Shaco has so much impact early than even a small tweak can make him massively overpowered. His boxes duration is a perfect example: it was only 30 second longer, like a small ward, nothing OP about it right? Except he could do double buff before anyone was level 2 and rape all the lanes.

The same thing could occur if you increased W ratio: maybe AP shaco will be utterly broken in 2v2 fights because the box will output so much damage no-one will be able to fight it. Or maybe he'll be able to do double buffs again with AP runes... etc

Bringing AP shaco back would be awesome, but it probably requires more thought and work than just changing a scaling or attack range, otherwise Riot would have done so already.
