Can we give shaco more counterplay?

I don't want him to be straight out nerfed, I just get upset when 2 shacos instantly appear behind me and backstab crit + shiv + hydra + double duskblade procs which pretty much instakills me unless I have at least 3k hp and 100 armor.

Thing is, you do know how hard that is to pull off, correct? And usually, a smart person will constantly look for cues that Shaco is coming. i.e. laner is engaging, you see smoke, your ward has been destroyed, etc. Anyways, his clone does 75% damage Shaco does. It's not that bad is it? I haven't seen a Shaco yet.

I haven't seen a Shaco yet.

If you can't see him then you will soon :D

Except the red trinket still doesn't allow you to target him, and they removed the pink ward trinket.

If only there was an entire class of champions that relied on skillshots to deal damage and CC people...

Shaco's double Duskblade is DEFINITELY getting changed in the next patch, if not hotfixed. The problem is that this would also mean you could tell which was the clone by seeing which had a Duskblade.

You sure about that?

Yeah, so far we're fine with this interaction. It will be powerful in some circumstances, so are other items on the clone however that you're giving up in exchange for this. The circumstances that maximize the power from the second Duskblake proc also potentially cost you other damage (having the clone hold off on auto attacking until the target's low), so overall average power shouldn't be too nuts in that regard either. Definitely keeping an eye on it though (and other clone like interactions with Morde, LB and Yorick too).

Huh. I don't play Shaco, so I just assumed it was a bug.

It won't. It's intended.

First of all I'll assume this is late game and you're a carry of some sort.

Sorry but - Thats your weakness. How do you counter it? Drop a pink ward. buy ONE piece of armor. Use your tanks to shield you. I've faught against MANY carries that knew they needed to stay in the pack or they'd get their head lopped off by an invisible clown. As far as duskblades double proccing (I havent noticed that.. but i almost never buy it.) Itll get fixed. It's doubtful anyone will be able to tell clone from master if it does.

Sounds like someone didn't wanna cough up 75 gold for a pink ward.

Look for the orange poof, stick to your support. Easy peasy.

Shaco is fine the way he is.
