i also have a guide on shaco jungle!
https://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/build/13-10-most-detailed-ad-shaco-jungle-guide-626013

i am from argentina and i write this guide with my poor english and using google traductor, also its redacted like **** so sorry for that, btw if this guide gets feedback i will update asap with an ad build, more matchups, tricks and mechanics, also if u wanna see synergy with other laners check the jungle guide

pros

+ roaming + boxes provides map and objetive control + set up traps and outplay potential + engage and negate most of enemies engages + boxes can protect teammates in lane and teamfights + excellent leash + tilt enemies + fun to play especially if u master it + good vs melee teams

cons

- suffer against poke - mana and cd problems in early - vulnerable to control wards, oracle lens and umbral glaive - hard to play - most of ur teammates are going to blame or troll u just because of ur pick

the first thing u need to do when the game starts is put a box for prevent or delay a invade, if ur jungler need leash put two boxes in the ally buff, also u can do a hard leash putting two more boxes in next camp

boxes can be multifuctional, caben used as wards, to bring vision in a bush u don't want to facecheck, to gain objetive control with boxes, in lane to avoid ganks or roams, to set up a trap for enemies, to block skillshots or just outplay them

im not going to talk about mechanics bcs there are many videos about it on the internet, but maybe one day! i recommend to learn R mechanics and Q jumps bcs are so useful tricks

this build helped me the most in soloq since its the one who bring the most damage to enemies

we need gold to carry as a shaco support and this entire rune page provides it

this saves us 300 early gold and u can get free boots earlier if u snowball

gives us the sustain and mana we need in lane, especially if we are struggling at poke champs, keep in mind that the lower your health and mana is, the more efficient the biscuits will be

we got early summoners and early wards

having ur habilities up earlier can mean even more survability, also allows u to set up boxes faster

more damage if case that we need it or gives u even more snowball opportunities

in resume this korean liandry shaco have all the tools to hard snowball a game, our game plan is simply destroy them and provide our team objetives

EARLY CORE

flash and Q gives u survability, stack this and u can snowball

a little help to ur mana issues in early

solve the mana issues on early and allows u to use habilities more often

has more impact against enemies who abusing healing but anyways gives u damage and utility

CORE

the best damage item for shaco, these stats solve all of shaco problems and the passive who our W procs its all we need

a lot of damage against squishy enemies and works very well with shaco habilities

BOOTS

allow u to snowball, works very well combined with shadowflame

REST OF BUILD

allows to hard snowball, keep in mind ur dark seal stacks before buy this

has more impact against enemies who abusing healing but anyways gives u damage and utility,buy it as last item

OPTIONAL

if really feed and need to carry ur useless teammates

this build leaks of damage but has so much utility, provides ur team map and objetive control with wards an more boxes, also provide more playmaking with everfrost and zhonya

this shaco lacks of damage so this is useful, especially in situations that you want to execute an enemy with E

sustain in lane, useful if u are struggling at poke champs

insane map control with wards and boxes

allows u to do constant plays with everfrost or zhonya and also clear vision faster

less mana issues in early

having ur habilities up earlier can mean even more survability, also allows u to set up boxes faster

in resume this korean everfrost redemption shaco brings so much utility, map and objetive control, even can damage if we stack dark seal, our game plan is provide peel to our carry, gain map control, put boxes to gain objetive control and also able to make plays with everfrost cc

EARLY CORE

flash and our Q gives u survability, stack this and we can snowball

a little help to shaco mana issues in early

solve the mana issues on early and allows u to use habilities more often

early boots means roaming and also able to dodge skillshots

CORE

amazing item for shaco in terms of playmaking and have nice synergy with our boxes fear, u can use it while invisible or engage with flash

peel or teamfight potential and gives mana and sustain across the time

BOOTS

allows u to use your abilities and summoner spells more often

REST OF THE BUILD

provides insane survability and allows playmaking

allows to hard snowball, keep in mind ur dark seal stacks before buy this

OPTIONAL

consider buying it against enemies who hard abuse healing

purchase this as last item instead of morellonomicon bcs gives u even more healing with redemption

if really feed and need to carry ur useless teammates

yes, flash on shaco its really useful bcs u can survive even more than usual (this is important in a dark seal build) and also opens a gap of playmaking opportunities

ignite provides that extra damage u need to kill or execute an enemy with E, also ignite bring utility against a enemy who abuse healing and have a nice anti-heal synergy with oblivion orb, above all i asume all of u know that ignite is core on shaco
