Why is Shaco able to clear so well without even building a jungle item?

If you look at his most popular build on champion.gg, he doesn't even finish his jungle item. All he buys is machete and apparently that's all he needs to kill sh*t. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the jungle balanced in a way that you're not supposed to be able to clear unless you build a jungle item?

Prob because he relies on tiamat to help him clear and uses boxes to tank.

Considering how bad Shaco is right now (and has been for many years), I see no reason to nerf him.

He builds machete then tiamat so that he can have aoe clears. If he couldnt get tiamat then his clears would be a lot worse.

this.

Shaco is forced to rush tiamat for clear the jungle, the others champions no.

He would end up really behind in experience though. Like, he wouldn't even get level 2 from clearing his first buff.

No one should be able to clear without a jungle item, and doran's isn't a viable starting item for Fiddle, for reasons mentioned above.

so no one should be able to kill jungle creeps at all unless you have jungle item?

Not without taking damage.
