Champions with no Special Effect Skins

Hey Guys,

Making this post in the hopes that maybe people can give their feedback and/or Riot may potentially have a look at this.

I am currently maining a Champion that doesn't seem to have a single Skin with... let's say a LOT of Special Effects. I'm a Shaco Main and currently own 6/7 of his existing Skins (GIEF WORKSHOP SHACO PL0X) and I seem to have noticed that the only Skin with different special effects is Masked Shaco and even those are very minimal. Although I find a lot of his skins to look cool (Shoutout to Rito for Wild Card Shaco) I genuinely feel like the vast majority of champions I can think of have a skin with at least somewhat of a cool special effect. I also feel like Shaco has a lot of potential for cool ideas...

Community Thoughts? Can anyone else relate?

Hmm, the issue is that the champion has very limited abilities. Shaco boxes are just boxes, they can only be so cool looking considering what they do haha.

Same with the rest of his kit, You can't really make "stealth" have an effect, so his Q is very hard to work with effect wise. They could add some flashy trail to his E when it's thrown. His boxes could have a little bit cooler attack shinies or something. But realistically his kit is very limited in terms of being able to give him cool special effects.

But then again, my imagination can be quite dull, so i'm probably not the best at thinking outside the box haha. Get it? Box?

Ok i'm done... i apologize for that horrible joke.

You can't really do much with his abilities and trying to image them in new ways that makes sense, keeps clarity, is readable to all players, ect.. Two things you can take solace in is that his models are fantastic, and he will get a rework sometime down the road which will most likely rectify all of this.

Isn't he getting a rework at the end of this year or something? I doubt they are gonna release a new skin for him before the rework.
