Buff Shaco

I don't know how exactly, Shaco needs some Love.

Yes I know the many people who will come here and say he's already good enough/op. I believe all of you to be very right about the Good enough part semi. I say semi because he is Good Enough to be a Jug, but what about Lane?

Everyone knows you do not ever, never ever lane Shaco. Why? Because he's horrid in lane. I have no idea what kind of buff or change could be given, however I do believe every champion should have a lane position. Shaco has none. So because of that I believe he needs a buff so he would be able to do so. Yes I am scareing myself thinking about if this will make him too good in the jungle, but it is really needed. It's needed because I and others like me, might want to take the little guy out for a spin in lane once in awhile without being called a troll.

Every time I see a Shaco with Flash, I die a bit inside.

He's probably going to get a rework. His kit has a lot of problems (blink/stealth ability is difficult to ward against, invisible traps in general, on-hit slow)

i'd sooner see him reworked. really frustrating champ to play with OR against. never works with the team and it's basically impossible to fight off or predict his ganks.

Got two people saying he needs reworked in the since of nerfing him lmfao, Yes Shaco can be hard to play against, no he's not hard to ward against. Eveylnn is hard to ward against not shaco. And her burst is not that great even full ap. Great burst would be Katrina and Talon. Shaco relys on AA he's not a real burst champion. Evelynn is similar but with a little more burst than shaco. Both are even squishier than Katrina and Talon, and both can not be laned well. Which is the point of this post the Laning ability.

The frustrating thing to play with him is if you get behind / enemy team gets fed. This is a common problem for both champions and practically every single Assian class. Because they are squishy and most rely on their burst to kill. When behind they can not burst, and a shaco behind is even worse because he has no real bursting power, most of his power being in his AA.

The fact people die during "well planned" Shaco ganks is useally because of 3 reasons.

they were over exstended and not at full hp
they ran away after he appeared meaning he gets in free hits with a 20% damage increase (try fighting him)
They didn't ward right or warded and had no map awareness. If you see any jug comeing across a dragon ward to your lane guess what? He's prob coming for you. At that point in time you should back off and get to your safe zone, and not be over exstended.

A Shaco will never dive on you under your turret while you have full hp and he has no back up/ a person to engage.

If you correct those 3 things mistakes players make all the time Shaco will never get a single gank during the laneing phase.

During mid phase a 4th mistake happens

Your team is grouped and your off by yourself not with them, guess what you just became a target. If shaco has item 3274 you've got 5-7 seconds if he's on the other side of the map to fix that problem before he carfully waits till your abilitys are on cd and ganks you.
