Power budget was the word Pink was looking for. There's some champs that basically have 0 passive, or have abilities that seem nonexistent, and it's because their gameplay is so uninteractive or polarizing. Annie, TF, Alistar, Teemo, Blitz, Fizz, Sivir, Jax, Nasus, Ryze, Nidalee, Zilean, Rammus, Shen, etc. A lot of reworked champs were like this, as well as the champs currently in need of one. Old Gangplank was a big one since his old passive was literally just a magic dmg dot with the smallest slow to it, and his E was just an AD and movespeed steroid, but because his ult was so ridiculously impactful in organized play, they had to turn him into a weak stat stick champion to balance his power. Mel is now another champ with a very heavily partitioned power budget. She has game changing impact with her W, but her Q and E does quite poor damage, and her snare hitbox is super thin. She has barely any agency compared to similar mages, and relies on enemy spells she can reflect and her allies to set up for her to be as effective as those other mages. Syndra, Hwei, Orianna, and Lux don't need that since the power is spread evenly across their abilities. Shaco is in the same position, because a lot of his mechanics are not interactive. His boxes being invisible, forcing the enemy to buy a trinket and forego vision otherwise they could be cc chained at a moments notice is extremely frustrating to play against. No matter the damage of it, it's very unfun to navigate around it when you don't have to do that for other champs. Full invisibility gap closer on a short cd, and an ult that has such insane utility for how short of a cd it has, with no discernable way to easily get away from it are the biggest reasons though. The damage from the clone explosion is really polarizing too since AP shaco relies heavily on it hitting. It's like a Nidalee spear not hitting, unable to do anything until you do, except Shaco has to wait 30-50 seconds to try again. The power level of both of the abilities are completely different depending on AP or AD. It's the reason why his passive is so weak, and why the slow passive is gated behind an ability you only want to max 2nd whether you're playing AD or AP. It's why E does negligible damage until you have enough AP, not even skill ranks. He has stupid mechanics like backstab which doesn't even really work correctly since turn speed in the game is near instant. In a game like Dota, turn speed is a lot slower and it's a more feasible and reliable mechanic to have in it, but not League. Especially when a huge portion of your damage gets cut if you don't get the backstab on Q.

[@danknuggins]

What if they made shacos boxes explode when they were killed before the activation timer ran out? Something I thought of that might help him out a bit, but idk enough about the game to know if it would be OP.

I love playing shaco and i learned alot from you , you are totally right they shouldn’t and wouldn’t change anything about this champ or I’ll quit this game

didn't know shaco was in the top 1/3 of most played champ wild (that was my 1st thought when you showed that there are 170 champs in lol)

Bro keep going jg You are cooking

[@maddnesalin2727]

This Skarner is insane, he play very good

[@familiaayres2751]

To make shaco more viable, it doesn't need a rework, just increase a little base status or a little more CDR in a specific skill. So new players play with the doll and old players take advantage of the doll.

[@lepetitcurieuxoklm9401]

the idea of reworking shaco isn’t just about making him viable. sure, he could get buffed and become viable, but the real issue is that he probably won’t be. why? because shaco is designed to be a frustrating champ, especially in lower elo, where most of the player base exists. so, the point of a rework wouldn’t just be about balancing him ,it’d be about updating him to keep up with newer champions while also lowering his high ban rate. but at the same time, those changes could end up alienating his current player base, which makes it a tricky situation. why do we care about lowering his ban rate? simple, so he can be balanced in a healthy way based on his actual strengths, not just his toxicity or how strong some people think he is.

[@ahmetcelik3248]

That dragon steal was impressive, bro.

[@atrixiousscramasax6686]

6:00 lol riot! hitbox is so spaghetti nowadays

[@Kazuki_22]

does that 6:05 trick consistently work?

[@maddnesalin2727]

Im just start playing shaco because i see your videos, i start ap shaco but its too hard for me and i give up, now i play ad shaco jg and is more easy than ap, i like both, but ap is too hard.

[@lexolus1308]

Problem with the champ unironically is that it has too much skill expresion, they will not buff it, they would have to decrease invis time, increase cooldowns and then they can buff everything else a litle, its also kinda sad couse right know its pretty un usable mid/low elo couse the amount of brainded tanks and bruisers and ad is unplayable unless 5-4 squishy's, and mages tank forever and oneshot

[@nomonada]

i don't think shaco needs a rework, it just needs boxes to have multiple hits to remove them. its entirely unproductive that you can place a box and it can be immediately 1 shot by almost anything, or if theres 5 boxes together something like a syndra with a scanner can clear them all instantly with a Q. it defeats the purpose of them. They are essentially the exact same as a teemo shroom so they should have the same life as them, fwiw boxes should also last longer as well. Its the bare minimum they can do to make it a prominent champion. Now if we wanna bring shaco to 2025 and make him relevant like all the dipshit champs riot adds. Then we'd probably add a passive to his Q that it gets reset on champion takedown. Which arguably still wouldn't even be that ridiculous because its just a Khazix ult. But mainly the absolute biggest flaw is that boxes can be instant cleared right when placed. It's basically the game saying "no you can't use that ability". Which is heavily anti gameplay. If i'm putting down a box in a team fight it shouldn't immediately disappear because of random AOE damage from garens E or something. It just makes no sense. They need the same life worthiness as teemo shrooms. In the same instance of like defending turrets if i put a box down on one thats being sieged then its pretty typical it gets 1 shot by any ability or the enemy adc autoing it once. So then i don't get to use the box to try and stop the siege. Meanwhile there's plenty of other champs that can very easily throw all their abilities into the wave to stop the siege. And even a teemo shroom can be tossed in and almost always activate before being destroyed.

[@demonicdondo4626]

No they arent supposed to throw random into teamfights, they are supposed to be placed exactly where the enemy wants to walk so he gets stunned when he wants to escape. The boxes dont need much life for that i would say they even have a bit to much and i say this eith lvl 12 on him so i like to play him

[@ryomaanime4563]

ok so let balance shaco ! *W as strong as an ult (what you said is a lot better than teemo ult btw, ult he pays with a shitty kit) *Q as strong as an ult (dash invisibility reset with crit when you come out, that's better than any comparable ult) yep, no thanks

[@Josh-ty8yn]

Remove his boxes and clone and add juggling and a flower that shoots water

[@theezain]

Power distribution I think is what he was trying to say

[@atrixiousscramasax6686]

6:50 "riot dont want to f up a champ so that will anihilate the player base." sorry pinkward but you are absolutely wrong: instead of creating 2 new champs they completely f up skarner and asol. they could easily say "oh we forgot to put in the lore that those 2 has twin bros" and instead what they do? removing 2 one trick ponies. shaco probably has lots of players cause they give rework to those who are not played enough by their statistics.

[@respectvibes]

They already reworked shaco and fucked him up hard.

What about old alkali before she got reworked ? She had a high play rate but still reworked her

Coping hard .... I understand how much you love the champ as it is and how much time you've put into it ... HOWEVER ... all the arguments you made are the same for Asol and irelia ... both got an overhaul

[@davidmoak1219]

THPPPPPPPPP. That's the extent of your ability to have an intelligent conversation. My ass emits less shit.

[@uchiwou]

Irelia was reworked during a much different time, an Asol had no PB, Shaco is amongst the most played champions in the game if what he said is correct. Asol had little to no playerbase, and iirc Irelia pb has gotten much better since rework. I do think reworking shaco is crazy as he’s a specialist. It would be like reworking Singed, making it very true that Riot would have an enormous chance to alienate the entire playerbase of those champions if they full on gave them a rework.

[@alfavhunter7010]

How to rework shaco. W boxes now have stealth, not invis (think twitch Q, adjust the range of becoming visible). Boxes now have ward hp taking 2 damage from direct attacks, 1 from aoe, and have 3 hp. Gaining 1 HP per point in R. The boxes damage puts a debuff on the enemy that grounds them for 1 second and still does its fear on triggering. shacos ult clone will now also perform ability animations of W and E if in range to have used the ability at target location and the boxes it creates also causes the grounding effect. (Also has 3 times the ward hp of normal boxes as the 3 boxes share hp) There, i fixed shaco. More counterplay, but more utility and mind game while ward hp on boxes keeps them from being 1 shot.
