Either admit there is a bug with GP or re-enable him

it is not okay to continually keep a champion disabled for non-gameplay related issues at the very least in ranked. I'm not just saying this as someone who's first champion was Gangplank or who mains them, but also as someone who hates to see this become a trend. I'm all for balance disables, in fact I prefer them because it prevents abuse and exploitation. But what you are doing right now, by continuing to disable Gangplank simply for the reason "that he is dead" is just frankly a jerk move. You are forcibly shortening peoples champion pools and even denying access to a favorite for many.

I understand the impact of lore, however you are forcing lore on a traditionally lore-separated game. If this is the direction that you intend to take in the future then you also have to implement faction locking so that enemies like sion and j4 cant just hop into the game and be all buddy buddy. If you want to force lore into the games, please do so only in non-ranked queues, I think that is a fair compromise.

We get it, he dies in the lore. But please, think of the oranges, without Gangplank there is now a gigantic overstock and their stock value is plummeting! We are on the precipice of perhaps the greatest citrus collapse the world has ever seen! If Gangplank is not allowed to return to his role as the main consumer of oranges, then someone else has to take up that mantle
