Not viable meaning no one should play him in ranked when there are better picks that fulfill the same role. There's a good reason why no pros have really played AP Shaco in tournaments when money is on the line.

Yeah, this Shaclone guy has made it his thing to play an underplayed niche champion like AP Shaco and has had some success. With the same level of skill, other picks could easily wreck AP Shaco. With the popularity of Lee Sin, Vi, Jax, Olaf, Shyv, etc... Just about everything that an AP Shaco would be weak against. He doesn't quite have the burst or tankiness for his team.

And honestly, if I see my teammate going AP Shaco, it usually means an uphill battle for our team if we want to win. I don't know a lot of people who think, "Nice! We have an AP Shaco! This game's in the bag now!"
