I want a Shaco ult rework!

Shaco is meant to be a "cunning individual, evading authorities" But I find that Shaco is nearly a 1-trick pony. You either focus the q engages or focus on well placed w boxes like pinkward It's one or the other in terms of damage with a few nice jukes to get out.

But overall Shaco is a bit underwhelming in the current league of tanks (Kennen adc with a sterak's gauge sorta proves my point right?)

But rather than a buff that will make him OP and a reason for people to cry, I think it's better to focus on the tricky sort of play and still make people cry haha.

In this sense, I feel like the clone of shaco is a little useless. for the ult. Yay a bit of mp scaling if it blows up right (well quite a bit; still useless for an ad shaco though). The most useful thing is attack move on the clone which allows me extra seconds of damage on a turret (with mind games).

I think Shaco should be more about mindgames and thus I propose a little buff to the Shaco Ult.

I feel like Shaco should feel like Leblanc in the sense that you should be able to have responsive plays. Like after shaco clone is activated, I feel like the clone should have a little more than a walking meatshield that increase damage (if in range, by 80%? or there about)

I would like a reactivation of R that can see Shaco clone can mimic some of the abilities too.

Reactivate Q Clone disappears with the same animation as the Shaco Q; while the real shaco gets empowered by the Q crit buff

Reactive W Clone places a W box and runs away before fading away.

Reactive E Clone turns into a dagger and hit the target like a second E strike.

And if left untouched, the clone will blow up dealing magic damage as it does at the moment.

I would like to see shaco take a direction that involves a lot more mind games Where the opponent will have no real idea of which shaco is the real shaco.

What does everyone think? Please no hate XD

shaco's ult is fine it already provides more than enough mind games, it can be cast while you are invis from Q or in a bush/fog and sent out ahead of you to confuse the enemy on which one is the clone. it can be activated to provide split second immunity from all damage/effects, resulting in amazing play potential. it benefits from either ad or ap shaco builds

no, it doesnt need to be changed, its more than fine where it is.

I know about how many plays Shaco can do. My best play was probably assassinating a squishy and evading the team for half the jungle; ulting a sej ult; and finally using the clone to block a caitlyn ult.

But what I find is that after the 2-3 time people play against shaco, he no longer has that kind of mind game effect (unless you start using your real one like how a clone would be like and then double screw them).

I'd like to see more versatility while becoming more viable in general in the current league.
