how else is he supposed to assassinate someone and does his job?

Well but now that his stealth has almost no counterplay, assassinating someone instantly is... Iffy.

Making it Invisibility instead of Camo was eh in the first place. And putting the proximity visibility on Camo is eh too.

53% winrate on ap shaco. He shouldnt be able to assasinate someone with just Q and E, that heavily lacks counterplay.

Unpopular board opinion so I dont care about downvotes, but stop crying about crit/ap shaco and play him full ad/bruiser and hes still as good, if not better than before.

He doesn't kill you with just Q and E. There's also lichbane, Echo, maybe gunblade or even statikk along with shitton of AP.

If you let Shaco get so ahead to have 500+ AP and you haven't bought even 1 resist item, then you should get blown up by his combo.

Faaaacepalm

That still lacks counterplay.

Say that to Katarina, Khazix, Rengar, Lb

Their "counterplay" is just as fake as in Shacos case. But guess who they are gutting atm.

Dracocrash3 votes

Katarina definitly has counter play, I dont even need to explain this. She has TONS after her rework.

Rengar is stupid on another level and is receiving nerfs.

Lb has a 1.5s delay, to proc her passive and STILL has a lower winrate than shaco.

Not sure why this got downvoted. It's true, Bruser (Triforce) shaco is crushing right now.

Be creative with boxes. That's it. Killing someone with just Q + E point and click abilities is just cheesy man.

Wow yeah gee just use your boxes to assassinate a target in a teamfight.

Somehow.

What a great idea.

Then drop them low with your first atempot, run stormlords and get the fuck off and return to finish the deal once your cds are up again. Or man up, play ad-shaco and finish the deal with AAs and your clone's AAs.

Killing someone in ~0.5sec from fullhealth with point n click damage from out of stealth, while beeing able to travel in stealth about 2 screens far(which means proper warding doesn't aöways help, not with the poor warding option we have right now) simply is not ok, and it's exactly why so many people loose there shit about rengar, and for good reason, despite him not even beeing full point n click anymore nor haveing actuall invisibillity like shaco.

Autos, Jack in the Boxes, and his Clone.

He doesn't kill you with Q + E, unless you're already at 15% health and you're a squishy.

i must say an adc without magic resistance will get 70-0 from a shaco with 4 items

that if the adc isn't behind

so yeah it's true you can't oneshot an adc

Sharp isn't a 100 to zero in one second.

Shack is about misdirection and stealth. People constantly try to chase them down while he reappears, chunks you out then restealths.

He is one of the most annoying champs to deal with, especially if he plays around the outskirts of his team.

You build AD because god forbid rito leave a buildpath for shaco that is unnerfed after the assassin roster changes.

Can yall stop bringing up win rates. Shaco has a high win rate because he is mostly played by shaco mains. Look at his wins compared to games played. It's all losses until 150+ games with him. Contrary to popular belief, shaco isn't played much unless by players who mastered him and are good, hence the high winrate

That's their trick. They don't want him to assassinate anymore >_>.

The Yetii Rider1 votes

You get extra damage off Runic Echoes, Lich Bane, and Hextech Revolver active.

Umbra Ionia1 votes

Yeah, nerf assassins because they kill you in 1 sec and let shaco oneshot you being AP with Q+E. Sounds balanced.

"Build him bruiser it's better and more reliable, quit crying about AD/AP Shaco". I like how this excuse keeps being brought up but his role is an assassin so they're basically saying that an off role is better than his main role, which iirc Riot said that if that ever happens to a champion they're doing something wrong(If you support playing bruiser Shaco as the only viable build, this is basically endorsing things like tank Ekko as well).

I also enjoy how people are complaining about Shaco stealthing and being able to go past the USUAL ward spots without being detected, when other champions can skip any wards and go straight to you. There's this thing you do when a jungler can bypass close wards, it's called warding deeper. Always do this when champions like Hecarim Nocturne Shaco ZacQuinn are in your games...

if you think shaco should 100-0 someone in 0.5 seconds from stealth youre an idiot.

2 buttons presses without any counterplay but going tanky for the enemy isnt what I call healthy.
