Hi, well I've only been playing league for a few weeks and have bounce between different types of people, different builds and different strategies.

After a while i took a risk and used all my I.P on Shaco, hoping i would be able to use him. now at first i struggled, the builds already up on mobafire didn't suit my aggressive play style so i started to create my own.

After a little trial and a lot of error, i came up with a reasonably simple build that will hopefully suit people of all skills and strategies.

The build starts out with a crystalline flask, so you can simply restore health and mana throughout the game whenever you may need it.

Now the reason i chose to open with deceive over jack in the box is because unlike jack in the box, deceive can be used to directly attack an enemy with the element of surprise, and can be used to escape if you ever get caught short in battle.

Now as you get more gold you go on to buy the philosophers stone to make you self sufficient on mana, so no more finding you cant use an ability due to lack of mana.

next we get shaco's speed up, so you get further when deceiving, and to get away quick get-away if you find yourself loosing to another champion.

Now from there its simple, get Shako strong. i start to focus on increasing Shaco's attack damage and ability power, while decreasing his ability's cooldown.

Now for me, this class has worked wonders, and with a few modification to my play style, i hope to go from getting 3-5-11 (my first game with Shako) up to at least 6-3-10.

I think personally that my build is well balanced until around level 10, and from there you will start becoming a little over powered, depending on how well you use and combine your ability's.
