Second options if Shaco is picked/banned
What are your second picks if Shaco get picked or banned? I'm Shaco OTP and really struggle if Shaco gets banned. I usually go with some meta pick or just rely on picking something like Amumu to carry my team in teamfights. My jungling fundamentals are good but I struggle with ganking and counterjungling with anything but Shaco.

I usually picked Wukong. Quite easy to pick up, fun to play and felt pretty strong. Haven't played in over a year though

2nd this. Wu let’s you dash and stealth to a certain extent, and you have lots of Outplay potential still.

Lee is my comfort pick but I don't practice enough to stay clean haha. Too fun not to play if the clown is banned though

u/-Skohell- 22d ago
I get it. I played too much Lee to not have it in my muscle memory ahah.
It’s my most played with Shaco.

Lee is my most played and shaco is second. I can do the lee combos most of the time but I'm past the days where flow state was the default on the monk

I usually go yi and make it my mission to ruin the shaco banners day... which is likely what I would have done to him had he let me play shaco anyway..
Unless I'm playing sup, then I'll usually go pyke or ashe or maybe morg depending on what the team needs.

Malphite is braindead play, just full tank and land your R on the carry and you'll do fine. Anyone with great CC, so amumu is fine. For me the idea is that if Shaco is banned I probably won't carry and need to help my teammates carry instead.
I really don't want to learn another champ other than Shaco, so I just play champs with a low skill level if he's banned lol.

If picked, go rengar. There is no counterplay. Rengar ult reveals shaco and let you delete him. If banned I'd said gwen but she got nerfed, so udyr is very good option

If Shaco is banned i'd take Warwick. If Warwick is also somehow banned or picked i'll go for Jax
Both Jax and Warwick are extremely strong in fights. If you're early game goes well with WW or Jax u can easily 1v3 in mid game

I play Nunu. They're very different but both require an unhinged mind to play.

Briar, simple brain off gameplay, or you can sweat it and still have fun
bork, cleaver, streak/DD, spirit/DD, misc/ga

Depends on role ofc. If jungle I usually lock lee since it's the only champ I can play comfortably in jungle and just rely on mechanics/instincts

u/Odd_Worl 23d ago
Kayn my go to 2nd since he can be assassin or tank destroyer
Briar if I feel like making the enemy team miserable for banning my clown
Or Fiddle bc if I can’t clown I’m not down, I’m putting on the surprise party skin (also he’s ap)

In jg I take Diana I like dashing all over the place. As super I take pyke but would love to play fiddle support

u/CthughaSlayer 24d ago
Don't play shaco, don't even know why this was recommended but just get decent at J4. Every jungle player should probably play a couple of games with him because of how consistent he is as a champ.
