Please Buff Shaco

Hello Riot Games.

After playing Shaco for a while, i realized that the champ needs a buff right now. He simply does not have enough damage that compares to any other assassin other than nocturne. How can you buff champions like illaoi or Darius when they can already 1v5 level 6. Please buff Shaco. Not only does all of his skins look plain, but he doesn't have any damn damage. A support does more damage than Shaco. Amazing champ concept, but does not compare to anyone else in damage.

If you say no to buffing Shaco, please tell me why

What's the point of shaco's E? It's literally the lowest damaging skill in the game. And it's slow is barely noticeable

I get that Shaco kills through mindgames and surprises but seriously, make his early game more bearable. My suggestion is to buff/revert his Q and rework his E. Then, Shaco will be in a much better spot

I am so sick of seeing players asking for shaco buffs and shaco reworks and shaco reverts.

He is a top performing jungle that just happens to require a little extra skill to be played optimally. He doesn't need buffs. He is more than fine in his current state.

And I am writing this knowing full well that the "Shaco Main Union Party" will downvote me into oblivion for stating the fucking truth about their poster boy champion!

I think he just needs a slight buff on his base stats. He doesn't need any more scaling because he can already snow ball and one shot people. He just either needs a slight increase on his base stats to his E or to give him a little more armor for his early jungle clear. Shaco actually has a weak early game win rate and really shines between 25-35minutes. I play shaco a lot and I feel like small buffs to his early game base stats will fix the problem.

Another option could be to revert his q to the old amount of invisibility time and not touch his base stats. This will create more successful ganks without touching his damage. Shaco players dont get any damage from upgrading his q because you have to attack the opponent while invisible, which isn't possible until there are 3-4 points are on q or you use your q as a gab closer. However, by doing this shacos E does no damage. Plus his q has low base damage and scaling damage.

He doesn't need a big buff but probably just a slight tweak to his early game without adding to his late game damage.

Also, The change to dark harvest and dusk blade also hurt him

Shaco's win rate has dropped every patch recently. RIP the clown. No more tricks

Plz make Shaco's early game a bit more tolerable. Then, he'll be alright

Shaco has lots of utility and outplay potential in his kit. It is reasonable that he has lower damage than a zed because you can turn invisible on a basic ability (non-ultimate), use boxes to get vision or zone off enemies as well as have a clone to distract the enemies, while zed only has a mediocre teleport to clone that he needs in order to deal damage, which means that using it for utility sacrifices damage.

He also has incredibly high winrates in high elo for the reasons above (utility and outplay potential) and therefore Riot is unlikely to buff him.

And yes, high elo is as important as low elo. That's why they can't buff things if they become must pick-or-ban in higher elos. (This is not the case with Shaco yet, but what you're saying is similar to the 'buff ryze' argument, and so it's sort of a counter argument against flamers saying low elo consists of most of the playerbase)

Greatings riot games i've been playing this game for so long, i saw big changes reworks nerfs buffs i enjoyed it all and leauge like my life it has big effect on my mood and other things but its really really sad when it comes to one champ one champ only " shaco " feels like personal and that's unfair and really it destroyed me when i see riot employee doing absolutely nothing about, looking forward for better changes.

-thanks for support.

Please don't. The last thing you want is Shaco buffs, because if that happens he will be nerfed after even harder. Let Shaco be what Shaco is. His time will come, eventually...

To be fair....... im bias and i will say nerf AD shaco and buff AP shaco lool. Im an AP shaco player and i would like an AP buff tbh i wouldnt even care if back stab turned from crit to magic damage..... and all the AD elements leave shaco. BUT.. thats just me
