[GAMEPLAY] Shaco Q (Deceive) is not visible in fog of war
I'm not sure when this bug was introduced, but Shaco Q's smoke particles (the puff of orange smoke) is not at all visible in fog of war anymore. You used to be able to look at entrances to a lane, for example, to see when Shaco uses Q to gank you; now, however, you see nothing. This includes if shaco is in a botlane bush and q's into the lane -- the lane opponents do not see the shaco q cast.
Unless I'm from a different timeline or something, you used to be able to see shaco Q in fog. I can't find it mentioned in any patch notes either. This could perhaps be part of why shaco has a much higher winrate, especially in low elos, after his mini 'rework'?
====================================================================
Steps to reproduce:
- Load up a custom game with shaco as your opponent. Items are not required.
- Have the shaco move to an area that's fog of war to you (bush, around a wall, etc.)
- Have the shaco cast Q in any direction, including towards you
Expected result: You should see shaco Q smoke particles in the fog of war despite not having vision Actual result: You don't see shaco Q smoke particles and thus are completely surprised when shaco appears on top of you
