Shaco is one of my favorite champions. What interest me the most is what his lore is going to be like without the league. I mean We never knew anything outside the fact that he's a twisted assassin. But, just listening to that "Lulu's and Shaco's quirky encounter" music theme it got me wondering....is Shaco from the Glade? https://soundcloud.com/leagueoflegends/lulu-and-shacos-quirky

" Glade, the enchanted home of the fae, which lay nestled in a clearing in the woods. There the rigid properties of the outside world - things like size and color - changed as frequently and whimsically as the direction of the wind." http://th09.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/040/0/7/lulu_practicing_whimsy__by_limsh-d5uejag.jpg

Lulu's lore had things called the fae, I guessing fae is similar to the magical creatures you find in fairy tales. Pix is a fae spirit. Suggesting that there are more things then just fairies. What if the Glade is a magical land such as those you find in Wonderland and Narnia? Such as a Kingdoms, towns and tower's guarded by dragons. How did Lulu obtain a staff that wields fae magic? It doesn't look like Pix can grant wishes.

http://ddragon.leagueoflegends.com/cdn/img/champion/splash/Shaco_2.jpg Any way, What if Shaco is a Twisted Jester from the glade? We all should know that Fairy tales Don't always have the merriest folks you'll ever meet. If the Glade is as I think it is, Shaco could definitely fit. He can disappear out of sight, conjure up jack in the boxes( that can kill u), and make a complete clone of him self. **"How about a magic trick?" ** Maybe it is magic. Shaco can fit as one of those bad characters from fairy tales. Such as the evil queen or the wicked witch. One of the bad guys of the glade. I honestly don't see him being as Noxian or Demacian.

As for the Glade, I feel we need more characters from there. We have the void, and numerous characters' lore that explains the gist of the void. Same for the Shadow Isles. The Sea characters such as nami, fizz, and Nautilus some what describes what the sea near bligewater holds. Same for the jungles. We know one of those jungles have rune stones in there that can make animals sentient. How about a new character from the Glade? I honestly feel like we could have a little "Alice" of league of legends instead of annie having the skin.

That makes so much sense.

I third this.

Fae are supernatural creatures/spirits that appear in mythology, legends and fairy tales. They can be Satyrs, Centaurs, Nymphs, Elves, Trolls, Ogres, Manticores and more. So yeah, Shaco could totally fit into that thematic and his lore and current splash could definitely work with that interpretation of his character.

If anyone here has read old English/other faerie tales, like the REALLY old stuff, they will know that old school faeries were like magical sadists.

I love threads like these

More Glade champs, eh? Definitely would make things more interesting.

Perhaps a champion inspired by any of the faer-folk from "A Midsummer Night's Dream"? Playing as an Oberon inspired champ would be interesting to say the least, especially if they take a few ideas from the Gargoyles version.

Fae are real bastards. I'd love Shaco to be from the Glade.

GIVE US TWEEDLE-DEE/TWEEDLE-DUM CHAMPION!

Seriously. I would love to have two rotating brothers on the field.

Maokai Zyra should be from the glade

I posted something similar to this a while back but it didn't involve shaco but someone did point it out. The glade in of it self is very mysterious, as is lulu.

This is damn brilliant.

This idea is original, exciting, logical and unexpected...meaning Riot's lore team will never do it.

As is, Shaco is just the joker.

I remember the same disappointment when Jinx came out. A player posted a big fan-fic bio explaining how Vi and Jinx both responded to their parent's death differently - one by vowing revenge through enforcement of the law, the other by reaping havoc on the system that failed to protect them. Absolutely great, and gives their rivalry a wonderful tension.

Then Riot released the official bio...Jinx is just the joker.

And 80% of her bio was just narrative of an action scene, Vi chasing her through a bank. Seriously.

Riot, fire your lore team or give them some fucking creative freedom. Or better yet, pay these fanfic writers a couple hundred and use their ideas. Or don't pay them and use their ideas. However you fucking do it, get some better lore.

Well, Shaco is supposed to be a daemon, so he's obviously Fae, like Lulu. item 3023
