What are your (Riot's) plans for Shaco?
Hi all,
Shaco is in a good place right now but a lot of avid Shaco players still feel unsatisfied playing him. The issues mostly fit into two categories, AD Shaco is strong but doesn't feel strong at the right point in the game (he is more of a mid game champion when he was designed to be an early game beast) and that AP Shaco top is being ignored for AD Shaco (the Shaco rework took away a lot of his identity as a pokey champion and the later change to his E made late game itemization very unsatisfying).
So, do you have any plans for Shaco? Full rework, minor changes? The fact that Shaco has had no skins recently leads me to believe a full rework might be what you guys are aiming for, but it would be awesome to know whether my playstyle (AP top) will be brushed under the table or whether it will be accommodated.
I know this seems pretty minor, but it feels like you guys are basing a lot of your decisions on one (admittedly, more popular) way of playing a champion rather than trying to make way for multiple playstyles.
I think that Pink Wards post about adaptive champions is worth looking into for inspiration: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/m8bA97WY-adaptive-champions-and-why-shaco-should-be-the-first
Thanks,

is a champ that should never have existed in the first place. his entirely kit is based around aggravating the enemy rather than actaulyl doing useful thing.. if he is at all relevent.. he is op.
(before season 7)
after her rework
before some major fixes to him
when she choose to bind to you
the list of toxic champs with unfun kits to play agianst is long... but none of them can even hold a candle to how toxic
