haha if your one of those people who simply look at the ratios and deceide that makes it viable. . .then go ahead and do whatever you want, your more then likely going to suck either way.

yes his boxes pack a punch when your ap, but using boxes as a main source of damage and not just as an assistance requires a number of things : for you to spend time laying a handful in one spot ( while your doing this you arent doing anything else useful ) , and requires opponents to be stupid enough to walk into your traps or be baited by you into them. only a complete moron chases an ap shaco into bushes ect. your shiv isnt any better ap over ad, and the damage from your ult is not something you should be building around , since your going to have no ad , your clone will also have no ad. . .which means he is no real threat to anyone, same as you , so they enemy team can just kite and pick you and your clone off from a distance. and if you hang back and just send your clone forward to dive someone, do you really think they are going to stand toe to toe with it when it explodes?

that is the entire problem with ap shaco, and why he is considered unviable. it relys totally on poor coordination and descions from your opponent, against any competent teams it will be next to useless , as ap shaco has even less teamfight presence then ad.
