Shaco rework.

Ok.

The early clear and lvl 3 gank bot strat are broken. Clearly.

His winrate is 53-54% because of that. We cannot start to nerf and buff him because of how this cheese strat artificially elevates his winrate. It might even make it +4% or more.

It has to be changed.

I feel like it is partially this broken, because of the current state of jng, which is a mess.

There are two solutions (probably), nerf Shaco's early clear on red side or change jungle. I would prefer changing jungle, because it needs a rework anyways and Shaco was just reworked, but I am ok with a nerf of this form of clear.

I have to agree that this form of clear is unfair, it gives free double kill and first blood in almost every single game. Too cheesy.

After it gets fixed you will see Shaco fall to 50% or maybe even 49% winrate, if his playrate doesn't drop too. If it drops then maybe 51%.

i have a feeling that everyone hates shaco mains and the champion itself. That's why shaco mains are happy because their love one is viable after 2 years and every single person besides them is furious.

Yeah no. He's getting nerfed next patch, Scruffy confirmed it on his Twitter account.

Whatever happens just remember there's a whole other AP side to the champ which needs to be considered, also different positions/roles.

example, without attack speed in the build the clone is not as efficient at chasing its target to keep in range for the explosion, which hurts ap shaco even more as a large part of that play style's damage comes from it.

that being said, id trade some of the execute bonus (50-40%, nerfing both ad/ap) for 25 increased radius to clone explosion.

the stealth duration could start at 2.25 sec, no trade just nerf that. I admit it's op.

Also would be nice to add box bonus hp scaling based on Ability Power, without a trade because explosion damage was nerfed, and while the cc is more reliable the boxes usually end up being instakilled before doing any damage.

Actually if it falls that far he would need a buff because usually only mains play this champ so his winrate shouldn't fall below 51%.
