is ap shaco burst kinda ridiculous?

A Basic Island··6 votes·679 views

late game just deletes just about anything squishy. Feel like burst is really high especially for coming from steath with no warning

idk if its rengar level of burst (cus i dont play rengar), but its certainly a high amount.

Its not really OP but its a good finisher when ur target is around 30 - 40% HP because the dmg from the E is mostly missing HP dmg % if the target is full hp you will have a harder time killing since u have no AD so no power behind your autos.

Never played Shaco AP. Does it really work that well?

It's the preferred build at high elo now. Runic echoes, gunblade, lichbane, deathcap, sorc shoes and infinity edge (for the passive crit with Q). Better burst than AD now, and Q has an AP ratio.

It's not great, but it is more viable than AD.

The only issue is jungle clear speed though people sometimes get an early tiamat to help with that (which they sell late game).

AP Shaco has always been really bursty. We're seeing more of it now because after the rework, AD Shaco frankly sucks lol

Because of how they changed the backstab passive?

Also, ap shaco always had issues with clearspeed/farming, the increased box health really hellped him farming and thus allows him to get his items more reliably.

ive been mostly doing something silly like item 1419 item 3077 ad shaco as the game progresses the build I take usually evolves into item 3006 item 3046 item 3071 item 3022 item 3074

might just be being bad with shaco

but the reason I enjoy doing this type of build is his clone doesn't seem to have that lower as as old shaco clone did, meaning as is actually pretty valuable and gives this build a lot of dps and some shred push capabilities with how much hydra is going off.

I wish they didn't ruin Shaco for no reason. AD Shaco was perfectly healthy and balanced. Now it's worthless trash and AP Shaco is cancer.
