Is Shaco in the sights for a healthier kit change?

Shaco is one of those champions that makes you lose your shit. Invisibility plus blink, wards and hard CC, a slow that does a lot of damage, and an invulnerability ult that isn't so bad if it wasn't with the rest of his kit. He is super frustrating to go against, despite him falling off late game. I'm not saying that he's OP, just annoying and rage-inducing. His best ability is to put you on tilt.

Are you guys looking at Shaco changes, that will make him ~~fun~~ bearable to play against? Just wondering if there will be a day where I feel safe.

EDIT: Ok I never said he is OP. Thats not the point of the post. Shaco gets a lot of immunity because he is an older champ.

Sorry bud. Shaco doesnt need a rework. He is designed to be tricky. A threat that looms over you, and you gotta watch out for. He is countered by keeping tabs on him. You saw him top lane? Go ahead and push. Oh, you ran into him in the river. Hes setting up for a gank. Better stay back.

Just turn his shiv into a skillshot. That's what they did with Rengar's bola shot, and now he's much more manageable.

Nothing is more fun than having a Shaco jungle and a Teemo top. Pretty much a guaranteed surrender at 20.

Shaco has weaknesses, your not suppose to fight him on his terms, that why he's winning.

As for a shaco rework he doesn't need one. he's perfectly fine where he is. some changes that would be needed would be better AI on his ult and something on his kit that scales because he falls off horribly in the lategame

AHAHAHAHAHAHHA jesus. Hard CC. You mean that JITB , that thing that has a wind up time, small aoe (so you can actually walk away from if you aren't dumb and cornered yourself?)and can be destroyed/negated by trinket is hard CC?

ig i can just say. i play alot of shaco, and what makes people hate shaco (in my opinion) is not that hes really strong, or op, or insanely mobile, its the fact that hes nigh impossible to catch. shaco has a very simple kit, but a very high skill floor and skill cap. when done right, shaco is VERY rewarding, when you fuck up, nobody hardly gets punished harder than shaco. in addition, he has not innate waveclear or sustain, meaning if he doesnt get gold from ganks, he may have a hard time getting his items. you want to nerf toxic champion, reksai. she has high mobility, vision, damage(true damage), aoe, global ult, stealth detection, and slows. as well as more than 1 dash is her tunnels are set up right. oh, but nerf shaco, his 150 health boxes and 1% slow shiv is op.....give me a break

his fear on boxes has little counterplay. get feared then walk 1 sec get feared by other box. should be more like udyr stun or second fear duration should be reduced or as though you had mercs + iron elixir worth of tenacity.
