with shaco Q nerf in mind

alfavhunter··2 votes·832 views

the the coming Q nerf ill be forcing shaco into a more tanky build as it greatly hurts the ad assassin, ap mage and ap assassin gameplay types but doesnt hurt bruiser shaco that much (which is already his highest win rate build for games longer than 25 min, gj there riot)

so since shaco will be forced into a more bruiser build as his optimal build my suggestion is this

he is going to be forced out of burst damage and into dps, so buff his dps by making hos boxes not so easy to kill

give them ward health of 3 + 1 hp per rank in R for 6 'hits' to kill at rank 3 in R, single target hits deal 2 damage to them, aoe effects deal 1 damage to them

this change would also be helping his shaco dps without removing the counterplay boxes have

the nerf to shacos Q is to reduce his assassination ability, but if that is done he nerfs a buff to his dps and a way to do that is to give his boxes more effective hp so they dont insta die to any and all aoe, this change forces peole to actuall pay some attention to boxes instead of assume they will insta die to 1 or 2 aoe abilities, if they want to remove the boxes from shacos dps equation

ive watched to many champions with aoe abilities kill my boxes without even realizing they did it, some examples are talons daggers and his ult, vis aoe punch, LB dash, malfite ult, riven in general, yasuo Qs, exc.

boxes already have the counterplay of control wards and a FREE trinket, insta dead from aoe without the enemy even noticing them isnt proper counterplay, they should have to actively invest a moment of notice to kill them and that is the point of this suggestion

on a side note because of the more effective hp they should take longer to activate if they are damaged in a fight as they were placed down

example for every 1 damage they take while arming their activation is delayed by .2 seconds

The point of the shaco nerfs is to nerf him.

yet they are nerfing the shaco builds with the lower win rates and enforcing the one with the highest win rate

Stop trying to explain, half of the boards are just champion hate circle jerkers that don't actually read the discussions or bother to research the stats, like shaco build win rates in this instance. Most people don't understand the issue is the on hit effects that the clone has, like hydra procs and rift herald. It's actually comical that Riot didn't even bother to address this.
