Shaco's nerfs are geared to make him bruiser

So Shaco is a champion that i have mained since around s4 ish maybe s5, and i love playing him, well used to... When the rework finally hit this season I was fine with it at first i suppose but then when his q and e got nerfed people began to play him bruiser if not full tank, as of right now Shaco sits at a 52% win ratio and is the number 5 jungler, great right?! Sure except he's not an assassin anymore and trying to play him the way i used to love him is totally off meta and i've had a very poor success rate with that. The recent q nerf that took all of the damage off it, along side the fact that your e now has worse scalings than before however does more damage not based on your build but on the enemy's missing hp just gives all the more reason to skip out on damage. In conclusion, I and most other Shaco mains that I've seen really dislike the role that he has taken and would like him to be an assassin like he used to be. What I would change is the missing hp damage add to his scalings and give him some damn q damage back. Shaco Is undoubtedly my favorite champ and I never play him anymore because hes not fun, you just q in and auto until everyones dead, please riot fix him.

Okay, but in return the %missing scaling is excised entirely with no compensation and Clone has a set statline unaffected by Shaco's item purchases.

Sadly Riot doesn't care what the playerbase of a champ thinks but I was the same way. I played Full AD Assassin Shaco. I ran nothing but AD runes and had thunderlords. I had to outplay or have a setup before I jumped on my target and needed a way to get out as I was squishy (as an assassin should be) I tried it after the rework and had the worst games I ever had as Shaco. Couldn't damage anything. Then Ap sparked but I never really liked playing AP Shaco, I could be wasn't a fan. I tried making new builds and eventually the best build was in fact bruiser or tank shaco. Then they decided to nerf that and I just gave up.

Riot honestly just keeps failing with champ updates. I'm not looking forward to zac/sej/mao

yeah I liked old shaco more. I didn't play him much. but the new tank shaco is just toxic. and ap/ad shaco are kind of useless.

THIS IS BS. WTF RIOT. WHATS THE POINT OF LABELING SHACO AS AN ASSASSIN. AN ASSAIN ROLE IS IN THE JUG> THEY SUPPOSED TO BE SQUISHY BUT DO ALOT OF DAMGE> SHACO SHOULD BE GOING ON FIGHTS AND KILL QUICK AND GET OUT. WHY WOULD BUILD GTANK SHACO FOR. IM NO COWARD MAN.
