Played a fair amount of the rework as AD Jungle and fell in love with it since most of the changes compliment my way of playstyle a lot ^_^

The crits are maybe a bit weaker than his old crits but they surely are more fun to play around with and feel super satisfying simply because of the sound effect :D Nothing better than Q'ing while in a fight with a low hp enemy and patiently waiting for the passive to come of cooldown >:]

His Q is nearly impossible to gank with on first rank so you have to rank it up first currently, which, honestly, does not feel as bad as I thought it probably would. 4.5 seconds of invis are amazing for assassinating since you can wait around your target a lot longer to attack them at the perfect moment. Also, screw pink wards: Your impact on the game (especially the later parts of the game and your ability to contest objectives) is no longer determind by the enemies capability of buying a 75 gold item. (psst... you can even do an entirely stealthed recall with Baron buff now~)

The only thing I can say about boxes nowadays is that the better cast time (which is faster) allows you to pull off Blitz and Thresh Outplays a lot better now.

I was expecting his E to be nearly useless by now but that luckily isn't the case. More slow on the first few ranks makes maxing Q a lot more forgiving and the level scaling executing damage makes the ability still be relevant damage-wise in early game. The removed monster attackspeed slow is, for some reason, not even noticable for me at least, it's not like you "can't jungle at all" now.

And holy moly do I love this triangle: Apparently, my entire casual playstyle was always focussed around fooling people into killing my clones, which is why my Q into R/ Q into leash distance clone is now getting me incredible amounts of success. The zone control of these cute lil' boxes is awesome. (Also, got a post-mortem kill by my clone stabbing someone after I died. gj buddy)

Overall, as someone who read through a lot of feedback on the Shaco changes from the community, he hasn't turned into a hybrid assassin from what I have seen so far. The only stuff that didn't work out at all were riot's attempts to push him more into a lategame spot: Since he simply cannot clear Krugs or Raptors without a Tiamat he just invest more mana into even more early pressure, but that's just my opinion.
