My Shaco and Riot's Shaco.

Shaco So Shaco has been my main in the jungle. I am not that high in mastery with him yet just a poor 80K mastery7. I love him he is my favorite male assassin. What I want to talk about is how his rework feels so lackluster to me. Okay so overall assassins in this game share mobility as one of their most notable features. Talon Katarina Fizz Zed Lee Sin Yasuo Khazix even Rengar's passive adds mobility in bushes. Shaco's only mobile move is his Q which gives him a free Flash with invisibility. Before the two recent changes to Shaco which I think are complete nerfs. Shaco was a real assassin when he had an auto attack empowerment in his Q And along with backstab Tiamat and his E and thunderlords you have one of the most powerful oneshotting early game assassins in the game which is what Shaco is made for. He is made to be a monster in early game not as much late game as any other assassin. The problem currently now that Shaco's Q doesn't give him that same empowerment and that his backstab having magic damage ratio and now his E which scaled of both AP and AD now is only AD and the longer cooldown on Shaco's Q. It feels like Shaco is the assassin version of Aatrox. Riot games just doesn't know what to do with Shaco anymore and every few patches they play with his numbers to see what Shaco mains are capable of. It triggers me a bit tbh.

  • In my opinion if Shaco is that assassin type jester or clown he should have more burst and more mobility. This Mobility imo should/could be translated to a skill which I think people would hate the thought of playing against it. This mobility in my mind would be to be able to switch places with his clone. This also means his ultimate would be way more impactful and also the clone should be able to mimic all Shaco's abilities much like Zed's shadow clones or Leblanc's Mimic. I think it's only fair to give such power to Shaco. I would want his jack in the box changed as well but I find it necessary for his jungle clearing but honestly I don't find it the most mind boggling abilities. Like when you see a Darius ult or a Zed ult or a Talon's ult or a Zed's W etc you think " Wow nice animation looks awesome I like it!" With Shaco all his kit look really dull like even the knife he throws doesn't even glow or something it looks like spit. Now I don't hate Shaco. I just want more added to him because his theme and and what he had before and what he has now and what other champions have now aren't in sync. I think he is getting more and more outdated. I don't want a full rework to Shaco. I want 3 things added to Shaco. More voice lines. Cooler animation. And the ability I just mentioned or in any other fitting way to add more mobility to his kit.

  • I believe a lot of people would disagree with me because they have been bitten or gotten their asses kicked by Shacos a lot that they don't want any buffs to him. Or other Shaco mains who just like Shaco and think I am belittling him by wanting certain things changed or added to him. All in all. I am just sharing my thoughts with the community. PEACE!

Shaco is in a fine spot right now. You just have to play him in the right lane. Top lane Shaco now is very strong due to his passive making last hitting much easier. Overall, I must agree with you that he was needed ridiculously, and I would like to see his Q damage back.

Shaco is easy peasy lemon cheesy. His win rate hasn't been bad in ages. Also I am not a Shaco main and I still got more points than you. GTFO If you want to be a faceroll assassin, don't play Shaco, go play Talon or Akali or something like that.
