I respect him for being a great player and knowing how to have fun with it, and I'm sure that's something people can't disagree with considering how much he commits to the game. When it comes to his videos, one comment I saw put it nicely and I wish I could find it but it's long gone in the cesspool of YouTube comments...
Basically in his older videos he's got wittier humor that (depending on the video) overlaps clips of great plays. He would throw in occasional shouting which was appealing at first for its spontaneity, but now he's constantly yelling (or "screaming about random shit" like you put it) and really lost his flair; the things that seem to stand true are his quirkiness and skill. I think he used to just be more laid back (e.g. clips containing him and Skype friends with their chat during the game being more common rather than just soliloquies) until he got his exposure. Some people like it, some people hate it, and personally I don't mind it. I still love him, and I'm glad he reached challenger
also since i haven't posted here before my summoner name is OhYesImFresh for the op, i don't play that often because i'm that guy with the bad computer but i can talk like i know what's up
I feel the same way. It is as if he either ran out of ideas and started doing the same stuff over and over, or he was trying too hard to appeal to the kids that like someone screaming for no reason. It just doesn't feel the same anymore.
paceboys the more he yells, the less funny he gets. You can even see the slump...(first video is from 2011, second 2012, third 2013). The reason I like his "Escape to bleh" videos is because it's just him making witty remarks over funny clips, like his earlier videos.
It seems 80% of the videos he posts anymore I don't find good, and from watching his 2011/early 2012 videos, it's clear he's missing a lot nowadays.
Because SoloQ sticks to the same meta. I'd hate to be a top laner and have some random dude stay in my lane for the whole round too because then my bot lane would lose and the duo top strategy would go down the waste.
It happened to me like yesterday. The jungler (lee sin) got his red and went directly to lane with pantheon. They had alot of pushing power with the relic shields and it was horrible for the solo laner who was a nasus
Well not too much I can say about the mis-matchup (still definitely plausible to win, but you don't have enough experience in the game), but I can teach you how to fight as rumble if you want. He isn't as hard as you think once you understand his concept.
Use Riven's abilities to dodge Rumble's as you get in close like a ninja.
(Riot has 0 fucking clue how to matchmake. All their alogrithms are terrible, so you're probably going to be matched against some ridiculous team with, as shown above, 2 gold V's with the highest on your team being Silver III. Especially in normal 5's)
Oh my god playing against Teemo with the new vision system is terrifying. With the removal of Oracles, it's like you're playing a mini-game of minesweeper.

I did a bit of experimentation, I know it's not really valid as I don't have full runepage/mastery but it's interesting to share
So, I did both buffs as Shaco (tested in solo custom):
1. I had to tinker around with my masteries/runes a bit. I had 3 greater AP glyphs and a couple of AP masteries, though I still stuck mostly to AD masteries. I had 12 AP in all, but the amount you need is enough to have +2 damage on boxes; I'm not sure what this amount exactly is.
2. No special items or anything needed. Just a normal start. Place boxes at the back of the blue buff from behind the wall. Place your first box at 0:56; placing it at 0:56 is important because if it is any earlier, even 0:55, it will despawn as soon as the buff spawns. Proceed to place 3 more boxes.
3. Around 1:45, you should have placed the next 3 boxes (totalling 4). Quickly run to the red buff and take it down (with a smite if no leash, which is feasible). In the meantime, your boxes should take down the big blue golem, giving you the blue buff, but not killing the blue lizards (more on this will be explained later). You should have both buffs around 2:20 (and the red lizards taking up a few seconds more).
4. This will not give you level 3, though. Even if you have both buffs, double buff doesn't give you level 3 as of 3.14. Instead, you have to clear one other camp (which I chose Wraiths, clearing around 2:50).
The interesting thing is with Patch 3.14 is that the main jungle route - double buff, or single buff then wolves and wraiths, doesn't take you straight up to level 3, which means a lot of junglers are struggling. Shaco can clear both buffs faster than most other junglers with this. He has always been able to do this, but now he does not need exp/cdr runes because it won't really help him.
Now, there's one clear problem: the blue buff lizards won't be cleared, blocking the respawn timer until you deal with them. The way to rectify this problem is simple: you can have top/mid clear the lizards at 1:55 (but not the blue golem), giving them a bit of exp. Again, this wouldn't be viable in 3.13, as you wouldn't have lizard exp, and therefore not level 3 - but now, all junglers don't get level 3 right away. Of course, getting a leash like this depends on your top/mid laner, leaving you a couple of things to think about:
1) Will your top/mid laner "leash" you by clearing the lizards? If so, you have nothing to worry about and can get a fairly early level 3 gank.
2) If not, then you have to consider carefully. You have to make sure the earlier gank is worth the belated blue buff respawn.
Another thing, though you may have already thought of it: if you get invaded at blue or red, you are going to be behind, making this a gamble. You have to consider the risk of doing something like this beforehand.
One last note: the clear times are subject to change, because I'm no professional Shaco player, nor do I have a full runepage or mastery page
Just wanted to share my idea of Shaco in 3.14. I doubt he will actually be played like this, but if you've got a cheesy lineup, this can help contribute to it quite well, as you've got a fast clear as well as a good early gank
EDIT: This is assuming Shaco jungle is even viable anymore - from what I've read, a lot of junglers were hurt by the patch changes, and that 2-1-2 lanes are viable now with Relic Shield.
