Alright, someone has to say this, so I guess I will. Do you know why Shaco is "OP"? Because he's a great noob killer. If you see a jungling Shaco on the enemy team, what needs to happen is your team needs to be very cautious and not push with 50% hp because that's just asking for him to stick his blade in your back. Deceive, red buff, exhaust, and a shiv throw to finish will kill many heroes at 50% hp. Shaco, in reality, is not that good against most melee heroes because Shaco's damage comes from backstabbing. If you're a melee hero and find a Shaco trying to kill you, you will find that you can hold your own against him, if not kill him outright when facing him head on, unless he exhausts you, in which case you are in trouble. If he jumps a caster with a stun/snare, they can use that to help escape since jungle Shaco probably won't have flash, and deceive is on CD. As for the boxes...well of course he's gonna use them to help escape. If he uses deceive to enter a fight, he damn well can't use it again for 11 seconds, so unless your team sucks, he'll be easy to kill. He, like most heroes, is hard to kill if fed. Shaco is dependent on ganks early game; don't give him any kills and you will find he will be underleveled and probably undergeared.
