User blog comment:LivesByProxy/A Fool's Hope: The Case For A Support Shaco/@comment-5035765-20151001195710/@comment-26815373-20151001220731

Nidalee is no longer classified as a support by Riot. My main point is that Shaco, being a Jester, screams support. His kit also hints toward it, and you can build to suit it. When Riot chooses to update/rework Shaco, I just want them to keep this perspective in mind. And if they wanted to work toward it, they'd probably find that it was Shaco all along.

Check out these changes. With the execption of his E, they're are all relatively minor QoL changes. I think they'd make Shaco much more fair, skill intensive, and impactful. :D

Also, Ekko wasn't designed to be a support but a 'utility assassin'. Thing is, that's exactly what Shaco is. Ekko is just more geared toward the ap assassin side of things. Shaco on the other hand, already has the scalings of a support.
