Similar to the champions before him, the visual changes aim to make Shaco’s abilities clearer and more visually up to par with the game’s standards.
His passive will have discernability when it comes to hitting his opponents in the front and the back using a new darker effect. His Q spell, Deceive, will get a completely new “poof” that aims to be closer to illusion magic, while also adding new hit effects.
Shaco’s boxes will receive a new placement effect and have a subtle burst around them once triggered, indicating a more clear hitbox.
His Two-Shiv Poison will also receive new effects on the missile, the hit, and the slow. To add to this, Riot designer Sirhaianshared on Redditthat the ability will also have a unique effect for targets under 30% health.
Lastly, Shaco’s ultimate Hallucinate will be visually reinvented, bringing on a new cast effect, poof, timer, and explosion.
