Guide to freelo: AP shaco
I've been playing AP shaco for a while now and honesty he's so disgusting, at least so far in gold. I've played a lot of AD shaco games before (600+) even in diamonds but AP is the way to go right now and it's gross.
Get the cdr reduction mastery, thunderlords mastery, and ignite. Build mobi boots, runic echo, hextech gunblade. Then work on void staff when the enemies start to get MR. Sometimes lichbane if it's appropriate.
This wasn't viable before because of the build path of hextech, but ever since the new passive on the hextech revolver, the build path is no longer an issue. The deceive auto will do so much damage with the revolver.
Check the enemy items constantly and find out who has low MR. 100-0 most squishies just by using auto-hextech-E, in whatever order. That pops thunderlords.
Or, just hextech-E-ignite from afar to kill an adc or some squishy once you get snowballing. That will make the enemy go back to base, burn summoners spells, etc. because the combo comes out instantaneously. There's no counterplay because the enemy can't react. You can walk away if that doesn't kill because the enemy will be too low hp to fight. If the enemy stays in lane or lingers around, go back in twice, three times to throw E and they'll base.
Just before teamfights, if you just deceive in, then throw E (save hextech for teamfights), it'll hit so hard that the enemy will be scared to even teamfight.
Jungle clear isn't too slow either if you use the right runes and masteries. The shaco box and E will do enough damage to help clear jungle on time.
More people should abuse this before the invisibility changes.
