Taliyah vs Shaco Counter Pick

At 9 out of 10, Shaco sits among the most demanding champions in the game to play, and the 119 games recorded on patch 16.13.1 suggest the effort is rewarded: Taliyah wins 37.8% of them, and the difficulty computes as Hard.

Nothing in her kit answers information denial. Deceive turns him invisible and teleports him, with the first attack out of stealth empowered and able to critically strike; Backstab adds damage from behind; Jack In The Box fears whoever triggers it. Threaded Volley needs a target that is visible and predictable, and Weaver’s Wall announces itself across a very long distance. Hallucinate then doubles his body at the exact moment she wants to count incoming damage.

The stat sheet compounds it. Shaco deals mixed damage, so no single resistance closes the hole, and her 18 base armour and 28 base magic resistance are both thin. She also carries 550 health to his 630, with the level 18 totals of 2,318 and 2,313 only converging at the very end of a game. His 345 move speed against her 330 removes the option of simply walking away, leaving Rock Surfing along walls as the practical escape. Unraveled Earth laid at a boxed camp entrance is the one setup that reliably catches him. His full kit is on the Shaco champion page.
