Do you usually feel like you're going to win or lose ? (poll included)

Edit: for clarity I meant on YOUR team.

Who's team is he on? If enemy, I feel like I'm likely to win with the addition of true sight on the smite for the raven camp.

If mine, probably a loss.

I cant judge cause i play a lot of yi on my smurf. People think yi is the same amount of bad as shaco. Though i find it funny once a Diamond Shaco main tried to ridicule me playing yi, it was pretty ironic.

I love Shaco, use to main him (still kinda do). My diamond friend still does.

He is a crazy powerful champion.

So this is a hit and miss thing. A lot of the time u need a comp that hold out without shacco. For some reason people on my team always die to his tanks like they do a Lee sin. When on my team the enemy always is aware.

Shaco on enemy team? Ez win. Shaco on my team? Ez win.

I carry games idgaf about who's on my team or the enemy team. I live by the wise words of Doublelift: "Everyone else is trash."

I've seen good Shacos single-handedly win lanes for people (and by that I mean they ganked lanes like no tomorrow and nearly always walked away with a kill).

I've played shaco since his release. You'd be lucky to have someone who knows how to shaco pretty well on your team. The problem is knowing when to pick him though. Most team comps don't work for shaco. I think Nami on your team is really good for shaco. So is someone who's a good CC tiop lane like maokai or malphite so you can gank top early successfully(3-9) And really any mid laner works with shaco as long as they have some kind of CC or high kill potentional and theres a ton of mid laners like that now a days so the synergy is almost always there. The only real issue is how weak their jungler is to getting triple buffed. If you can't triple buff (take three buffs at level 2-3) then it can be a hard game because thats what shaco is good at. Fucking over the enemy jungler then fucking over the enemy team while their jungler recovers The issue with this is riot hates junglers so you gain almost zero exp for stealing these buffs... (theres like zero reward for counter jungler in terms of exp now rofl...)

imo you should get double the jungle rewards for counter jungling. No exceptions. Espically with how shit the exp rewards are right now. Double would still be worse than taking 1 wave of minions. At the moment you have clear 2-5 camps to make 1 wave of minions in terms of exp at any point in the game.

Its insane how worthless jungle camps are for how hard they are to clear for alot of champions.

Mmm, doritoes. Gotta vote for that option.

As for Shaco on my team - indifferent. A lot of Shaco doing well or poorly seems luck-based, Shaco doing things is mostly about building a big lead early as he's one of the very few early-game champions in the game. And enemies being in the right spot at the right time with Fog of War involved requires a decent amount of luck for the Shaco to get going, spidy-senses or not.

Friggen hate fighting a Shaco. You have to change your entire early-game strategy to deal with him, and he makes you look like a complete moron when he does well against you. Oh you walked into my bush of death - X_X. Congrats on blowing your QWER on my clone - there were many ways to double-check that was my clone, but you did it anyways X_X. Oh you thought you could chase me. Nope.

Fighting him as LeBlanc is kind of fun though, you both spike at the same time, and you can double-chain his butt when he trys stealthing away.
