Welcome to yet another shaco guide, tho this isn't your average shaco guide, this is a GODLIKE one.

Shaco - rage quit maker Jungler, Assassin Synergy: Works well with cc champs, as his fear isn't much reliable when you gank. Jungler ganking potential: One of the best, but you need your ally to either root, charm or stun to be relatively effective. Speciality: Ur a ****ing pain in the *** for your ennemies, what do u need more? Explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfN4u7LZTjo

Pros

+ Great gank potential with Two-Shiv Poison. + Can shut an adc down quite easily in late, mostly by using Deceive. + Greatest escapes. + Can counter jungle his opponent very easily.

Shaco is very fun to play, you got a great early game to kick things off, great ganking and counter-jungling potential. U also have jukes for days, which allows you to make ballzy moves quite often. Also, by playing shaco, you get the feeling of being the king of the jungle, at least that's what your ennemies says when they are getting shut down for the 4th time...

Cons

+ Once behind, its tough ti get back in the game, and since you won't have a lot of damage, your ganks will be weak. + Relatively useless in team fights. + Some guys like xin xhao get the average on you in lategame. + Vulnerable to cc once the q on cooldown.

Shaco's main problem is that while a lot of champions become monsters late game (hi xin), he is getting weaker, and if you cant assasinate your target in the first seconds of the fight, then you will basically die being useless, so use your abilities with intelligence.

Code:
Skilling Order

---

BACKSTAB
// Shaco deals 20% bonus damage when striking an enemy from behind with his basic attacks or Two-Shiv Poison.
// Always initiate fights by stabbing your ennemies in the back, don't be afraid to be a coward!
DECEIVE
// Shaco instantly blinks to the target location and stealths for up to 3.5 seconds, also causing his next basic attack within 6 seconds to critically strike for bonus critical damage.
// Ok so this is my favourite shaco ability. U can troll so much with it. Especially when you find yourself against blitzcank or tresh, whose grabs won't be effective at all against you when you pop this ability. U understood it, this is a great dodging and escaping tool, but it also gives a huge amount of damage for the next basic atatck. This is why this ability is very important to rapidly shut carries down (this ability will mostly put the ennemy mid life on the first auto-attack). Combined with crits items and passive, it's possible to one shot squishy ennemies like Veigar, Syndra.
JACK IN THE BOX
// Shaco summons a box at the target location that stealths after a 2-second delay and lasts for up to 60 seconds. If an enemy passes by, it opens and causes surrounding enemies to turn and flee while it attacks nearby enemies for up to 5 seconds.
// The position of these boxes is vital. U can esaily trade, escape someone with the flee giving by Jack In The Box. This ability helps you clearing your very first jungle camp quickly and withput taking a lot of damage. But unlike AP shaco, only the flee is interesting when you are fighting, because it only scales with AP, and we are building AD of course...
TWO-SHIV POISON
// Shaco passively slows his target and deals him extra damage, and blinds the monster every 5 attacks.
// This is mostly to slow or execute an opponent while you are chasing him, but it is also a good harass tool. The passive is also very helpful at lvl 3-6 while clearing your jungle.
HALLUCINATE
// Shaco vanishes for 0.5 seconds, then creates a clone of himself that lives for up to 18 seconds and explodes upon its death, dealing magic damage to all enemies around it.
// This is THE ability that u shall not miss. If u dive and kill someone under tower and u are one tower shot away from dying, pop this ability right before the tower hits you, and it will not hurt you. If u are running away, chasing, fighting someone with some kind of deadly cc ( Light Binding ), pop this ability just before it hits u, and u will be able to escape this cc...

What else?

Shaco's core.

Lethality is really something you should abuse right now, therefore this item is really rally important for you.

Great overall item, although a bit out of date right now, not as good as it used to be (to be honest i don't use it anymore).

Balanced between AD and MR, makes you a bit less squishy and also gives you some AD.

Ninja Tabi gives more armor, obviously, which is great to fight the ennemy adc! You can also trade them for Mercury's Treads if the ennemy team has a lot of CC.

Black Cleaver gives you HP, damage and attack speed on hit effect, which is great. It's one of the strongest items right now according to this build, so you should definitely take it.

This kinda new item scales the best with shaco, why? BECAUSE IT PROCS ITS PASSIVE TWICE! When you use your ultimate, and hit the same target you and your clone, you will proc Duskblade of Draktharr 's passive respectively one after the other!! Isnt it huge? You can do the same with Leblanc, but this item fits ad assassins, so sry lb.

When you play assassin shaco, you wanna be as aggressive as you can, therefore you will gank and counter jungle a LOT, and the slow and dmage given by this jungle item makes it the best for this purpose.

This item suits shaco perfectly in every situation. It has a decent life steal, the active is very useful in 1v1 trades and the passive makes you clear your camps faster. This is defenitly better than Titanic Hydra

Now ok you may prefer Statikk Shiv, just for its passive but lets be honest this item is like an improved Statikk Shiv without passive. And the bonus movemnt speed scales perfectly with Deceive, this is why i prefer this item.

Crit? Damage? Aggressive? Don't hesitate and buy this item that will increase your chances of killing a Veigar before he even had the chance of pressing Primordial Burst

I think this item is perfect for an assassin shaco build, because with this build you are extremely squishy and you won't last long in team fights if you don't take the right decisions immediatly, which is very hard to do. This item gives you a chance to at least shut down a carry, and then let the rest of your team do the rest while Guardian Angel's passive is on display. It's just sad that its cooldown is very very very long...

Take these boots because in this build the attack speed is important (more than in the other one), which is why you will prefer those boots, that will make you a mid laner and adc squash machine.

Your role playing shaco will be to feed yourself and your lanes as quickly as possible, and if you do so i recommand you to go with the assassin shaco build. Otherwise if you don't, take the bruiser one, and you will still be able to make the ennemy carries lifes a living hell.

I recommand you to start at your RED BUFF alone, and then go to ennemies blue, place where YOU WILL have or steal the ennemy's blue buff and even make a first blood if the ennemy jungler started blue buff.
Then smite the wolves in the ennemy jungle, and go back to yours, where you will alternate ganks (as much as possible) and farm, to not fall behind.

When playing shaco in a ranked game, ull have to clear your red buff as soon as possible, and then try to counter jungle the ennemy's blue buff. Try to give kills to your carries and not to yourself because they will be more important than you in team fights...you are a great assassin, but that's about it in late game. Now with the previous assassins rework, Shaco is more balanced in the game than he used to be, you might need to put more points in decieve early on since its a really bad ability at ranks 1 & 2.

So this was my shaco guide, please leave a comment so i can know what was right and wrong with my guide, because again, it's my first one, bye!
