"He's balanced, just get sweeper!". Yea, too bad he can place the traps while stealthed. By the time you know where the trap is, he's already feared you. If only there was some actual counterplay to Shaco's kit, instead of needing an item for "counterplay" that doesn't even exist if you get the item.

You didn't even say anything about his kit. All you did was give play and win rate.
LordRedStone Nr16 votesI think you're not quite sure what balanced means. Shaco, as a champion, is perfectly balanced with these stats. Shaco's kit, however, is not healthy, which means it has counterplay and should be fun to play as and against while providing meaningful options to both players. Champions can be balanced while unhealthy, but probably it means they are oneshotting you or doing something really opressing without counterplay. Unhealthy champions often have high winrates, but it's not necessarily the same thing.
JuiceBoxP1 votesIf he had no counterplay he would have 100% winrate, right?
Fact is his winrate is just above average And he has counterplay.
Is he an annoying champion? Yes. Does he have counterplay? Yes. What is the counterplay? Deep warding and playing safe. He flattens out to nothing if you don't feed him

That title should go to Yasuo players, especially the ones in low elo.

"JuSt BuIlD aRmGuArD aNd He'S uSeLeSs" - boards
gets ganked 4 times in a row by jungler in 5 minutes, proceeds to watch Zed two combo you trough Seeker's and Tabi
Zed match-ups rely too much on the junglers than the laners themselves, which is a bad design, as the match-up itself is either a win-win for Zed, or a loss-loss for him, plus, he needs skill added back into his kit, the lack of it is stupidly obvious.

Given your name the fact that you don't KNOW WHO THE FK I AM IS SAD.
And the OP never played SHACO In his lifetime. YOU CAN SEE where shaco is placing a box HE LITERALY HAS TO POINT IN ITS FKING DIRECTION Not to mention that there is enough time to walk out of it twice
L Psy Kongroo1 votesI think you're riding the Shaco-hate train a little too hard. Yes he can place the traps while stealthed, but they take 2 full seconds to stealth/arm, and if you're unable to notice he's placed a trap within those 2 seconds, that's your own fault.
FSRER1 votes3 non champion counterplays
That cheap item will save you from shaco ganks and if placed in a midle of a teamfight shaco will get bursted down because you will be able to see him through stealth.Now, shaco's abilities are pretty much balanced and more balanced that Hecarim you are playing recently. His Q a up to 4.5 seconds stealth spell which maxed does 50 base damage and scales with 40% ad and 30% ap, not overpowered at all His W are the boxes, which, if a shaco is going ap this will chunk (except if you have Sweeper), other than that they are kinda useless because most champion abilities can 1 shot them at 20 mins or so since their health does not scale (did I mention they only scale with 20% ap?) His E is by far the strongest ability in his kit BUT it is very late game cause when maxed, it needs heavy ap or ad to help it 1 shoot you. And his R just a clone, nothing special
Now, counterplay
And what you say about the trap, again, you can see the trap when he places it!!!! even when he is stealthed and half the roster hard counters shaco. I explained as good as I could.
HA I am Shaco HA1 votesthe thing is that the item is free and available at level 1.. and also the box has an arm time of about 1.5, as well as you can see the box before stealth and also kill it very fast, Shaco is also briefly revealed when placing the box meaning you can move away from him accordingly . Another thing is that the fear is only about 0.5/0.75 seconds at rank 1 or something and he maxes it last, so the fear isn't that big and shouldn't affect you too hard until late game. but if you want counter items, try getting a seekers early game for the armor provided by farming and get a Zhonya really if necessary, stopwatch works too. Ninja tabi is also a good option because most of Shaco's damage output is from auto attacks. now for counterplay against his boxes, you can get an oracle, control ward or duskblade, all of these 3 items reveal his boxes and oracle gives a red render of Shaco when stealthed, so you can path around his boxes or just generally away from Shaco when he ganks or attempts to kill you. I hope this helps.
