Nami and Vayne vs Ashe and Shaco

Ashe poke is broken and brainless already but slightly doable with a healing supp. Then you step 0.0000001 units to the right of a friendly minion that is somehow that close to a box without triggering it - and insta dead. Repeat until 15minutes.

In one patch a meme support main jungler with an average win rate at best turned into a 55%+ winrate support, with only 1 champion lower than a 50% win rate against (volibear, a very specialized support already).

What a fun champion that truly belongs in bot lane. No argument here.

(Sarcasm if wasn't clear). Nerf shaco boxes or make minions trigger them from slightly farther away. Make the fear duration scale with AD/AP or something so its very neglible early and support Shacos cannot terrorize you early and fall off quickly so I can delay hating myself until me and my ADC get out of laning phase and fight the 19/0 Akali. That is all.

(not to mention I was silver 3 in a game full of platinum+. With no silver players on enemy team. Yay balanced matchmaking... but I guess that's another topic for another day.)

PS. I know h'es getting nerfed next patch. I just don't see how these things are oversights when there is a huge collab of beta test players telling Riot these things. Aside from a full-fledged rework no champion's winrate, playrate, and success be increased or decreased by a single patch so much that Shaco has now. (Garen too but again different topic different day).

I just saw someone play a shaco support a couple of games ago. I had no idea it was a thing. And I was like, okay cool. I was Zyra. I thought my plants would help. Nope. His jacks insta kill my plants and still go on to live for an hour. Whatever. Guess I will learn to play Sancho support.
