Getting S on Shaco

Doctor Sidious ··1 votes·1,895 views

I have recently started playing Shaco in the jungle because all the lanes aren't very fun at all anymore with assassin laners and cc tanks. Anyway, I have good games and bad games as Shaco, which is expected on anyone but the games that I do very well in I can't get an S. I have him level 6 and I have been spamming games with him and I can't get an S, only S-. In the last day or so I have gotten three S- on games that I did very well in. There has been a couple times where I have a ton of gold and they surrender out of nowhere and I can't spend it and it really feels like I would get an S if I could have just spent the gold. I don't know what to do. I just don't get how it's actually possible when I have a lot of kills, not very many deaths, good assists, and a ton of farm for a jungle and even completely controlling objectives. There was a game where I killed the enemy in his jungle, had good farm, and got every single dragon, rift heard, baron, and elder dragon, almost all solo and no S. I thought maybe I would get one over time but nope.

Shaco is one of those champs that's crazy hard to master, crazy unpopular, allies and enemies alike hate him. Because of this, you're essentially competing with a very small population of highly dedicated shaco mains. The ones that when you see them on the enemy team, you're doomed.

Basically, it's based on how you do vs others that play the champ, and the only ones that play shaco play him a LOT.

It also takes position into account, I wanted a quick S on nidalee end of season so I just did ADC nidalee for a quick S and moved on as I don't like her current jungle. Mechanically I'm good with her, so all I had to do was outplay whatever wankers played ADC nidalee to the detriment of their poor teams. 1 game and done S+

It's the same for a lot of junglers. Nocturne was the first champion I ever owned, I've never stopped playing him, and finally got M7 yesterday. You die too much, dont get enough farm, give too many kills to laners, and instantly it's A+. Never great but you get there in the end lol.

I found the same, I finally resorted to shaco mid, but apparently everyone that plays shaco mid is op with him there too. I got like games where i went 15/3 and still only an s-. I finally got an s with a long game on him where i non stop farmed and went like 20/3 ap shaco, massive damage.

you have to farm a lot more than you really should to get a S as Shaco. It's not the easiest of tasks, just keep at it.
