Tips Against Shaco in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
colingogo says “If you can use W or your first Q before he ults, you can tell which one is the clone. Smite his boxes to deny CC, and you just one shot him. Kinda scary early though.”
Citric says “Shaco likes to do three camps on one side really quickly and try to gank a lane. Try to get an early sweeper for his Q invis and his boxes. ”
Narutoe says “Trade him down and then use your E to mark him before he ults, youll know who is the real one and youll easily kill him. Jump away from his boxes.”
Doubtfull says “I haven't played this match up too much. You can potentially tell which shaco is the real one with your passive stack. Try to watch out for his boxes as thats how he can lock you down.”
PsiGuard says “Shaco players can be unpredictable, which can make them a threat in the early game. They often take Ignite which gives them an edge 1v1. If you can avoid dying to him early and make it to level 6, you can countergank him effectively or pull off your own ganks with ult. Try not to get tricked by his clone and save your R for after he's used Q.”
EUWRATS says “Take oracle lens lvl 1 and invade his chickens to clear the boxes to delay his start. His clone will take 50% more dmg so by using Q its a very easy way to detect the real shaco.”
Doubtfull says “Rek'sai's tremor sense is a huge help with tracking Shaco during his shenanigans. You can also tell which Shaco is the real one if you have knocked him up with your W, as the W timer will be underneath him. Try to invade and mess up his boxes level 1 if you can get your team to follow you.”
KamiKZ says “This match up is Graves favored. I recommend buying Deaths dance agaisnt shaco to remove some of his burst damage, I also recommend getting oracle lense so you can track down Shaco while he is invisible in his Q.”
ak521 says “Easily escapes any fight whenever he wants. His ulti is also irritating. But the good thing is that his camp clearing is slower than most junglers and he can't one-shot. Shouldn't be much of a problem for you to play against, even during his ulti, just don't chase him. Or focus him. But get oracle lens asap.”
lightrocket2 says “https://youtu.be/C1dXwSXmdyY
After he is visible smack him down and you can use his clone to get auto resets for extra healing to your team.”
Riealone says “Take Oracle Lens, smite his boxes, detect the real one and kill him (his clone takes +50% more damage, so you can easily detect the real one with your Q). Just always keep in mind that you can't go into jungle with low HP and always be aware of his invis and high damage (talking more about peeling and pinging your allies)”
Exoslol says “Shaco is a skill matchup. He can cancel isolation with his boxes which you can smite in return. Be careful about following him into the jungle as he can have traps ready and outplay you with ultimate. Use sweeper in teamfights to locate the dirty clown trying to assasinate your ADC/Mid.”
ANTHONYEVELYNN says “His clone can follow you around perma revealing you. His invisibility and his ultimate cast both cancel your E. You do farm faster than him at least and you can reveal the real one using your W before he uses his ultimate so that only the real Shaco will have the mark above their head.”
Botta00 says “His clone is a bad boy,
If you go wrong and hit the clone you lose the initial engagement and you will easily find yourself out of position”
RedNBlue says “Easy to kite I guess he will throw knifes but he's really squishy and nobody knows how to play him very well in lower Elo. But other wise watch out for his traps and his invisibility. AND DONT GIVE HIM A DRAGON LEASH HE FEASTS OFF OF THOSE.”
chevy the sloot says “Cheese champion. Start top side buff with a fake leash bot to throw him off. He likes to cheese invade and ganks early. As long as he doesn't get his cheese early you win. Even if he gets fed he falls off pretty hard. Always R + smite if he's trying to contest drake he has the best objective stealing aside from Evelynn”
Schadenfreude says “Annoying but otherwise useless champion at the moment. His boxes and invis might be annoying, but keep always have a sweeper up and some control wards if you plan on trying to kill him. If he jumps over a wall, let him go. ”
Tinjus says “WARNING - THIS CHAMPION IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. The amount of times a Shaco has stolen my buffs is too many to count. He can stop your isolation damage with his ult and can assassinate you if he gets the jump on you. Ward your jungle often and try to know his position at all times. Take your buffs as soon as they come up, because you are likely to lose one of them on your first clear depending on where he starts”
Suseri says “Good luck! You can get Oracle at LvL 1 in this Matchup. Try to destroy his Boxes if he places them before you (try to use your doublestrike or smite if possible). You can also try to run away from him after he Ults in order to know which one is the real thing. You need some experience about his Movements and Playstyles, can be tricky to beat a good Shaco player but usually his clone takes alot more and noticeable damage, keep that in mind.”
Ellesmere says “don't let shaco's tricks fool you, you're stronger then him throughout most of the game. the key to shaco is making sure you don't let him snowball other lanes, so ward up, pay attention to where he is and countergank as much as possible.”
Veralion says “AP Shyvana does very funny things to Shaco. Why bother taking the split second to identify which one is real when you can just kill both at once with one ability? Wait for him to press R in a fight and have an E there when he and his buddy pop back into existence. Be sure to Smite the triple boxes that the clone drops before they activate; don't want your team getting hit by that fear. He might be able to force you off of a buff at some point, but he lacks the follow up to finish you off unless you're already pretty low. Ward defensively if finishing a clear below half life. He's good at taking objectives very quickly with his ult, so make sure your objective rotations are on point. Don't be baited into ulting at a clone; if you see a Shaco running around facechecking bushes or running at your teammates without using any abilities, that's the clone. ”
LukaBre123 says “Shaco is hard to kill because of his Q. If you wish you can take Oracle Lens to track his movement and even if he ults the E stacks stay on him and you know which one to hunt.”
JunglerBuilds says “Really tough early game, but if your lanes play safe you will win against him, ward your jungle so he can't surprise you with his high early game damage. Just play safe and play for the late game, he's useless then.”
uSgSello says “Shaco is a very squishy champ and should not be able to kill you early in the jungle because you can escape or try to fight him with your E + Q combo. If you try to engage him he will try to dodge your Combo with his Q. While your abilities are on Cooldown he will definitely outdamage you and might be able to kill you. That's why you should only try to fight him when his Q is on cooldown or when you are counterganking him. ”
Scooltefan says “There was a time when i permabanned Shaco. His Boxes can cause permanent Nerve Damage if you grind Solo-Q. Build Oracles.
But if you can spot the right one you can just burst him.”
TheInkKingLoL says “Shaco is very dangerous in the early game with his damage and easy picks, but is honestly easily to counter him with items, and in fights you should always target him as he is a hard carry.”
litecrunch says “Buy control wards and red trinkets against him to counter him and his boxes. If he lays down a box and its damaging you then smite it to get rid of it, giving you a chance to survive or fight back. The fake shaco takes more damage then real one. You also outscale him.”
DarkAuraLOL says “a really easy matchup, his clear sucks, he loses fair amount of health on camps, you can always invade him, and kill him pre 3 so he has no escape, also they go ignite, basically early lv 1/2/3 invades are advised, you can also kill him on his blue, sometimes you can just go for camp and orbs from him . once you get blue form you can ambush him and ult him to avoid clone and hes dead”
Karthus man says “Shaco is very squishy, but annoying. He will either, kill you early in your jungle, or will gank until he is extremely fed. If he does neither, you will win,”
liserith says “As long as you bring your Oracle Lens, Shaco can be eviscerated. His entire build is built around very quick kills, but your ult can stall his burst out, and you can easily burst him down. He can't duel you at any point in the game, as long as he doesn't get the jump on you.”
Ivern OTP says “You ever just not want to play a game because of a champion? Same. Shaco can easily catch you off guard in your jg+easily reset your passive ticking. Also his boxes can block your q. Shaco is now a huge threat now since he can buy that new and shiny lethality item that can deal more damage through shields too!”
RedNBlue says “Master Yi can easily kill Shaco early game as Shaco is just very squishy and Shaco is more middle game than early game. But still Shaco can turn it around if he's smart and can outplay.”
TheSkySaphir says “Easy matchup. If you know he's low and he use an invisibility then quickly R. Since your ultimate is quite big you should kill him. Charm the good one since it stays on the real one.”
Karasmai says “I made a simple set up vs shacos, if he is going AP you go Rhaast if he is going AD you go Shadow assassin. The reason behind this is because of the way he itemizes if hes AP he can get armor and rhaast will just murder him, if he Goes AD he cant build defensive go Shadow will one shot him. The only reason he falls under Medium is cause he can farm fast and gank early and snowball hard so if he does that try to stall the game and outscale. ”
Arfreezy says “An annoying matchup since he can pressure your lanes heavily and he has decent scaling. Take Fleet in this matchup since phase rush won't help you chase him since he goes invisible. In 1v1's you can smite his box and you should win that way unless you really misplay. Play for efficiency and look to outscale him since you won't be able to match his gank pressure, but you can mitigate that with good communication to your lanes and jungle tracking.”
Stratogos says “Shaco is an interesting champ he can go AD or AP.His W can deal half your health and he can 1shot you if fed. You control wards at the places you know he can invade.If you manage to win early and put one lane or two ahead you can win teamfight easily ”
Maile says “Playing for level 6 is your best bet against Shaco. This thing legit snowballs like a machine then falls off a cliff later but games are so fast now that champs that fall off a cliff don't need to worry. You win mid-late as long as you go even or ahead in the early game. He can be super annoying because of his ult but you will outdamage him in any early skirmish. ”
Kindredgarten says “Only a threat if he gets fed. Use your E to mark him before he uses his ultimate clone. You can tell which one is real by doing that, it will only stay on the real Shaco. You can dash away from his boxes.”
FrankynFood says “Not extreme either because I like to switch to sweepers early. And I am always buying control wards as should you. I would go ignite in this matchup.”
Happty says “Not such a big threat, though, his W is pretty annoying, so if you know where is his W, then try to avoid that place while fighting him. A quick tip for his R, run away from him for a bit, the clone will be the one that will chase you and continue to basic attack you.”
SketchtheHunter says “Shaco can really struggle against a behemoth like Mord. Even with the lacking HP of my damage build, he can still struggle to have kill potential on you. Play around his boxes well, or just ult him when you see him place one, and you should be ok.”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Shaco is a very strong champion, but usually won't be invading you a lot early on. Mostly Shaco will be focusing on getting of some early ganks to snowball. Good vision control is key against this champion.”
FrostForest says “Annoying champion that you can never kill. He baits you into taking disadvantaged fights in his traps and can mess up your gameplan heavily.
He's not an issue unless he has a few kills.
Other then that he's just really annoying”
Gumipapucs says “You are a bit stronger at all stages, unless he gets ahead, depends on how the shaco plays, but you can really easily make him not to just look like, but also feel like a clown, as no matter how ahead he is, if he makes a mistake he dies. He cannot duel you early, but he can be annoying and he can definetly cheese you. If you engage on him, you win that. Also, if you E him before he ults, you will know which one is the real one (also with PTA) so you mostly don't end up focusing the clone. If you plan to focus more on farming, try finding him first, before he finds you.”
ScytherKhaZix says “if u get feed Early Blue smite but if you dont Red smite. Try to disable shaco before 6 lvl, until he reaches level 6, he's not that strong against you”
NiceTryVi says “Shaco, like Lee Sin, will invade you. However, Shaco lives in your jungle. When you see him, try your best to be in his opposite jungle to get some camps back, and gank on the other side of the map as well. Avoiding him and alerting your allies to his presence is the best way to beat a Shaco.”
Fresh Diamond says “If he brings ignite, do watch for invades and try to avoid him at least until level 3 or 4. Otherwise, its pretty much in your favor. He's clone and boxes' fear can be annoying or even deadly if a fight, so avoid fighting in the jungle or in compact areas”
ACE4291 says “Depends on his path AD and AP
A good shaco will get his team ahead so counter gank and watch his movements.. his Q can escape your ult range.
watch where he puts his traps so you don't get feared ”
SeaBossBoi says “For the most part assassin type junglers are going to have a tough time, hence your shield is enough to prevent getting one shot MOST of the time in the early game. Without the pressure of being rekt by a jungle assassin your free to snow ball lanes. ”
DjapeFromSerbia says “Almost every Shaco will try to invade and kill you on your top buff. That's one of his only window where he has a very big advantage over you with kill potential. If he succeeds, he'll invade you over and over again, with high chances to kill you, or/and will put a ton of pressure on lanes. If he fails, he'll fall behind, which means you're pretty much safe on invades for the rest of the game, and Shaco will usually have a hard time to recover.”
FalleN3 says “Luckily there are few decent Shaco players out there. In the right hands though, he will cause you plenty of trouble until you get some items. He has as much cheese going for him as Twitch does, and that's saying something as Twitch is a Rat.”
FalleN3 says “Not the most difficult of match-ups but he can still make a game very difficult for you. Eaerly game can be an issue for you, especially his level 2 cheese at your buff. He is annoying to say the least and has the ability to make you use all your damage on the wrong champ (his double)! His (W) JITB can troll you quiet hard, especially if you are using your (R) Highlander. Be sure that you can kill him quicker than he can escape using (Q) Deceive before attempting an all-in.”
Holessando says “Shaco is extremely powerful, has great ganks and can carry the whole game.. he will just sit on lanes and gank, that's all he does... dont let him get fed, or your game is lost.. you have to countergank him, invade him, just do anything to not let him get more and more powerful.. take oracle and pink ward as soon as possible.. i recommend dodging this matchup, better than losing whole game
most of the times i'm banning him
if you're really playing vs him, try to tell your teammates to not push, he will just babysit and kill them all over again, till your teammate will do something like ''open mid''... so they must not push, his invis makes him really good in ganking..
I recommend checking if he's duo with some lane, if he is, he will most of the time camp him.”
Rhoku says “I wrote this as a Major threat because a good Shaco will be nigh impossible to deal with. You are too immobile. But the good news is most Shacos are terrible. You need Sweeper to better track him so that he does not outplay you with his stealth. Your bleed stacks expose him anyways but its better to react faster. Also, make sure to land ANYTHING on him before he uses his ultimate. This is because once he uses his R, any bleed stacks you put on him BEFORE, will stay on him and not on his clone. This means you will know the real one INSTANTLY. Also, his clone is very fun to fight, as you get extra healing from your Q if you hit it. So hitting both him and his clone doubles your heal. Your R does not reset off of his clone but you can get your passive if you stack it 5 times off of his clone. So if you have good attack speed, you can stack your passive on his clone and surprise him and his team with a Flash Q or something. ”
metalhydra273 says “Avoid boxes, don't let him outplay you, and he really can't do much against you. Oracles is nice to keep track of him, just make sure you don't lock down the wrong way. He's easy to deal with provided you play around his tricks, but don't underestimate a good shaco even if the matchup on paper is easy. If he gets an ideal start he may never look back.”
DemacianStandard says “Pretty useless in most cases. The only threat comes in if picked off after a fight, so make sure not to greed for camps. He is slippery but can't do much for his team. ”
NixLychee says “F*ck this champ. Very annoying and slippery, but you will always win an honest 1v1, but Shaco doesn't really do those. Shaco will lure you to one of his boxes, so don't chase him too far.”
brSL7 says “Shaco por ser um champ assassino ele possui pouca vida.
Sabendo disso você pode evitar trocas com ele early game e ir pra cima no Mid-Late Game. E caso vocês estejam de igual para igual você ganha do shaco no x1 apenas com o item da jungle fechado e o level 6”
Xidorian says “Easily escapes any fight whenever he wants. His ulti is also irritating. But the good thing is that his camp clearing is slower than most junglers and he can't one-shot. Shouldn't be much of a problem for you to play against, even during his ulti, just don't chase him. Or focus him. But get oracle lens asap.”
THCrow says “Shacos usually take ignite and due to invisibility is hard to keep track of. they will usually wait out your charm before popping invis . Cannot win early engagements unless he is low. However if you do land the charm during invis he is much easier to kill.”
gurubashi35 says “If he brings ignite, he may try to invade you so pick up an early sweeper. His kits makes it difficult to 1v1 him so ignoring him works out pretty well.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Be careful, a skilled Shaco can easily cheese you early and kill you during your early clears! Have your team ward for you early, and be sure not to focus/Ult his clone when you hit 6. Buy pinks for him later on.”
Udyr uber says “Campeão EXTREMAMENTE IRRITANTE, mas que se você invadir bastante ele enquanto ele está gankando você diminui o snowball dele.
(depende bastante de como o Shaco joga)
Tabi ninja e Guerreiro devem te ajudar nas trocas com ele e faça um Sterak para diminuir o burst dele”
chasemyman1 says “His boxes give him time to assassinate you and you are extremely squishy for him. Use your red trinket to spot him when hes close as your cocoon is hard to hit when he is invisible.”
ChaseMorePlz says “Annoying to deal with, stay healthy and split a lane to direct attention to yourself. With the correct timing this will punish him for going for assassinations.”
Yitastics says “Can easily 1v1 u, has a fear that will fack u up and will counterjungle u and then kill u if ur contesting him. Ask ur team to help u if he counterjungles u and buy Deaths Dance to mitigate his burst”
ChaseMorePlz says “Very hard since he will most likely counter jungle. He will do his own thing so try not to focus on him too much and aim to get yourself to level 6. Buy an Orcale's Lens and buy pink wards. When he engages with his deceive, it is a good time to turn and focus on him. The puff of smoke means that Shaco is nearby. ”
CinderTheSnake says “Extremely tilting to play against. Has a ton of CC and is able to escape. Watch out early because he will most likely cheese you.”
Depresso says “Can make taking Ivern qs a death trap for your allies, combined with the possibility of Daisy losing her mind and randomly attacking the clone when you're just randomly strolling about.
He WILL invade, but you can escape him given your slow unless he walks at you without q.”
Freyhacks says “Xin feels hard countered by Shaco because you cant really use your abilities on a champion that disappears, it will be easier once you get tabi. In order to win this matchup you have to use your full combo on him first and have him react using his ultimate or he stealth. After that, you can use your ult to negate damage or knock him away. Than you press your combo once again when his stealth is on cool down because your cds are shorter.”
chiefdonut says “His early invades can set you super far behind, so be careful and get wards in your jungle. If he doesn't steal camps or cheese you early, you should outfarm him by a large margin. When he is invisble your poison DOT will reveal his location.”
classicnoob says “Play extra Passive,this clown fiesta is anooying,he can invade you early game and just destroy you Get a maw of malmourtius if he builds ap,get armour if he has HEAVY AD.”
bluelunged says “A pain in the ass. A good shaco will constantly invade you and make you regret picking cho. You can ask your teammates to ward your jungle and help you if he comes, which may or may not give you kills.”
Happty says “He's pretty annoying with his W, try to not solo-fight him in early game, as he can go invisible with his Q and stop you from attacking back with his W, try to fight him with your allies or ambush him, as he won't be prepared with his W.”
Eggoman says “Very annoying to kill. You can waste all your abilities on his clone and end up dead or with no flash. Watch out for invades and ask your top laner to ward your topside buff.”
League Of Cursed says “I personally have never had any issues with shaco. It just depends on fed he gets off your lanes. If he looks to get fed off you, just walk away from where he places his box and start to drain him. Its not the hardest fight.”
MetaSolaray says “Shaco is like Rek'sai with plenty of early game pressure, like Rek'sai we answer with Aftershock in turn. Save smites to destory his only box during a gank, as after his Q is down he has no escapes. Ward for your laners so they can see Shaco coming and more importantly you can countergank as with Aftershock and unflinching you outtank his damage. ”
CptTeemoOnDuty says “Will probably invade you, and he is very difficult to catch with your kit. If he makes a mistake you should win the 1vs1 early on. ”
Xeldom says “Favorable match-up. Rengar can one-shot Shaco easily and smite the Jack-In-The-Box to prevent the fear from activating. Shaco's deceive can be revealed with Rengar's ultimate.”
ZLOCO says “Easily escapes any fight whenever he wants. His ulti is also irritating. But the good thing is that his camp clearing is slower than most junglers and he can't one-shot. Shouldn't be much of a problem for you to play against, even during his ulti, just don't chase him. Or focus him. But get oracle lens asap. WATCH FOR YOUR JUNGLE CAMPS!!”
NoLyfe says “Also pretty gay to vs, you're usually able to smack him early game so you don't have to be to scared of him. Late game do NOT hop on him. Most shaco's love to masturbate in bushes with their close just vibing doing whatever, so most of the time you just get feared then infa cc'd. Teamfights should be okay , he can't really peel so again dive backline and you should be okay”
AWierdShoe says “Very annoying but not impossible to deal with. Take sweepers early to reveal any boxes he places and to track him when he uses his Q. Most Shacos try to invade with Ignite/Smite so watch out for that. You should rush a defensive item (Hexdrinker or Aegis into Death's Dance) to mitigate some of his early damage.”
DarkArbalist613 says “Fuck Shaco. You'll have to watch very closely to see where he is going with his Q, and watch for movement patterns when his ult is around as if he fears you you die.”
Comrade Eshgrim says “Pretty much of a skill matchup. Ult if you get caught by him, stack up Mounting Dread on him before he ults (if possible), that way you can easily identify the real one. Track him with Oracles when he bails with his Q.”
Shujin Jasukai says “Shaco can be tricky with his boxes you will probably want to get oracle lens/sweeper early to see where his boxes are. When fighting him use your challenging smite to tell which one is the real Shaco when he ults. you will see a subtle burn effect on the real one if you challenging smite+auto before he ults. ”
Sheepchu says “Shaco will gank every single lane before you can even react. Will rob your jungle and keep you under level. Not a big threat on the fight side.”
Zailent says “Shadow assasin works well against him, but his puppets can oneshot you or just let him escape while youre feared. Rhaast isnt so mobile, which makes it hard for you to kill him.”
QzKama says “A good Shaco will honestly make you question life, ward your jungle and don't greed as he will be cheesing you. He falls off faster and harder than you do so use Sweepers and Pinks effectively”
TimRhabey says “Ele snowballa muito facilmente ,consegue punir muito sua jungle e trocar com ele é impossivel já que ele fica invisivel impossibilitando você de dar AA nele. (Recomendo lente de oraculo level 1 e comprar bastante pinks)”
Hide on Nidalee says “Really hard match, if he gets ahead its over for you. Warding his jungle is a very good idea and just pay atention to do counterganks”
DarkPit59 says “A la façon de Udyr, Shaco est imprévisible et peut effectuer sa jungle -et la vôtre- dans un ordre qui lui importe peu. Il peut ruiner votre early, faire des ganks niveau 2, ou encore vous voler vos buffs.”
Otos says “I personally dont like to play against Shaco, because if he uses copy right u cant land E on him. But Elise can ez win 1v1 against Shaco pre6”
WickedPoppet says “I personally have never had any issues with shaco. It just depends on fed he gets off your lanes. If he looks to get fed off you, just walk away from where he places his box and start to drain him. Its not the hardest fight.”
SavageFy says “Shaco has early game mobility and clear time, but the damage lacks. If they do invade, majority of the time I'm able to just walk away from enemy Shaco junglers.”
Ionia King says “Be wary of him while farming in your jungle, keep your bushes warded so you don't get surprised by a jack in the box > shiv in the back.”
Sorrowful Prince says “His boxes are a hard counter to your engage. His early is insane as well so don't get counterganked. Get deep vision on his camps and keep an eye on him. Ping your team what he is doing. If he snowballs hope for minute 30 when Gandalf will arrive with scaling. Don't flip Herald against this guy.”
Jhanthem says “Can be really annoying if they are really good, use pinks and sweeper efficiently and he should fall off soon enough if you don't feed.”
Ehxakt says “Can invade you and is always where u are. I hate shaco player. Just ignore him in teamfight. You´ll be fine when u reach 15th minute or something like that.”
TrevorJayce says “This is highly dependent on the Shaco player's skill. If you're fighting some random Shaco, you'll have hardly any issue fighting them apart from some annoying clone 1v2s. If you're fighting Pinkward, you'll be questioning your sanity both during and after the match. Hold your second W for the box fear or the clone death fear and you should win.”
Nico449c says “Be aware of hes ignite he usually got you can win the fight even tho if you hit your e on him and burst him down + you gotta avoid hes boxes. Ganking can be tricky tho either try to predict him and countergank hes really weak early so you should be able to win counter ganks.”
jsmolik says “Easily escapes any fight whenever he wants. His ulti is also irritating. But the good thing is that his camp clearing is slower than most junglers and he can't one-shot. Shouldn't be much of a problem for you to play against, even during his ulti, just don't chase him. Or focus him. But get oracle lens asap.
”
KajiKumihoAkukei says “Shaco is a very strong champion, but usually won't be invading you a lot early on. Mostly Shaco will be focusing on getting of some early ganks to snowball. Good vision control is key against this champion.”
briguy1109 says “Probably worth banning, and honestly one of the most annoying champions for Yi to play against.
1. Whenever you fight him, he will use his Q, a flash combined with invisibility, preventing you from using abilities on him.
2. His boxes will fear you, and if in highlander, you will run halfway across the map.
3. Although in a 1v1 scenario it is not difficult to tell the clone from the real one, you will NEVER be able to count on all 5 teammates to do the same.
Win Condition: Ban or Fight him after he has used his Q and R. ”
EdgyBoiKayn says “If he is jungle, just buy Oracle Lens and before fight, check every bush next to you with it. If he is top, You propably can't gank him.”
NegativeSe7en says “Apesar de chato, shaco é fraco antes do level 6, e se estiver sem ignite, mais ainda, use o seu W quando estiver stackado para sair do terror das caixinhas”
The Top Bear says “Shaco can be real difficult to counterjungle, and can shut you down real quick. It is better just to farm up and gank lanes than to invade this guy. Oh, and BUY PINKS!”
RaptorDre says “He is very annoying since he can W and cancel your E with the fear, do his combo and then disengage with Q. He can do this over and over. ”
Kekwarim says “Extremely annoying champion to deal with post 6. Always be ready to use oracle/ w to see where he qs when fighting him. Try to bait out his ult and fight him when his r is on cooldown.”
0kruemlmonster says “If he's good, he'll invade you, set his traps, surprise you and destroy you. Don't chase him, you'll probably run through his traps. Bad at teamfighting and falls off late game.”
jaybae says “Very annoying jungle matchup. His q allows him to dodge ur e quite effectively and he also has his boxes which can block your e from landing. Shaco junglers also usually take ignite which gives them a very powerful kill pressure early game.”
Simphoria says “More of a pain than anything. He will often try to take your buff so be aware of that. He can clear fast and gank often. Likes to do drag at lvl 6 and often times will split push as the game progresses. His deceive can follow your Q so be careful about getting too close to him, but unless he's fed he won't usually kill us.
Late game, be confident in your engages and engage often. ”
Stiers0muLLa says “This fcker is actually not a big threat he can only go invisible wich is fkin broken so you cant kill him and he will go full crit on ya and you can stay in base to make sure he cant be takin easy kills”
LFS_aXent says “A surprisingly difficult match-up. Shaco relies on box fear to back stab, so sweeping lens and at least two control wards at all time to beat this guy. I would even say consider a duskblade against him to deactivate his boxes. Make sure your laner wards your opposite buff so he doesn't steal.”
Lyieru says “Shaco isn't a big threat against you, you have all the weapons that you need to fight him. You can use your ultimate to deceive him and can use your W to clean the boxes and isolate him. Also, you can build Tiamat for the boxes too”
today ill feed enemy team says “If he is good, you will cry of disgusting and question the sense of living.
Against him use your pinks in your own jungle and use oracle lens.”
Hugeli says “Both have invisible so he sees u but u cant see him. With twitch i think Shaco is the worst to play against. Just buy wards and farm safe in ur own jg.”
Japieapie says “Shaco is prone to counter jungle.
This makes him a big threat, because Zac is able to maintain in jungle with very low health early game. Encountering a shaco when you are low and low level could end up in a death.”
VapoSK says “Shaco is a menace for you his R can block your E and he plays with ignite making 1 vs 1 harder to win. Catch him off guard with stun to win this matchup.”
Jerbiii says “I find playing against shaco annoying. He might try to invade you early to delay your powerspike. Fighting against him sucks too because of his boxes that you might run in to. In teamfights Shaco can fuck you up with one box if you have your ult on because i'll go to waste and you might just run into the enemy team while being feared. Qss is very good item against him.”
Jadiac5 says “His boxes can see trough your camouflage and activate when you come near them so be carefull.
Also Shaco almost uses his Q everytime when you have the W fully loaded, even if you hit him when he is invisible, it wont make him visible and the charm will be over when he is visible again. Would be a ban if not for rengar.”
SexyKungFu says “ONLY SHACO DECIDES WHEN HE WANTS TO FIGHT YOU DUE TO HIS Q. MUST RESPECT EXISTING BOXES OR KILL BOXES UNDER 2 SECONDS. MUST HAVE GOOD EYE TO IDENTIFY REAL SHACO AFTER ONE AUTO.”
Theleon says “His counter jungle is very strong, it will be hard to gather darkharvest souls and generally you should ban shaco if you are not used to him. ”
Intello says “This guy. When playing against him it's a guaranteed invade against you. Like Khazix, keep wards up at all times. You can keep him off with your EW if he does invade.
Shaco's usually go Ignite/Smite. If you manage to root him after he goes in on you, you might survive.”
EvilOranges says “It depends. A good Shaco kills you within a second, steals all your camps, and ganks all lanes. A bad Shaco gives you free kills. Don't overthink it, counter his mind games with yours, and you should win.”
The Jhin Cena says “Ward up your jungle because Shaco can potentially counter jungle you which is a big weakness for Amumu. In 1v1s, save your Ult for when he uses his so you can destroy both Shacos. otherwise W > Q > E.”
TheLord110 says “can be hard to play against.
save your Q to open a distance between you and him.
always take relentless hunter against him.
don't go for marks without help.”
Chosokabe says “Ok. So. If there's a Shaco you want Oracles first instead of the regular ward. DON'T WALK INTO THE BUSHES. If he's not hitting you and running back somewhere, don't chase blindly.”
FupiDupi says “He takes ignite just to make things worse :) Luckily Shaco players are usually one tricks and so are less common. If you do run into one, ward often in the early game and expect to be invaded”
NightmareBug says “Shaco is a strong assassin who counters Kha zix because of his Q stealth makes him hard to kill and his R removes your isolation damage”
Anathema49 says “This is a skill matchup and his mindgames can be very annoying if shaco player is good. avoid facecheking bushes and harass your team into constantly warding your jungle. teamwork and vision beat shaco. shaco players are virgins”
Hidenburg says “Shaco pode pegar qualquer um de surpresa, mas se você for paciente consegue virar facil uma luta contra ele em qualquer lugar usando o seu Q acertando o Shaco e seu clone ou uma de suas caixas, isso o deixa em uma tremenda desvantagem, mas essa só é uma opção caso você esteja vivo”
GinWinsky says “Piece of cake. Annoying but doable. He's only strong against you if he's got electrocute and is fed. Anyway, rush Tabi and Thornmail ASAP.”
Deltix31 says “Ses boites bloquent votre Q et il peut vous tuer assez facilement si il vous prend par surprise, évitez d'être prévisible et outsmartez le.”
WiskeyANDGin says “a good shaco is an unkillable one,u wont be able to do anything, the jungle faze is a truly pain, try avoiding counterjungling him,ward your jg and do safe ganks”
xTheUnlimited says “Annoying matchup. Shaco is famous for his invades, so these are the things you really have to watch out for. If he is playing with ignite, what he will do most likely, you should just give your buff up if he shows up. He is to powerful to 1v1 him. To predict his engages is also pretty hard due to his invisibility from his Q. Just protect your carries against him and CC as fast as possible after he shows up.”
ApexZulu says “Shaco shouldn't be able to beat you early, and you can comfortably 1v1 him in the river early. Counter jungling is possible, however I would recommend tracking and counter ganking. ”
craY13 says “He is just annoying as hell. He will counter jungle you as much as possible. If he does so and you can track him in your jungle try to counter jungle as well. If you survive the burst damage you can fight him.”
PenguinOnStick says “Shaco is kind off hard to play against since he has a lot of cc and does all his burst in the beginning so you might not be able to react. Its annoying in late game since his W will cc you pretty hard.”
MaRtOOOOOOOOOOO says “Probably the mos annoying champion to deal with thank god he isn't meta. 100% of the shaco players take ignite instead of flash and due to his annoying kit you 100% lose 1v1s. He will try invading you so ward your jungle and when you spot him try making a play on the oposing side of the map if possible but don't force it if you can't make it its good to just counter jungle him. Most of the players in low elo don't ward that much so shaco can snowball very hard. I will recommend you banning him and if not just pray for him not being against you.”
ChazarPL says “Watch out for invades (especially at his level 2). if you start a trade at level, you can smite him with your red smite, so if he use his R (Hallucinate) you can know who is the real.”
smokeyxde says “This is the champion that I ban. Shaco is the worst matchup for Amumu. His clones will trick you, and his small dolls fear you, so you won't stand a chance to him.”
Rainbow6Six says “you can win against him in any fight, beware of his boxxes. you can't run through them like olaf and he can counter you with that. In short, make sure you have vision of where his boxxes are”
Violzandre says “Be careful with him in early, that's all, use your wards and farm to get the advantage, after that you can easily fight him, escape if he use his R and it's too difficult to win, and don't fight without a pink or something to desactivate his boxes.”
Predated01 says “This champ just gives me a tumor I ban him every game because Shaco players shouldn't be allowed to play this game :). You can catch him doing jungle camps since he uses his abilities + use your traps well to see him. Sweeper also helps.”
Loul_60 says “Shaco is a tough matchup and is a typically strong jungler currently, Shaco is worth banning a lot of the time, especially if he is free to play.
If you do get matched against him, do you best to play passively early and outfarm him (which as Kayn isn't very hard). ”
OddOwl says “This champ can be incredible hard to play against or just a minor threat. It all depends on the Shaco player. Ask your team to ward buffs/jungle entrances early game.”
Asianfury79 says “If he is good he will invade you like there is no tomorrow and with ignite he can kill you easy in early levels and put you behind alot ”
Exhiled says “He can cheese really hard, watch out for the level 2 invades and you'll be fine. His fear is also really annoying to deal with, meditate his combo and it should be really easy.
”
ChumblesProductions says “Pretty easy, if you hit your spear he dies. Use your traps in his jungle so when he hits them you know where he is. Until he gets tiamat he has a bad clear and you can kill him over and over. ”

Tips Against Shaco in Bottom Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Doody_tco says “Luckily this champion is rarely picked as a jungler, and it is even more rare to be picked as support. But when facing shaco, serious pokes and unexpected deaths will occur ”
SkittleBtw says “Dudes really just an annoying clown, but get an Auto on him before he summons his brother and you can easily see which twin is real. If he gets fed he can be a problem, if you get fed, he can still be a problem. But shouldn't really be too hard.”
Redsaturn says “Not many champions more annoying than this one. NOTE when he uses his q he is vulnerable. Take sweepers over bluetrinket or you'll lose the game if he's good.”
yers says “He will be a very annoying support to go against. However he's squishy so usually a stun can lead to him dead, and if you both are level 6 ult him before the stun runs out so that you can basically identify the true one's location and also pitch some extra damage in.”
TheWizardM says “Shaco boxes can really screw you when you try to roam with q. He can also burst you down quite easily and his q is more than long distance enough to escape our own cc.”
QueerJunk says “His boxes are seriously annoying and can mess with your resets and ults. Makes it difficult to dash around aimlessly one shotting without consequences. ”
Terrific says “You most likely win if it is not pinkward on the enemy team. A Shaco support in my eyes is a troll pick because no one plays Shaco correctly. Care for bushes cuz it will have Shaco box in it. And care for his clone cuz he's most likely AP.”
Eccentricks says “Geez, Shaco support is uncommon now due to his Jungle buffs, but it still exists and is still deadly. Be sure to get your support to buy a sweeper like you would with Teemo to seek out the boxes. If they refuse to get the sweeper, do it yourself, you will need it. Try to not die, because his ult is actually quite good at taking down towers fast and he can get a lot of plates off before you come back. I would know, my ranked partner plays Shaco and nobody realizes this until they get back to a one plate tower at 8 minutes in.”
PoroKamiSama says “Shaco is a tricky one if you let him get the jump on you since you have few escapes. Though as long as you are aware of his positioning Song of Celerity should be enough to get you out. Red trinket is your best friend in this situation. ”
SmoreEater says “Shaco Support is probably THE WORST support to deal with using this build. His Boxes waste your predator by fearing you and turning you around, and he has to place them in the open where minions aren't going straight through, and you have to run through that area. His Q allows him to quickly wait for his Predator Mark to go away before backstabbing, his E slows ya down, everything he does counters you, you can even predator his clone by accident.”
