Riot is a company that lives off the balance in the game, it's the devs job to balance the game, if they decide that Shaco has too much early game damage and lacks lategame power, it's probably because he does. If they think that changing the scaling and going from total to bonus will solve the problem, it's because it will. If they didn't now what they were doing, then they wouldn't be working for Riot in the first place.

It's not because a champ has a nerfed early game that he won't have a better late game. That's the entire point of changing the scalings. Kassadin has a shitty early and still kicks ass lategame, even if he is an AP burster. And yes, if you have blue you DO use shiv active to speed up the taking of your or enemy buffs when counterjungling, it saves precious time and doesn't cost anything major.

E active IS supposed to be a damage steroid that's used to finish off opponents and burst in general; that's why the passive is deactivated during active cooldown. It will probably have a much better impact on enemy health than before with the new scalings if you build AD. And the entire point IS TO CHANGE SHIV FROM BEING A (bad) UTILITY ABILITY TO A DAMAGING ONE LATEGAME, hence the buff coupled with the nerf to avoid imbalance.

You stfu, play the champ before posting.
