Can Riot PLEASE fix these Shaco bugs for the assassin update?
I understand that Shaco is not scheduled for much work being done on him, and in all honesty I'm fine with that. I believe that Shaco is reasonably healthy the way he is, and I would hate to see Shaco's identity ruined by over-zealous designers. That said, there are a number of outstanding bugs with Shaco's abilities that have existed for far too long.
- Q not giving him crit as well as randomly cancelling the auto without the input TO cancel it, wasting the crit from his q and revealing him without dealing damage
- W stays visible to enemies for an extra second after becoming invisible and doesn't trigger for another second after its supposed to
- E cast will cancel mid animation/channel for no reason if the enemy leaves range or visibility even though it is already been casted (Note: this one is inconsistent with mana expenditure but sometimes it will burn mana and sometimes not when it bugs out)
- R timing in "disappearing from the game" is inconsistent and doesn't follow the definition, as perfectly timed ults have had damage, crowd control, and other things more or less "follow through the removal", hitting Shaco anyway
- Clone is buggy and is sometimes non-responsive and will sit there despite being given orders; explosion radius is also inconsistent as far as animation and distance per units, sometimes shorter than Shaco's own auto-attack range, sometimes longer than it should be
These are just the main ones off the top of my head, but even one of these bugs occurring has drastic results in-game. Riot, it's simply unacceptable that these bugs would remain present for this long. There have been numerous documented reports of these bugs in the past, both video and anecdotal proof being given, yet STILL Shaco remains one of the most bug-ridden champions in the game.
I don't care if Shaco gets any major kit changes. What I, and I'm sure other Shaco mains, want to see most is the removal of these and other bugs involving Shaco's abilities so that he isn't so damn inconsistent. If Shaco is slotted for any changes at all, please let them be bug fixes.
