shaco W bug with red trinkets and control ward

alfavhunter·4/26/2017, 9:19:49 PM·1 votes·678 views

so currently item 3341 , item 3364 , and item 2055 currently do not do what they are supposed to do when in regards to shaco's box trap

it forces them to activate instead of simply revealing them

can we please get this fixed as it greatly hinders the reliability and usefulness of shaco's boxes

based on the wording of the linked items it should not activate the traps, yet it does.

how it should work is similar to the on use trinket from twisted tree line

you see them, you can kill them from a distance without activating them, aoe will hit them at this time, but if you ignore them even tho you see them you cant just walk past it, you will still trigger the trap to activate and have to eat the fear or stop for a moment to kill it before you are in range of it.

a similar trap that has an activated when walked on it Jhin traps, yet they dont activate when someone with sweeper walks by or places a control ward, it just reveals them to be killed, same with Teemo shrooms, they dont just blow up when a control ward is placed to where it reveals them, nor do Nidalee traps just activate on nothing

the reason is see this as a bug is because its inconsistant with EVERY other trap and how it interacts with the 3 red items linked above

so please fix this to work properly, even if you have to provide a nerf to shaco's W in return because this is very clearly a BUG due to inconsistency of how every other trap interacts under these circumstances as they all follow the same rule, yet only shaco's traps are having them activate on nothing

I saw this too and thought it was a bug, until I checked here: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Shaco

Here's the quote for it aswell: "Pop Goes the Weasel Upon detecting a nearby Sight icon visible enemy, or** if revealed by a Control Ward, Oracle Alteration or Sweeping Lens, Jack in the Box springs into action**, becoming visible, targetable, and causing all enemies in range to Fear icon flee for 0.5 / 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.5 seconds as well as attacking a nearby enemy (prioritizes the last enemy champion Shaco was in combat with) before expiring after 5 seconds or upon being destroyed."
