How about Addressing Shaco's Bugs/AI Issues before Nerfing Again Riot?

So as the Title saids. If Riot is going to nerf Shaco for the 7th time, How about fixing a bunch of his AI/bug issues that haven't been fixed in years:

NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW RIOT!!!!! We have an even worse bug now. Shaco just gets attacked even when invis now credit to Imma Gold Digger link to the thread here This will stay as first till riot fixes

Better clone AI Response

Boxes prioritize champs again when Shaco is being attacked (it stopped all of a sudden after a patch it was never supposed to change)

Boxes can finally proc magic damage items and runes thus we can improve utilization of certain AP items again.

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

Those are the biggest issues I can think of off the top of my head, but over the years I've read a lot of other bugs that Shaco has had that were never addressed. If you still remember a bug please comment below and I can add to the list

When your clone kills an enemy your clone gets the double buff instead of you

Holy shit when did Shaco become the new Mordekaiser?

The bugs are what keeps Shaco's winrate at ~53%... imagine without the bugs, they would need to nerf him Olaf level

These 2 alone would probably cut my deaths in half, seriously. I die so much to cancelled autos I never meant to do revealing me, or somebody going into a bush right as I auto. That plus removing the silly tells from Shaco's ult like dusk blade procs, pings, and other crap.

the bugs like dying when you ult even tho it make you invincible until you and your clone appears? or or ooor coming out Q when near a player for no reason?

You mean where you ult, and ult goes on CD but you die before the ult so you just get a 1% hp clone standing there and Shaco never actually re-appears after the ult? Yeah that's annoying as hell too. If I mis-timed it, fine, but then it shouldn't go on CD.

Nah, Shaco needs nerfs. His mains are advocates for toxic gameplay though, and, according to them, Shaco is always underpowered.

Wish a Rioter would comment on why no bug fixes which a lot have been an issue for years now. Saw one making his rounds in the gameplay forum a few hours ago, fingers crossed
