what can I do as a support to prevent myself and the ADC from being ganked by shaco?

do pink wards reveal him when he goes invisible? where should i place my pink wards if they do? where should i place the regular wards, and I know that oracle will let me see where he is, but i have to get lucky with that. are there certain supps i should go for when he goes jg? right now i play sona, nami, raka, and morg.

Morgana can be pretty good because if shaco gets near her ulti will become available for use and show him.

Some things you can do is get the ghost poro ward and place down the ward, if Shaco comes near then it pings even if he is invis. Control ward behind your turret on red side in the bush, and in the tri bush for blue side.

Depends on the support. You might be better off getting some deeper vision on his jungle rather then just river so your aware of if he is near your side of the map. The wrong champion doing this will feed him kills thou. Encourage your ADC to grab reds every back they have the gold so you guys can maintain strong vision. Once his Early game falls he has a pretty long low point if he can not snowball by farming champions.

Morg would be good against Shaco(fear and slow won't matter and you can just root him).

You max E as morgana which is really bad, and if you pick morgana, and then see an assassin you must take exhaust

Q max will always be king (Especially now that the E cd is so high and the W mana cost is oof) because otherwise your Q root duration is low asf, also if you plan to get Zhonya as support, always take stopwatch, the discount it provides is really necessary if you're playing on a support budget. Free boots is actually trolling imo now that it's 12min-45sec

Something happened at 3min and 6min, look back at those events

Also never get Tabi+wardens mail, especially if you're not against a full AD team. You took 2100 gold and threw it in the gutter. That's 7-10min of support income, you also got sweeper pretty late

You bought a good amount of control wards though!

as support you should ward places where he would normally Q from but this can be a challenge if the Shaco is smart because he has such unique ganking areas, as for what you can actually do? if it really comes down to it just sacrifice yourself if it means your adc gets out alive, they are the carry not the support, a lot of people don't seem to understand that. and no control wards don't reveal Shaco but they do reveal his boxes, also a thing you should watch for is that when Shaco uses his box in stealth you can see him for literally 0.5 second, this can help
