He's not a good split pusher because of his pushing power, he's a good split pusher for the same reason that tryndamere is. He is incredibly safe. Deceive lets him get out of an unbelievable amount of tricky situations, and thats what makes him strong. Yes, he does nothing in team fights. But if you played him well enough during the early and mid game, your team should be strong enough to hold their own 4v5 while you kill the enemy inhib.

I also noticed you ignored the biggest point i was trying to get across. Balance is impossible without stagnating the game, and we're doing just fine where we are. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish with any of your points in your response, they don't address anything except apparently your obsession with Shaco. Look at Shaco's kit, in depth, for just a moment please. Not a single part of his kit lends itself to him being a strong teamfighter, why would you try and force him into that situation? He's a decent duelist, and okay in skirmishes, but it was clear he was never meant to do well in 5v5 team fights. That is his weakness, if you focus just on his weakness and not at all on his strong points, then i don't understand why you bother to play this game, that just sounds depressing.
