Spreading this idea for a skin is just me showing my love for the champion. I'd hope that people take interest in this idea because I do believe that it is original, fun , and a cool concept for a skin all together. I'm not use to doing something like this so it is not perfect nor do I know what perfection is, but if you do like overall idea of this skin I would appreciate your support. Thank you!

Art and Style: For this skin the main theme behind the art is Black and White Old School Cartoon. The animation of our beloved clown Shaco would be changed to mimic the creepy black and white cartoons that were watched in the old days. Skin Themes: Revolving around the theme of "old school, black and white, and the idea of a silent movie" the key points to the skin would be in the animation sounds (like backstabbing, throwing a shiv, and placing boxes) and also fun overacted gestures (like dancing, and taunting). With this skin Shaco's Ctrl 1-4 wouldn't be the traditional gestures that every champ has but would change instead to these overacted gestures. The goal would be for the actions and the sounds of our beloved clown Shaco to be as pleasing a possible but there would be an added effect when Shaco would get a kill or assist. Ultimate Effect: When Shaco gets a kill or assist it will laugh, taunt, or joke at the enemy team. This effect would be the icing on the cake for Shaco lovers and really bring the fun to the skin. It would be heard throughout the map so that both the enemy and your own team would know of the killer clowns deeds. The vocals of this effect could be as simple as "Why so serious?, The jokes on you, Now you see me, Now you don't, or even the chaotic Shaco laugh." Just as dj sona has the option to listen or to mute the effect players will be given this chance as well. Special Emotes and additional effects: Triggering certain actions would cause special effects to take place.

  • When Shaco Q's a cloud with the word "poof" appears in fog of war. The letters would be in black and white writing.
  • When Shaco Ctrl 4 (laughs) the words "Haha" would appear above him in a similar war.

Shaco Gestures Ctrl 1-4

  • Dance: Silly Symphonies: The Skeleton Dance
  • Laugh: Knee Slapper
  • Joke: Fake Rope Pull
  • Taunt: Remain the same or Shaco could play with a voodoo doll of the enemy champion.

Shaco's Back: Shaco's back would be another time when you hear him speak. I was hoping that the idea for Shaco's back could follow his lore. In Shaco's lore it speaks of him as an old marionette plaything for a lonely prince. When Shaco backs he could fall to the floor as if he was a puppet with no one controlling the strings. Shaco would then be lifted into the air as if he was being controlled by the strings and being playing with his Jack in the box. As Shaco backs he mutters "I'm Sorry", but the further he gets into his back the harder it is to understand the words he is saying. I think that this would add character depth to Shaco and get people more interested in his story giving a possible increase to our knowledge of the Mad Clown's background.

I would love to know people's opinion on the idea and concept for this skin. I honestly think that Silent Movie Shaco is an idea that is fun and enjoyable. That creeps outside of the box from normal skins. Even if every idea can't be used I do think that some of these have potential. Leave your honest opinion and if you have any questions feel free to ask. I would love to know the communities opinions on Silent Movie Shaco. Currently working on possible art work for this skin. If you are interested let me know and if you have any ideas yourself I would love to hear them too. Thank You!

You can really tell how much thought and time you put into this. It really sounds freaking dope! I agree with Scourge I never played Shaco but this alone would be worth trying him out!
