Why even play shaco when evelynn is just better?
shaco has just been shafted to obscurity for the longest of time and evelynn reminded me that he existed by the sheer fact that she is just better at doing his job. when is their going to be a shaco rework?
-
at lv 1 his q last 1.25 seconds, that's barely enough time to walk out of the bushes and reach the middle of the lane, he has to start maxing q in order to efficiently gank (like rank 3/4 q) which is about lv 4 or 5.
-
evelynn can certainly gank pre 6, it will be harder but she can do it. She'll also has the damage to do something since she doesn't have to max her utility skill and forego her damage
-
shaco w is a fear (0.5 / 0.75 / 1 / 1.25 / 1.5) that will activate after 2 seconds and act like a glorified
turret -
evelynn allure has a 2.5 second arm time to charm (1 / 1.25 / 1.5 / 1.75 / 2) or can be activated instantly to slow, charming nets you damage amplification (in addition to her q damage amplification) and it can be applied from stealth, unlike shaco w.
-
shaco e is throw a dagger and slow them for a bit. 8 second cd
-
evelynn e is a gap closer that grants her movement speed for 2 seconds and becomes empowered when she gets her stealth. 8 second cd
-
shaco ult is a clone that will eventually explode (200 / 300 / 400 magic damage (+ 100% AP) cause that make sense for an ad aa reliant champion) and leaves 3 boxes on the ground (i've never actually seen his ult boxes be useful)
-
evelynn ult is a execute (150 / 275 / 400 (+ 75% AP) or 300/550/800 if the target is below 30%) that makes her invulnerable and blinks her backwards. once out of stealth, what is shaco escape plan? stall until q comes back up in 14 seconds (maxed rank btw), eve can return to her stealth after 4 seconds of being out of combat.
they play so similarly and yet evelynn kit synergy is so vastly superior
is allowed to stay strong across all elo
