I'm happy for how the shaco rework turned out

I think the new shaco is much better and healthier than the old one especially. I feel Riot fixed the cheesy early game of old shaco or at least made it so trying to invade at level 2 is just as risky for Shaco as it is for almost any other jungler who tries to invade. I'm also happy that AP shaco is better and actually viable now. There are so few AP junglers who aren't tanks that it feels like a breath of fresh air for me in the jungle. Personally I'm not a fan of Nidalee's assassination playstyle since its more like long range poke mage than assassin for me. While the other AP assassin jungle being Elise which is fine but just not really my taste. I like getting up close and personal as an assassin and new Shaco really lets me do that while also being AP that I don't feel is satisfied as the previously mentioned AP assassin junglers. zz The only change I would like to see is his activation time decrease and trap size on his ultimate increase with each new rank.

I don't main him but I have played him enough to be decent with pre assassin update but I'm glad that was your take away from my post.

I agree too for the most part. I am not the most fond of the e change and they need to fix the glitches to his passive (which they said in another post they will address in patch 6.24) but, other than that I really enjoy it.

I have been experimenting with a really strong bruiser build. item 1409 or item 1413 , item 3748 , boots of your choice, item 3742 or item 3001, item 3041, item 3146. The stacks are easy to keep since you are tanky so by the time you start stacking for mejais, as long as you aren't too far behind; you don't loose them very easily. This build got me the two mastery level 7 tokens I needed for shaco over the course of three games.
