What are good ways to counter jungle an AP Shaco?

Question

I like to jungle and am never able to counter jungle AP Shacos due to their boxes. Anybody have some good suggestions? I normally jungle Fiddlesticks.

Answer 1

Many shacos gank at lvl 2 after red. If you see him gank top or bot at lvl 2 with red buff, you know that you'll be okay to steal his blue buff. Basically whenever you see him gank a lane and you're on the opposite side of the map, you know that you're ok to steal his jungle.

Answer 2

Invade. If you stop Shaco early by ruining his boxes, killing him at level 1, or taking his buffs he will not be able to gank as succesfully. He will also not be able to counter jungle you and he will be behind the whole game unless he gets a couple kills from people playing overly aggressive without wards. A level two/three shaco gank without red unless that lane has hard cc has a lot lower chance of success then a shaco with a red buff.
