How did Gangplank not get a Pool Party Skin?
Hey there, Onwodori here.
I love the new Pool Party skins we got. Really. Taric deserved it for sure and I quite like Fiora's as well.
However, MF didn't especially need a new Skin. Gangplank's reworked form has been out for quite awhile now and this seemed like the logical and best place to give him one! I know he has a lot but a Pool Party skin for Gangplank? That's perfect.
For a quick overview, he's have a water pistol in place of his flintlock and probably a pool noodle as a sword as Fiora has. He'd have swim trunks or perhaps even an old, one piece bathing suit that incorporates pirate-y symbols -- Anchors, sharks, treasure, etc. I could see a dab of sunblock on his nose and sun hat, since Gangplank always needs a hat. (It's a rule.)
Recall: He'd walk past a sand castle that appears, hesitate, and then rush over to stomp it down before raising his noodle in triumph.
Passive: The pool noodle would get a watery shimmer around it's end when active and splash when spent on an enemy.
Q: He shoots his water pistol. Pretty simple.
W: Oranges are still oranges. Perhaps he gets a tropical slide guitar as he eats them and some Hawaiian type flowers float down
E: Large water pails filled with water that are linked in chains with either drips of water or swimming lane dividers (The red and white ropes in public pools)
R: His standard laugh with water balloons raining down now with splashing sound effects and graphics.
Joke: Instead of juggling oranges, he juggles water balloons.
It feels right for his character, being the one guy at the pool or beach that is both happy and miserable.
Let me know what you think and I'll pencil up a sketch tomorrow to post.
