Other champions in league are just hard mechanics or do one trick pony, WHILE SHACO IS INTERESTING EVERY GAME USING MIND GAMES TO TRICK OPPONENTS DIFFERENTLY EVERY GAME.
For example, le blanc is qwe and then kill her with burst instantly, while shaco takes more tricking.
I feel deep pleasure when enemies die when they step into my clone and I am long gone and engage again secretly and when I get low, get them into boxes and flash away. lol
They do plan to give Shaco a full VGU (Visual and Gameplay Update) at some point, focused on turning him much more into a trickster.
One idea they had a while ago while they were working on this concept was to have his ult make him disappear from the game, launch a projectile in target direction, then reappear where it lands with himself and a clone. However, play testing of this ability didn't go according to plan when it they threw it at Yasuo's still in-development Wind Wall - and Shaco disappeared from the game permanently. Never reappeared, no respawn because he didn't die, nothing. Just, poof, no Shaco. This bug in and of itself is the sole reason the Shaco rework got shelved and then other projects being more important is why he hasn't had his rework into the trickster of League of Legends yet.
