RIP AP Shaco, Shaco cannot stacks W on top of each other anymore

If you use Shaco W on top of another W, it will bounce and leave a huge gap between each other similar to teemo shrooms. Who thought that was a good idea? Who at riot thinks that Stacking W on top of each other is Toxic, why is Maokai still allowed to do that then?

Just place them right next to each other then?

The gap between each other is very very big meaning you can only have 3 to clear your 1st camps.

Well okay, that's actually stupid.

I feel like this has to be exaggeration.

Either way, a good AP Shaco generally has them spaced out in a manner that allows maximum fear duration from baiting your enemies into them. Can't say I'm crazy about bouncing them, but with them getting more health, armor, and MR, I can understand not being able to stack them.

I've played on the pbe and I'm a shaco main, I sometimes stacks them on top of each other for max burst damage.

because maokai E can be dashed or walked away from with a move speed buff/mobies, also maokai cant stack enough saplings to do siginificant damage.

this is a kinda buff to regular shaco builds, that dont work of AD.

Nope, Riot changed the buff jungle mobs to not have the little guys. Which means, even if you don't stack the boxes, the boxes will still attack the mob they're supposed to, which is the one and only big mob that gives a buff.

It would be a problem if the little guys still exist. Then the boxes would not hit the buff mob and hit the little guys instead.

Also, i believe it's better to place the 4th box later to proc fear again, so 3 is plenty to setup in advance.
