AD Shaco?

[quote=BWalma]I am still new to league of legends, Shaco, one of my favorite champions I seem to split going down my build. Now I normally do dominion but my build for AD and AP seem to work pretty much the same with some minor tweaks to them. So I was wondering is an AD Shaco bad or good? Do most people use an AP Shaco? The only reason why I ask is because I realize Shaco is like squishy as hell and when you use two shift poison when your an AP Shaco mid game you dish out tons of damage with the first hit and then you let the remaining one of your teammates to finish them out. So you are not directly in the fight so you don't get targetd easily, When I am playing AD Shaco he still very powerful but you have to get in very close. And since you don't have the range and damage output from two shift poison it's hard to last in team fights. Especially when your playing decent leveled people and know to target Shaco first since he does crazy damage but dies like in two hits. Here is what my gameplay style is when I am playing AD Shaco: I normally start off with boots of mobility to get around the map. Max out deceive as fast as a I can do crazy crital attack Then I get increased attack speed to finish them off. However, in team fights I just die very quickly no matter what I can even really help since my only ranged attack does such little da,age unless I can slow down an enemy When I am playing AP Shaco: I believe I get sorcers boots but I am not entirely sure whatever grants increase ability power I think Then max out two shift poison ASAP. Them mid game my ability power is nigh enough I am doing a third or sometimes half of a champ HP. However 85% of the time I cannot finish them off without another hero and that's if it's a 1 on 1. However, this allows me to be more effecting team fights. I seemed to be very lost on what to do as Shaco, I could try to do a mix build but then he does only so average damage and I in classic mode at least I rarely get kills a lot of assists but not many kills and no I don't die that frequently either :)[/quote]

[quote=childofthegrave]AP Shaco is alright on Dominion, but AD/Jungle Shaco is were its at on SR. AP Shaco is pretty terrible on SR, unless you have a Blitzcrank or Urgot in your lane, or you opponents are really stupid and just walk into your box nests.[/quote]

[quote=BWalma]Oh okay, but what is Shaco when in the circumstances in SR when he is AD do in big team fights if he cannot get in there and actually do damage before tying in .02 seconds ?[/quote]

[quote=childofthegrave]I think AP Shaco is alot more useless in teamfights than AD Shaco, you only have one ability that does good magic damage and boxes are useless unless you plant them somewhere. AD Shaco can at least destroy squishies if fed.[/quote]

[quote=example1013]AP shaco can pretty much just deceive out of the jungle to burst down fleeing squishies, and that's about it. the box change has made them a little helpful to place in fights, but AP shaco is still really easily countered by just not being a scrub and face-checking bushes. This is coming off a match earlier today where I was laning with Twitch on Ashe against Shaco and Alistar and Twitch gave up 3 or 4 kills before 10 minutes, and the game ended with me 17/3/14.[/quote]
