If new Shaco doesnt hit the mark or is found to not work, will it be reverted?

The Shaco update really isn't that small, lets face it. He has a change onto every ability and his playstyle WILL be SEVERLY altered. If he does not meet the mark or he is overall diaproved will you revert him or do I need to become the MM of Shaco and make a new thread almost every day? I personally think that they are "okay" but I don't really believe they are the ones he needed.

they will try to patch multiple times and if all else fails maybe by mid season they might but really really doubt it

I see no way stats will fix the boxes, Lane Shaco needs his triangle of boxes back.....

There's a reason they classed him as one of the "smaller reworks" they're gonna leave him gutted til his actual rework.

Best you can hope for is a bandaid fix in a few months time if the fuckers feel like doing their job for the day.

I'm not sure if will be a good thing if it does hit the mark. I'm certain Shaco players and Riot have very different idea's of what Shaco should be, and given the changes so far whatever mark Riot is trying to hit isn't what Shaco players want them to be aiming for.

Considering how Shaco is an extremely difficult champion to learn currently, and also on the same footing, one of the strongest most reliable Junglers when mastered (in solo queue) I highly doubt they will revert any changes made to him. Champions need to have a skill floor where people can use them without needing hundreds of games on the champion to learn how to use him. Having a slightly higher skill floor is fine but with Shaco his whole theme is around stealth and deception which requires an understanding of many things including the ability to use essentially "two champions" at the same time. Also on another note with the way Shaco is now, he has almost no counter play when he has a lead and that's the biggest thing Riot has been punishing with just about every rework.

It's true, Shaco is an extremely satisfying champion to learn (probably even more so to master), the road towards actually becoming good with him is a long and hard road with a lot of frustration. This is something that I believe is not good in any game. You really should only need 15-20 games to learn any champion and it takes a lot longer than that to really learn how to play Shaco.
