Shaco: Giving him some depth, some nasty personality, and some sheer badassery

Shaco right now has a pretty bland Joker-wannabe persona going for him, one that I think could be done so much better. His story is also kinda unimaginative and doesn't allow anyone to really get a feel for him as a character.

With that in mind, I have someone he could take notes from.

Yuki Terumi of Blazblue

This guy is a total bastard. Kicks you while you're down (actually, he STOMPS ON YOU while you're down), constantly hurls insults at you while fighting you ("Sucks to be you!" and "You're too weak!" for starters), and he's also a downright badass schemer (hard to explain his schemes in short form).

I imagine Shaco could do the same. He seems like the type who'd take a piss on your carcass if given enough time, just to piss you off (ba-zing). Plus a persona like this one could help make him a little more separate from Jinx, who does the "bat-shit insane psycho" role better.

Anyone wanna add?

If there was ever someone I feel like Shaco should be like, it is this man. This man alone.

I want shaco to be A. Physchopathic killer B. Sick twisted F*ck C. A real asshole

I want him to be as (more) crazy as Jinx, but in a more serious way.

I like the "Joker" theme of Shaco, tho

He will definitely be getting a full overhaul at come point, similar to Sion. I love my Shaco but there is so much more that could be done! He has a history of bugs and nerf after nerf after nerf. He needs to be cemented not only as a his own persona, but also have gameplay that reflects it (hopefully he is really good at jungle invades xD)

Yeah shaco could need some work. It was kinda disheartening to read the shaco interview in the JoJ,because it made it clear,that riot themself didn't have any idea who the hell shaco even is.

I think important aspects are: 1.He really enjoys killing/hurting others 2.He is crazy in a funny,but also scary way(compared to jinx he'd be more "serious and dark") 3.While a bit about him should remain mysterious(or would need to be extremely well written),we should at least learn something about him,as we currently know nothing about his history

Those are in my opinon the most important aspects about him characterwise(he could need an ability rework though)
