Shaco's awful Animations

I have made a couple shaco threads already that have been me complaining about a couple of features about him, but neither of them have addressed probably the biggest shaco issue that I have come across for the entirety of me playing him. Shacos animations are seemingly some of the worst gameplay wise I have seen on any champion. His abilities can be very gimmicky and feel awfully slow and clunky, especially for a champion whose primary role is as an assassin. I came across this play today while playing a game against a talon. In the GIF you see that I am chasing the talon down with my ult clone and Q in to finalize the kill when he unstealths. But when I go to auto him out of my Q, talon somehow kills me before I even auto him. I think this is a pretty good example of what I am trying to illustrate, that shaco needs a change like lucian got with his abilities. I think they need to feel faster and be smoother. Other weird animations include Q'ing away but still getting hit with skillshots and such, and getting hit by turret shots or other champion abilities while in my ult animation where I am supposed to be untargetable. Not sure if it's asking for too much but shaco has been like this for his entirety. And was hoping to see what people thought.

Even though i am with you they arent going to do changes like these since shaco is somewhere in the rework roster. I dont know if he os after urgot but he is somwhere there

As in youre saying he will be reworked again? or you saying they wont change him since he just got reworked.

i mean as in a full fledged rework i dont remember which post but i do remember a rioter commenting on that they dont want to change anything big on him or other champ since they are on the rework list like urgot and evelynn are right now. so they wait for his time

I think an actual rework isn't in the works but a visual upgrade is
