Quick Answer for Patch 26.20

  1. Clown College

    Prismatic

    Gain Deceive Summoner Spell. Deceive: You teleport and become Invisible. Your next Attack while Invisible deals additional physical damage. When you die, spawn an exploding box that deals a large amount of magic damage and Fear nearby enemies.

    Why on Shaco

    Clown College adds a Deceive summoner spell alongside Deceive (Q), giving you an extra teleport, Invisibility and empowered attack, plus a fearing box on death.

  2. Dashing

    Prismatic

    Your dash, leap, blink, or teleport Abilities gain 200 Ability Haste.

    Why on Shaco

    Deceive (Q) is a teleport, so it gains 200 Ability Haste and you can go invisible and reposition behind enemies far more often for Backstab (passive) attacks.

  3. Infernal Conduit

    Prismatic

    Your Abilities apply an infinitely stacking Burn, dealing magic damage over time. Your Burn effects reduce your basic Ability Cooldowns.

    Why on Shaco

    Your Two-Shiv Poison (E) throws apply Burn, and your Burn effects shorten basic Ability cooldowns, so you throw shivs and place Jack In The Box (W) more often.
