I love the Shaco rework

Presto! Ya Dead!

I think this champ has taken the longest to get a rework....I think they nailed it. I stop playing because they seem to focus on the champs people were must interested in. Using abilities and not canceling your stealth was brilliant, also the Crits from behind more consistently. What do you guys think of the rework on Shaco....I do think they should make his jack n a box last a little longer though.

I'm sorry, but for someone who was a Shaco main for a long time and has a few 100k points on him, this rework was horrid and made him so limited and unfun to play that it's not even worth abusing the fact that he is broken right now. You used to be able to build just about anything on him and be able to adapt to a different playstyle, and now he's rerouted to just following the best build and getting screwed over whenever that build falls out of play (like it will with these upcoming nerfs).

how did you use to build him if I may ask....

I still think you can get away with uncommon builds with him...I mainly try Hybrid now, just to be different and fun. Hextech Gunblade, IE, lichbane, then health and defensive items after that. Yes, I know its far from normal items....but Shaco feels like one you can test a lot of weird shit with, and it may still work

I've done things like:

Sheen into Revolver Deathcap (this a while ago when Revolver was relatively new with it's passive for the MYMU). (TOP) Titanic/Gage/BC with tank afterwards when tank meta rolled around during season 5. (JG) Raptor split push with ZZ, Tiamat and sometimes a Stattik. (JG) Standard full AD with Youmuus Hydra etc. (JG) Spooky ghosts protobelt. (SUPP)

All with an end result of having surprisingly good win outcomes in low gold ish mmr.

Thanks, I'll have to give some of those builds a shot.

Proceed with caution, those builds don't work as well now, both because of meta shifts and Shaco just being different.

Im sorry, but you must be new to Shaco. Lets take your clip for example. Nothing you did in there is new from the rework nerf. And in your clip you were barely able to kill a support by blowing ult and surviving with < 10% hp and mp. Im not entirely sure what the point of that clip was.

Its was just a funny clip of me stopping him from hooking the Sona with the box without him seeing me....but regardless i still got the kill and help the team to push mid lane.
