Okay but let's say you get 3 dragons. You get a gold lead. You get 10 kills and don't die once.

And you go to push towers.

Your opponents have Cho, Karthus, Kogmaw, Sona, and GP.

How will you ever push? All of those champions are good all game. They clear minion waves easily. Shaco contributes absolutely nothing to a push. He'll be next to useless even with Baron in a push against that team on their turrets.

That's why he sucks. He can potentially make 4 of your team members stronger, but he himself will cap out and reach a certain point where yeap, he will always still be Shaco and be useless in a push.

Meaning if you start to lose vrs Shaco, making a comeback is easy. Just turtle and farm gear. Naturally overpower the useless champion, GG.

If your allies get early kills in lanes (because of your ganks) and they continue to pretty much dominate that lane, your team will be significantly stronger than the enemy team. Shaco himself is not the best at pushing, but that doesn't mean you won't be able to take anything down does it? At the very least you will have complete control over dragons and Barons since the enemy team can't engage a 5 v 5 fight until very late in the game when they've 'turtled and farmed'.

All of the champions you name are good but still significantly weaker than Shaco's allies who have been fed.
It is possible for a Shaco to decide a game, that's all :P

If he was giving his teammates the kills though, That would just make him weaker. And even more useless later on and if he doesn't give them the kills, then they aren't getting fed :o.

Hmm well to be honest it doesn't matter much who gets the kill. My point is that ganking and killing someone early in a solo lane will often make it much harder for that champion to recover and still be as strong as his opponent in lane.
That's the sort of dominance that allows your allies to potentially get more kills or simply outfarm their enemy laner heavily.

With that being said I guess Shaco needs to gank lanes and effectively counterjungle the enemy jungler to make up for his bad late game, kind of a daunting task @.@

The strength of ganking someone and killing them is not entirely in the gold, it's also in your opponent losing EXP and farm.

^ Did I say it's only about the amount of gold you earn with early ganks? If so then that was not what I meant :P

About your specific team comp: although good splitpushing could still cost that team turrets, my point was not that Shaco is a brilliant champion. That team is obviously stronger than a team containing Shaco, all I said was that I have seen Shaco's perform well lately and that he can decide a match (against other setups lol).

Overall he's a 'meh' champ and not a competitive pick at all.

I think I'm gonna go make a smurf account buy shaco on it, and do exactly that duff.

Trick all them little ones into thinking he's awesome.
