Not Updated For Current Season

Thresh isn't a big deal, if your ADC is consistently getting hooked run into him on purpose to make him hook you, since you can escape so easily with Q.
Swain
My go to ban, since this champion can be played effectively on any position besides Jungle.
Annie
Watch out for Tibbers and you should be fine.
Lux
Make her focus you with Q's, so your ADC can farm while you are playing mind games.
Karma
Played maybe 3 games against this champ, but I'd say bait as much as you can, as with any other matchup.
Yuumi
She can be a pain, but, if you bait her ADC in 2-3 boxes there's nothing she can do.
Blitzcrank
Fairly easy matchup that works in your favour. If he hooks you just Q away.
Bard
Bard shouldn't be too much of a problem either.
Rakan
Rakan is tricky. You rarely see them, but when you see a Rakan chances are he one tricks. Just ignore him. He has so much mobility it's hard to keep up. Focus the ADC and tell your ADC to play safe, attack on level 6 with your clone.
Janna
Fairly minor.
Anivia
This is the Emperor of the mage supports, try to not get hit by Q, if they all in and Anivia throws a wall your ADC is probably done for, try to ult and tank the damage with the ult to let your ADC escape.
Ahri
An Off meta pick that is stupidly good. Honestly. You don't have to hit your charm at all, and you have high mobility with ult. You don't see this often, but when you do, be careful.
Galio
Another tanky support, if he tries to engage make him tank your boxes. If he can land his abilities frequently tell your ADC to play safe and ask for ganks.
Morgana
Morgana is bad for someone who doesn't have mobility, like Thresh, imo, but for you she's not even scary. She's gonna miss her Q on you and even if she hits you are invisible and you land on a different location.
Leona
Hard engage support, she's gonna look for an all in on level 2, so I advise taking W first level and Q second, try to make her all in you and just escape, leaving your ADC unharmed.
Pyke
He's probably gonna look for an early engage, but as a hook support he really shouldn't be a problem, again, make him focus you.
Pantheon
This guy can be tricky. Pantheon isn't as good of a support he used to be, but he can mess you up with his W. He's mostly gonna take PTA, and he can proc it with W - Q - auto.
Kog'Maw
If the enemy plays Tank'Maw, good thing would be to dodge. This is the funniest build since the tank meta in 2017.
Jhin
Jhin is an ideal ADC for Shaco. With his W he can root enemies that get into your boxes, and overall is an amazing adc to have on any team.
Tristana
Tristana is in a good position right now, if she can follow up on your boxes (Which most of the time she can't), she's a strong pick.
Caitlyn
I haven't played with Caitlyn that much, but I believe her trap and your boxes can be a deadly combo.
Swain
Swain is so good with anyone these days, his E is amazing, his W is free vision and slow, and his Q can deal a lot of damage. A perfect support that can be played as an ADC, Top, Mid without a problem.
Aphelios
Amazingly hard champion, if you are lucky enough to get a skilled player you can dominate
Ashe
Ezreal
Ezreal is, in my opinion, the worst ADC to play with Shaco. You don't synergize at all.
Samira
Kalista

Ashe
Ezreal
Ezreal is, in my opinion, the worst ADC to play with Shaco. You don't synergize at all.
In the early game you need to play passively since you don't have your ult yet, your W has a long cooldown and you don't have a lot of mana. Usually, you can solo leash your jungler with 2 boxes on the buff, one box just outside of gromp reach (if blue is bot side). If you start on the side where red is botside, 2 boxes on buff, and save the box you used for gromp to put into a bush at lane.
Mid Game
In the Mid game you have to spam boxes on mid, and bait as much as you can. Try to take damage on purpose, surround yourself with boxes and watch the enemies try and catch you while they get feared, you Q away and your team gets free gold.
Late Game
You fall off in the late game, since your damage isn't ideal anymore. You can still fear and bait, so do that as much as you can. If you are contesting baron or dragon, put boxes around the points where the enemies can enter and steal, so that they dont do that. You have to see what they have in the enemy team and play accordingly.
Bonus tip
I do not reccomend you play this in ranked. I tried it and got absolutely destroyed, which is partly the reason I stopped with ranked on this account. In normals I have 63% winrate with this exact build, I played over 200 games, and in low elo i'd say it's viable. However, most people won't know how to follow up on your boxes and will just afk farm the whole game. If that happens, try to roam. Thanks for reading!
