Shaco

Passive: Last Laugh •Shaco deals extra damage to slowed and feared targets

Q: Twin Shiv/Peek-A-Boo/Backstab

Twin Shiv •Shaco keeps two shivs in stock •Shaco tosses a shiv at an enemy in a line and deals damage and slows •If the first shiv hits the enemy from the front, Backstab becomes usable. •If the first shiv hits the enemy from the back, Peekaboo becomes usable

Backstab •Upon hitting an enemy from behind, Twin shiv crits for 250% damage

Peekaboo •Upon hitting an enemy from the front, the target is feared.

Frozen Mallet Passive movement speed reduction set to 15% gains an active that empowers the next five auto attacks to slow for 20/40/60/80/stun for 1.5 seconds with an 80s cooldown

Shaco needs reworked, not buffed (has similar issues to Evelynn regarding ganking, trap issues similar to teemo, AP shaco is a mess)

Frozen Mallet needs removed to be honest. Perma slows are not healthy (Rylai's interaction with DoTs needs to be drastically nerfed.) and those changes mentioned don't help at all (stun on next five auto attacks is OP A F.)

The rework suggested gives him a new skill rotation that's tougher to pull off, but gives a decent reward. To gain the full effects, one would ideally be using deceive position yourself. And since shiv is now a skillshot, it also means you can counterplay a little with minion blocking or dodging.

And onto frozen mallet....no? In its current state, Frozen Mallet is extremely ridiculous and synergizes a little too well with attack speed. Braum requires 4 autos to stun whereas this requires 5 AND it has a cooldown, so you know it wont always be up. Besides, again, it has counterplay to it in that when it's active, you can prepare to cleanse or qss out of the stun, or whatever needs to be done to get out of it. A 15% slow really doesn't amount to much, but at least with this suggestion, you can opt into a moment of power instead of having it passively up all the time.
