New(?) AD Shaco build
I'm an AD Shaco OTP, and AD Shaco is in a pretty rough spot lately.
With the current Lethality/Crit builds, it's really hard to be useful after the first 20 minutes of the game.
I've been testing a build that I think has:
- Really good power spikes and scaling
- Really good objective clear speed with BOTRK
- Makes you extremely hard to kill with some Tankiness and low Q cooldown
- Surprising burst and 1v1 potential
I'm not a Challenger-level Shaco or anything. I don't play ranked and mostly hop on just to enjoy playing Shaco. But I love the champion and it's the only reason I still play League, and I think I know Shaco as well as anyone else out there. So I'm not saying this is an OP 99% winrate build. I'm just sharing because it feels REALLY good to play, and you should try it out for yourself if you want to.
I'm also not saying it's never been done before since I'm sure every build has been tested at least once. I'm just trying to popularize it a bit since I just see everyone defaulting to Crit/Lethality.
In teamfights, you basically just one-shot the enemy carry with Voltaic+Dead Man's proc (which is not new) and even if they flash away they have -99% movement speed and BOTRK lets you chase better. The enemy will turn on you, but you'll have your Q up with Navori+HoB. This in turn charges your Voltaic+Dead Man's since your Q stacks them really fast. Then you slap the next person with the slow+burst.
It's just a really satisfying gameplay loop and I have a lot of fun playing this.
The build path is Voltaic > BOTRK > Navori > Dead Man's > Situational
