yeap, if the enemy have a maokai, it just takes 1 sapling to destroy ALL your boxes from afar and many other champions can do the same, lux/annie just to name a few. Shaco is totally viable in rank if you build him tank.Which means warmog+atma+banshee veil. do lvl 2 gank with red buff to make sure you can build wriggle/warmog first item fast. once you get wriggles and warmogs, this is were it gets fun, you can free farm all you want,nobody can gank you, you can last hit creeps amazingly with wriggle proc and escape almost indefinitely with that high hp and deceive. You are now a tanky guy who can flash,wards,stealth and kill towers/clear minion waves very fast,abuse this,create pressure and try not to enter team fights when you aren't tanky enough. Though you have to build banshee veil to prepare for lategame as that's where ap carries get scary and raw hp just don't cut it. In team fights your job is to perma slow one guy and lock him down,be it tank or squishy,no one is gonna focus you and you'll just backstab them for mad dps to cover up for your lack in dps items.If you do get focused, your team will win because you'll just deceive away plant boxes so your team can kite them to it and shiv them AND MORE DECEIVE. remember, the longer you live, the more boxes/deceives/slows you can contribute for your team.
