Shaco Ult change suggestion

Can we make it so Shaco can choose to detonate his clone whenever he wants? This would help Shaco actually assassinate people without needing 10 kills to do so, and he can have a role in a teamfight, he could use it to help secure dragon and baron. I think it would be a really good change.

I'm not sure how this would work with the amount of bindings we have available to us. Maybe Shaco could start the game with a Unique item that he can activate to destroy the clone.

They could probably just make it so he could hit R again to detonate it. I think this is a good idea

No.

agreed... he really needs to be more than a mid and late game split pusher.

Honestly, I was hoping for for a buff that let Shaco control his clone after he died. So many times I've watched my clone just mindlessly standing still, or chasing after someone, but not aa'ing them.

Here's an idea for the item. Call it something like "The Backstabber" or whatever you guys want, and roll his passive into it. The passive on the item gives him the backstab bonus and maybe he could even buy upgrades for it like higher chance to crit or stronger slow when attacking from behind or something like that, and then you can activate it to "Backstab" your clone and destroy it.

If someone thinks its a bad idea can you at least offer an argument as to why? Something other than "I don't like Shaco, I'm scared of him being good."

I know there's a rework in progress. Somewhere in a deep dark corner they like to call Soon™, but they haven't spoken about it really and haven't shared any of their thoughts on it with us. Maybe they are already considering this, or maybe they are considering gutting him. I don't know. I'd love to get some feedback!
