He can can gank from so many places. Warding can't cover the full area of his assault, pretty much like Rengar. He can Q further away to avoid you noticing the smoke too. Problem is that veteran players know that good shacos are always looking for a place to gank, rather than AFK farming the jungle. His jungle rute is also so easily disrupted; you can set him back a lot if you pop his early boxes at blue. All in all, he is more of a counterpick to weak early game junglers and squishy comps (neither of which is popular nowadays) added to the fact that he needs to close the game early on makes it hard to stand out as shaco, but not impossible if you have the right comp/skills.
