Quick question about shaco

How come when in the patch notes it says that the balance department doesn't like how he can burst from stealth, yet the keep the stealth time and gut his damage and force him to a bruiser role? Also if i may add, how come riven's ability to wait in a bush for a minute or two, pop someone like a zit, and walk away considered balanced and when shaco does it, it's considered crazy broken and unbalanced? I know that shaco needed the nerfs but reducing the stealth on Q instead of taking the damage would've been more than enough in my opinion. I'd just like a rioters opinion maybe and a discusion can form about my beloved dead champion

Because Riven needs to spend a minute in the bush.

Garen can do the same.

Meanwhile Shaco just trolls over a wall.

"Waaaaaah, why isn't Shaco broken anymore?"

They might not have been perfect nerfs, but they sure were good nerfs.

bronze players do not want to play around shaco kit, and they are majority of the league. Shaco jumped to high winrate just because he is played by shaco mains, who were able to fit in the meta now due to tank items being super efficient (and lethality items broken at some point)

even if you remove ALL damage from shaco's kit, bronzies will still die to thunderlord+sunfire damage+sheen proc. Riot doesn't want to adress tank items porblem for now, it is easier to keep majority satisfied by gutting one of the champs, rather than whole fucked up system.

At the same time, they don't want to nerf truly broken shit like Ivern, because they think he has counterplay. Yes he does, but it doesnt make him less broken.
