Can Shaco be built off tank??

Ok I know that shaco should be built as an assassin but is it possible to play him ad/off tank? The main reason why I ask is because I don't play shaco but want to however if you get behind on shaco is it still wise to build straight damage or can you like I was wondering build off tank? Thanks! :)

Anybody can build a Locket and a Randuin's Omen, if that's what you're (inarticulately) asking.

Nice superiority complex.

You could probably build some durability with Maw of Malmortius and Deadman's Plate (since they still provide damage for assassinations), but I don't think he really has the utility or base damage needed to stack defensive items.

You could probably make it work, but other champions would probably fill that niche better.

Yeah I can definitely see what you mean now that you mention that. I was just wondering because I like stealth mechanics but don't really like Eve, I do play rengar but was wondering what else there is. I know kha is another option. But anyway thanks for your comment appreciate it.

Out of curiousity, have you tried playing Evelynn as an AD Fighter? You get similar early ganking pressure but you have a different playstyle later in the game which you may enjoy more.

I'm not really a fan of her AP build personally (though I will acknowledge that it is probably objectively better), but I like using her as a fighter late-game since she's durable enough to sit in a fight after initiating.

I typically build something along the following lines: item 3111 item 1412 item 3025 item 3156 item 3742 item 3102

Ah, the legend of Tanko.

It's hella annoying and requires a different playstyle (as does every single different type of build on shaco) but can distract an enemy team and cause quite a ruckus sometimes :3

I remember a tank shaco build on dominion. Basically singed with boxes instead of poison. Make the enemy team chase you forever and never die.
