Don't Nerf Shaco

Lets be honest the changes to Shaco are an overall nerf. I wouldn't say Shaco is an OP champ right now on the rift, I wouldn't say he is weak either. The changes they are making to Shaco simply make him have less utility and less damage. Compared to other assassin damage Shaco's damage was fairly weak without items, but because of his strong Q stealth and ability to position well for ganks balanced out the damage, and because of the demand from the amount of mana it costed to use a unranked Q stopped him from being a gank monster. Of course with his new Q his stealth is extremely under powered at lower ranks and damage reduced at all ranks. The next move Shaco has in his kit, his W were he places a box that fears and does damage, again was simply nerfed. Riot is trying to balance out the nerf with improved hp scaling, this scaling does almost nothing and the boxes still die instantly to any AOE, which isn't really a problem for most AD Shaco players but I can easily see the fact that you cant stack boxes a real nerf for AP Shaco players, and in no way was stacking boxes OP and certainly didnt need to be removed. Shaco's E also has had its base AD scaling and base damage nerfed, however the execute damage will be nice. His ult hasn't changed much and has generally been buffed, letting it attack while you die will really help out, but the boxes that shoot out after the clone dies are close to useless in most situations. Lastly his passive Backstab is simply another direct nerf lowering its damage significantly, from a 20% damage increase overall to a 120%-140% crit on a cool down.

To summarize, I am disappointed out of all the assassins getting gnarly buffs, Shaco is just getting nerfed. He wasn't OP and he wasn't weak, and I think I speak for all Shaco mains when I say he didn't need the change.
