I was thinking about this situation after thinking about how nerve-racking playing vs Shaco is. Imagine you were afraid of clowns like, hardcore, and you queue up for a game. The jungler chooses Shaco okay, sh*t’s scary I guess. You’re midlaning, and besting your opponent. You suddenly see your midlaner with low health towards you, and you see a clown spawn out of nowhere, stab you, fear you and kill you. And then you hear the evil clown laugh.

I’m curious and now I can’t sleep. How do people with this phobia play. Do they dodge, do they play with anxiety or is it just an in-game clown that doesn’t scare them? Idk but I can’t sleep

EDIT: Thank you for all the replies! I’m reading every one of them and I appreciate them. It’s too much to reply to all of them, but just know that I’ve read them :) Thank you guys

Relatable. I can't play against Elise - except the Death Blossom skin. I dodge her in solo queue, and people have to use that skin in playtests with me internally.

I'm fine with her in TFT though...? And I don't know why because it's the same assets.
