Why the heck you are buffing shaco for...

He has 52% winrate. RIckless come on dammit you are becoming a sorry meme at this point. Adding a execute on his shiv again is like asking for BIG trouble. Shaco is based on the concept of playing dirty, if you add blunt power to his kit its obvious his winrate will go up

Yeah, and the execute they are adding in is absolutely ridiculous since it is more stronger early game.

It's not that strong early game

Shaco's winrates were often built by mains in the past. If it's 52 right now and he has a low play rate, then this shouldn't be too bad. However, I'm not sure what his pickrate is right now. Shaco isn't top tier right now since the meta favors low economy junglers, I don't think this will push him over the top. A challenger jungler called tarzaned made a tier list recently. One of his tier lists before put Shaco at S tier with Ivern and highlighted his bruiser build. If I remember correctly, Shaco is about Lee tier, meaning he's not problematic. He's unhealthy (unlike Lee) but not problematic

On most jungle camps autoing would often do more damage than using E. The exceptions would be red and blue

In a gank it barely does more damage than an auto if I remember correctly. Now it will actually do more than tickle like how it used to

The buffs aren't a bad thing. I played a damage build for the first time in a while. As of right now assassin Shaco's burst feels somewhat underwhelming and the bruiser build is even more brain dead than Annie

The buff will ruin AP Shaco's damage, Shaco's objective control and his damage to tanks, in theory. It also makes him easier to itemize against

In conclusion, don't worry yet. PBE changes aren't guaranteed to go live (for example the Riven "edge" resource change was busted as fuck and scrapped) and we don't know if this is going to break Shaco

I rarely see him building bruiser. Statistic websites has zero samples of him building bruiser and getting successful results. And I think this balance change is not based on the fact to change that build.

If my teams shaco is building bruiser just for a high cooldown shiv % damage. It looks really troll to be honest since you cant spam it out.

Can you try to check multiple websites

a single source just isn't reliable enough

...You know these statistic websites are basically using the same exact riot api that riot provides right? Changing websites dont magically change the stats provided by riot themselves.

Shaco is WINNING the game with those items without further purchase how is this bruiser its just a burst build with GA on it. Ravenous is hardly built anymore because of how crap it is unless you want sustain or either you are renek or riven.

Tri-force and Titanic isn't what we call a burst build, though. Burst build is usually penetration based, crit based (in late game), or raw AD/AP, and any combination of the above.

This won't kill bruiser Shaco. This change shouldn't be too bad. Before the rework he was fine with his old E. Making it physical damage is probably the most painful change here. This hurts the AP build a lot though
