The assassin 'rework' is just an excuse to nerf Shaco

Called it before it even happened.

Why does Riot hate so much? The clown hasnt seen pro play since the beginning of LoL.

How does it nerf Shaco?

Riot is making so Pink ward won't reveal him anymore when he go invisible so

They nerfed his Q AND E damage, his boxes dont stack so he cant jungle, and his E doesnt reduce monster damage so again he cant jungle. Like wtf are you supposed to do with him now?

His boxes can still be used to jungle, and despite E nerfs, his backstab does extra damage to monsters so jungling is no less viable than it should.

I wouldn't say the whole rework was intended to cripple him but riot most definitely do not want shaco to ever become viable.

I mean shaco requires skill, it's not like you roll your face on the keyboard and get a penta like other champions, you actually need to know how to play him to do well with him. What riot did was take away whatever dominance he had early on and give him nothing to compensate, they do it every time shaco somehow becomes somewhat viable, Riot hates shaco and whoever plays shaco.

Yah that whole dropping 3 boxes by the clone thing is a completely useless gimmick intended to distract us from the fact that its a massive nerf. Real Shaco players see right through that.

Despite the fact that I've tested on PBE and it most certainly feels like a nerf...

This post went about saying that in the wrong way. You didn't give any reasons why, you just blamed Riot.

because his kit isnt meant for pro play and he is easily countered in high elo

Neko CaitlynOct 23, 20162 votes

Then why nerf?

SwiftKitten88Oct 23, 20161 votes

you mean make it so he isn't the most toxic champ in the game to play against?

i mean my god.. he is an evil clown with a dagger.. he is designed to give little children nightmares.

I can name about 70 champions more "toxic" to play against then Shaco. 1 CC and hes dead.

Ive never complained or gotten frustrated playing vs Shaco. Maybe its because I played him a lot so I know exactly what he can and cant do. But anyways that is your opinion and you have a right to it.

oSEXYPLATYPUSoOct 23, 20161 votes

cuz he is a clown and isnt viable in coordinated pro team play
