Is Shaco OP?
His winrates are off the chart in every region - at least in Plat+ (I haven't checked lower). I'm not sure why people complain about champions like Vi or Rengar when Shaco has nearly 5% winrate on them.

He isn't OP in the true word meaning, yet he rise this patch ( 7. 3 ), because Rengar and Kha were nerfed. Also ever since s7 stealth changes, I think there is less and less counter to stealth champions. A good shaco player i think IS OP- but not because of his numbers, but because of how he plays - He abuses the fact that early game, people won't have so many pink wards bought, he also is a cheese champion, who ganks at lvl 1-2 ish, trying to snowball. He is insanely good objective controller, because a good shaco player, invaded enemy jungle, wards everything up and has a perfect set up for taking easy drakes etc. He is also quite splitpushy, with his clone and overall slipperiness. He is a champion meant to annoy and tilt people, who are not well prepared for him.
Also what makes him hit so hard currently are those stupid lethality changes/items. Gods i fraking hate them. They are everywhere, top laners build them, adc builds them, junglers build them... How is a squishy mid laner/support champion supposed to survive such burst.. But yes, I think he is the new ' Rengo' in terms of being able to solo carry a game. They nerfed his ridiculous ap/ad hybrid thing in preseason, but now, due to lethality and the overall game state, he dominates the jungle -- > thus dominating SoloQ
lol why do u even need to ask this.. he is the freaking definition of "OP" right now...
