riot can you admit you simply wanted to gut shaco?

you said it was to give ''more counterplay'' ok but how do you do that if you don't change how his kit works? the counterplay before and after the rework is the exact same, only difference is shaco now feels bad to play because you got that 5 damage E till you reach lvl 9 because it's mandatory to max Q otherwise you cannot successful gank.

I try not to bash but the argument that it was done to give more counterplay is simply not true, besides duration his Q did not change at all which leaves his counterplay the exact same
