Shaco is one of the best champs I've played, seeing you can do almost anything with him. I use him as a pusher, jungler, ganker, anything. Early game I act more AP, spamming my Jacks everywhere. If you have a good enough teammate, they'll help you by leading enemy champs into the traps. I usually don't jungle early game, since it tends to take a while and makes it harder for your laning buddy to farm. Once I hit about lv6 and buy a vampire scepter, I switch between laning/jungling, based on the situation. If the turret is weak/aggressive enemy champs, I focus on the turret. If you're weak, just keep placing Jacks everywhere to avoid taking aoe dmg. Towards late game, when the team fights break out, you can either help fight or backdoor. Shaco is one of the most annoying backdoor champs in LoL :p He's an excellent pusher; with his ult and minion help, you can take down a turret in one go. If someone comes up to stop you just deceive away. I usually use phantom dancers along with boots to make a quicker escape. If you're joining in a team fight, place your jacks in front first, then send in your clone to deal extra dmg. Depending on the situation (whether the other team retreats or your team retreats), chase weak enemy champs trying to get away, or move back to avoid giving them an extra kill. Playing Shaco means you have to be slippery, so don't attack one champ for too long. Do a bit of dmg, dodge the aoes, decide whether it's time for your team to move back or stay in place. Good luck :)
