Shaco JiTB AI issue.

This has been a LONG going issue that can be really frustrating. It's not game breaking but definitely annoying.

Why do Shacos Boxes not reaggro back onto champions if they walk back into range. It's really annoying how they run 5 units away then it goes onto minions, and they can freely do what they want again. This besides the fact that his sustain and the fact that his mana consumption can be pretty high if you constantly use spells, is one of the reasons why Shaco can't be a solid laner. Don't get me wrong, Mid Shaco works pretty well, and I generally pick him top to counter Rengar (It works pretty well surprisingly).

If you allow JiTB to retarget around minions and champions it allows Shaco to have some form of Zoning tool or even just basic harass. They cost mana, and a pretty high amount at that so it can't be something you can spam and constantly zone someone out of lane with like Gangplank, and maxing it is just dumb overall so it wouldn't be some form of overpowered laning tool he could use. It'd just be something that would allow you to lane freely (Too an extent!) if you wanted to lane with Shaco. Outside of his boxes you have no real form of free farming if you're playing against a lane bully or someone with ranged.

I don't want Shaco to be completely reworked and turn into an ADC or something dumb, but it'd be nice for him to get a bit of love on something that probably has THE dumbest AI in the game. It'd allow him to actually branch out rather than being the early game monster that has to turn into some form of Bruiser/Assassin/Split Pusher 25 minutes in.

Edit - By the way, I realize that if there is nothing else around a champion walks back into range it aggros onto them. But this doesn't pertain to minions or monsters.
