i know the feeling as a support main lol
its why i support shaco now i can have fun and carry the bad adc through removing their adc and keeping my team safe with box CC
and before you claim im troll, shaco support works if played right
hes not an outright assassin as he doesnt get the gold for that. he is a CC monster with pre planning and a strong distraction
ive trapped a vayne in 3 boxes for 4 seconds of CC and a lot of dps, its a matter of prediction and controling the enemies movement
I mean, yeah, it might work, but what about lategame? unless you are lucky and the enemy runs in a nest you made, you are pretty screwed without Items, no?

the only item i need to do decent damage to their carry is 1 of the hexteck items. the rest is tanky CDR
traps cna be used as lines of CC for kiting OR a trap, alternate between a match to keep the enemy guessing, also use them as delay mechanics fro split pushing or protecting side routs to objectives where your wards wont cover due to the 4 ward limit
you can also use them to set traps at your control ward when they try to kill it
support shaco is a prediction CC tank unless you get severly ahead, then you build damage
also you can lternate to plit pushing after placing a few boxes where your team is sieging
its all about prediction and reaction for support shaco and box placmeent, ive used it to block skilll shots that could have cost us the game like a blitz/thresh/naught pull or amumu Q, ive even use it to kill assassins as they come on the carry through preidction
its about reading the match and the movements of the enemy in the 1st 5 min to predict their actions for the next 5 min, and then use the 5-10 min mark to predict their actions in the 10-15 min mark and so on.
its fun because in a form its like playing chess, just with more variables and conditions.
the one thing i do wish would change is how sweeper and control wards act with shaco boxes, they should not focibly activate them, they should make them visable yes, byt being able to run down a path with sweepers on and ignore every box you could come across because you wont get feared from it is stupid, they dont make teemo shrooms explode on reveal, nor should they made shaco boxes go into their active state, just reveal them
