I completely vouch. Every time i play shaco now, AP or AD (AP tought me how to play shaco overall, so it improved my AD as well) ... I get atleast a 2:1 kdr, with a good amount of assists. BTW: Instead of lich bane, if they can easily nuke you down in like half a second if you're in the middle of the fight trying to snipe a carry with lich bane, how do you feel about gunblade as a 5th item? R/1/2/E and their carry is dead... Plus, 200 life leach per shiv is very useful.
Thanks for enlightening me to the James Bond of LoL characters. I love him in every way. He's viable at my elo, at least (i don't play as much ranked, cuz i play with my d2 guild friends)
