The only compensation Gangplank needs after all those consecutive nerfs.

Please,please,PLEASE...Make his in-game portrait,when playing with Captain Gangplank use the Captain Gangplank face.Of course,it will be visible only to you(the same concept is with ultimate skin portraits in game). This is more of a clarity problem.When i pick the classic Gangplank i wanna feel his emotions post BurningTides and when i pick Captain Gangplank i wanna remember him being the proud pirate he once was.I find it hard to do that with his current portrait.

Again,i am asking you to consider doing this.I absolutely LOVE him after his rework,and this will make me the happiest person :)

Gangplank can get compensation but Graves can't have his cigar?

He got new shotgun, who needs cigar. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fKGcb8OtqEg/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAC4/_Gd1RpjDEYE/photo.jpg?sz=50

Maybe his shotgun is his cigar. https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-fKGcb8OtqEg/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAC4/_Gd1RpjDEYE/photo.jpg?sz=50

"Smoking gun" has never been more of a loaded term.

He stopped smoking and he got really strong... if you know what I mean.

This would be a very fun thing to implement indeed. I doubt Riot will go through with this, but should it happen I would be a happy pirate. I even use Captain GP over his other skins because of the voice acting, yoho!

They don't do this for any other legendary skin, but I agree that he is literally a completely different person between those skins and the portrait should change, the issue is clarity based.

I don't think so. That would be pay to win, which Riot does not support.

This change will be only visible to you(not your teammates,not your enemies).Same thing happens with ultimate skins in game portraits. Also,mostly of the players already got Captaint Gangplank free from the last years event.

I think he's joking.

Agreed. Captain Gangplank > Emo pirate

I would love it if they gave him back the "half of the mana spent is refunded on a kill" mechanic. It allowed players to play Gangplank a lot safer in unfavorable matchups or even when behind, and also persuaded the player not to use it for harass, but for farm.
