Shaco the New Meta Champ .___.

[quote=Symphunny]Been seeing a hell lot of [[shaco]] in normals and in ranked and even in dominion. This has gotten me wanting to go back to playing him, and i wanna rank with him since i see a lot of shacos do really well.

[quote=Rozsud3k][[Shaco]] and [[Garen]] bush buddies tbh, I don't really feel what [[Shaco]] can bring to the team that can warrant him on one. Anyway, are you going Jungle or Lane?[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Yes just one thing to add. /suicide.[/quote]

[quote=Embracing]Lol @ Duff =P[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]AD Shaco's been substantially buffed. [[Jack in the Box]] has bigger range, so you can block off escape routes better. (They turn to run, get feared, you get easy [[Backstab]] procs.) [[Hallucinate]] procs [[Two-Shiv Poison]] now. [[Deceive]] will still let you get your critical hit if you use [[Jack in the Box]] during stealth. But "meta champ" is hardly the term for it. Shaco still needs a little something to make him more useful during team fights. The faster arming JitB change that got withdrawn might have done it. Maybe if they make his Two-Shiv poison reset on kills/assists. :P (My first thought was making Hallucinate reset on kills, but that's just silly...)[/quote]

[quote=Rozsud3k]I really don't get why they withdrawn the [[Jack in the Box]] arm time buff. Any enlightenment?[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]@Rozsud3k: Phreak, a Riot staff, specifically said that they found 1.5 seconds isn't enough time for a person to react to a Shaco coming out of stealth. Internal tests showed it to be really unfair when combined with Shaco's two-shiv slow-debuff. How do you escape from Shaco if staying to fight means you get slowed, and turning to run means you get feared, pelted at, AND THEN slowed? Answer: You don't. The cast range increase is still useful. You can put it farther back, so it has better chances of fearing your gankee when it does stealth.[/quote]

[quote=koksei]I think it`s quite useful for shaco, more range = more precise fear to cut of the ways of your enemys :) Moreover I think that Shaco is VERY viable for ranked (jungle) if you are able to play him he is just awesome :3[/quote]

[quote=Phoenix0000ff]Shaco is solid, perhaps top tier jungler. His level 2 ganks put insane pressure on lanes and he also counter jungles very well. His late game is not that great being that he is kind of glass in team fights but he has tricks and deserve a little respect. He can also baron steal like a champ with the +20% smite damage on his passive.[/quote]

[quote=DEWO]Correct me here if i am wrong since i played only fiew games of dominion after the break but on dominion anything that can lay a protection near tower is good. Heimer turrets Shaco boxes Teemo Mushrooms etc. I've seen alot of shacos on dominion becouse he is mobile, can protect towers with boxes and so on, and if ppl play him in dominion with some success you will see them in core games as well. my 0.02$[/quote]
