Shaco Counters

The greatest picks outside of lane to counter Shaco include Ezreal, Kai'Sa, and Kog'Maw. These champs are all good at countering Shaco with high win rates over 58%. Even if these Shaco counter picks are not played in your lane, it's not a good idea to play him into one of these matchups. They will usually beat Shaco.

Conversely, if the other team choses either Wukong or Nilah, Shaco mains should seriously think about taking him, as he easily dominates these champions with win rates over 51% against each ofthem.

Avoid squishy champions if you're facing Shaco, as he targets these with ease. Try to choose tank champions that he struggles against, as he might need to change his build and expose himself by getting up close.

Shaco's strength lies in his early game ganks, with his Summoner Spell choices making him a formidable foe. To counteract this, invest in tracking his movements to avoid being caught off-guard.

Shaco's Ultimate R allows him to bait enemies into attacking his clone and then counter-attack. Be cautious around his clone and remember to save your crowd control abilities to deploy against him when his Ultimate R is down.

Shaco may appear to fall off in the late game, as his assassination capabilities diminish when champions start building defensive items. Use this to your advantage and focus on building defensive items to protect yourself from his attacks.

Shaco is vulnerable when his Ultimate R is down, making it an opportune time to corner him. Exploit this by coordinating with your team when his Ultimate is on cooldown.

Always keep an eye on the major objectives of the game. Shaco excels at securing objectives in the early game. Prevent him from building an early game advantage by competing with him for these objectives.

Shaco's clone can cause havoc in team fights. To handle this, focus on identifying the real Shaco and target him instead of his clones to quickly eliminate him from the fight.
