[GAMEPLAY] Shaco Q bug, exit stealth unintentionally. Box targeting prioritization.

I know you have developers such as Phreak that don't really care for Shaco and want to see him fail or even removed from the game, but this champ is the sole reason I ever open the game client. This bug has been around for a while, and I'm surprised it still hasn't been addressed. Shaco's Q cancels his actions in every situation, except if he targets someone before casting Q. This means that if Shaco right clicks on an enemy champion/minion/jungle camp etc and then casts his Q near them, Shaco will automatically auto attack the target and exit stealth. This has caused me to lose games in late game teamfights where I need my Q to escape or get near someone, but since I targeted an enemy beforehand, I leave stealth unintentionally and die. From my teammates perspective, it basically looks like I'm inting.

I'm sorry that I play this toxic champion and I know you have people on your development team that think he's not healthy for the game, but if you're going to have him in the game at least make him function properly. I'd rather you remove shaco than just ignore the state of utter disrepair he's in. This shouldn't be a hard bug to fix, since you can probably just write the stop command into his animation cast, or something like that.

Shaco's boxes also used to target whoever he was in combat with. Now they only attack the nearest target, or whoever has last attacked the box. This isn't really a bug, but this change had to come from SOMEWHERE, and it was never in any patch notes. This just makes me feel like developers have quietly targeted Shaco to make sure he doesn't work how he used to and it's really frustrating to know that I can't rely on my boxes to attack champions anymore. If it's not a bug, can I at least get a statement from someone saying that these changes were intentional?

Don't bother, they never listen (or respond) when it comes to shaco. I posted multiple times over the years a list of bugs and not 1 was addressed ill give you all the bugs:

Shaco just gets attacked even when invis now credit to Imma Gold Digger link to the thread here upon further inspection it seems that shaco's box may have caused a bug were it indirectly shows shaco even when invis.

Boxes do not prioritize champs when Shaco is being attacked (it stopped all of a sudden after a patch it was never supposed to change)

Boxes do not proc magic damage items and runes thus we can't improve utilization of certain AP items or runes.

Attack canceling/not going through an attack when in stealth puts you out of stealth (especially when after popping clone while stealthed)

Shaco clone is unusable after ulting if Cc'd while ulting (certain types of hard CC)

Enemy automatically follows Shaco for a sec after he deceives (Qs). Combine that with them following up with tracking your blue outline if your using any vision can easily follow Shaco movements.

After the mini rework, you can't attack the inhib or nexus with clone by pressing R on them. You can only do with ALT+click.

Beleive me dude I'm one of those people that this champ is the only reason why I still play League. When they remake him and kill his identity of what he used to be, I'll probably be quitting league.
