Shaco Nerf?

Hello there, I am Teemo Doom Bot, a current Silver Shaco and Teemo main. I have been hearing, as well as watching videos about the upcoming shaco nerfs and honestly, why is Riot trying to ruin, a champion that they already destroyed? I don't mean to sound like a complete and utter Salty Sally but I have been playing Shaco since his release (October 10, 2009) and when seeing every nerf, and now the rework that have come his way, I sincerely believe that Riot is trying to remove Shaco from the meta, and keep it on the down low. Now, this nerf is a target of Assassin/One-Shot Crit 's as well as quite a bit of AP- As it has been stated:

"Deceive (Q) AP ratio lowered to 40% from 50% Two-Shiv Poison (E) AP ratio lowered to 75% fro 90% Hallucinate (R) explosion damage lowered to 200/300/400 from 300/450/600" This Deceive nerf is something that will be affecting a lot of the current Assassin Shaco 's due to, how it scales with his AD, the mixture of the AP nerf with already, the Invisibility timing has ruined Shaco in multiple ways.

-It has made ganking more compact, and harder to accomplish due to the decieve cut off before reaching an enemy champion -Deceive is a major part of damage with both AD, and AP shaco, without it's current Ap scale, it can potentially kill any AP-Assassin shaco players with the up-coming seasons. -Shaco relies on deceive to escape, as well as counter play an enemy champion when low, with the combo being Q, W, R, AUTO, E, Q for most Assassin Shaco's. Every nerf said here, will ruin this combo, and make the shaco that we all know and love something that will never be played, and trust me. For the players that want the skins now, just wait until they can't do anything with Shaco . Every hard nerf has it's currency fails.

So Riot, if you would please. Refrain from touching Shaco anymore this, and next season. Just wait to see what the season brings.

With a Gamer's Heart, Têêmo Doom Bot

I've said it before i'm pretty sure Riot is trying to put Shaco in the Evelynn state. Where they admitted they didn't want anybody playing her until she was ready for her rework. They're doing the same to Shaco. Why? I don't know. Riot just doesn't like him the way he is for some reason.

Hello there, I'm 2mln mastery points Shaco main, following with Kled and Teemo (lol). I used to main AD Shaco, playing him like 2 years or so. I think AD assassin is killed, but after AP ratio was moved from Q to his passive, damn AP is still very stong, must say. I mostly play normal games on plat/diam elo, and I am Plat, 3 seasons in a row. I just go 45% cdr, maxing E then Q 3 points and then max W and finish Q at the end to lvl 5.

I don't think Shaco is bad now, if u play him right: https://eune.op.gg/summoner/userName=fredriks
