Want to talk about Shaco anyone?

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.

it was a nice touch showing their splash art side by side, makes them look similar.

It wasnt my image, but it was nice. Shaco fits the glade if u ask me

The only issue I have is that could just as easily be the twisted treeline. And although the more I read about it the more it's plausible I still want Shaco to be something, idk, more. I want Shaco to be his own self, not some man made twisted by a fairy

But we do need more and better lore...

true, just now what I wanted this particular discussion to be about, but I guess you can't talk about lol lore without such demands

indeed. Personally, i just think Riot is really really STUPID or...more difficult to grasp..allergic to $$$$$$$$$$$$ Because yeah, they could create better lore and type it in and add to the flavor of league like most people want. YAY! OR....they could add another division and instead of "just lore" they could write book series, animated series like naruto, full featured films, graphic novels...and CASH THE FUCK IN!!!

But alas..they are lazy as dog piss and dont want any more money. too bad for all of us eh?

well one of my pros for riot is that they aren't very often after the $$$. That said i think that would be a cool idea

If they would realize how wide a net they could cast, they could create something really big, and very special, a rich deep culture full of imaginination that would encompass children, teens, and adults for years to come...like star wars has. What kid hasnt seen a lightsaber in the toy store and not said "daddy buy me that" ?

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

biomaster1 votes

Me too, really looking forward to it. My only reservation is if this sort of lore only comes out during events like burning tides, if that's the case I'm concerned for unaffiliated champs like shaco, fidds, and noc. They have little to no reason to appear in any story event seeing how they are either still imprisoned somehow or at least keep a low profile.

Perhaps during harrowing? Amumu wasn't really related to the larger Shurima story, but they still did some stuff for him around the same time

biomaster2 votes

I actually think that'd be really cool, I'm already fanboying at the idea of a 2spooky4me trailer in this years harrowing ty formaking me happy

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

biomaster1 votes

idk, there nothing to suggest that, I feel the lulu and shaco's quirky adventure was just a cool idea by riot, besides that song we have no reason lore wise to so much assume that he has any sort of connection to the glade, wouldn't that means noc and fidds are from the glade?
