New VU idea for GangPlank

When i play gangplank i dont get that pirate feel, i get that fat beer belly lazy step dad type of feel, all he does is eat oranges, and for christs sake, when he shoots his pistol i dont imagine the whole "hand cannon, smoke and loud gunpowder" type of gun feel, its like im shooting a fuckin nerf gun, hell. Its more bite than it is bark and i feel like it needs to be balanced on both.

My idea for his character model is more of a PIRATE, not a beer belly stay at home dad. Theres so much more you can do, kinda like how you did with ryze, how he went from fat pizza feet one shot, to farming in lane, skinny constantly traveling mage, who can one shot late game. I feel like when he shoots his pistol there should be smoke, and a visible bullet, not some pellot and a metal clang, thats not badass, pirates are badass and a fat lazy stay at home dad with a nerf gun isnt badass. He should be a bit skinnier, his ult should be more than him lifting up his right arm looking like hes about to let a fat fart out. His gun should have a more hand cannon feel with smoke and a BOOM to it. And since gangplank is a really strong pick, maybe give him a little pat down, make his q a channel, and after shooting it make him have a reload animation for a percentage of the cooldown. Make his ultimate a channel as well, where he like points toward the area hes using it at, and make the channel shorter dependant on where and how far away hes using it. Gangplank gives so many chances at making him a more unique champ and making him a joke looking champ that has non so much of a joke damage isnt acceptable. And with his w instead of making an orange pull out of his ass maybe make him have a little side pouch on him where he carries the oranges, his e is fine, a bit unrealistic but understandable considering a dude cant carry around huge ass barrels. But GangPlank has so many more chances at being unique and all i get from him is the same as udyr. Fat, unupdated pizza feet. (Gp doesnt have pizza feet but still).
