Let the wave bounce back if he is unaccounted for on your side. - Concede wave control when his camps are gone and he can wait behind you. Forcing harassment under tower gives him the countergank. - Sweep boxes before entering river or jungle choke points. Move as a group so his Q cannot create a free isolated burst. - Check his clone before spending key cooldowns. Kill the real target only after he reveals with damage or movement. - Protect carries from flank fog instead of chasing the clone. Shaco wins late fights when your team splits attention. ## Where Shaco is weak Exploit these in draft and in lane. - Shaco relies on deception and fog, so grouped vision control removes many of his surprise angles. - His front-to-back teamfighting is weak when enemies ignore clone bait and protect carries from flanks. ## Shaco counters: questions ### Who counters Shaco in Jungle?
