I've recently bought shaco and i've played a few games with him I've had some issues but it's been okay. I found he really falls of late game. But I also find I always end up falling a level or two behind and have trouble catching up. Who else has this problem or has had it? Any tips for fixing it
In order to make a difference in the game you pretty much have to troll the shit out of their jungler. Counter jungle, kill the jungler, so that their jungler gets behind and cant gank.. and you need to gank a lot.
You can literally be up 5 kills on anyone else in the game and after 30 mins you are useless (in a conventional sense). Where Shaco really shines late game is the constant lane pressure and harassment. Hes on of the best lane pushers in the game and is amazing at keeping the other team constantly distracted...You can't play him like other champs.
Shaco wants to end the game as quickly as possible, a lot of shacos run ignite for lvl 2 cheese invades/ganks.. But its so well known that the chances of you being successful with it are lower than before. Albeit if you are low enough rank you can probably still get away with it. Your job with Shaco should be to gank as often as you can.. Like Lee Sin pressure or more. You have to use ur Q to your advantage to do ganks that most junglers cant pull off.
If you get the lead, you want to keep it.. Apply pressure where its needed, split pushing, or trying to blow up their ADC in a team fight. Generally its pretty hard to blow up an ADC in a team fight with Shaco atm, so generally you split push and then do clean up duty as the team fight comes to an end.
I might try him again, since I can't play him for my life
Shaco is my main champ. hes really fantastique. but as everyone knows. its hard to catch up levels with ur team. but in late games. he destroys anyone that he pass by He's not pathetic
