Should Shaco be Sha'ko?

I recently wondered what Shaco "was." His lore states "No one fully agrees from whence he came, and Shaco never offers any detail on his own." It also says that Shaco is not from Runeterra and he was summoned from a dark and twisted world. He is also referenced to the title of "thing" multiple times, which most of the void champions are definitely "things."

I'm kinda just gonna leave this open to discussion because this is my first post. Any tips on writing posts would be cool because I really like researching the lore of champs and finding things that interest me. For any Red Skin Developer peeps, I think a void shaco skin (named Sha'Ko) would be pretty awesome!

I'm not sold on him being from the void. A key feature of all the void champs is an exo-skeletal body and this is something that shaco does not have. Tying him to the void is not impossible. Perhaps he was somehow exposed to the void or trapped in it for a period of time. the result of which twisted his mind and demeanor into who he is now.

This could definitely be a cool backstory for him...he could call himself "Shaco" instead of "Sha'Ko" due to some sort of amnesia; but even forgetting who he was didn't prevent his dark nature from shining through...Yeah that could be cool. He's more crazy and less focused than the other Voidborn because he doesn't remember the Void, but he still has an instinct to kill as much as possible.

It's not kha'zix... It's shaco . Plus it's too much work for them. I think it should stay the way it is :) but they can make a new shaco skin like you said sha'ko..(void fizz)

I cannot stand champions with lore that just says, "no one knows anything about him/her". I feel like it is a serious cop-out and dilutes the champion's identity (Shaco, Evelynn, etc.). That being said, while I dislike his lore, adding the Void to it doesn't exactly fix the issue. Shaco's kit, lore, and model could really use some Rito lovin'.
Void Sha'Ko, not a bad idea, but it is not what Shaco needs right now.
