Hi, I really like Shaco as a character. One of the most refreshing things about him is he doesn't have some sort of super serious conviction like a lot of the others champs. That's how I felt but now I kinda wish he did, or at least we had something more to go on. (One of my biggest peeves is how Riot was able to write his in game client with nothing but speculation)

In general I sometimes feel sad at how little lore Shaco really has, the only other piece or lore Shaco had was an interview with the JoJ but that isn't even canon anymore (speaking of which his in game bio mentions the league, so maybe you could update his story?)

Another symptom of his lore set up is how he interacts with other champs. Shaco's one of the older champs, up there with Warwick and Vladimir. If the champion profile on this website is still canon (I'm assuming it is) then we know that Fiddlesticks and Nocturne are friends of his, BUT HOW?! I know neither Fidds nor Nocturne's lores are up to date with the retcon but tink about the old set up. Neither fidds nor noc had any sort of freedom. Fidds was summoned in a chamber he never left, while Noc went on a short murderous rampage before being contained. Neither have really seen much exposure after that. So either they got to know each other during the league games (not possible explanation anymore) it's more of a Zed and Syndra scenario where they no of each other's goals and respect it although they don't really know each other personally. Or finally Shaco is made from the same cloth as Fidds and Noc, that is to say he spawned from the same place Fidds and Noc did.

Further on about interaction I'd really like to see some sort of concrete link between Shaco's relation with Fidds and Noc (and pls could we get him to run into Jinx at some point, I'd feel they'd either develop a meaningful relationship or try to kill each other, maybe both) While I'm on about wanting something concrete could we get confirmation on what Shaco is. Insane magical assassin or insane demonic being?

Sorry if it sounded like I was just complaining or asking Rito for more/better lore for them, but the TL:DR version is what do you like or think is interesting about Shaco, how do you see him, what kinda interaction would you want to see between certain champs.

Since I can't have multiple poles I'll just cover one question, but pls feel free to talk about anything Shaco related here.

After the bilge water event, I'm looking forward to what the narrative team has in store for other areas. I think they have a lot of room to expand on characters like shaco and fiddle

Probably linked with the Glade in some way, but instead of being all good cheerful like Lulu, he is the opposite of that.
