How to bring Shaco back to the meta by a Shaco Main

I love to play Shaco but he is quite a bit gimped and out of the meta right now. The problem is that Shaco can engage but he cannot disengage and he has very limited HP and cannot 1 shot players anymore. So the reality is that late game you are relegated to split pushing and trying to pick off champs but if they see you you will die in seconds. I think there is a way to fix him without making him OP.

  1. Change Q so that instead of scaling time give it a flat 3.5 second time invisible and instead allow the backstab damage to scale up based on levels in Q. The base 1.5 second is not very useful bacuse you cannot get in gank range and more than 3.5 is excessive. Instead Q should scale up his backstab percent AD damage 190%/210%/220%/240%/260% or something like that. I will let riot get the actual numbers.
  2. Change the boxes to work with AD. Shaco has some AD and some AP needs and you either gimp your E and backstab or you gimp your boxes. Its sort of a pain either way.
  3. Change Shaco's passive to be lethality base 1% per level in addition to keeping backstab from behind.

If they did this shake would be a much more viable late game champ as he would still be an assassin not a super tank but seriously deadly if you are not paying attention. He would still be a surprise assassin and not OP at the same time as being more viable choice.

So you want Shaco to be good at engaging/disengaging while also being a one-shotting tank?

  1. Would rather just have the Q scale stealth duration per level than this. Would completely get shaco nerfed again due to lengthy stealth from a rank 1 ability in the early game. No. This change would ruin the skill being a 2-point wonder, if they'd just fix the stealth scaling to be per level it could be a proper 1 point wonder.

  2. As long as they maintain the base damage and dealing magic damage, I could care less their scaling tbh.

  3. No.

Either way shaco is fine atm, highly viable as long as you aren't one of those complainers who refuse to adapt and just cry when something isn't laid out obvious.
