Shaco is good. He wil always be good but his constant un-warranted nerfing has made him nearly un-playable for an in-experienced player. And by inexperienced I mean non mains of him.

Shaco is the definition of a Carry jungler. Without alot of farm and ganks he is useless, he relies on snowballing his early game, soloing drag at level 6, and then killing you every time you enter your jungle. If he can accomplish 2 of those things he can carry his team. But it takes a very very smart and clever player to exploit Shaco to his full potential as he is one of the 5% of champions that are played like no other (plus mega nerfed holy shit hes been nerfed) and have a near infinite skill ceiling you can climb to. Much like Lee Sin.
