The problem with shaco is that any kind of buff will make him broken.

More damage? his only weakness is that he doesn't have enough damage unless he's fed. If shaco was able to insta oneshot you from inivisibility whithout being 12/0, it's just broken. you might argue evelynn does the same, but eve needs setup. Shaco doesn't.

Ult explosion slowing? Ap shaco is suddenly broken. Not only does it do a crapton of damage, but it also traps you in the illuminaty boxes.

Q damage critting? OOF. that would instantly make him broken tier. Not only would it make his damage higher, which brings us back to the first point, but it would also bring back the lethality into crit build, which is even more frustrating to play against, due to having a 50% chance to just instakill you if he gets a full crit instead of a backstab crit.

If you're trying to just go yolo and kill people with shaco when you're not insanely fed, you're just playing him wrong. I think that shaco is the definition of an assassin. If he snowballs, one shots. If he doesn't, he still has good burst and can fight after delivering it.

I do however agree that his kit is choppy, and could use a rework. But, any kind of straight buff would make shaco really strong, if not straight up broken, instantly.
