It's 2019 and I'm still in the Bargaining stage of Grief re: GP Rework, so here are some requests
-
Make a skin based on his pre-rework default, and give it his original (superior) voice-over.

Get rid of Silver Serpents. Does anybody actually like these? Don't get me wrong, I still dislike the barrels; but I do feel a small sense of satisfaction when I hit an opponent with one. What's absolutely not fun is having an underpowered ultimate for two thirds of the game because I'm forced to farm buttcoins for upgrades first. For those who don't remember Gangplank before his grimdark barrel iteration, his old ultimate had a MUCH shorter cooldown and higher base damage, albeit with an element of RNG that, in rare cases, meant an opponent could escape unscathed. In practice though it was effective in killing enemies as the cannonballs did significant aoe damage and enemies inside the circle were slowed for the entire duration they were in it, rather than for only a half second after each wave, as it is today. It's much easier to escape GP's ult now than it ever was in the past. While a reverted ultimate would be ideal, at least shaving a full minute off the CD would encourage players to use it more often to secure kills, rewarding map awareness. Anyway, silver serpents are not fun and GP's current ult sucks. Get rid of the farming mechanic for upgrades and roll the excess power budget into a shorter CD for his ult or more power elsewhere in his kit.
