I'll have to disagree very strongly with you on Shaco. Shaco may seem balanced, but as a champion, he is extremely anti-fun. He has an instant blink+invis, with a decently low downtime, granting him immense juking power, far too immense. His kit overall is way too toxic since he can constantly slip out of teamfights, punishes an unlucky facecheck with death, even if the bush is warded, he can have no problem killing you with no reaction available, then clone which punishes you for guess wrong instead of just "Oh, focused the wrong one" its "Oh, focused the wrong one, now I killed myself/my teammate"

His kit overall is very toxic because he can get away with so much when in any situation he shouldn't be, and he is very hard to counter or predict, that pink ward  means nothing when he simply blinks and poofs out, or when his team backs off wasting the pink you placed to cover the area. Or, oh no! I'm already dead, and in about ten seconds, he can kill someone again.

The simple fact that his deceive exists means he needs a rework, along with his permaslow, and miss change on minions.
