In this loop
Sweeper out, then a Q jump into the baron pit, the only opening in an approach that's otherwise fully zoned
The ult drops the clone mid-stride, continuing the same Q-jump path so it reads as a second body jumping straight into the pit behind me
A box lands dead center of the pit entrance while the clone keeps running the same route
Jax and Galio catch the clone at the doorway, and its death plus the box plus a baron AOE stunlock them both on the spot
Already clear down the river, safely away from the pit while the stun holds
Jax burns Zhonya's from a safe distance, still not willing to walk back in blind

Zoned off Baron entirely, so I sent someone who was never really there.
Zoned fully off Baron with no clean approach and no real fight to make, the only live option on the table was a jungler hail-mary into a pit we couldn’t actually contest. Instead: sweeper out, then a Q jump into the pit entrance, taking a few extra steps first to leave room for an escape path. The ult drops the clone mid-stride along that same route, so it reads as a second Shaco jumping the wall behind me rather than a decoy. A box lands dead center of the entrance while the clone keeps running the route on its own, and by the time Jax and Galio catch it at the doorway, the clone’s death, the box, and a baron AOE stack into a stunlock on both of them, right as I’m already clear down the river. Jax burns Zhonya’s from a safe distance a second later, still unwilling to walk back in on a read he can’t confirm. That hesitation is the whole play: the rest of the team closes the gap, steals the baron, and sweeps the follow-up kills, turning a fight we had zero business winning into the tempo shift that decided the game. The idea came from a Shacomains post about stealing baron the same way, Q in and let the clone eat the pit, which is a different bet than my usual harass-and-stay-safe pattern of sending just the clone over the wall. That version is safer. This one, through a harder entrance, is the one that actually turns a game.
