[Not a rant]Shaco changes to make him less obnoxious to both the enemy and Shaco

So I play Shaco jungle pretty often(my main is on EU but those forums just suck) and since I know how obnoxious it is to have an enemy Shaco stealth for half of the game while also having a flash tied to the stealth but I also know how obnoxious the low range and small slow on his E is to the Shaco player.

How about making a power shift on him, no nerfs just changes to make him less of a pain in the ass -reduce the stealth duration on his Q -increase range and slow power on his E on a side note I also think that his ult should have its scaling reduced and the base dmg improved because as AD the dmg is virtually non-existent but the ult is used for different purposes anyway

And of course a visual update is a whole different matter^^

so what do you think? (poll below)

He's annoying as an enemy with the stealth, that's for sure. It's his identity though. If I wanted to play a champion with less opportunities to stealth and a longer range slow I'd go on rengar (I'd imagine his ult cd is longer, I don't play either though).

Stealth also has counterplay (e.g. Pink wards, or for ganks even just warding deeper than normal to see him before he stealths). As much as I may dislike Shaco, I like him as he is (if that makes any sense).

It's his identity to be annoying? Sure keep the stealth but lower the duration.

I see nothing in your changes that a Shaco player would want over what they have. The E range is plenty long, covering more distance than a flash.

If you want a bargaining chip to get Shaco players to consider a nerf to the Q, you have to give them something else to be sneaky with. That something is a better Clone. A clone that can mimic jungle buffs, potions, etc.

I didn't want a bargaining chip, those were just my feelings from playing Shaco, but I guess I am the only one who feels like this

If there were to be any changes to Q I would want something really really awesome within other parts of his kit.

His Q is what keeps him alive. Shaco isn't a tank, he isn't a bruiser, he is barely a fighter when built with some tankiness.
Can't tell you how many times I barely got into a bush at the last tick of invisibility on his Q which saved me.
They already nerfed his Q by quite a bit and reduced his slow. He just needs some QoL buffs, especially to his clone. shaco is annoying, it's just what he is and who he was made to be. If his stealth gave him move speed in bushes and let him throw a spear for half anyone's HP then I would be more ticked.

If shaco gets caught without his Q, he dies. Right then and there.

Ps sorry for any grammar/spelling mistakes, my phone isn't "hip" to league lingo.
