I love GP, and i really like whats coming in his Kit Rework. However, I do not like what is coming to his character model. GP's a badass, not a serious pirate as far as i'm concerned.

Can we get a traditional skin for him, please?

I personally prefered GP's old look over the new one. GP was kind of a fun, not too serious character, but this look oozes seriousness. Sure, it's badass and all that, but it just doesn't quite feel like a GP look...

Also that beard belongs on a DWARF, not a pirate, but that's a minor major nitpick.

A Rioter earlier today made a post on the subject of traditional skins.Yes,it's a copy & paste of another Rioter's post,but still relevant.

Long story short,they're done with traditional skins.

While I like GP's new model, I just hate his VO. Yes, it might be fitting for a brutal pirate captain, but some of us GP players really love his current jolly, not too dark pirate style.

I could live with something like this. Serious pirate, but not a serious pirate.

Even if they weren't done making Traditional skins I don't see why he'd warrant one.

There are very subtle differences in the new vs the old. So it wouldn't be worth it.

A traditional skin wouldn't really change that much.Remember that the champs that receive traditional skins,still keep their updated models,so the traditional skin would essentially just: -replace his red jacket with a slightly different red jacket -give him a slightly different hat -give him a slightly shorter and darker beard -keep his old VO. That aren't that many visual differences

However a traditional skin should be done if the champ in question gets changed so much,that his/her old design would be worth a skin on its own,which simply isn't the case here.

I personally think traditional skins should be a must, they are not that much work (VO already made, don't need to create new stuff/idea) and for those who have played league for a while it makes us nostalgic. See the new GP for starters has this new weird black hat with that golden thing on it instead of being the same color tint has the coat, then his gun is an outrage, like really you make him more serious looking but give him that ridiculous gun? Its like twice his head in size and just looks dumb. Now then for the rest of his armament: the cutlas (not sure if it is a cutlass but whatever) if you do a search on google image for Pirate sword your gona get both the old awesome large blade and his new sword but you get a lot more large cutlas then the new thing and il say it: that new flaming sword probly would look dumb with the old large model but a thin sword like that is not the GP feel, it does not feel piraty enough. Then finally his coat, yes the new one is kinda cool but what is those big black shoulder guards? and why do we have sleeves? I will say this: the old coat was a used awesome coat that saw action, you could the usage of the coat, it was a coat that a dirty, hard real pirate at sea would have. With holes, wear and tear, a real big awesome belt that goes around it. That new coat is exactly what it is. a new not pirate coat with the fancy black and gold ornaments that has seen no action. Finally has a personal preference the old white shirt that actually cover his chest like a shirt should be doing looks just better. And for the last of my renting: the old goofy GP was/his more the champion he should be: an unpredictable pirate that takes nothing seriously and laugh has you get pummeled by his ships canon, a crazy pirate king with a crazy crew and a crazy boat from a crazy part of the world who does all of this killing and plundering for fun and gold. Il take the crazy pirate that has been in the thick of things (from the view of his old coat) anytime over that rich coat new guy. The new GP is not a PIRATE!!!! hes just a pirate. Really all im, no all we are asking for is our traditional skins and VO.

I have mixed feelings about his current model on the PBE, it looks nice and really well made, but it makes him look pretty old. Still he looks a lot more serious and intimidating than the current Gangplank on live. So a traditional one would be interesting.
