Can we just make a Shaco megathread and be done with this?

We've had a ton of shaco threads in Gameplay lately that get cross posted across multiple discords and subreddits. Normally this wouldn't be an issue except how hostile these threads are getting and how any real discussion is completely shut down.

Comments fall into three sections:

  1. Suggest a buff or imply shaco is weak: automatically upvoted

  2. Disagree in any way: automatically downvoted into the dirt

  3. Throw insults at people who disagree: automatically upvoted

We're getting a couple of them a week now and every single one is the same shtick. We had this problem with r/rengarmains 2 years ago and the solution was to get some of the more calm, level-headed Rengar mains get together to make one centralized megathread and pin it to Gameplay for a week. The centralization allowed it to be moderated more easily instead of these flash mob style threads that are too far gone before moderation can react. This format allowed for more civil discussion and even got a response from the lead of the Rengar rework team. These flash mob style ones that keep popping up are far too hostile minefields that could never dream of getting a red response or rational discussion.

Can we do this again? It's getting out of hand

Yea shaco mains have a tendency to be incredibly toxic

Just stick them all together so the sane don't have to listen to them saying shaco is super unplayable because how horribly weak he is despite the fact he has a good win/play rate in all elos but iron-silver

Most shaco abusers (people who exclusively play him when strong) are massive dicks. I would hope he gets a buff, but maybe A tier, not S
