Give Shaco some love

With all this new stuff in this season, I feel that some champs are left out. For instance, champs like Taric and Morde still have PIZZA feet and Urgot is still a meatball. There are still a handful of champs that need VUs are updates to their gameplay. One of these champs being Shaco. I'm not saying that there should be any big balance changes or hits to his kit, but a change in clarity for Shaco would help with both pros and starters with him. Some suggestion are:

A clone timer. This can help Shaco players to gauge how long they have on their clone, which can potentially lead to plays. Even thought the tool tip says 18 seconds, and that's a long time, it would still be a nice improvement.

A clone range indicator. A range INDICATOR on the clone would help a lot for Shaco players. This allows a Shaco player to juke more efficiently without being overly concerned on when the clone will disappear. Though seasoned Shaco players may not need this, I feel like this could be a boon for BEGINNERS. Something simple like Zed's shadow arrow or Ori's ball thing could work.

Recoloration. I know Riot has been working on VU's on many champions, but I'm not sure how MUCH MORE of neon orange/green clown I can take. So just get to it on your own time I guess.

That's all I could think of, but if you have any suggestions, comment. The more the merrier.

Quality of Life buffs for Shaco? Riot would rather buff Irelia.

That being said... The clone needs AI fixing (it still tends to just wander around what you send it after instead of attacking) and needs to display + utilize all buffs more than anything else.

A clone timer and range indicator would also be nice (and far from overbearing). The clone has too many artificial handicaps as it is; the fact that it doesn't deal and receive the same damage as Shaco is bad enough.
