Shaco needs a buff, his "Q" invisibility needs to be longer. Shaco can not go without at least 3 points in "Q" in order for a reliable gank , thus making his other abilities do less damage. Shaco boxes are easily countered when pink wards are near by or sweeper is active (at least make them still fear), and his ult's mini boxes are very weak especially if that you kill one they all die as well. Please Fix!
Draehl1 votesAP Shaco definitely needs buffs. AD could actually use a slight nerf- but then again assassins in general do too much damage at the moment so I wouldn't pin it on him specifically. AP Shaco requires a good bit more skill/planning, especially to use the boxes to their fullest effect.
The Jokés On You1 votesyes then the boxes need to be changed.
Kaìju1 votesThe issue with Shaco is he is very binary in who has fun. If he's behind he doesn't have fun. If he's ahead others don't have fun. His kit is dated and it shows in that they have an assassin hard CC, which is very niche and his gameplay reflects that. However much like with LB who is an illusionist, it's hard to make that fantasy come to life as a trickster in a game like League.
But if Shaco gets a rework the mains would all cry he's not the same.

Would you be prepared for his Q to become like Rengar's ultimate? Shaco's Q is probably his biggest issue because he can literally appear out of nowhere, undetected and potentially kill in an instant.
The Jokés On You1 votesbut he does no damage in early game. and it takes some lucky kill steals or fortunate ones to at least get some items going. Shaco only chunks squishy champions after 30 mins implying that he is doing decent.
WarHero541 votesCheck out my strat. Its an AP Lethality build if you go top its a really good snowball strat and Duskblade alone compensates for the E and Backstab being useless late game if you go straight AP. AP Lethality Shaco I find lvl 2 Q is the best balance to use till later cause it gives you enough time to surprise or escape.
EndersBread1 votesThis is not something they need to "fix." Shaco is balanced and the reason they made his Q last shorter at earlier levels was to make him not as strong early game as it was unhealthy. His mini boxes are fine. If Shaco's boxes can't be detected, how are you supposed to defend against them?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7IwrNVlq2s This is White Crow's solo queue tricks. In the first minutes of the video he shows you how to make extra long jumps so that you can still gank decently.
KoalaBomber1 votesShaco isn’t a very sensitive subject when it comes to buffing, the main problem is that unless he farms hard for ie and dusk, he will not be useful. His main objective is that he needs to snowball team mates and hopefully himself however if the enemy team plays passive or the enemy jg gets fed shaco is easily shut down and stops being useful for the entire game. The main problem is any buffs to ad will basically make him one shot anyone that isn’t a bruiser or tank. Basically shaco relies too much on snow ball whilst every other jg can dominate way too hard and he just isn’t worth playing in higher elo and is punished in low elo
