SHACO REWORK

Iźuku Midoriya··1 votes·995 views

Passive: Backstab - Shaco's basic attack critically strikes for 120% when attacking a unit from behind (200% to Monsters). Enemies cant be backstabbed more than once every 3 seconds. This cooldown is modified by CDR.

Q: Deceive - Shaco teleports nearby and becomes Invisible for 1.5 seconds. Shaco remains invisible even if he uses Jack in the Box or Hallucinate

W: Jack in the Box - Shaco creates a Jack in the Box that hides from view after 2 seconds. It pops out when an enemy comes near, making nearby enemies flee very slowly for 0.5 seconds. Its attack deals 35 +(20% ap) magic damage. It lasts for 60 +(unknown value ap) while hidden or 5 seconds while firing

E: Two Shiv Poison - Passive: While Two Shiv is ready to cast, Shaco's basic attacks apply Two Shiv poison for 2 seconds. It removes movement speed by 20% Active: Shaco throws a shiv that applies Two Shiv poison for 3 seconds and deals magic damage equal to 5 + (about 80% of ad) + (about 90% of ap) + 3% of targets missing health

**R: Hallucinate ** - Shaco vanishes briefly and reappears with a clone. The clone lasts up to 18 seconds and detonates when it dies, dealing 300 + (100%ap) magic damage to nearby enemies and spawning three mini Jack in the Boxes. Mini Boxes deal 25 +(unknown value ap) damage, make enemies flee for 0.75 seconds and trigger together. Clone deals 75% of Shacos damage and receives 50% increased damage


Overall View

His passive seems something really fun to play around now. Being able to place boxes while in Q is pretty amazing. The Boxes last longer based on Shacos AP. 2 Shiv has alot more damage as an execute. Ult drops mini boxes which seems pretty cool

Also worth noting that Q duration scales with ranks and has an AP ratio now. Lich Bane + Gunblade Shaco is gonna be hella fun I think.

Kinda iffy on the box changes; as far as I know they still have 150 HP at all levels, and with a 2 second arm time, they're still gonna get 1-shot mid/late game. Duration increase is good, but HP scaling would have been better.

I'm REALLY hoping they fix all the bugs regarding Shaco's clone, otherwise the buffs won't matter whatsoever. More boxes is nice, but again that 2 second arm time is going to hurt their usefulness.

E ratio nerfs were inevitable IMO, but the slow is a more consistent 20%. Coupled with the buffed passive, his clears shouldn't be too heavily impacted, and the execute damage makes up for the loss of burst against champions.

I don't play Shaco (although I've considered adding him to my champion pool a few times).

The biggest thing that stands out to me is that Shaco will be classified as Invisible which means... Pink Wards won't see him.

I'm wondering if the Invis classification is enough of an incentive for me get serious about learning Shaco. Champions like Eve or Rengar are classified Camou which means are revealed by pink wards. I think that's the right classification for them, but if I want to play an assassin style, I think I might want Invis instead of Camou... I just am curious how much utility people think that the Invis classification will add to Shaco's kit.

Also, I'm unclear if Shaco Jack in the Box is Invis or Camou. The box "hides"... what does that mean?

The biggest thing that I really like about him being Invis is the fact that when an enemy team is sieging and they are sitting on 3 pink wards, Shaco can at least do his job to pop the adc or apc. The boxes will most likely be revealed by pink wards and things of the nature due to how long they are hidden.

I was wondering that as well (about whether the boxes could be revealed from the new pinks).

But since they can stay longer based on AP now, it's only logical that they are (+hide from view is most likely camouflaged than invis)
