discussion on shaco clone gameplay

ForgottenoO0·Apr 6, 2015·6 votes·757 views

First off i have a question to riot.. why does shaco's "e" cancel flight if the enemy enters an unwarded brush/area while gangplank's "q" ignores this fact.. Gangplanks q still follows you and connects even if you enter a brush thats unwarded midflight. If this e behaviour can not be changed... shouldnt shaco be rewarded the mana cost and cooldown on e back?

Secondly I strongly believe that shacos "r" clone should "be identical to the champion" it should have a buff ring at the base of the clone just like the original champ... only then would it be identical in everyway.. to reittirate imagine a shaco is mid laning or jungling... Shaco has a low mana pool.. and preferrs to have blue to be effective in lane or for ganking... if a player on the other team is knowledgeable he or she can deduce quite easily which shaco is real and which is the clone due to the buff not appearing on the clone of shaco. I believe that that is not how his ultimate should function... please comment below on what you think.

The E Is probably a bug - try the "Report a bug" section or send in a Help and support ticket.

The clone thing is just because it would be OP any other way - although the dragon buff changing him could probably be changed.

the point of his ultimate is to fool the enemy player... how can one do that when the clone is not identical.. any well minded person can figure it out very easily that way the fake from the real thing.. and I believe it should not work like that.

I am not saying that it shouldn't, just that he would have to be fairly harshly nerfed in other areas to compensate.

Out of curiosity, do you think he should/would be nerfed if the buffs were visual only? So you had the red ring around you, but your attacks didn't actually burn?

I would. It would be a very big buff.

Having played far too much AP shaco in urf, i'll tell ya that e shiv follows them, even out of your vision. Boy does it follow them.

let me clarify.. his e ability will cancel if the enemy enters an unwarded bush mid cast and you loose the mana and have a cooldown on the ability.. I am well aware that it will follow you to any point on the map.. but this seems like a glitch that should be fixed or reward the mana consumption back and the cooldown back.

I haven't come across that problem, sorry.

I'm personally of the opinion that the buffs should copy visually, but not their effects.

For example, lets say you smite Raptors then ult. Both Shaco's would have the pink rings around them, indicating they have the Raptor buff, but only the one on the real Shaco would give True Sight near a ward.
