4:50 - this is where you went wrong. I also immediately theorycrafted first strike on him, but the secret is to go prowler's claw, which will buff all of the damage you do in the next few seconds by 15%. This stacks with first strike and lets you straight bonk people.

[@revelmonger]

This^^^^

[@godidi3160]

I was thinking the same thing, cause the Prowler's damage (the flat dmg, not the percentage) is equals to the duskblade's dmg and it even has the added %, and although it has a longer CDR, he has the inspiration tree so he could get some item CDR and maybe ingenious hunter as well

[@ryomi2370]

it also doesnt get rid of shaco q stealth and if u use it in front of them it is a guaranteed backstab crit

[@lozername2743]

Or night harvester

[@Adeptus_acrylicus]

Prowlers claw is definitely the way you work, it does not break your Q stealth to use it also meaning you get a free backstab since you dash behind your target

Ya know who else can almost guarentee a burst that the enemy can't react to...Evelynn. No lie have had nothing but success with First Strike eve. I think one game i'd gotten full build at 20 minutes and had 6k extra gold from it and 6k extra damage. It beat out Electrocute like it was nothing.

[@titanofyoutube4834]

Khazix too

[@russellw.lavigne9191]

Yea, people are too focused on the gold value right now, once people start realizing as long as you start combat (which happens most of the time with assassins anyways) the 10% bonus dmg will always beat out elec. This is very easy to abuse on protobelt champs like eve who use it to gapclose and start combat. Not to mention oneshotting an adc give like 200 gold if they have sheildbow

[@jeph7434]

as an eve main i have to sau dark harvest is much more effective if we're talking potential value but also first strike is just much funnier that i have to use it

[@russellw.lavigne9191]

@@jeph7434 my guy there's a reason no one takes dark harvest on eve. Rune is less dmg than elec 90% of the time and even if you get enough stacks to match elec you're early game dmg is fucked. You need a good dmg rune to get ahead on eve dark harvest just takes too long to scale

[@cynicalcitrus5073]

I pity the Ornn who landed 2 out of 3 shots and gets told "LAND JUST ONE"

[@GameBreaker1055]

I am at 5 minutes and I already noticed the very obviously flaw in this entire plan... Apperantly Skooch was unaware of how little base damage Shaco has early on and how bad his scalings actually are. Shaco lives of the damage provided by runes and items themselves and his kit is only his tool to apply those. I am very sure that the damage he did with First Strike and the damage he got from the items he bought were not as high as the damage he would have done with a Predator/Precision rune-combo. Edit: That moment at 12:50 was hilarious. Skooch complaining that the snared taric somehow did not kill the Karma around 450 units away is the kinda classic LoL-Player vision stuff. Editt: Okay, most of this video could have been put into some kind of "salty noobs compilation" because Skooch just kept screwing up while blaming everyone else for it xD My favorite was him ulting, then not using his clone, taking 2 turrets shots and then complaining about Ornn not hitting his Q and W on a dashing Fiora with her vital MS buff active.

[@zenbon2319]

Fr like he saw everbody coming for him at blue then complains when they get there like he didn't know

And his w as well, you can see that when his knock out passive debuff timer thingy on Fiora got reset.

[@EnternalSword]

Skooch also just kinda took tower shots for some reason, then gets mad at orn when he dies... I love you skooch but you just be blaming yo team there, that was on you.

[@gatorgold4902]

Yea I feel like he got really tilted and aggressive to his team that game for no particular reason.

[@nicolasperez-picasso5357]

Yeah that wasn't the Ornn's fault, he hit everything except his e knockup. Which is hard to hit on a dashing champ when you can only knock them up in one area that's in the middle of the lane.

[@Bowdeli]

Ornn missing his stun was pretty rough, but he also didn’t use his mark after he hit his W, which is the main damage source, instead he decided to dash to a place where Fiora very obviously isn’t instead of dashing into her and knocking her back and consuming the mark

[@michals2205]

[@yorujin_1121]

3 prime examples of how delusional league players are 8:29 "unsuccessful game" being a 3/0/1 shaco at 14 mins. That's prob the most decent lead on Shaco 14:06 Invading enemy blue, while mid is at base, your botlane losing and doesn't have prio, enemy jg is obviously gonna be at his blue. 14:59 Ornn landed R, Q, His E misssed because Fioras q autolocked on you. But in the end it's meant to be entertaining, but shows how in the moment league players ego is through the roof as they didn't do anything wrong or the game going good/bad based on their perception.

[@kamilnurkowski]

Facts! That poor Ornn landed everything he possibly could!

[@sqentontheslime1967]

Not all league players thankfully, but that’s definitely the reason I unsubbed from skooch. This series, at least as far as ideas go, is cool because of the ideas and seeing how they fail/succeed, but it was pretty hard to watch this.

[@PogaltaEditz]

The only point here that stands is the last one. Firstly; unsuccessful because his team got shit stomped overall. Secondly; because myself and many others have never seen a FOUR MAN ROTATE for BLUE BUFF in a normal, unless they are all premade.

[@blop-a-blop9419]

League is Cocaine

[@ChaosImmortal]

Thankfully someone pointed this out, he whined way too much that second game and he had such a lead in the first. On a different note i play this rune on shaco sometimes and i think the stormrazor is hella troll, he'd get more worth going deadmans instead, also third item shoulda been LDR for the first game with all them tanks and graves grit draining poor puppet mans soul

[@Moxie2017]

This just popped into my mind, First Strike on Fiddlesticks! You can 100 to 0 like 5 people in the mid game which benefits from the 10% extra damage and you also gain a ton of gold for something like deathcap

[@gamingknight4763]

Isn't first strike only for 1 target?

[@ACatNamedJat]

That Ornn literally hit every ability he threw out other than his dash knock up, and that was because she used her dash as he used his, please go back and look at that clip again. You also typically don't tax your laners after getting a kill, and pushing their lane out of prime position for them. That was a little over the top and boosted my friend. But I'll excuse it this time. 14:36-15:17.

So, I did some math, and if you q to someone, time your ult passive and use w, because of these items you'll do 265% ap damage, 725 mixed damage, and 150% base attack damage all in one leap and auto-attack Buuut, because Jax is, well, jax, he will do that again in few seconds, and a lot of damage in between those two.

Idea for next bronze theory crafting. A build I myself use. Nautilus Predator, omnivamp, zombie ward, relentless hunter (the ms one I might be wrong with the name) Inspiration or precision secondary. Items Goredrinker->plated->bork->dead mans/wits end->axiom arc (if you're feeling spicy) Your burst deals close to 3000 damage and stuns and slows the opponent meaning you are almost guaranteed a kill from a hook on any squishy.

Both assasins bot can appear out of nowhere with all the bushes bot lane, and can bully the hell out of an adc and support. Khazix evos w first and he is suddenly a catcher with 60 or 90% aoe slows and as much burst as his adc. If you can maintain vision control bot, its just way too bullshit to deal with 2 high burst assasins with lethality. You can either burst the adc or the support almost instantly, and all but the heavies tank supports right after. It snowballs hard too because if the kungler comes down, just another poor bastard to put your early game burst and mobility on.
