There are already some posts stating that this guide is a troll, yet it has 5 positive votes. I see a number of things that scare me as a Shaco player, and as one reading a guide intended for people learning how to play him effectively. I'm going to vote down, and I'd like to explain why. These suggestions are not meant to be offensive, rather to motivate you to rework some of this so it can be an effective guide for current Shaco players and newbies alike.

1) Readable (or not, in this case)



Please read this "sentence" out loud to yourself. On top of it being difficult, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make :(

2) Items

Items like and are the reason people accuse Shaco of being a poor late-game champion. If you build him early with lackluster items, he will be lackluster at the end. Additionally, you begin many of your item descriptions with "i wouldn't normally..." or "This item isn't really useful..." - If they aren't great, why are you putting them in the build?! Lastly,



This last is particularly scary. Up to this point the only survivability you've built is lifesteal and spell vamp, while stacking AD. IE will allow you to burst for a milisecond and then instantly die. Also sadly, Hallucinate is largely useless as a decoy against competent players.

3) Skills and Summoners

You state that Deceive is the most important, and then say that Two-Shiv is equally important. :( Your explanation of actually explains less than the tooltip itself. I'm just not sure what will actually be gained from reading your skills description. If you have nothing new to add on the subject, why add the section?

While Exhaust and Ignite is a great recipe for early game first blood, it will gimp you late game. Given that the guide seems to be implying a Lane Shaco, Flash is a must. I know that we have one built in, but it seals the deal and allows for kills/escapes you can't get otherwise.

4) Early and Mid-Game

I disagree outright - Shaco has terrific damage early game. Deceive (100% crit) plus the Backstab passive gives him one of the nastiest opening consistent damage in the game.

Being an Assassin also implies that you can survive after getting those kills (ideally). Your guide has few, if any, items that will allow you to jump in, do significant damage, and leave. Most often, squish Shaco guides will result in an instant death the moment you show your face in a teamfight (decoy or not).

5) Maps

I hear you with Twisted Treeline being an ideal map for Shaco, but your guide just isn't designed for it. The games tend to be shorter, and the chance that you will actually finish PD, Hextech, IE, and TriForce in a 3v3 game is very low.

Conclusion:

If this guide is a troll, so be it, but these are just a few of the issues that should really be addressed.

All the best,

The reason why i chose those runes is because....Shaco [when not playing against stealth players [check the last chapter]] needs alot of Critical Strike..because of his Deceive and a lot of armor penetration and attack damage to finish off his oponents quickly...Shaco is originally an AP champion [champion who uses Abblities [AP = Abbility Power] so some runes should have in my opinion +abbility power because Shaco's abbilities play a very important role for him

Infinity Edge : With this item Shaco can officially participate in team fights and gain a lot of kills...with this you could probably go against 2 champions with your Hallucinate..kill one and scare away the other
