Gangplank's gritty reboot is lame. Any chance of the old silly version being usable again?

Like, even if not brought back entirely, as a skin or something? I don't know. I really liked the old silly Gangplank thematically. I feel like the attempt to make him DARK or whatever has kinda stripped the soul out of the champion.

Kinda doesn't really fit his kit either. His barrel and cannon barrage abilities are really silly and you've got the guy shouting BARREL, but then he's like some manner of Zed wannabe with his quotes.

I like the changes to his kit, but I just want my old jolly pirate back.

hes still sorta silly in a couple of ways but the reason hes so gritty is because thats who he is in the lore trust me i loved old gp how he seemed more likely to be getting some rum with ya and talk about his latest haul as opposed to demand respect and kill you if you looked at him wrong. riot just put out a round table talk news about this but we wont be gettin the goofy pirate again sorry man best we got is captain gp

I'm gonna be probably the only person on the planet to thumbs up this thread.

He used to be such a colorful unique character, now he's just this generic Captain Barbosa look-alike
