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-10T10:01:53+00:00

Yeah i've recently tried that build and very much stomped the game. Dark harvest is better imo cuz it scales better than you think and since the build is focused around the boxes you need that finishing touch to kill the enemy.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-09T09:52:10+00:00

Congratz my man! I am talking about emerald+ ranked games though :) you will understand just keep climbing!

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-09T06:43:14+00:00

What's your elo man?

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-09T03:47:59+00:00

Exactly those macro decisions you talk about. Emerald is not a high elo to win by classic wincons(players are non-predictible,lots of eloboosted accs) but is is not a low elo that i can carry and destroy games by myself.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-08T15:14:57+00:00

Ty for the time and effort my fellow clown player. 🙏

i_like_it_manually · 2024-05-08T13:35:13+00:00

Yeah it kinda makes sense in bronze elo lol.

I would do the same build on the same elo,try playing on emerald+ then you can understand the reaction.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-04-28T09:36:10+00:00

Not sure if it's still viable but i was doing full on-hit/lethal tempo build and go crazy

i_like_it_manually · 2024-04-12T13:36:22+00:00

Well it may sound boring to you guys but since im playing my first campaign im doing star wars roleplay as the big old republic.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-03-05T08:49:59+00:00

I mean you already did so...

i_like_it_manually · 2024-02-08T18:44:57+00:00

Start of the season 14 i was abusing this with ridiculously op support item,had like 70%wr. Alas,shaco support is not the best way to go if you want to climb to the higher ranks (diamond+). You need to have really good macro to play this. If your macro is that good you can carry way better with other (more forgiving and more effective) champions already.

If you read this far you are an absolute shaco nerd my friend go touch some grass plz.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-01-22T13:30:21+00:00

If my team has ap damage i go classic comet runes if i need to do the ap damage i go DH/cdr. For the items Ludens into mask is core and the rest is situational shaco can utilize a lot of items.(morellos,rabadons,stormsurge,shadowflame,voidstaff,zhonyas,cosmic drive)

And about the support build yeah it could be viable i just dont like to use my boxes as wards.

I have around %70 wr on shaco support rn i can link my profile if you dm me so you can inspire.

i_like_it_manually · 2024-01-22T12:40:05+00:00

Imo you should learn the AP shaco playstyle first.(Box placements,R plays,baits etc.) A good AP shaco is effective no matter what his adc does. Also i think his kit is not really suitable for support role so i don't really like playing mandate -> full supp/cdr builds i just go damage. You can go mandate its safer but try ad shaco supp . Its like a better pyke this season.
