Shaco and Flash

SlashStriker··4 votes·941 views

Why Shaco has **- 3.5 seconds stealth

  • that is also a blink type ability**
  • does extra damage
  • on 11 seconds cooldown
  • all of this in 1 ability

But Flash has 5 minutes cooldown

Meanwhile Wukong 1.5 seconds stealth on 18 seconds cooldown which is not blink type ability

Because each has a completely different kit and do completely different things each stage of the game.

Why are you even complaining about Shaco while everyone else complains about having him on their team, lol

Because his stealth system cannot be seen at all. Even if people say LOOK AT THE CLOUD the thing is he does it from so far away that i cannot see the cloud on my screen and shaco appears right behind me from literally nowhere

i never heard any complaining about shaco ever

Odds are if he used decieve to attack you that you can punish him for using his escape tool offensively...unlike some other assassins I can think of atm.

oh right.. he used one of his THREE escape tools.

he can teleport.. turn invicisble throw down a box in a bush to prevent you from chasing him becuase it will CC you use a clone.. and make you guess which is the real one

Exactly. Shaco is actually the posterboy for a healthy assassin. Leblanc, fizz, zed, ekko, etc are all highly problematic champions.

Shaco doesn't have the luxury of getting tanky like wu kong so he needs his stealth to either get in and get a kill without getting instantly bursted down or to get away because he's made out of paper and dies within seconds.

Learn to buy pink wards if you think shaco is op.

Shaco doesnt usually take flash, he takes ignite+smite

His Q also has an indicator showing when he used it, even in fog of war

It's not that he doesn't need flash because he's ''too good''. He doesn't NEED flash because his ONLY purpose is to dish out as much damage as possible in the lowest time possible, hopefully killing their carry(ies) in the process before backing out. Taking ignite instead of flash simply means that you'll be getting a little bit more damage, sacrificing your getaway to kill an enemy carry.
