Changes: Shaco/Trivia

Revision as of 00:58, 7 May 2018

Shaco is voiced by Adam Harrington.
- Pre-rework Karthus, Kassadin, Mordekaiser and pre-fourth-rework Ryze are also voiced by the same voice actor.
Shaco, LeBlanc, and Wukong are the only champions with more than one texture per skin (one for themselves and one for the clone spawned by Hallucinate, Shadow of the Rose, or Decoy).
Shaco's dance references The Worm, a breakdance move.
- A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
Shaco might be referencing the Harlequin Crest from Diablo.
It's possible that many aspects of Shaco's champion design, such as his appearance, his laugh and his "manic killer clown" persona were inspired by Kefka Palazzo from Final Fantasy VI.
The name Shaco is an anagram for the word "chaos", befitting his penchant for it.
- This is referenced in an issue of the now defunct Journal of Justice. Namely, The Journal of Justice: Volume 1, Issue 13.
There was a Shaco rework concept that turned Shaco into a projectile but hitting a Wind Wall in this form would remove Shaco from the game.^[1]

"Why so serious?" references the Joker (The Dark Knight) from DC Comics.
- A side-by-side comparison can be seen here.
