Shaco Rework? Yeah?

Swampmajikk·Mar 22, 2015·3 votes·455 views

It's not really a secret that shaco is in a really, really bad spot right now. They can't buff him because of how frustrating a strong shaco is to play against but in his current state even a fed shaco ends up being completely worthless by mid game.. I'm more making this thread in the hopes someone from riot can comment on the current state of shaco and whether or not any kind of reworks or tweaks are in the works to put shaco into a better, playable spot? Ideally, shaco should be able to be played in a lane and have some kind of impact in a team composition beyond early gank potential. And with his current kit, as we have seen historically, that isn't going to happen in a healthy way. So...anything?

The problem is Shaco doesn't have any core identity other than "being an annoying, stealth-focused twat," and changing that would piss off the annoying-stealth-focused-twat fanclub.

well his identity is more along the lines of being "tricky". of course being on the receiving end of that would be "annoying-stealth-focused-twat". so really, a shaco rework would be a pretty difficult endeavor..which i think is what u really meant >.>

Only thing they'v confirmed they'd change is his Two-Shiv Poison because it lacks any iconic significance. His Deceive, Jack in the Box and Hallucinate are the iconic skills he gets his identity from.

Hope they do a good job, too, because his E is maxed first for damage/reliable CC.

I kinda just figure his E active should be a skillshot that potentially does something better when it hits from behind. I also really think his jack in the box could be changed so that it actually does something later in the game.
