Well to be honest this is just a place holder but saying more of shaco's matchups are usually a skill matchup there is some matchups that are harder than others but if you are good you would probably stomp hard anyways its just that shaco can't duel very well unless he mega cheeses and get first hit. Oh yeah most of this is getting based off AD shaco since I played that more as AP is more reliant on how competent the enemy is.

For a low low price of having a yuumi player! You could too be a shaco player without wanting to eat tide pods every time you lock him in.

Champion Build Guide
Shaco's kit is actually extremely simple his kit isn't some extremely ******** akshan type I get shield,MS,double tap gets to win the game type of kit. Just because shaco's kit is very simple doesn't really mean its by anyway weak. In fact this champ could actually do alot and even though you provide jack to your team he could be very good into most teamcomps because he provides alot either denial of plays with AP or the playmaker with his AD.
His Passive is literally just his main damage source and kinda helps with clears. Very important on AD shaco not as important on AP shaco later on.
His Q is just flash with invis. You use this in tandem with your passive to get "huge" damage with your passive as it gives additional damage on auto. Other than that it is just your mobility tool to either let you through your mouse across the screen and then be in a safe position majority of the time. Be warned that if the enemy uses sweeper they can see you in your invis. Also in higher elos people will try to guess where you are going to be with your Q so stay unpredictable.(use jukes)
Main JG clearing tool. It is also your main damage source as AP. For AD you could use it to CC your target if they happen to step on them and then kill them. You should probably place a box at an escape path for the enemy during a gank to force a flash or make the enemy risk taking a longer time to escape. You can also block skill shots with your box EX:HOOKS, MORG Q, and even Lee Sin Q. (the last one will probably still have lee sin gap close to you but you get the point)
It slows the enemy when you use it but usually you should auto the enemy down and then E them once they are low and out of range as it does execute damage. (more damage if the enemy is low)
Also a core damage source of AP shaco. For AD shaco you could use it to "iframe" (invincibiliy frames) or dodge the enemy moves as for the brief moment that you disappear you cannot be hit by abilities which you could use to your advantage to dodge abilities. Since shaco is very squishy this is very important and needed inorder to let shaco survive a bit longer. Other than that you could just use your clone to put some psychological warfare to your opponent by having the opponent try to decide which is you. So its important that you act "natural" and sometime act the direct opposite of what they assume the real shaco is. EX: Having your clone fight while you just sit in the back. Instead you fight the enemy and have your clone sit in the back.
AD SHACO's play style
Think Shaco as a mercenary. (He is literally an assassin for hire in lore for some ****ing reason) SO I think as shaco you should only do what is paid enough or to your benefit for you as an Assassin. You want to only go for picks that would give you enough money without putting you in extreme risk as a little measly amount of money isn't worth your life. So lets say there is an ADC it would be more worth for you to for 300 Gold on the enemy ADC and then win the objective which gives you more money in retrospective after the enemy fight. Then in the same scenerio you could have killed the low bruiser but that bruiser would've left the teamfight anyways so that would have net you jack****.
AP SHACO's play style
So with AP shaco the since I don't play it as much is just to cause 2 things CHAOS (shaco could be spelled into chaos) or denial. This playstyle is made to absolutely ruin some guys day and just curb stomp the enemy's hope on trying to hit a clip on reddit. You want to find choke points or very populated areas and then fill em all with boxes. For example if dragon is going to be up. Go there in advance (50 seconds before or so) and start putting boxes at where you think the enemy will very likely need to go. (Dragon entrance,Bushes, blast cones THE ****ING RIVER) Well after you do that just simply start the dragon and watch the enemy just cry and lose all their health before the battle even start. Yeah there is more ways to utilize AP shaco but that is the basics. Eventually you will find out where is an effective box placement and then you will maybe become discount pinkward.
