I was wrong. Riot is just insane.

I made a thread claiming GP was disabled due to a bug (still not sure there isn't some truth to that, but I won't continue saying so for now).

Apparently Riot actually just disabled a newly reworked champion for absolutely no reason outside of an event, that was pirate themed, in which people would have liked to play a pirate....during the event that was centered around the reworking of....okay okay you get my point.

I was wrong, but the fact that GP was disabled not due to a legitimate reason was amusing for a day. The fact that GP has been disabled for over 3 days for this reason is borderline dumb. I'm sorry to say that Riot guys, but...seriously. 3+ days?

Anyways, just wanted to say I was wrong, because I was full on claiming otherwise to people, hoping Riot wasn't that silly, but I was wrong, and I really wish I wasn't lol

Honestly I agree. They shouldn't disable Gangplank just because he's dead in their story of Bilgewater. It's stupid, and it hurts Gangplank mains as they can't use their best/favorite champ, and upkeep practice on him.

I agree that it was a bad decision, but even as a player that has no interest in lore normally they made me really like this event, and I look forward to whatever plan they have that is so important that they killed a champion off so hard he was disabled XD

I think a surprise GP skin that was only internally tested, or making Spooky GP the base skin are not far fetched ideas.

I can't see how anyone would like a champion to be completely removed from the rotation for any reason outside of gameplay bugs. IT makes no sense, and is honestly kind of silly.

I have been playing more and more GP lately on my alt account, and was starting to finally play him more on my main, then the rework happened and I was like "okay time to bring him into ranked finally after some testing", so he is going to be disabled for probably another 2-3 days at least (Riot does little to nothing on the weekend that isn't LCS related, so little chance he gets re-enabled before Monday at the soonest.

5-6 days a champ is just poof...because of random lore lol and this is coming from someone that loves lore. But if they are going to claim they are separating lore and the game, then they shouldn't be disabling champions because of lore. That is about as bassackwards and nonsensical as you can be.
