Shaco Thoughts

I feel Riot's hands are tied with shaco cause he's a balance issue and in need of a rework sadly to say:

Passive, hidden power that only works on the back. There's going to be a point where getting to the back isn't an option.

Q- Stealth gap closer, not as obvious as rengar's because it's range doesn't alter and shaco's kit conflicts AS focused damage, while for AP....it's still a stealth gap closer.

W- Gives too much power to cheese level clearing, and even if they nerfed that and tried to compensate elsewhere they can't cause it's an AoE hard CC, while it's legit unreliable and allows you to fight back unlike ekko's W, silencing assassins or old stun eve, it's still something riot is weary about (Although they aren't showing it with ekko...).

E is E, although personally still feel that it conflicts with shaco it doesn't actually get too weak, and it's core of AP shaco.

R- Srsly all now still more "deception" than LB, I love it. xD

Do you think shaco will get some minor fixes in the assassin patch? Or do you think shaco will get a solo rework, not a relaunch, but a rework.

They can't really change shaco without completely wiping his identity that's all I'll say. He's an alright champion and not really "op" because he has his weaknesses unlike most champions of the same nature. I think the rework is either gonna leave him with small minor changes or we'll just get a new champion in shaco's skin.

Yea, I had a rework idea but recently I started realizing shaco went against what they wanted as an assassin.

IMO if they reworked shaco into a melee adc(new term is skirmisher) he could retain his identity, retain his off-build ap, given a bit more synergy with crit/AS (Atm after rengar's upcoming rework, shaco will be the only assassin still synergizing with crit/AS which is sustained damage), while in exchange for his stealth it'll probably get reworked into more mobile Q and different passive while the old passive is reworked into his kit a bit more.

After thoughts I think i'm just gonna revisit my shaco rework idea, ty for the thoughts on him.
