Shaco needs a small clarity update

Shac Norris·Sep 15, 2015·6 votes·428 views

His passive says : Shaco deals 20% bonus damage when striking a unit from behind

Yet his W (Jack In The Box) doesn't proc the 20% bonus damage His ultimate (Hallucinate) does not proc it either.

It should be made clear that only his E (Two-Shiv Poison) and his basic attacks deal more damage.

Would also be nice for JitB to have a little more hp, so that they dont get 1 by everything, maybe putting an health bar like zyra's, where spells can affect it, but it takes more than 1 basic attack to get rid of it..

That is all.

Shaco is a joke atm, only mains play him. He is full of bugs, especially the ultimate. check that shit out, if you ping shaco and he hallucinates, the ping is still on the real shaco. without talking about other thousands way of recognize him.

whatever, he is getting a rework in 2014 don't worry. oh wait its almost 2016

lol he doesn't need a rework, just some bug fixes! :)

Also if you found a bug, just submit it to the ''report a bug'' section, it always helps.

years ago they said they were going to rework him. maybe they meant a rework as in warwick-kind of rework. anyway i wish i could play shaco, he's so fun and when you kill somebody you don't feel dirty and you actually feel accomplished for punish enemy mistakes and making great decisions :=)

too bad the only use for ult is for dodging shit

I don't like playing him AD, its so strong its almost disgusting, i mostly play him AP (see my match history if you don't believe me :P) Believe me, his ultimate isn't just for dodging, its also a good source of damage in a team fight, a really good spell bait (like when you're low hp and the enemy is like OM NOM NOM FREE SHACO), your best friend in general, and he can tank dragon for you no problem.

I think riot made a statement on how they had no plans on reworking Shaco soon, whish is a good thing in my opinion, but to be honest, he needs a bit of love lol

I don't play dominion much, when i did play it, i only got MS on him and ran to get objectives.

Anyyyway, i play him Mid ap, top ap, sometimes support or ad jungle when needed (yes, support.)

I build a tear on him first, as he's mana hungry, and late game its a great source of damage and mana sustain AND a shield (as he's really squishy), it fits my play style, as i like to play dangerously, putting pressure on the enemy.

I usually go for Morellonomicon second, for the extra 20% cdr, as you need that really bad, other stats are good as well, and it helps with mana sustain

Third item (or second, depending on how good i'm doing) Luden's Echo! this is Shaco's MUST HAVE item, it replaces DFG, which was essential to ap shaco.

Then either Void Staff (if they're building tanky) or Rabadon (if they're not and i'm still doing pretty well) (actually i buy them both every game, since void staff is another MUST HAVE item on ap Shaco, since he can't deal with anyone with any MR item)

Sometimes i don't even build a Tear at all, and i just go for straight damage (morellonomicon or Luden's first) when i'm against people like Zed or Yasuo since they can just jump on you :)

As for Mejai, its a Gamble, but if i'm confident that i'll win my lane after seeing the enemy's still level, and if i have enough vision around my lane i'll build mejai, but its just that in my play style (offensive) i might die more often than when i'm playing safe. :)
