Am I the only one here who jungles and is fed up with shaco's ability to level 2 invade and win? I think shaco is in need of a serious nerf plus there is no way to counter him or what he does when he goes invisible for 5 seconds which is way too long plus he can jump walls in this. Shaco has dominated the jungle for too long and needs a serious nerf
Lazypeon1002 votesHe does not need a nerf. He actually hasn't been a very strong pick for several seasons now.
The Whamboozler2 votesShaco is the most balanced assassin in the game, dude. He is an early game ganker/invader. That is LITERALLY the only reason to pick him.
I'm sorry if you can't figure out how to handle that, but nerfing a champion's ONLY strong point is dumb af. Shaco falls off harder than nearly ANYONE in the game come teamfights, usually being reduced to a splitpusher. Just pull up your big girl panties... expect that he's REALLY strong for the first 10 minutes of the game and play around that fact. Don't just whine becuase he jumped you at red and killed you. Mix up your jungle paths. Duo and have a friend assist you at your second buff in case he's there. Ward your own jungle and avoid him... or even invade HIM while he sits in your jungle like a tard waiting for you.
But stop your whining about "omg nerf this guy because I died to him!". Instead, be an intelligent human being and see HOW he killed you... then change what you are doing to make that less likely. Improve at the freaking game, don't just try to get everything you're to lazy to play around nerfed.
rtbf2279148341 votesbut his ability to invade the enemies jungle level 2 is retarded
DrCyanide1 votesA Silver 5 Jungler showed me the counter: Start at your first buff (Blue/Red), getting your leash there, then run straight to your second buff.
Congratulations. By not starting Krugs/Gromp, you've completely avoided the level 2 invade and made Shaco waste time.
Lazypeon1001 votesWard up then. He's not the only jungler who can do that. He also falls off hard by mid game if he hasn't gotten fed. If he is in your jungle, laners need to collapse and kill him. What DrCyanide says is also true.

you cant kill someone that is invisible at level 2
Lazypeon1001 votesYou can kill him. If you don't want to take advice that's fine, I just don't understand the point of the OP when you asked if it is time to nerf shaco and people tell you no and give ways to counter him and you don't want to listen :/.
Go ward your jungle entrances, you will see him coming. Have team mates ready to collapse. If he invades, he's a dead man.
Litzner1 votesHe "can" be a strong presence early, and if he is good can really help influence the game in your favor early-mid, but if the game is close mid-late Shaco typically falls way off.
RogueWill1 votesMan this post are kinda funny. Stoping an invade is as simle as dropping a ward on the place where you most likely will get ambushed. 4 Or... Invade the enemy jungle if you are sure you will get invaded and trade camps Or... Just start on the opposite side of the map.
man this is just too easy to prevent bt people seem to be so fixated on the same jungle paths that are so easy to predict
