Ok so I just bought Shaco, I'm a pretty decent player with my main kat, but I am just getting completely roflstomped as Shaco. I have NO idea what to, I get outlaned like crazy, I can't do any damage, and all my kills have been accidental KS. Im really lost here :S Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction, any help would be appreciated! ^^

Shaco's pretty terrible in lane (unless maybe you do some Blitzcrank + Shaco bush camping combo and they keep falling for it), and also fairly hard to play.

Can't really help you much though since I've never played him myself. :P

I never played Shaco, but in a video commentary the guy said that to handle Shaco very well you must think like an insane terrorist.

I think he meant that a good Shaco will be EVERYWHERE on the map.

Yep.
AD Shaco's boxes are used for wards. Him himself is used for backdooring.
AP Shaco's boxes are used for killing everything! Him himself is used for laying them.

Your job is just to make the other team 100% paranoid, 100% of the time.

Refund your IP sounds about the right direction....

Shaco has a high skill cap, but his skill set isn't going to do you any favors. He's a squishy assassin. Champs that do his job better? Talon/Akali instantly come to mind.

U can always try and watch replays, or from what ive seen, a lot of shacos jungle and come out for the kills. one thing i saw was instantly box the blue buff constantly then kill it for the buff and start jungling. so either look up replays or look up jungle guides for him. Thats my suggestion anyways.

Click +Rep if you thought I was helpful please! Also check out my Ryze build!
I will Ryze to the occasion... hur hur

Refund your IP asap. :)

Shaco's one of the worst champions in the game.

There's your problem!

Shaco's a jungler, through and through. If he's good he can destroy an enemy jungler and his ganks are some of the best in the game.

Oh, and he's also really hard to play. Practice makes perfect!

Shaco is:

a) A Jungler. That means you should be jungling with him, although laning is possible as AP Shaco.

b) Very hard to play. He is very squishy and is hard to place in a teamfight unless he's really fed.


For further information regarding Shaco, I recommend you to take a look at our high rated Shaco guides, they are pretty good.
Please try jungling in a custom before you go in a "real" game.
