Unpopular Opinion: Flash Shaco > Ignite Shaco

I'm sorry, it's just factual. Flash Shaco lets you close gaps better, catch up to enemy players when they use dashes to distance them from you, lets you execute with Q flash E, and lets you bail after you've assassinated your primary target. Also, if you flash and land an auto or two, it deals more damage than Ignite would have done (especially considering the 310 damage is mitigated somewhat by health regen.

Ignite is lame in comparison. Fight me.

Grievous wounds. In this meta almost every champion has self heal in their build, some of them a lot of it.

Or you could just go Unsealed Spellbook Shaco and have every summoner.

Popular opinion: Flash goes on D, D stands for Dash and F stands for Fire.

Flash might be better situationally, but that data I'm looking at shows ignite having the better winrate.

Top Shaco here, I take Flash and Ignite. Best of both worlds.

Alright lets actually talk about this, flash on shaco. It can be good but it all depends if you are actually using it to get kills early because if you don't use it to get kills then you are most likely going to fall behind early and be useless late. Ignite is on a lower cooldown and will help you secure more early kills, because of the lower cooldown. While flash will help you kill people that escaped or get you out of bad situations. So to cut it down in stages of the game

Early fights: Ignite takes this because if you are straight up fighting someone 1v1 and you have ignite you are going to cut the other persons healing from potions, smite, and heal so this is going to make it so they cant turn the fight as easy, while with flash you can close the distance and get more autos in or it will help you escape bad situations. Also because you have ignite and they have flash you will be able to fight more often with the summoner advantage.

Ganks: Ignite wins this one. If you have flash on shaco and you trade flashes with a lanner then you and that lanner will have flash back up at the same time while with ignite your ignite will be up more often and because shaco does not have reliable cc the extra damage will be more useful than just always just trading flashes.

Small skirmishes: Mostly even with a small edge to flash for its versatility. Ignite will help you kill one target better and help turn a 1v1 if and only if they other person does not have flash, Flash will help you either get on top of someone who already has flash or escape and live after you have already killed the person.

Late game/Team Fights: Flash takes the cake here ignite does not do basically anything late game only cutes someone's healing with can be good but it isn't as useful as having a dash to escape after you kill the priority target.
