Shaco is gross

Today I was having a good win streak while playing zed. On one of my games I came across a shaco all I have to say is wow. His champion is actually disgustingly broken. He can go invis almost all the time, he just cant be killed, he sits behind his boxes and just make it so you cant kill him. Riot you honestly need to get on this, your game is great but it has many problems. Please help the community out by making the game better and nerfing a select few champs.

He just has an obnoxiously annoying kit. He's pretty weak atm.

Shaco is pretty balanced as is (evidenced by his barely above average jungle winrate - http://champion.gg/statistics/?league=gold#?sortBy=general.winPercent&order=descend&roleSort=Jungle ). Early game he has high damage, but his invisibility is very short, and on a high cooldown. Late game it's up longer and more often (as with every other champion's basic abilities), but his damage output falls off hard. It's a challenge for Shaco to even assassinate a squishy adc after about 35 minutes, because of the damage falloff he has. It's also worth noting that while his boxes can be annoying, they take a second to activate, do very little damage (unless he builds ap, in which case they're his ONLY damage), and can be seen with just a red trinket; something you should invest in if you're having problems with him. If your issue is that he can use them to block skillshots (hiding behind them, as you claimed) I'd like to mention that Heimerdinger, Malzahar, and Zyra all have pets on lower cooldowns that summon faster. Pets are common enough that it's just part of the game, not a broken ability. Shaco can be annoying, and is definitely a bit of a game health problem, since he isn't extremely fun to play against, but I think he is pretty fairly balanced.

A good shaco will make the enemy cry. A bad shaco will make his team cry.
