the fine line between inting and baiting

around 400 LP Master in NA. very satisfying CC combo after almost getting caught. Seraphine thought it was planned (it wasn’t)

Is Arcane Comet on AP JG actually just better??

https://preview.redd.it/cejizyyvp82h1.png?width=468&format=png&auto=webp&s=984919b7ae30b355cc02ed59e8afd70e48db8687

TL;DR Is Arcane comet actually that much better on AP Shaco Jungle after DFT nerf, and by how much?

I was just checking onetricks.gg to just check what high elo shaco JG players were building and noticed they basically every AP shaco player went back to Arcane Comet? I don't usually keep up with patch notes, but the only thing was the Deathfire was nerfed slightly, but I didn't think it would affect Shaco JG so much. I know even on release the new rune was like not that broken on our champs, but I'm just surprised that with one nerf yall are back to Arcane comet.
Does anyone have the numbers on how much the nerf costed us in damage?

champion for players that have to look at keyboard while typing

i mean can you do literally anything useful for the team one time

hiding in a bush with your boxes while we have to 4v5 is not helping in any way shape or form

and if they build AD they just jump in attack once run away then ping question mark

just uninstall

Shaco ban, what you play?

I'm getting mad because of constant bans of shaco, I'm support and play AP most games unless team needs AD that im not really good at tbh... Back to the question, I don't really know what to play when Shaco get banned i just get destroyed most of the times and feels useless xd So, maybe asking for your picks when Shaco get banned or some tips could helps me...
Sorry if my english is bad or something, it's not my native language.

AP Shaco Finally Burnt Me Out After a 15 Game Win Streak

15 game win streak. 15 wins in a row. 2 of those games were on Hecarim because Shaco got picked/banned.

After that streak I played 6 more games. Went 3-3. And honestly, I think I’m done playing AP Shaco for now.

What’s frustrating is that this streak didn’t even feel rewarding. If anything, it burnt me out harder on the champion because every single game kept showing me the exact same problem over and over again.

The higher you climb, the harder mistakes get punished. And AP Shaco feels completely miserable when your team decides to sprint the first 10-15 minutes of the game. That period of the game is literally when your agency is at its lowest.

Yes, Shaco can still gank on first clear. But after that, AP Shaco ganks honestly feel weak as hell unless the setup is perfect or the enemy completely misplays. So you end up in this situation where you’re basically begging your team to stop inting long enough for you to reach your item spikes.

And the problem is that by the time you finally become strong, the game state is already completely chaotic and borderline unrecoverable because everyone has already chain-fed each other across the map.

Meanwhile most other champions actually have enough raw agency early-mid game to prevent the game from spiraling that hard in the first place.

That’s the thing that finally tilted me off this champion. Not even the losses themselves. Just the feeling that so many games are completely outside of your control until way too late into the game.

So yeah. I’m probably dropping Shaco for now and playing something else until higher elo. Maybe I’ll come back to the champ later, but right now this win streak honestly made me more frustrated with AP Shaco than anything else.

Edit: Maybe AD Shaco will save me from stress, how do you play dragged out long games on AD?

How do I win my ranked games on AD shaco?

Im a emerald peak taliyah player im basically gold for any other champion I play. I really want to get better on Shaco specifically ad because I like watching the ADC health bar disappear. Im like mastery lvl 15 on him so I know the basic stuff for him I just have a hard time knowing if I should be perma invading or when I should even go in and how do I even end games early before the ADC scales.

I cant win on this champ lmao

Hi everyone! So i started playing shac once i hit emerald, but i cannot seem to win with this champ. Im back in plat II, and i mostly play AP

I love ap because of the objective control but i am having trouble closing out games, many times i'll be able to get multiple drakes, but it isnt enough to actually win the game. I come from a background of viego and xin (55% wr and 70% wr, respectively) but i have a 38% wr on the clown in about 90 games. My early and mid game feel good with ap shac, but closing out games i struggle with, any advice would be really appreciated!!

Back to masters yay me.

It appears with the new updates and runes/items etc. the best AP shaco build is exactly the same. Comet bft > liandry > deathcap. Crypt/zhonya situationally.

Interesting to get 30 cooldown on W with the new imperial mandate coming out, wondering where to slot that in, I’m guessing second or third.

Side note, about a year ago got back in to playing this game to remind me of my little bro. He was a pro player when lcs started out. Miss him so much RIP❤️

1st game: my akshan decided to grief all game and feed yone because of an argumen i even made a ticket to riot but i doubt hell get punishment

2st game: met the most delusional caitly ive seen in my life my guy went 3/16 blamed everyone else and the best part when he talked in all chat even the enemy was against him and still blamed everyone else

3rd game: smolder midlane and had a caitlyn that kep getting disconnected from the game and went like 1 6 and a smolder with same numbers

im only making this cause i wanna complain and its just makes me feel a little better idc if people say "you always blame others but you dont see if you could do anything better" i just wanted to rant somewhere anyway im getting a 3 day break think we all need one
btw dont play league after 23:00 its hell itself im not doing it again
