After some time getting used to the new version, players gradually realize the super carry champions capable of leading the team to victory. Typically, such “team gank” champions are in the 4-cost group and strong in the late game, however, one champion stands out from the rest: Shaco, who only costs 3 gold but has unparalleled ability to ambush opponents.
Many team compositions revolve around this clown, such as 6 Dark Stars, Pilot – Spy, Guardian – Spy… just to show how dominant this champion is. However, Riot Games seems to dislike a unit that is reasonably priced, easy to reach 3 stars, yet possesses such great power. Therefore, in the latest updates of Teamfight Tactics PBE, they started by nerfing the Dark Star trait. Specifically:

Damage and health at the 6 champion mark decreased from an additional 800 health and 80 attack damage to an additional 750 health and 75 attack damage.
