Red Post Post: Gangplank returns and the end of Burning Tides, Free Captain GP skin, Mystery Skins Promotion, & more

Any idea on when GP will be re-enabled then since he has been declared not dead. Glad we got a "new skin" to use. literally new because the base model is being changed just gives more options but i really just want my champ back ~ loved the story!

Also to those saying "why didnt you let us know about this sooner so we could get the skin" pretty sure this is mostly aimed to the GP mains as an apology for taking their champ away for such an extended duration. no worries. you'll still have like a day.. or two. i think.

Well considering that there is an event for GP where we get a free skin if we play a match before the Bilgewater event ends seems like he should be available soon or else we wont have enough time to actually play him. I feel like this was just terribly done. Since he isnt dead there was no point in him being disabled in the first place, and i like how the community thought the Spooky skin would have been a better use if we were to assume he was dead. But now since they have came out that he wasnt actually dead it just feels like a waste of time. It was just poorly executed, and i hope they learn not to do something like this again!

I feel like the event is more for the gp mains or people who were really starting to get into him, in which case they prob already fulfilled the requirements. The "new" skin is just the skin we already have btw. the base model is getting changed to reflect lore but we get an unchanged version for completing the event.

Using the spooky skin wouldve been way more ideal and not taken the champ away for this amount of time but the chance of a skin kind of makes up for it. we're going to have 4+(for sure going to be back by the 6th.. i want him back before that though) days to get it and if thats not enough to get just one full game in with him idk what to say.

Its fine if they disable. just not for long periods of time.

Well peoples personal life could get in the way. Granted starting tomorrow we will have exactly one full week to try and get it. Some people dont play League all that often, or probably dont own GP that may want the skin! Not only that with millions of people playing this game its going to be extremely difficult to try and get GP in your game before someone else gets to him. I mean its difficult already when new champions come out. i know i barely get to play them and usually have to wait a good 2-3 weeks to actually start playing them because people insta-lock. If people know they can get a free skin just by playing GP people will be using him for the hell of it whether to get the skin themselves or troll so that people cant get it!

I guess he'll be reenabled soon,the way they said it they were like "you have time till august 10th to do this",which wouldn't make sense if you can't do it anymore.

He'll most likely be reenabled tomorrow.

He lost an arm yo, he needs at least until 5.15 to recover :3

EDIT: (in case that was unclear, they said he'll be reenabled in 5.15, which is on Wednesday most likely)

Its not enough time, there's one person in every game instalocking him. If you don't play for 12 hours straight I don't know how to get it. Its like rito thinks we have entire days to waste.
