Ayyy, another Clone, welcome, welcome! ^_^

At the beginning of playing Shaco it is always a bit hard to use W and Ult correctly and to maximum extend, don't worry :D

Rule of Thumb when playing Shaco: 'If you are on the enemy's side of the map and your W is not on cooldown you are doing something wrong.' Just place them as deep as possible into the enemy's territory and you will participarte in a lot of fights or vision control without actually doing much. Just place them around corners or in the middle of jungle corridors. When fighting and using boxes aggresivly try to set them when your enemies can't see you so you do not spoil the 'little surprises' you prepared for them~ >:^] If you set boxes at an enemy's feet try to wait until they used their aoe so they do not kill them unintentionally. When placed, try to distract your enemy with ult on the first half of the stealthing timer of the box (the time it takes for it to become active/invisible) and your Q on the second half. When they get feared just backstab Crit them following with the full Combo and you're good to go ;D

For Ult, it is always a bit hard to use that at first, I know. The best advise I can give you is to never let the clone stand around or just plainly follow you because this way you won't have any confusion on the enemy you're fighting which has a lot of impact as you will notice. And don't think about the clone as a pet when fighting, but rather a damage buff. For examplification: When you are just basic attacking an enemy in a duell your ult basicly turns into a buff that says: "For the next 18 seconds Shaco's basic attacks deal 75% bonus damage." plus the explosion damage of course. Also, there are a lot of niche little tricks you can pull with the ultimate, but I will let you discover that on your own~ ;D

And remember: Above all those tips one could give you the best way to learn the stuff Shaco does is to experience all on yourself. Imo Shaco is the champ you can give the smallest amount of advises on since his play style is so unique. So if you stick to him and keep playing him you will become a lot better at everything after some time. Have fun ^_-
