Introduction

This is my first guide so feel free to give me negative or positive feedback in how to make the guide better.This is my way on playing AD Shaco on Twisted Treeline.

My Way Of Playing Shaco

For me I like to lane with shaco more then I like to jungle with him, but feel free to jungle when you have pushed your minion way to their turret,but if they are MIA you don't want to risk a gank. I would rather jungle in 5v5 due to that their is no blue buff in 3v3 and that the map in 3v3 is much smaller.

2 Builds explaination

First build I like to call the Parrley Shaco great damage and pretty tank.
Second build is called the tank killer Shaco.

More explanation in a new update.

Summoner Spells

The Main Summoner Spells:

Exhaust - slows attack speed, movement speed, cuts damage, great against ad carries or for tower diving enemies I would usually get every game except if you are planning to get ghost instead.

Ignite - This gets me tons of kills and usually I can KS(Kill Steal or in other words Kill Secured) with this spell if you stack it on someone else's ignite or they are running away with low health I 99% time get this unless I would get Exhaust and ghost if you don't have the level for it yet.

The Good Summoner Spells -
Flash - Even though you already have a flash which is basically your deceive this could save you or catch up to the enemy if deceive is still on cooldown or get it for the level 1 gank it could save you from dying to first blood.

Ghost - Get this if your not high enough to get flash or ignite. Helps catch up although usually Shaco already has amazing mobility after getting Boots of mobility also helps if again
deceive is on cooldown.

Smite - ONLY if you are jungling in 5v5[.

Heal - Ok this is this almost got knock down to the never use summoner spells, but I thought I would include this first of all usually support champions are suppose to get it, but I've seen many people use it from ap casters to ad carries to tanks. So if you are planning to get this I would switch exhaust out because ignite is really important to Kill securing.

The NEVER get Summoner Spells:
Clarity - If your running that low on mana you are probably spamming your abilites, if you use that much mana I don't know what you are doing.

Clairvoyance - Why would you ever need this your not support and it's 3v3 your wriggle's should give you plenty of vision already.

Cleanse - It's an ok item, but the cooldown is a little high if you would need this go for basnshee veil.

Fortify - If you still have this you are hacking.

Garrison - Only get this if you are playing Dominion if you have it in 3v3 or 5v5 your hacking and this is a 3v3 guide no way you can get this unless you are hacking.

Promote - Only good for early game then a waste of money late game wouldn't get at all.

Surge - Gives you some good stats, but I think with this build you should already have enough damage.
Rally - Once again you have it you are hacking.

Revive - If you are dying that much you should surrender.

Teleport - With Shaco's great mobility I highly doubt you would need this.

Runes

I go for Armor penetration because they are the best for ad carries. Then i go for the critical chance or attack speed for those more lucky crits that do a lot more damage with Infinity Edge. However, I spam his abilities a lot so I go for some mana regen. I go for AS(Attack Speed) Quintessences or Armor penetration help me because I don't get a phantom until later in the game or I do get it, but I want the extra armor penetration.

Masteries

I go 21-0-9 i go for crit damage and chance and I go for attack speed and armor pen. Then for some more armor penetration and some early game lifesteal helps. You can go for more defensse and go 21-9-0 for more health instead for the mana regen if you think your runes can get you enough mana back.

Core Items

I start out with Doran's Blade cause I have low health at the beginning you can start with boots of speed and 2 health pots and 1 mana pot if you can manage it. Then i go for boots of mobility because of how small 3v3 is. Helps a lot when you are going to gank,but if you think you lack the attack speed feel free to go with Berserker's Greaves. Then I go with wriggles lantern to help me with lifesteal and give me that extra armor and damage and then I can take the red buff with ease do to the chance of hitting 400-500 damage per hit.infinity blade I would get this right after because with this item your crits do way more damage and it gets you a lot of ad so your decieve hits high. After that I would get a warmog due to the fact that people will start focusing you first so I get if for the health and it's good for tanking turrets, but feel free to switch this off with frozen mallet.

Situational items

Go for Phantom dancer if you want to move even faster and get that attack speed. You can go for Infinity Edge and do a lot more damage through crits but it does not go to the 250% more damage crits for decieve.
You can even go bloodthirster if you want and get stacks, however for me liking to overextend I usually don't go for it due to me sometimes making a mistake.
Guardian Angel and banshee veil is good for teams that have a lot of stuns,slows,blinds,etc and go for guardian angel if you are having a good game.
If the other team is building armor you can go for Black Cleaver and it stacks with your clone too which makes it a good item to have.
If you think your two-shiv poison's slow is not good enough I recommend you going for frozen mallet it give you decent AD and gives you 500 health which in my opinion helps a lot and it also gives the enemies that dangerous slow.
Other items you can go for is madreds bloodrazor if they got have of health.
Enemy High Health = Madred's Bloodrazor
Enemy High Armor = Black Cleaver
High ad + some lifesteal= Bloodthister
More Health + slow = Frozen Mallet
Overall awesome stats = Trinity Force
Revive after death + armor = Guardian Angel
Block enemy spell every few minutes = Banshee's Veil

Abilites Explanation

So most of his abilities are good for chasing you got slows, a sort of flash type spell, a vision ward that can fear.So now i'm going to explain in detail what they all do.
Backstab- 20% more damage if you attack opponents facing the other way or basically attacking from the back. Let's consider you are fed so they are know scared of you which their first instinct is to turn away from you and run in the opposite direction causing you to be able to catch up and do a lot of damage.

Decieve- It's your main skill that makes Shaco so strong in 3v3. However, let me explain this thoroughly so you don't misinterpret how to use it. It doesNOT stack with infinity edge and the critical damage CANNOT be increased unless by leveling up that skill. The skill is basically a very short cooldown flash it also gets you stealthed for 3.5 secs. I recommend you watch out for ganks because if you have decieve into a 2v1 which you being the 1 and they are stronger you have no way to escape for about 11seconds so use it wisely. I think also that it applies to backstab giving that extra 20% damage correct me if i'm wrong,but if it applies then just let's say stalk them until you catch up and do that crazy amount of damage.
Jack In The Box- This is like your peanut butter and jelly for your sandwich. It helps you gain vision to help you and your teammates know where the enemies location sometimes maybe. It also helps fear nearby enemies for 0.5/0.75/1/1.25/1.5 seconds in a 300 range radius. That half a second to 1 and half second you can kill them easily,but since I use it more for vision and setting up ganks I really don't need the extra fear so I leave it at level 1 at max it last. To use this spell for more important uses which I usually do is to try to interpret where the enemies are going to try to escape and place on there so to stall them for me to catch up and get a kill.

Two-Shiv poison- This is what makes Shaco a good stalker/good chaser. It gives you that slow on passive so each time you auto attack the enemy they are slowed 20-30% for 2 seconds giving you time to hit them again to keep slowing them. I recommend to not use the active until they use flash or ghost because it will get rid of it's passive which slows it and you would have to wait 8 seconds until it's available again.

Hallucinate- This is your ult duplicates yourself making you have 2 clones, but deals half damage to towers, half damage to enemies, and receive 50% more damage. I don't recommend using it for escape because since it has a pretty long cooldown and let's say you are wearing a buff then it wouldn't help you in any way because the clone doesn't get that buff so you stand out or you use sheen but your clone doesn't get sheen either so it's obvious.It could help you with Karthus' Ult which you can use right at the right time and making aim it at your clone instead. Although, with all that negative stuff it can help in 1v1 team fights. Usually when you know an enemy is coming for you I usually go Hallucinate and then I immediately go deceive so the enemy uses all their abilities on my clone and then I can grab an easier kill. Also helps you taking down those towers even though it does less damage it helps. Stack likes Black Cleaver stacks with your clone too so he can deal extra damage too. You can control your clone to for tower diving your enemies which all you have to do is HOLD ALT+RIGHT CLICK

Skill Sequence

I go for jack in the box at level 1 for first blood and for early vision. Then I go straight for decieve and I max out first then I max two-shiv. I go for decieve for it's outrageous damage early game with crits.This is how I usually level my skills.

Summoner Spells

I go for exhaust and ignite. For the extra slow or for that Tryndamere hitting super high crits. Also the ignite for them getting away with low health just ignite and boom they are dead.

Pros / Cons

Pros

-Great Mobility
-High Damage
-Can Fear Champions that run into bushes
-Stealth for a short period
-Ganking is easy
-Awesome Ult
-Can destroy towers with ult fast

Cons

-wards and oracles will screw you up
-Squishy overall
-Item dependent

Team Work

*IMPORTANT*
To get lot's of kills you must work with your teammates on who to gank. I usually like going bot cause I can deceive over the Red Buff Wall and outnumber the other top player fast and end up getting kills or assist. I think you should gank right when you have push your minions to their tower and setup to gank top.

Why not jungle?

Why not jungle? Well for this specific reason, for 3v3 the map is much smaller and if you are out of lane your laning partner or at top will be disadvantaged making it harder for your team to push the minion waves so if i would to jungle first y should push the minion wave to give you time to jungle.

Warding/Oracles

Warding you should be able to handle when you get your wriggles you can either ward dragon with it or ward red buff with it whichever you want,but make sure you at least ward the other one with a jack in the box at all times. Oracles/Vision Wards are a pain in the neck they disable shaco's stealth so you can't creep up to the enemy. I would go for an oracle if you think that they have some vision wards so you can easily destroy those and if they have an oracle hopefully your team can help you gank that person.

Which Walls are Decievable?

Here is a picture which walls you can decieve over:
Red are the important ones, one is for decieving over to gank top or bot, and the other is to decieve over to check on dragon or chasing enemies.There are probably more.

Videos of examples

this video shows me dodging Karthus ultimate with my ulitmate.

Tips & Tricks

So for Shaco he has his deceive which is probably his ability since your going to max it out first. Their are some tricks you can do with deceive when you are running away. My favorite way is to deceive directly behind the champion chasing me. Usually when an enemy chases you he most likely thinks your going to had towards your base, but if you deceive behind him/her 95% of the time they won't know where you are. Another tip is if the other team has an oracle you want to kill that person because he/she will see you while you are deceived and be able to kill your wriggle's ward so you should ask your teammates to gank that person. Also since you are an assassin do not start a team fight you want your tank to go in then you come in secretly because usually their spells are on cooldown and they won't be able to fend of you with the most damage. Only go in first after you got your warmog's armor.
