[GAMEPLAY] Shaco boxes unable to proc dark harvest in patch 8.24

with the recent 8.24 which nerfed dark harvest's damage and ability to proc on things like liandry's i have noticed a bizarre bug where shaco's boxes are unable to proc dh either, i am very confident that this is unintended as before this latest change they could proc dark harvest, similar things like zyra's plants and teemo shrooms (personally tested) can still proc dh after the change, there seems to be no reason to make a special exception for shaco's boxes and the wording of dark harvest directly implies that it would be activated by shaco's boxes. i feel that this is a relatively impact full bug that can very feasibly have a big impact on a game (in my case has). (extra note: shaco boxes have ALOT of other weird interactions like this but i feel most of them rarely matter, stuff like shaco boxes not triggering liandry's torment, luden's echo, etc)

Shaco box isn't proc'ing comet either; Riot needs to fix this, the bug as a whole hurts AP Shaco so badly.

nobody takes comet on Ap Shaco though lmao, Ap Shaco will take Electrocute, Dark harvest or Phase rush

It's not a bug, they made on purpose. It's a nerf. Read the patch notes

patch notes regarding dark harvest say "can no longer proc off other procs (ex. scorch, liandry's orment) aside from luden's echo, whose effect is built to behave like a separate ability" i dont think it makes sense that shaco's boxes would be considered a proc like liandry's, especially when other static traps (eg. teemo shrooms) aren't.
