And Shaco mains will all be moving on to something stronger and more infuriating to play against since Riot is one click away from deleting Shaco from the entire game and making Bruiser Shaco the only way to play the character.
Ben Sharpio7 votesthis is great news. Btw nothing is more infuriating than whatever the fuck tank/trinity force shaco is supposed to be. Your champs whole identity is dumb as fuck
ChickenWrap3 votesMy champion's identity isn't as a Bruiser. It's as an assassin, but I can guarantee to you that once these go through, no Shaco player in their right mind will be playing anything but Bruiser Shaco.
But what would you know? You don't play the champion, you've probably never played the champion. You look at one build and bitch about the entire champion because of it when that build only arose because Riot keeps removing his ability to use his other, more interactive builds one patch at a time.
And here's a list of things more infuriating than Bruiser Shaco:
Bruiser Fizz Riven Yasuo Vayne Lulu Maokai Rengar Kha'Zix Graves Fiora
Hmm...
JavelinJoe1 votesWayne
Like Batman? I mean I guess he kinda is.
ChickenWrap1 votesAutocorrect OP, y'know?
Paquay3 votesWait, you find Lulu and Maokai more infuriating than Shaco?..
I thought they only made pot legal.
ChickenWrap1 votesI know how to play against Shaco. It's very easy.
Lulu and Maokai are different beasts altogether.
Lauchmelder3 votesGood. Shaco's just BS.
Skyphic 3 votesThe amount of times I've seen this kind of post only for shaco to be disgustingly strong for another patch before more nerfs come and THEN someone plays ap shaco or some new shaco build and he's back to strong
I've seen shaco go from ad on hit to ap to ad burst to ap to ad to ap then to tank where he is now
ChickenWrap1 votesYou know Shaco changes every time because Riot keeps gutting the things Shaco uses or Shaco's kit directly, right? With no buffs to Shaco, his build changes to the next optimal build, which is always worse than the last one. AP Shaco to AD Shaco back to AP Shaco is because AP Shaco got nerfed, then AD Shaco got nerfed harder, so AP Shaco is once again the best (although still worse than before). The only thing Shaco players should have to worry about is which AD or AP build they like to play. Riot can very easily optimize this, but they don't want to. They want to turn Shaco into a Bruiser for some stupid reason, and they're OK with that.
We are not.
Cloud2732 votesGood. **** Shaco.
Salron2 votesI think i've seen this exact thread the last 20 times he got nerfed after the rework yet still remained top tier
ChickenWrap1 votesForced to change builds into Bruiser. Forced out of what we play Shaco to do, and Shaco has generally always had a 52-54% win rate. Mostly due to the fact that nobody plays him except us, y'know?
L Psy Kongroo2 votesI'll probably still play Shaco, but only because I love the character so much. I hope Riot will see the error of their ways later down the line, but it seems like Shaco is destined to be the whipping boy for now.
It's quite sad because this all started with the so-called "re-work", before which Shaco was barely complained about at all (aside from the odd comment about "what do you think is the most annoying champion in the game?"). I knew from the start that it would herald the end of Shaco, but I decided to remain hopeful.
After these changes though, Shaco will end up being worse than a troll pick, while shit like Graves, Rengar, Ivern, Kha, and Lee continue to dominate the jungle until the end of time.
Titanium702 votesYou mean like...
That's now the thrid time I see posts like this... I won't belive it until I see it ingame!
ChickenWrap1 votesThe low stealth time transformed Shaco from a ganking Jungle into a farm-heavy Jungle with shit early-game but good late-game. All it did was shift where his power was.
AP Shaco was effectively deleted after those AP ratio nerfs and we had to transition to AD Shaco because of Lethality.
Now we're playing Bruiser Shaco because neither build is remotely good in comparison to Bruiser Shaco.
Riot is just making sure that Shaco players only play him as a Bruiser (or potentially some form of weird sustained-damage AP build?) with these changes.
Just want my assassin back, man. Just want him back.
Calabok2 votesLike BurgerKing motto - I'm Lovin it!
Kilanost1 votesMore annoying that Shaco? 
But will it jungle? lol
ChickenWrap1 votesThe answer is yes he can
Takito1 votesDunno, still seems really strong to me...
Tried him out yesterday after a long break from the jungle and got 4 first blood in a row (on 4 games for now) and won all 4.
Still playable IMO (around plat Elo)
