Gangplank Update Question

TehNACHO·Jun 10, 2015·124 votes·35,488 views

With the GP update coming along, could you guys possibly squeeze in a 'hidden' passive on him?

Passive: Health Potions that GP buys turn into Oranges.

No effect on gameplay, just oranges.

Is there such a thing as too many oranges? I can give you assurances that the update will have more oranges than current GP.

Orange Intensifies.

PS - I'm mostly talking about visuals, orange gameplay is relatively unchanged

Turns out the LD50 of vitamin C (citric acid) is something like 11.9 grams/kilogram. That means that if GP is 200 pounds (90 kilos) he'd have to ingest 1071 grams of vitamin C. An orange has, on average, 53.2 mg of vitamin C. So he'd have to eat 2013 oranges to have a 50% chance of dying from vitamin C overdose.

But then he'd just eat some oranges and it's k.

AnysonAcEJun 11, 20151 votes

See? Just eat oranges be k

junglerboy16Jun 11, 20151 votes

each cast of Oranges looks like ~5 oranges, and if he cast it on CD all game long, he'd end up eating about 550-675 oranges a game, so he'd get poisoning after as few as 4 games..., and after many more than that, he'd probably die.

so are the items that were shown on the pbe basically the oranges for gangplank like the hexcore upgrades for viktor meaning gangplank will have to give up a item space for this potential new item?

When the update is released can you have it so his ability that makes him eat said oranges is automatically bound to k?

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, wait just a second. What's the catch here? You're not just gonna give us healing/cc cleansing oranges for free.

Scruffy himself has said that Critplank will still be intact.

Order of the Orange Gangplank confirmed?

The EcdysiastJun 10, 20154 votes

Can you make his ultimate cannonballs oranges? Even on the Spec Ops skin. I have it but explosive oranges would be better. Or better yet, _ only _ on the specops skin.

RangoTangoGankoJun 10, 20151 votes

What he means is the items that gp can only buy idk what they are yet but i still like this orange idea.

BorblandJun 10, 20151 votes

The three secret items for gankplank:

Oranges, Lemons and limes FTW !

Flask becomes a jar of oranges.

shadecrapperJun 10, 20157 votes

Like a unique item, oranges. Has the same stats as a flask but oranges.

He could leave orange peels on the ground (visible to team only) when he uses them too ;3

True pirates eat the whole orange, peel and all.

rampaging poetJun 10, 20152 votes

True. There's more Vitamin C there, and if he starts to choke he can just cram another orange in there and be k!

Miss Fortune AIJun 10, 20154 votes

Miss Fortune should fire oranges instead of musket balls at Gangplank when she's on the opposing team.

Ooh, ooh! Or she could fire oranges when buffed by an ally Gangplank!

This interaction needs to happen!

I don't even play him and this sounds amazing. I love little Easter eggs like that. Unless that Easter egg is from Cottontail Teemo, in which case please no

like they did with ashe?

kile147Jun 10, 20154 votes

Whoa, that would be so OP. As we all know oranges are the widely accepted cure for everything from taunts/fears to space aids. Allowing him access to this mighty resource at the shop would make all other forms of healing pale in comparison, while also hard countering Riot's up and coming Scurvy based champion.
