Also in teamfights there always squishy mages/supports that stay out of reach of your carry/tanks shaco can just decieve from the back or the flank and kill them real fast. At that point decieve is on cooldown so if the enemy is to focus you, yes, you are pretty much dead, but the engaged a fight at that time and splitting forces to kill shaco will cost them the fight quicker than ignoring him.

Good teams make sure they dont leave a squishy target without protection, but whatever protection stays with them will be missing in the first seconds of teamfight and shaco can always wait longer into the fight for those opponents who flee at low health and pick them one by one.

Honestly I find shaco a good jungler, ganker and assassin and I only feel useless when my team is losing teamfights so hard that at no point I see a situation for me to go in and kill something, in those situations yes Im left without much choice but to push lanes and force the other team to mobilize people to gank/stop me, while hardly ever getting to kill me because I "ward" paths with boxes and at first enemy sight I decieve into safety and go push another lane.
