Gangplank Pre-Rework

Can we PLEASE have Gangplank back? The rework isn't pleasant and they ruined the fearsome nature of the pirate king. He was considered a feared pirate pre-rework, and his kit revolved around chasing, and killing carries. Post Rework he's now weak to carries, and tanks, and assassins, without having any oomph. He lost his impressions on the League of Legends just because Riot wanted more minigames. Instead of focusing on the main game: IE Actually just playing League of Legends.

I was pleasantly surprised to see the pre-rework Gangplank in the Blitzcrank Poro Snatcher, which gave me hope that Riot may actually consider giving him back. He looked about a thousand times better before they changed him too. Sailor Gangplank was my favorite skin in the game, but now? Now it's garbage, it doesn't even look like Gangplank should. He's taken on a cartoon exterior and I don't like it. I'm positing this in the forums because when I ticketed Riot themselves, they didn't respond and I'm not going to sit through waiting another 2-3 weeks for a reply now.

Bottom Line, I don't enjoy the new Gangplank, and wish to return his former glory.

Appearance wise, up to opinion if better or worst, I'm more a fan of the happy go lucky jolly roger kind of pirates even though I would be lying if I said his current form isn't FAR far FARRRRRR more realistic in terms of what pirates actually were: Raving bands of murderers, pillagers, rapists, and killers. However personally, I did like his older model.

Gameplay wise, I think you are playing him wrong if you can't kill carries.
