Hello there, sorry if this goes in a different place but I'm just curious about whats happening with shaco, lastvi've heard of his rework he was talked about along side rengar and xerath reworks among others. And if I'm checking the names right the only reworks you guys have announced that are in the works that hasn't already been released is sion and shaco, now obviusly sion will be out first, but does that mean Shaco is next in line? I've been playing shaco alot this season so im anxious how far off in the horizon is it, or weather its even the jester i've come to love on that horizon.

Anyways I just would like an update where he stands now. P.S. How many of you are looking forward to this rework, or how many of you are preparing the coffins for the old good shaco that was slane by the rework.

EDIT: Ive just seen the shaco splash art update for the pbe, and perhaps maybe it's bacause i main shaco unlike the recent splash updated champs but shaco's new splash art make specific references to all of his abilities.

the orange smoke in the background indicate his Q deceive the box outline in the foreground is clearly W jack in box the purple liquid on his shivs may be blood i cant help but thing of his E 2 shiv poison and exploding clone his R

now i find it odd they would make such references to shaco's current kit if they know they are planning a rework on him. Does this mean its trashed? or does it mean their gonna do a rework similar to skarners rework where basic kit remained the same the just messed with stats, range and added effects such as slow adjustment or fear time ( or maybe some more box health, they get one shotted most times) or is this riot just makingg a reference to the old shaco with the possible new shaco on the way? Now of course this is PBE so it could change but just with the new splash there these are my toughts, what do you guys think? feel free to let me know and if you havnt go ahead and vote for or against the shaco rework so far its an "overwhelming" 7 for and 5 against.

I'd rather RIot not touch shaco because their current design philosophy involves removing anything unique unless you have to use some sort of korean APM style combo to get it done (azir, yasuo, nidalee, velkoz, etc.) instead of strategy so we would most likely see boxes Q and ult being completely removed and replace with random bull shit and the on hit E slow also going definitely.

ANd probably adding some clunky, unnecessarry skillshot to his kit when shaco is actually all about strategic skill and not the bullshit APM skill that seems to result in flashy LC$ big plays TM.

OMG a skill shot on shaco is unacceptable, he isnt an adc. I really hope riot has more sense then that.

Right now we've got a Viktor rework and a Soraka rework on the PBE. That in itself won't appear until next cycle, making a potential Shaco rework unlikely until next year. I don't see it happening.

Look like viktor and sorako are updated this patch, i really cant think of any champs riot has mentioned besides sion and shaco so I really can't help but reel it's nearby

I just say make his 2 shiv E attack able to stick a shiv in their back if he throws it behind and be able to pull it out if following up with a back attack causing bleed. It is kind of like tryndamere, if you look at him when he does his w chicken move you are not slowed. Work shaco all around his back stabby stuff! :) It would cause people to turn to shaco more often and give shaco a better chance of using his box. (just make his box not die out so easily if you build him shaco more life tanky if you get what I mean.)
