No reason to fear from both Shaco and Swain after patch 8.7 next week

We know you are angry from Shaco in the last many games but dont worry, because the Nerfs for Both Swain and Shaco on the way with Patch 8.7 next week, according to the latest PBE update. Are you still angry!

Shaco

His buff last week in Patch 8.6 added new scaling damage to his Deceive. Essentially, his first basic attack after casting Deceive would deal 10-50 base damage with a 70 percent bonus AD scaling. but there was a lot of concern that Shaco’s power comes almost exclusively from the Duskblade of Draktharr, which was nerfed heavily in the same patch. He would need way more damage to make up for it, but unfortunately, he was given just a bit too much.

The nerf that’s on the PBE right now lowers the bonus AD scaling from that new damage down from 70 percent to 30 percent. It’s a massive nerf, sure, but keep in mind he still has all the old damage from his kit that he had before. That being said, he’ll be weaker than he is now, but not weaker than he was before last week’s patch, which should put him in a healthier spot.

Swain

Swain’s change is less drastic. He has two nerfs to his Q currently on the PBE. One increases its cool down, but only at early ability ranks, and the other reduces its base damage, but only by 10 at each rank. Both Nerfs separately are very small, but together, they’re at least significant.

Those changes must be arriving with Patch 8.7 next week.
