Shaco rework is actually good
I enjoy it. Even losing is kinda ok. There are some minor bugs, but nothing too bad. Shaco finally feels like a champion and not a "wait for late game - oneshot everything" creation. Thank you Riot and good job.

you mean shaco is busted as fuck now?
What a troll post.
The changes did nothing of the sort:
What the changes DID do:
-Enabled MORE crit damage -Gave Hybrid scaling to every ability
- Reduced Deceive's cooldown down to Jax level status, so that he can now be Vanished for 2/3 of the game once on 40% CDR (each use is a little shorter, but 2/3 of the game means very little to no counterplay once skilled, more Duskblade procs.
- Took away the ability to ever get away from his ult clone bomb (Shorter duration fear, but higher damage scaling and aoe)
Almost NONE of his damage was actually nerfed, 3 parts were buffed, and he was given MUCH lower cooldowns. You HAVE to be joking.
in other words " shaco is broken it feels good! " i am permabanning him :)
I actually wanted to make post about how no one has said good or bad about it yet. At least a post that has gotten traction. Which in a weird way means that it is better balanced than most things rolled out. Either people spamming about a champ they think is busted or a champ they think sucks (this is rare mostly busted posts). Haven’t played his rework yet but seen a lot of gameplay and a lot of pinkward as well. Looks very very very forward thinking for a balanced but fun champ. Congrats riot

The level 3 gank is on my short-list atm since, while cool (I love that kind of tech), I think it's likely to have an outsize effect on banrate. I don't think anyone wants their champ permabanned, and I'd guess Shaco runs into banrate problems before winrate problems long-term.
While Shaco has the ability to gank the bot lane while they are still level 1, banning him is worthwhile.
I mean I'm actually glad that Shaco players had their champ fixed. For almost 3 years he had a kit that was dysfunctional and anti-fun for the Shaco player.
That said, this AOE box change is uhhh....kinda broken, not gonna lie.
"As the data rolls in... Shaco changes seem to have landed a bit more power-up than intended, but not hotfix-worthy. He's close to balanced! Pretty good considering the number of moving parts. Thanks to everyone for the feedback along the way."
Shaco is going to get nerfed but it's not immediate hotfix worthy.
So expect a slight nerf in 9.21
I think he is ok now, is not overpower ( I main sup), he is kind of fun. I think his E should change (does not really make sense on the kit) but the rest it is fun. I will go main jungle next season so looks fun.
