This reaction is expected, because the common opinion of this is that Shaco sucks, when he factually is really strong. When the argument is "he's really bad, why nerf" I can't discuss that because your argument is based on something that's just not correct here.
Is it possible to rework him somehow?

I understand that high skillcap champions are powerful when highly skilled players use them, but balancing for 2000elo players is a lot like only balancing for 1% of your entire userbase, or whatever the percentage is. Most of us will never reach that 2000elo spot, which is probably the cause of the backlash.

Shaco might have a decent amount of health after his clear, but he certainly doesn't clear very quickly.

This literally makes no sense.

I find getting a GA on shaco shaco gives insane initiation. You q or walk in box, jump on the squishy and by the time you die and your GA is popped your team has won or if its going south you can deceive away. Shaco is one of the better solo q junglers.... I think the damage on early knives needed to be reduced not the deceive range.

Well I disagree here - Shaco's a lot of fun to play and feels like an assassin in a lot of ways - I like that about him. To maintain something that is cool to players though, it has to have a tight leash on it to not turn League into a total nightmare.

He also split-pushes like a monster, so even late-game he has strong use in coordinated teams.

Shaco should be a ganker, but there's a volume level that's appropriate
Morello, you seem to forget the fact that SotD makes Shaco a lategame monster in the goal of carry killing.
