Quick Answer for Patch 26.20
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.
1
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.
2
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.
