Playing against Shaco
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
Buy control wards: Shaco's Q makes him invisible, control wards reveal him.
His clone (R) doesn't have the same items — hover over it to check, or wait for it to explode to identify the real one.
Boxes have an activation delay — if you hear the sound, Flash or dash immediately.
Ward deep: Shaco's ganks come from unusual angles thanks to his Q. Vision neutralizes him.
