When playing on the same side, you should expect to see an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Combined, these two should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.
Although, by aligning Nocturne and Shaco together, you probably will not be providing your other allies a great deal of utility. We recommend you include other champs on your team that fills this gap in their capabilities.
Regardless of the skill of your Shaco ally, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
