Shaco needs a nerf.... Soon

I shouldn't be able to get put in any game, and immediately see Shaco go 17/0. Cooldown on his Q (Deceive) is just insanely too low during mid-late game, no other champ can solo their first jungle mob with nothing but traps to soak all the damage and deal it out, and still be at as high of HP afterwards as Shaco is. He is just all around given WAY too much, sure he is squishy, but that is provided you can catch him, with getting what is essentially a flash every 11 seconds is just ridiculous, it should be a much more punishing cooldown so that he isn't always a threat. Because even when Shaco leaves a fight, he can always jump in out of no where, and secure a kill and just run off to do it again in another 11 seconds.... I'm not the only one who believes he is just straight up broken, and I know I'll get flame from all the Shaco lovers.

Ecks dee

He's currently trash tier. Either you played vs a smurf, or you just don't respect what certain champions do best.

That being said, Shaco excels at punishing nooby opponents

Fiddle/WW don't need smite, machete or a leash and can do it better than shaco.

Guess what ruins all 3(well maybe doesn't ruin WW as much)? Wards

I guess you've run into an experienced Shaco player once or twice and failed to play accordingly. Get good. Shaco's far weaker than he used to be; most people you see playing him today have been doing so for a long time. Get some stealth detection (pink wards, upgraded Oracle's Lens, pink upgrade to the yellow trinket) and you can ruin the days of even the best Shacos.

I'm not sure why it's allowed but an instant stealth blink that has LOWER mana cost as you go higher in rank is pretty stupid in any kit. Coupled with his other abilities it's ridiculous.

I would love to be able to provide vision but Riot doesn't want us to be able to use 1 pink per person and only 3 wards up which is insufficient for only one person.

More than anything, I love how you can post an opinion on the forums, and be told "get good" as an answer to why a champ needs a nerf.... I never wanted to watch someone fall down a flight of stairs more in my life :D
