,,Strategic diversity'' (shacothread)

Greetings, this post is about shaco and his devourerinteractions.

Many of you'll think ,,Oh man! That again? I've heard that weeks ago!'' and you'll be right. However, what disturbes me is that the bug is known and no rioter has made a statement regarding this issue.

For those who dont know here are shaco's ,,special'' interactions with devourer:

  1. The wolf doesnt go invisible when shaco does. --> shacos main sellingpoint got maimed.

  2. More and more Wolfs spawn behind shaco AND STAY there, even if you become sated. --> next to an enhanced invisibilityproblem this results in minionblock for shaco and his enemys.

I've heard that shaco shouldn't build devourer anyway. That's not true. Onhit- and bruiserbuilds profit from devourer. Another example would be a shaco in a full-ad-team who wants to build mixed damage. I am not a shacogod but i reached dia 5 with him so let me tell you: Devourer is not useless!

It's weird that it didnt get fixed right away because it destroys a certain playstyle. But OK i dont have a clue how much work they have to do and this might not be a prioritycase.

Another reason for said problem could be an intentional balanceleaver: The wolf trolls you on purpose so shaco (and Eve)cant build the item. Personally i think that would be a poor form of balancing. Devourer is not the best option on shaco anyway, so why permit us to play him with that item? I am allowed to build frostfang on shaco but i get punished for building devourer?

Last but not least: the technology is there. They coded ekkos clone in a manner that the enemy could only see him when he had vision on ekko. If this doesnt fit, just turn the wolf invisible whenever shaco uses q.

This thread turned out passive-agressive. I just want to express that i am confused and that i and a couple of others would be glad to hear a rioter give an explanation why the current state doesnt get fixed/ why it would be gamebreaking to give shaco access to sated devourer.

Thanks for reading
