Why does players call Shaco weak?

Zoretez··2 votes·370 views

I am a Shaco main, and I have a quite good win rate with him as well. In late game I can kill almost everplayer in the game (If I get a good game ofc). Still many players say: Shaco is weak, Shaco is weak in late game.... Any one know why he is considered being bad?

How about a magic trick?

I voted Yes, because my biggest problem is how weak he is against tanks. I can literally do nothing against aggressive tanks that catch up to me (or know what to do against Shaco). I have to create jackfields (if they let me) but even if we go towards lategame and they catch up to my lvl/items, item 3151 doesn't proc with my boxes and Void staff is not enough especially when they have 2+ tanks in the enemy team. I try to focus on eliminating the small fish but it's never enough.

I asked on reddit what to do against tanks as an AP top Shaco and they told me to either go AD with BotRK or throw/dodge if my team can't carry.

I'll gladly hear more opinions on how to face/catch up tanks as an AP top Shaco.
