RIOT, i want you to experiment something (Shaco related)

Shac Norris·Dec 21, 2015·1 votes·575 views

So many people believe that his boxes are a toxic mechanic since you can get so much cc out of them if they're placed properly.

And at the same time, having people run away from your box (basically what his fear does) is kind of a pain in the ass when laning as Shaco

So here's my suggestion

Remove the fear on his boxes, make them slightly tankier and replace the fear with a ~0.2 - 0.5 second stun (that stops dashes, because having to stack 2 boxes on top of each others is a toxic mechanic which can only be used in certain circumstances) and a ~1.5 second slow afterwards.

I don't have the time right now to write the whole reason why i made this suggestion (will do later on) but would it be possible for you guys to experiment this?

Now don't hate on me for proposing this change, if anything, give constructive critisism please. -_-

So you're saying a demonic jester isn't supposed to be scary. Riot should hire you for their lore team.

Everytime someone brings up his boxes on the boards, people say that his boxes are op and that he should be removed from the game.

I suggest this and all of a sudden, you guys are like '' OMG HE NEEDS HIS FEAR HE'S A DEMON DUH''

how stupid are you guys

If anything they should be buffed. They are literally only useful for annoying the enemy a bit and sometimes getting lucky. I know, I play shaco. His biggest problem is the fact that he is ridiculously binary. He either flops or dominates. Lategame, in the heat of battle, your W is about as useful as Jayce's passive is in a teamfight. Seriously, they die to anything. The boxes are a very fun and great mechanic for jungle shaco though, so that's a plus. Seriously, the boxes are ok.

No.

Ever had the enemy buy 1 trinket and completly counter half of your dmg that took 40s to set up?

It happens every games.

If you wanna stay bronze I guess that's your business

Shac NorrisDec 22, 20151 votes

Because if you stop logging in i won't get out of bronze?

What kind of fucked up logic is that? Were you shaken as a baby or something?

Chef ShaefDec 22, 20151 votes

play shaco in lane and stay bronze. Obviously

I think that the fear mechanic would be better served just being removed from the game. Small stuns are much healthier in every way. There's no advantage to the fear mechanic over stun in the game.

OH SHIT A WILD SHACO BOX. pops out of box so hard hits my head and stuns me for 1.5 seconds .... Oh look a scary looking scare crow! stares at me so hard the molecules in the air stiffen and hit me across my temples causing me to be stunned

Nope doesnt sound right

ModKnightsKemplarDec 21, 20151 votes

Lol!

But really, being paralyzed by fear is a real thing. I think, for the sake of game mechanics, we could stretch it that way just a tiny bit. I mean, it's about as good as "OH SHIT THAT WAS SCARY LETS RUN AWAY AS SLOWLY AS POSSIBLE."

But.... Dont they do that in the movies? Haha

ModKnightsKemplarDec 21, 20151 votes

Fair point.

Shac NorrisDec 21, 20151 votes

No, they run as fast as they can, but the killer walks and still catches up to them.

Shac NorrisDec 21, 20151 votes

Exactly what i meant by that.

Shac NorrisDec 21, 20151 votes

Fiddlesticks doesn't stun.

Shac NorrisDec 21, 20151 votes

Especially when you rely on boxes to deal dmg when laning as shaco.
