Give Gangplank his pirate buff back, or I will search somebody who teaches me how to hack your servers and put it in myself.

"Yarr! I'm a mighty Pirate"!

I'm honestly more surprised these days when Riots creative team doesn't miss the point.

RIP Chest hair

RIP Garens Punch

RIP Planks Buff

etc.

... Garen used to punch?

AnidanJul 23, 201513 votes

Yes. Garen was so damn manly he could just plain punch and cause you as much damage as a swing of his massive sword. It was truly a sight to behold.

MetalGearTeemuJul 30, 20151 votes

In the Rework Garen lovers hoped.. prayed... that riots art team would listen to us and make Garen's left hook become his Q. Since the best way to shut a mage up is to punch him in the mouth.

Unfortunately they wanted "realism" at the time, and didn't think heroicly punching a guy in the face fit his character ( the same character which HEADBUTTED tryndamere in the twist of fate animation. )

Mistress MadokaJul 31, 20151 votes

But... Anything is Heroic if you yell "DEMACIA" while you do it!

Garen : DEMACIA! -Smashes enemy laner in the face with his fist, silencing them-

MF is isn't a Pirate Hunter anymore either. Such bullshit.

SmokinSickStyleJul 23, 20157 votes

WANNA TALK ABOUT HIS CRIT ANIMATION?

I miss my point-BPlank range Pistol shoot of badass disrespect.

"Muh clarity, it looked way too much like his Q"

Pff.

While your at it can you put the quote "Wanna know why my roger is so jolly" back please

A Superb VillainJul 22, 20156 votes

You should find the one responsible for removing it and carve the buff onto his bones just like the Saltwater Scourge!

Gangplank "That'll teach the filthy bilge rat."

DragoonRuinJul 22, 20155 votes

Its literally, the silly little things like this that i really used to enjoy, the things that make ZERO difference in the game but add distinctive elements to the champions. They should really be brought back.

Do the Ninja Champions still have the "I'm a Flippin ninja buff"?

This game has been single handedly RUINED with a single update.

I am in shock .

Rito StaffJul 22, 20153 votes

Ye... nah =P

whenever I thought of GP it was his fun Q, troll W and extra gold ult.

His E was pretty meh

Stiv1234Jul 22, 201539 votes

Im not talking about his E, its about the "Yarr! I'm a mighty pirate!" buff you used to have in your buff bar.

Rew711Jul 23, 20151 votes

I loved the buff. It allowed great push and a good support move. Now I give free CS to the enemy and lose my bonus MS and AD.

NielarkenJul 23, 201511 votes

not the buff his E gave him you goof his Easter egg passive that gave him the buff that said "Yarr! I'm a mighty pirate!"

Rew711Jul 23, 20151 votes

oh, i like that one too. . . sad i never actually heard it. i think... well, i'd like to hear it.

EnnbeardJul 23, 20154 votes

It wasn't really something you hear. It was a small buff icon, where other buffs are shown, that if hovered over said "Yarr! I'm a mighty pirate!"

UltraRammusJul 22, 20153 votes

Hey rito, can you make the barrel's cascade blow in a chain?

Riot is really the FBI? What's crazy is that that means the FBI is owned by a chinese company! OMG, I have to call Obama.

This is rudimentary knowledge.

In order to achieve this level of knowledge you have to perform a DDoS attack on the Corsair website. This should allow you to download more RAM.

Next you must open command prompt and type gibberish and pretend you know what you're doing.

This is how hacking works. Trust me, I've learned from the movies.

KEEP IN MIND: A ski mask MUST be worn at all times during this process.

Don't forget that you need to be able to dodge the mainframe's firewall attacks at a moment's notice, and any defending hackers will be ready to try and shoot you down if you can't come up with the password in a 10 minutes or less.

In short: hope you got taught by Beta Jax, too, because you need all the dodging you can get.

ChaoticPineconeJul 24, 20151 votes

not if its a Unix system. Then you just need to find the right file.

Hatless CasualJul 23, 20152 votes

Or just the fact if Riot felt actually threatened they could contact law enforcement and it's not all that hard to figure out where you live and talk with you.
