Gangplank Skin Ideas
Hey, I just thought I'd toss this out there. GP is my favorite champ and he hasn't had a new skin since Captain Gangplank, and even with that he doesn't have a really nice skin with new particle effects and whatnot. I thought I'd attach GP to an existing line of skins just for fun.
Idea 1) Surprise party Gangplank
- Have Gangplank dressed as a clown
- Inflatable/balloon sword
- When gun is fired it shoots out that little bang flag (sound of shot is really cheesy like a cap gun)
- New pink particle effect on W
- Barrels become giant balloon animals (maybe you could have multiple kinds of animals as long as it isn't visually confusing) and pop when detonated. Or they are cakes that have a sparkler on top and splat when detonated. -Ult rains down confetti/balloons and various party sounds (kind of like Surprise party fiddlestick and his AOE party ult)
Idea 2) Warlock Gangplank/Soceror Gangplank -Gangplank dressed in long robes (pointy wizard hat optional) with spectacles -Has a wand instead of a gun that emits a cool spell blast instead of a gunshot for his Q -Staff instead of sword. Or maybe a dagger -Barrels are now bubbling cauldrons -Ult reigns fireballs on enemies instead of cannon balls
- Passive "Trial by fire" has a greenish flame on his staff/dagger instead of the normal red fire
Idea 3) Zeusplank -Dressed as a stereotypical Zeus (toga, long white beard/hair) -Throws lightning bolts instead of shooting a gun (Q) -Probably still wields a sword? Maybe a staff?
- W now has a poofy cloud particle instead of the green particle from his oranges
- Not sure what to do with the barrels here (maybe stormclouds that emit lightning as a detonation visual effect?)
- Ult summons a storm that drops hail/lightning effects instead of cannonballs
Of these I think Warlock GP is my favorite, while surprise party seems the most realistic. The third one is pretty tacked on I haven't really though too much about it, but it might be cool. Given the effects I would want these to have the would probably be ultimate or legenday skin, but who doesn't want an ultimate or legendary for their specific champ? I can dream. What do you fine folk think? Great? Terrible? I want to hear it all!
