Keep up the solid work! +1

I strongly disagree with the predator rune because is useless at mid/late game. Well the shaco's mission is to force to win at early but with the new jungle comeback xp is difficult, too situation to win an early game. The new thunderlords is pretty good pick at all times. I also goes with the sorcery path because absolute focus and sorch gives me what i need. Since you are shaco at lvl3 you ll be "forced" to gank with lvl1 Q at lane which pushes so you wont need the preditor. Preditor with give u 1 autohit more IF you run near him cause of his speed and only. I dont recommended because thunderstack with give bonus damage after 3 hits so you balance the damage early. Preditor can be stopped if you enter combat(spotted by ward and get cc or etc). if you are good shaco you dont need mobi's too. The extra speed you ll get it from ravenous hydra and from a cloud(situational) or even from statikk(if you build) I prefer the sorch damage+the focus + the thunderstack =300+- damage. enough to assasinate a carry. That path you using is near with the 7.12-7.15 Korean build without thunderlords but with the mastery stormrider

do you think the assassin shaco (duskblade youmuus rush) is more viable or this one? and why?

(20) |

It's definitely viable to play assassin Shaco (since that is the recommended build path in-game). However, I just think bruiser is a lot more reliable and more versatile. Assassin Shaco is quite bad to play as when against teams with a few tanks, and also, assassin shaco means that you are very squishy and have less durability in team fights.

Hey, I didn't see anything about the jungle item except for the starting.
Are you suggesting selling the jg item? If not, when and how should I upgrade?

(20) |

As I explained in the guide, I recommend starting with and keeping to for as long possible without upgrading it to a full jungle item. There are disadvantages with this approach as jungle items are relatively cheap and you wont receive an active smite effect. However, I think the money is better spent on building full items which Shaco really benefits from as the stats and effects will make him stronger compared to the limited stats jungle items give.

Keep on you as it gives bonus experience when killing jungle camps and grants lifesteal vs objectives including dragons and Baron Nashor (which is very helpful). Sell the whenever you're heading towards your full build and need the extra inventory space.

Good build :)

Nice guide, love the way you organized it.

Some feedback: would personally go a bit easier on the coloured text, it's a bit much imho.

Heya @ skelestus!

I was reading your cheat sheet and noticed a rather large amount of items to buy on the first recall - is that something that you normally do, wait until you have enough money to buy all those items? If not, perhaps consider breaking the purchase order up a little bit into manageable item purchases.

You mention being Platinum in the guide (having climbed from Bronze!) with Shaco and this build - I think that is incredible, awesome work! Perhaps consider verifying your League account with MobaFire so you can get the platinum title.

Why do you take those particular runes? Maybe add a sentence or two about the benefits of taking armour seals as a jungler.

You mention "backstabbing" during your jungle path. How does one backstab as Shaco? What should I do to make sure I do the most amount of damage to the jungle camp?

Are you thinking of adding a chapter about Shaco's abilities?

Great start so far :) Thanks for requesting a discussion!

TYVM for the feedback, I'll address all those issues soon

Hey skelestus,

This is great guide about . I see you have spent a lot of your time to make it so helpful and useful. But i have one question. Is it good to change with ? Because I think its good combo with Shaco's passive and I think its better but im not sure. Anyway thanks again

Honestly, it certainly isn't xD

Tri Force is a really good item for Shaco, he uses his abilities frequently which really helps him to utilise the Spellblade passive for insane damage. It also synergises with his Q to make his first auto a really strong one.

The base stats it gives is also very good. Statikk Shiv does seem okay on Shaco but it doesn't work well with the playstyle I've implemented on Bruiser Shaco. It's all up to preference at the end of the day.
