Introduction
Hi, I’m Gyro, a Shaco OTP who has been playing League of Legends since Season 3 and maining Shaco since Season 7. I started taking the game seriously in Season 8, focusing on improving my mechanics, jungle knowledge, and overall macro.

Mechanics
At first i want to mention one of the biggest mistakes i continiously see on Shaco-Players. DONT USE Two-Shiv Poison EARLY. Seriously hold onto your Two-Shiv Poison and keep AAing till your either you are out of range or the target is in execute range. Also your AA´s slow while Two-Shiv Poison is off CD.
Always take your time to position for a Backstab when you initiate withDeceive, this the most crucial dmg output in the whole kit.
Use Jack In The Box to block enemys escape path in choke points or to block high impact skillshots(e.g. Dredge LineDeath SentenceBone Skewer)
UseHallucinate in fights to dodge all kind of incoming spells. (eg.RequiemLight BindingSolar FlareChain of CorruptionGlacial PrisonEnchanted Crystal Arrow). It is also possible to get over thin walls withHallucinate, the most important ones are at the Baron- and Dragon pit for an epic escape after the steal.
Jungle Pathing
Identify your lane matchups and path to a lane with gank set up or low mobility enemys. Go for a full clear everygame unless there are free kills on the map (80%+ gank successrate).
Place 2 boxes on the first camp and start your full clear. Always try to Backstab as much as possible to maximize clear speed. You should be first to arrive at scuttle vs most Jglers, use this advantage to place a box or ward and if they contest you might force first blood or a free Flash.
Objectives
Dont try to take solo Drakes without Hallucinate, it will mess up your tempo and the enemy jgler can contest easily. Wait for a prio laner to help you or wait for your Hallucinate. This doenst apply for Grubs or Herald wich both should only be taken when free or as a cross map play, they are not worth to risk when topside is weak.
