While statistically Lux is slightly stronger than Shaco as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
The magic damage that Lux deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Shaco deals primarily magic damage (71.79%), additional magic resistance may be required.
An important advantage of Lux is superior vision control (ranked 29th among supports) (versus 42nd for Shaco), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Lux player to maintain constant pressure on Shaco, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
