Shaco Main Seriously Questioning Why I Play Anymore

ItsDolph300··3 votes·796 views

I was never one to complain about the game and really care what happened but I've been struggling recently to comprehend how this makes sense. Shaco has been a champion that's always been in an interesting place but never really super popular or overpowered as far as I'm aware or can recall. Besides the very VERY few one tricks only a handful of them have ever even gotten past D3. Anyways. Can someoen explain why Evelynn, Rengar, Khazix, Wukong can all still one shot people and actually assassinate targets while having an escape but Shaco does less damage than all of them WITHOUT an escape? The only thing shaco has is his ultimate after you Deceive into the enemy team and that literally only takes half a second for the team to kill your clone and then kill you right after if not just shoot the right one to begin with. Evelynn can use her ultimate to get out, Rengar gets MS and CC immunity with his W (Not sure about anymore) Kha can jump away again, Wukong goes in with his invisibility but then crowd controls with his ultimate so he can walk away as he's ulting while they are airborne etc. Just super annoying it feels like my character is genuinely subpar compared to every other assassin in the game.

Maybe rework his overloaded as fuck Q. It weird that you mention how all these champs have escapes when in reality Evelynn has to use her Ult to run away. Wukong has to use 2 separate abilities to engage that dont even combine to be as good as just Shaco's Q and then has no way out, Rengar has no way out once he ults in, and Kha just got hella nerfed.

Shaco mains are the most delusional group of mains I have ever seen. Its just about all of them it blows my mind. The second he falls below 54% WR they come here to say hes weak

What's overloaded about his Q? Evelynns ultimate is also her primary tool to kill along with escaping. Wukong gets compensation because his burst is AoE not single target.

Half of the items that are used for assassinating people don't even work with Shaco's Q btw because his backstab overrides the items passive abilities such as the StormRazor not activating on Shaco just with this patch

You are actually attempting to compare Eve's ULT (ULTIMATE ABILITY since you dont quite understand) to Shaco's Q

Wukongs burst is NOT aoe. Wukongs burst is E>AA>Duskblade proc>Q>Electrocute>Ult. His BURST is single target then he has some AOE dps on his ult

Delusional

I guess I couldn't expect a logical response from a Silver player that plays wukong :thinking:

Says the guy who plays Shaco.

Shaco uses his Q to engage, then he has no way out. Same as Rengar, Wukong, and Eve. Shaco's "escape" consists of him pressing R and praying to god the enemy is stupid enough to focus the clone. Don't make it sound like Shaco can both enter a fight AND escape from one as clean as someone like Zed or Talon.
