Life of a shaco player who just wanted to play a normal game instead of ranked

TenSlashTen··1 votes·845 views

"most shacos are shit anyway thats probably why he's in spawn dc'ed" "Yeah they always lose games for me" post game lobby 2k+normals. Why is it always the normal spamming casuals that shit talk you? I don't get it.

lol I didn't even say anything I was dc'ed until 1:40 when i got in and soloed my blue and went to go steal red from the other shaco that was dc'ed just as long as me apparently(we stole each others reds lol)

Its just confusing honestly. Maybe I didn't want to play a ranked game? Maybe I didn't want to play ranked at all today?

Sick of this toxic community thats only made worse by the poor balance. But the root of the problem isnt the community its the balance of this game Shoving out older picks with these broken as fuck ahri and onward created champions with stupidly overpowered kits that aren't even hard to play. Makes any champ that isn't as broken or as OP seem worthless and therefor makes newer players or inexperienced players think the older ones are trash and that trolls play them. Its a never ending circle of hate that riot has created with their shit balance. It's pathetic thats its been 5 years of whack a mole. It really REALLY is pathetic.

People just hate Shaco in general. I once had a guy in rank troll me for picking him. He told me since I went shaco he's going to do whatever he can to stop me from doing it. So he went duo jungle panth and needless to say fed like hell while I went like 4/0 the first few minutes.

Regardless of how well I did he still chose to troll and despise Shaco.

Another game I called Shaco jungle someone banned him right off the bat and told me he doesn't want that trash champ on his team lol.

There's just a lot of Shaco hate since most people are fking stupid with him. They try to copy people like the Illuminati Shaco and end up feeding hard

Shaco penalizes people who aren't playing safely, that's why people hate him so much. Just about to barely finish your red buff at 200hp? Shiv throw and ignite with maybe a Q backstab thrown in for good measure. Playing riven and barely won that trade with the enemy pantheon? Shaco just backstab ignited you for firstblood and now you're behind.

Shaco is there when people dont want him there, he is what people fear COULD happen if they extend past the middle of the lane. He is similar to evelynn, in that a good player can avoid all wards and be right on top of you before you know what happened.

All this being said, I love shaco, he is easily my favorite champ. I own all of his skins (ty self-gift for workshop shaco) and would gladly play him anywhere, other* than adc.

This is actually the "Curse of Shaco." It's been that way since always. Shaco's decent skill curve with his reliance on map awareness, target selection, and surprise all add up splitting Shacos into one of two types of Shacos.

There are good Shacos that can pick of ADCs, counter jungle well, and otherwise play Shaco well. Then, there are Shaco players who, while playing a game as Shaco, are also eating a sandwich, and therefore do poorly.

The problem is that if Shaco is eating a sandwich, he tends to feed. So he falls into a feed of fed sort of niche, and nobody wants to gamble on that.
