Shaco in Ascension

Blade Runner··2 votes·629 views

Hello, I have a short question. Why is Shaco disabled in ascension gamemode? Last time we had ascension he was disabled due to a bug and I think they had enough time to fix it. Maybe he's banned due to toxicity... but im not sure. Thanks for your time.

I was about to post regarding this issue. It has been well over a month. We have 'yet' to receive any clarification was to 'why' he is disabled in the mode. Theories floating around is because he makes the gamemode toxic? I highly doubt it entirely. Shaco requires skill to function effectively in that map. If we're disabling champions because they're toxic for the mode.

Why is Teemo Nunu Heimer Caitlyn Jhin TALON Kha'Zix Rengar Evelyn Twitch Malzahar Janna Zac (pre-rework mind you) Urgot

Just to name a few, have not been disabled? Each of these champions presents a mechanic that makes dealing with them in the mode absolutely disgusting. Take Kha'Zix as the best example next to Evelyn. Kha's passive goes into overdrive on that map. Evelyn's ability to scutterbutt around full nude shrouded in shadow, makes her back capping quite annoying. Rengo doesn't need bushes in that map Talon's E makes him slippery as fuck Jhin is like Shaco, traps, traps everywhere! Same issue as Jhin with Caitlyn. She just plops traps and sits at 1 point in a bush and camps. Twitch can sneak around quite efficiently Malzahar can solo the ascended at a certain point Nunu can literally spoon feed his team the ascended Heimer just cops a squat at a point Teemo just puts shrooms everywhere and/or camps a single point.

So the reasoning behind just Shaco being disabled is quite perplexing. When there are several other champs that are much better if not more annoying than him. Plus after his recent nerf Shaco's boxes are about all he has left in that mode now.

When you have 3-4 people actively hunting you down and you don't die. That takes a lot skill to achieve. Out smarting people constantly, predicting travel pathing. It takes practice to be a top kek sack of back capping shit.

disabled due to bug... more like shaco is not ready to play in that mode

Usually in modes Teemo is disabled, Shaco is also(don't think he's disabled in any anymore, or is he?). Either way at the moment he's so weak unless played tank or built with tons of auto attack enhancing items, I don't see any reason to disable him.
