View detailed statistics below: items, runes, and counter builds for Shaco Support vs Lux Support in patch 15.24 (25.24), including win rates and pick rates. With proper study, this can improve your chances of victory up to 70%+ in this matchup.

Statistical Matchup Analysis

While Shaco remains a niche pick (1.4% pick rate, 37th place out of 52 Support champions), Lux dominates the current meta support with 6.5% popularity. Mastering this matchup is crucial for Shaco players - you'll face Lux in the majority of your games. Surprising upset: Despite Shaco's higher tier rating, Lux wins 51.4% of encounters. This suggests Lux's kit specifically counters Shaco's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Hail of Blades + Sudden Impact combination (65.2% win rate) plus optimal itemization Blackfire Torch, Liandry's Torment, Rabadon's Deathcap, and Ionian Boots of Lucidity boosts your chances from 48.6% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision deficit: Struggling in both the matchup and vision control (0.81 vs 0.87 wards/min) demands defensive warding and heavy jungle coordination. Damage doesn't equal wins: Shaco outputs more damage (683 vs 617/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output. Skill-based matchup: Identical KDA (2.40) with 48.6% win rate indicates that macro play, team coordination, and clutch moments determine outcomes more than individual mechanics.

Key aspects of the Shaco Support versus Lux Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Shaco player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Lux player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach.

Shaco tips:

  • Using Deceive over terrain can help you make a clean escape.
  • Try getting items with on-hit effects. These will also benefit your Hallucination clone.
  • Backstab's damage can be increased with increased Critical Damage effects like Infinity Edge.

Playing Against Lux

  • Lux has powerful zone control abilities. Try to spread out and attack from different directions so she cannot lock down a specific area.
  • When retreating with low health, be prepared to dodge Lux's Final Spark, a red targeting beam fires prior to the main beam, so try to move to the side if possible.
