Rito, pls do some buff to shaco on his ap side - in the meantime. I suggest that his boxes should be stacking - just like teemo's shrooms, and he can hold up to 2 boxes in the time. What u guys think ? I know, he will be reworked soon, but for now it will don't change him to op champ, and just help to run out of teamfight, where he assasinated their adc or something :D Shaco

I think the idea of having stackable boxes is a great idea. although with all the escapes shaco already has, placing two boxes when trying to get away might be a little too strong

Check out other champs -e.g. Kassadin 1,5 sec flash cooldown, Nidalee crazy jumps, Azir's soldiers. Shaco if will go all in with his q - he has nothing, except 0,5 sec blink on his R. Player who did bad move is punished by enemy team very hard. I think placing his boxes on strategical places will help with having more fun with this champ. Im crying much of his boxes, cause this skill is lovely - there is no other tactical assasin in LoL. But when u have 10 sec cd (with 40% cd reduction on assasin !!! - it's not so good) on 1 box, and you want to prepare battlefield for teamfight - in solo queues it's almost always leaving a team without you - and imagine that teamfight starts on the other place, and your stacked boxes are useless.

See also, how often people play him. Rito wants to add diversity to champs, items - and see people playing any champ. Shaco doesn't need rework yet, well Rito has to prepare Yorick, Poppy, Urgot, and other first, so it will take a lot time. That's reason, that i ask for this little buff until they fully rework him, cause every old champ will get that. He has very fun mechanic, but hard, and playing him is like two-edged sword. You are good, or you are zero. And if i understand Rito logic - it isn't good for them.

Please Rito, try it out on PBE - it wouldn't be op I present 3 options :

  • Boxes stacking up to two (like Azir soldiers)

  • Added cooldown per lvl reduced (16/15/14/13/12)

  • Minions can't activate boxes (but once activated boxes can attack minions if no champ is around

Highly recomended combination of these effects. I have in mind Ap scaling to boxes HP, but it's not for now

summoner 11 Pls Riot, don't dissapoint me, and although read this :P summoner 11

PS. Im' very proud of your work on this game. You are absolute liders of taking care of your game item 3028

PS 2 - have u tried hybrid shaco with IE, hydra, runeglaive (before rework), and void staff ? :D 1k cryt with magick dmg

R.I.P item 3708

Why has rito not done this?

I think shaco is good where he is I main him and he seems fine to me as a ad crit assassin.

or a top lane brawler. hydra, pd, cleaver, serk greaves, fm, zzrot. push lanes like crazy, escape all day or if its only one person, engage them with ult.

I hope they don't buff shaco. He does 2 things and he does them insanely well. He counter jungles certain enemy jungles into the ground He has a dynamic hit and run assasin play that works great.

Yeah he has a harder time in late game team fights, but he makes up for it with early game and a very nice split push potential. He just has a different play style. Personally I hate the guy due to his hard control of jungle but that doesnt mean I want him gone(unlike zed who I wish could be deleted so hard we all forget he ever existed)

thing is he doesnt have an early game anymore :D

since we r necro'ing this lets do it. shaco rework is really bad it prolly completely gutted him in every way.

mistermath3141 votes

I'm a shaco main myself. Shaco was not gutted. In fact, he was made quite interesting, especially with the change to his ult. The only shaco build that was deleted was crit shaco, which WAS broken. The curret meta ubild, Ap/hybrid shaco, is absolutely balanced and fun. It takes both decisive box usage and clone play by shaco do do well, but all that does is raise the skill floor and ceiling, which I am perfectly fine with. overall, AP shaco is pretty hype right now. Rito did fine.
