Space Pirate Gangplank

So I play a lot of Gangplank and none of his skins do it for me. So I got this rad idea for space pirate gangplank!

-He would have a Beam Sword -He would have a Laser Pistol -His orange would stay "orangy" -His barrels would be connected by lasers rather than the normal gunpowder and would explode in a more futuristic fashion. -His ultimate would be a Meteor Shower, obviously.

It could be connected to the Astro Skin line and he could have the same walking changes and maybe his voice could have the same effect as well. Another option for his Cannon Barrage could be a Orbital Strike from his Space Pirate Ship, but the meteor shower feels more natural to me.

I know it takes riot a long time to create skins but unlike gangplank, I am a Patient Man.

I still stand by the Kiandymundi portrayal of Butt Pirate Gangplank

(For those who don't know, a literal ass with a sword, gun, and hat)

Spooky Gangplank is best Gangplank, though I really love this idea too.

On a side note, how on earth do you get GP to work in lane nowadays? The nerfs (especially to his base health) feel crippling to me and I can barely get the Saltwater Scourge out of lane even, let alone ahead.

Replace the** meteor shower** with an orbital strike from his spaceship and I would be satisfied.

His VO is composed by several clips of David Bowie's recordings to make a cohesive AMAZING VO

Could name it Pulse Fire GP and make TONS OF MONEY

Oh, another idea!

Since this'd be the first skin post-update, could his Deadman's Plate arm become a space-tech mecha arm?

GP as Captain Harlock from Galaxy Express 999?

Can he please look like Cowboy Bebop? I would pay hella money for that.

You know what. Yes. GP in my opinion just atracks weirdness. Yes, he's a pirate (Yarr and all that) but his personallity and being and what he does could really go anywhere. Make him a Super Galaxy skin for all I care because it'll suit him. At the moment, I would say all of his skins are all a bit too Niche and for that reason, I say give him some crazy.

Feels good to be heard tbh

I don't even need a concept picture to know I would buy this skin.

Are you crazy? Becouse of such an OP skin, GP would become as popular as pre-nerfs and Rito would nerf him agen. kappa
