Shaco In Low Elo?

Tøys··1 votes·876 views

Ive been playing shaco recently and I keep getting fed but I just loose every game. Im 3 W 8 L with a positive kda. I keep losing so should I keep trying to get better and learn how to teamfight, close games, etc. or should I just play a easier champ to climb and if I should what champion should I play. Please help and give actual feedback. Thank you

Logical. I believe that if you wish to be a better player. You'd have to starting thinking and questioning yourself. --- Instead of building the same build every game. Start to be more versatile. Think of the best possible build in that scenario.

----- The same goes with gameplay, don't rinse and repeat. Every game is always different, start adapting.

This is true for any champ, even shaco.

Just watch Pink Ward or Shaclone play. The mid and late game where teams group up is always hard for shaco some exp is needed to play assassins late game in this meta. In addition to playing Shaco try Graves, or Hecarim.

Those champions are prettybad for low elo junglers.

It's good that you're getting fed, but still losing. It shows that you're fairly mechanically sound with Shaco and can be the top of the group over others, the problem is that try and learn how to carry that into the mid to late game moments as if you lose teamfights around there it could be the end of your spree. If you can learn how to carry your fed self pass a teamfight you can win fairly easily.

Just copy the KOREAN SHACO BUILD summoner 14 summoner 11

KDA doesn't mean anything if you make bad decisions to lose the game. If you don't know anything about boxes, invading, and dragon soloing you are probably worthless as a jungle shaco, so learn k.

Edit: also stop building hydra every game

That's like me with Evelynn. I get fed but I just have nothing to do in teamfights. I kill the adc and by then my teams already been wiped and im the center of focus.

If you gonna play shaco, you pretty much have to be fully dedicated to it if you want to be good at it. So be prepare to play almost every game as Shaco. If you are prepared for it and like it, its ok to do it, objectively speaking, there are players in diamond that pretty much only play Shaco.

For lower elo, I don't think he is a good choice to use to climb out of lower elo. Let's be honest, in low elo when did you see a team or yourself understand fully objective to go? when to group up? when to only wave clear so your teamate can split push? when to avoid teamfight? pretty much never. I am also in low elo, so I can see that my teamate don't understand these concept just like I also don't really understand them. Basically what I want to say is, in low elo, most of the players do not understand how to make macro decisions correctly.

And shaco requires the his team to act corretly in a very different way compare to other champion. This in turns means it makes macro decisions even more complex and harder to understand. Combine these 2 facts alone, it already drastically make your game much harder to win.

Don't use KDA to justify playing a champion in rank, if you want to climb, look at how is your win % with the champion. (If you want to justify it being fun cause you like killing other champions alot, then thats different.)

P.S. This is just a side note. I think you mean a high KDA ratio not positive KDA. Since its always positive.

KDA Ratio = (K+A) / Max(1,D)

So its almost always a positive number. The lowest it can go is 0, which is (0+0)/Deaths.

Edit: The correct fomula is KDA Ratio = (K+A) / Max(1,D). Editted that in.
