You will only ever lose to amumu if you dont counter gank him or you let him scale to 4 items.
Use AP runes and build for this.
Bel'Veth
I've come to slowly hate fighting Bel purely from the fact her dmg reduction is insane, if you can time your stuff with her reduction on cooldown, you will win. If she is good and saves it for you, wait for teamfights.
Bruiser (Tank Oriented) is good.
Blitzcrank
Never in my life I thought i'd see blitz jung apart from drunk clash games.
Invade him early but only fight when he's on a buff, he can win most 1v1's early but his main weakness is clearing overall, you stall that, you win. Keep in mind he will always be useful due to his hook so you cant really put him out of the game, so just try snowball lanes.
AD (no Mythic) is good here
Diana
This champ can be a pain due to the sunfire demonic combo but you can dodge her ult with yours, keep her out of team fights with your boxes and never actually touch her. She will always be more useful than you unless you are really ahead or play it slow.
AP is good here.
Dr. Mundo
You will rarely see this champ in jung tbh, he will always be low in his jung so perma invade him, he can't really fight back until he gets sunfiire.
Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) is good.
Ekko
This matchup is more skillbased, if you can lead him into your boxes, he cant do anything but if you mess up or mistime anything, he will delete you. You want to invade him on his second buff.
AP is good here since he cant build good MR.
Elise
Pray. If the Elise is good, there is no hope for you unless you jungle vertically as she will perma invade you, if she gets a kill on you early, you might aswell spam gank with hope or ff.
AP to always be useful when behind here.
Fiddlesticks
This champ is not so bad tbh, his W can reveal you so be careful of that but most of the time you want to counter gank him, he has faster clear than you so you cant really play to scale as his team fighting is better also. If you notice the enemy laners hugging a wall when he's 6, rush there and be ready to engage after he does, you can clean him up easily.
AD (Mythic) because prowlers helps you stick to him.
Gragas
You can dodge everything from this champion easily, he is one of the easiest jung matchups for Shaco due to you being able to do anything he does but better.
Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) is good.
Graves
I will be putting risk factor at 5 because if the Graves is good, he will thrash you, people think he's weak early but he can do so much early. Dont be afraid to all in him early but be wary of his armour stacks, he can get up to 30 armour level 1 so wait for that to go. You can invade him early due to his alright clear, soon as he backs once just spam gank and hope he isnt there.
Bruiser (Tank Oriented) is good.
Hecarim
Hecarim in its prime will beat you early/mid game but once you reach the edge of mid game, you will outscale him unless your comp is full AP, play to outscale and your team doesnt run it.
AP is good here.
Evelynn
You can spam invade this champ early and she has to give up everything or die. Late game just box any entrance she might come from and hope she reveals herself on a box, you beat her at all stages. Use Q soon as her charm is finished not as its charging.
AP is good here.
Ivern
if he has another enchanter on his team, he can be quite annoying but overall in this meta with tank supports, he will be the lone enchanter. If he isnt shield stacking with another enchanter you will win teamfights.
AP is good here.
Jarvan IV
If the J4 is good, you will never be able to match him due to his early potential but most jarvans just 3 camp into a gank so ping your team to be careful, invade him and take it all. If he is full clearing, he is not playing jarvan.
AP is good here due to boxes to zone.
Jax
No one plays jax jungle.
Karthus
this champ is a farm machine, he will always be ahead in cs, he can also easily double camp. If you get vision of him early, invade him, if you get a kill on him, repeat invade him. If you dont, spam gank a lane because he will be trying to scale.
Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) is good.
Kayn
A good kayn will be a pain but you can just go utility and keep him away from your team in fights, if he has his form before you have liandries never counter gank him.
AP is good here due to zoning.
Kha'Zix
I find Khazix is useless as hell into tanks, even with the bruiser kha build he cant really beat you. He can only beat you if he gets really fed off a certain lane. If you go AD you cant beat him in a 1v1 but if you go AP or Tank, he cant really do much to you, I prefer tank to zone him in fights.
Bruiser (Tank Oriented) is good.
Kindred
Ever since her stack update meaning its a game of cat and mouse but faster, you cant reliably stop her from stacking but what you can do is invade her early, she has somewhat a health clear early so keep that in mind and try aim to invade her on buffs. She can kite you if she's good which is why you need the magnetism of buffs so wont easily give it up.
I prefer AP when dealing with Kindred because AP shaco can outscale a kindred if you time your ult correctly and have proper box placement.
AP is good here.
Lee Sin
This is a said counterpick but its purely down to the Lee sins skill. So in all its a skillmatchup favouring Lee early. Be careful of his invades so buy a pink early or get your team to ward river at 1:30.
With AP you can outscale him at 15 minutes usually even if he has Maw. Use your boxes to deny his q and stop any insecs in teamfights.
AP is preferred here but AD works too.
Lillia
Dussy go brrrr.
She can be a huge threat to you due to her build and passive constantly dotting you in fights, you can dodge her sleep with your ult if you use it before the projectile hits you (yes her ult is a projectile which can be blocked by Yasuo wall)
She will always perform better in teamfights than you but you can zone her from any objective using boxes really.
AP is good here but it's lillia favoured.
Maokai
I havent been against this much so I will update this later on.
Master Yi
Any build on shaco will beat this champ, you counter him for a reason.
Your box fear while he's ulting makes him run to mars, you time his q with your ult, you can zone him easily. If he uses meditaton just put a box below him and wait it out, he's not going anywhere.
AP is preferred here.
Mordekaiser
I havent been against Morde jung much so if that becomes meta, I will update this.
Nidalee
In lower elos this should'nt really do anything to you. In higher elo where she knows to invade you, you better stay away from her unless youre in her jungle with ignite, she will beat you most of the time early game but you can outscale her with AP.
AP is good here due to box zoning and boxes blocking her spears.
Nocturne
This matchup is odd. Nocturne has 2 main builds, lethal tempo with lethality or lethal tempo with onhit stridebreaker. If the Noc goes on hit lethal tempo, go AP and play out the fights, if he has gone lethal tempo with lethality, go Bruiser (Tank Oriented)
Bruiser (Tank Oriented) is preferred.
Nunu & Willump
He will spam gank, clear objectives and clear faster than you. The only way you are ever beating a nunu is if you play for a lane he's not ganking or you counter gank and he oversteps. You cant really invade him so play for counterganks.
Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) is good.
Olaf
Go AP and just box him, never actually get close to him unless its to ult and walk away. He will beat you in melee at all stages whereas AP wont zone him but he'll take more damage and you can still zone his team.
AP is good here.
Poppy
You will beat this champ at 10 minutes with Lost chapter and tier1 boots, they will call you skilless and move on. literally just zone her from fights with boxes and move on.
AP is good here.
Rammus
Rammus is one of those champs you'd think you wanna go AP for but they changed him to scale with MR too, so if you want to beat him, I've learnt to go Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) because he'll charm you and lose tonnes of stats.
Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) is good here but AP can be useful too.
Rek'Sai
This one is a plague for Shaco, avoid it early, give buffs if you have to. Just stay alive, she's basically an Alien from AvP. You will outscale her with AP even if she has a spellshield from EoN.
AP is good here.
Rengar
Rengar can be a pain if he invades you and you're utterly clueless about it but you can go AP with the option of Zhonyas second if you feel like your ult takes too long to dodge his ult. Most of the time with AP Shaco, Rengar can't enter fights due to your box spam, even with inbuilt qss boxes are too much for him.
I dislike AD into rengar purely because if you burst him down to 20% within a second, he can heal it all instantly with empowered W.
So AP allows for longer fights meaning he'll heal less.
AP is great here.
Sejuani
She's played more top these days but if you play into sej just play normally but use the Bruiser build.
Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) is good.
Shaco
Play ranked you clown.
Shyvana
Force fights early, you can't outscale a really good shyvanna but she can't outgank a Shaco unless your laners are 4 Yuumi's which i doubt. When ahead from ganking force dragons, she can take them really easily so you always want them off the map.
Bruiser (Tank Oriented) is good here.
Skarner
Skarner is good in the right hands but overall any build will be fine into him, just spam gank and force teamfights, if he is always going for you, try to ult as he ults, it'll put his ult on cooldown.
Any build is fine here.
Talon
This champ is a pain for me if played right but overall, you want to outscale him if possible. He will be getting kills in lanes you cant really stop him if you aint to scale, you can try counter gank but be prepared you might lose the flip.
AP is good into him due to Zhonyas when he ults/Passive stacked.
Trundle
Go full AP, he wont be able to enter fights really, even with mercs. Ask your team if you can be solo AP due to the fact you dont want him stacking too much MR.
AP is great here.
Udyr
This champ is still new and too coinflip for me to advise about him, havent faced a consistent udyr player since the rework.
Go with what you prefer.
Vi
With Vi you want to make her ult you in fights then ult as she's about to arrive, this will put her in the middle of your boxes/team without taking any damage. If she ults someone else, box them immediately or atleast behind them.
AP is great here.
Viego
most Viegos still go the divine build so it's whatever really, he excels in 1v1's and teamfights but not really 2v1's so try invade him early and get a lead, if not spam gank and farm until 6 then dont be scared to invade him again.
AD (No Mythic) Is great here.
Warwick
literally only go AP into warwick, it's unplayable for him. I love going antihealing orb after Liandries when fighting a warwick (Yes you have ignite but it's not always up vs Warwick)
AP is great here.
Wukong
Monkey gets armour from passive, you go AP, monkey dies.
AP is great here.
Zac
In the right hands, Zac can be a monster for Shaco to deal with so try to spam counter gank because once he is 3, he will spam gank himself until he gets sunfire.
You can outscale him with the Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) build only if you get mercs with it too.
Bruiser (Fighter Oriented) is good here.
Zed
Skill matchup really, whoever ults first loses. He cant invade you safely and you can't invade him safely due to his strong passive.
It's best to spam gank and ignore him until you get ahead.
Any build is fine here since you can dodge his ult with yours.
Orianna
If you have an Ori, she will put the ball on your, it will go invisible and you will enable a 5 man shockwave while you go to town on the enemies.
Zilean
Great champ to have on your team when you are AD purely for the running down enemies aspect, taking ghost with a Zilean is also great.
OH and the fact he's a personal GA.
Yuumi
Parasite go Brrrrr
Braum
This is alright, if he lands a Q or auto, you can instantly stack his passive with AD Shaco.
Vladimir
If he ults a team before your ult goes off, it will do 20% bonus damage which is amazing on AP Shaco.
Teemo
I'll use this as a reason for Jhin too, more traps = more usage of sweepers that arent being used on your boxes.
Jhin
Look at Teemo notes.
Shen
Invis taunt is very useful late game when catching enemies.

This is a guide on Shaco by someone who has played Shaco since season 6, it may not be as long as other Shaco OTP's but I feel like im somewhat decent with having 3 accounts in D1 last year and 1 this year. I know it's not GM or Masters but I am aiming for 200lp Masters by the end of this season.
This is a guide purely for people who are 2k games stuck in D4 or people playing in lower elos.
I will be updating this guide in time with more depth and actual explanations whereas right now I just wanted to put up items, runes with details about them.
In the champ matchups it will say my preffered reasoning on how to fight the champ (most of them) and which build i prefer. Feel free to take any of my reasoning and ignore it if you want, this is only advice.
