SHACO IS TRASH

RIOT I just want to say my fav champ who i main is now TRASH. He is not good anymore and regardless of what skin he is in his animation, movement is trash. SHACO NEEDS A REWORK AND A VISUAL UPDATE AND ALSO A NEW STORY TO MATCH. SHaco walks with two daggers like a child carrying safety scissors. YOU GIVE AKALI which i think is stupid because she is already OP and you make her more OP. You gave akali a good rework so i have to say good work with that but what happen to SHACO. Atleast give shaco more animations and more things to say besides saying why so serious all the time.

Shaco needs a VGU to even be able to get balanced. Riot could remove all damage from his kit and not much would change, because Shaco's damages comes from tiamat, Trinity and especially Duskblade.

Currently Shaco plays very simple: { Wait for enemies to get low and overstay --> kill them or Wait for enemies too push too far --> use boxes ---> get kill } if Shaco has Duskblade { kill everything } else { Wait for enemies to get low and overstay --> kill them or Wait for enemies too push too far --> use boxes ---> get kill }

There is not trickery in that champ anymore. Damage escalation turned him into a champion that is either a monster or Ronald Mc Donald

Well, Shaco is a minion with a static AOE fear with 0 burst and medium DPS, a mobility medium cooldown camouflage that has been nerfed into oblivion (sadly not the elder scrolls' Oblivion), a trickery ult that any experienced player who played often against Shaco can differenciate from the real one (especially because it doesn't copy shaco's animations for spells unlike someone else's clone and his DPS is purely dependent of Shaco's items), and his passive needs setup.

All this combined makes Shaco even worse than Ashe in the current state of the game. At least he has an escape, but when behind unlike ult bot ashe he can't do shit except over ward, but Teemo does it better while being better at everything, having a cheaper build, more base damage, DOT and range (and ms buff if it counts).

Like stated, why play Shaco when Wukong, who plays nearly without a passive, has access to Shaco's playstyle but he can make it just 10x better? His base damage on ult is higher than Shaco, he can AOE armor shred with BC, armor shred with Q, hits 3 targets on E dash and block skillshots with W while being camouflaged. Shaco deals damage, has a mini fear that is completely placement dependent and his kit is completely underwhelming. Any jungler beats him 1v1 or just farms/ganks better, while bringing more damage or CC to the game. Even Elise. Even any non jungler champion played jungle. Shaco depends on gold for everything since he's a minion.

Shaco has the highest win rate of any jungler. So I'd say that alone would mean he couldn't be trash.

Also I main Shaco, 850k mastery points.

Shaco is really good right now, the problem is that he is boring as fuck.

someone called Riot on the phone and said that their dad owns Tencent QQ ( the biggest sponsor of Riot ) and that if they nerf Shaco "into the ground" they will convince their dad to make an additional donation ($$$). I can't believe it worked.... So for all Shaco mains out there : GOOD LUCK!

It's worth noting that in Diamond, Shaco has a ~5.5% pick rate (considered average and healthy) with a nearly ~54% win rate.

He has maintained this kind of monster stats for quite a long time already (as demonstrated by the "Historic" tab on the same site), yet for some reason Shaco players still think he's weak, and Riot is still listening their claim that the champ is trash.
