WTF happened to Gangplank? How is anyone going to take him seriously now?

What the hell did you guys do to him? The new GP was awesome. His splash art was amazing, his model was epic, he was becoming one of my new favorite champions. A bad ass pirate who don't take !@#$ from no one.

Now he's just fat.

Really fat.

Like, Gragas fat.

Gragasplank maybe?

Who in their right ind thought this would be a good idea and accepted among the community? How is anyone going to take him seriously now? You guys had this amazing event, with this amazing lore behind it, and it was all coming together so well. And then this happened, and now GP is a laughing stock. Why ruin such an amazing event like this?

just, dear god, why?

That's nowhere near Gragas level of fat. It's more of a well-built kind of fat as opposed to just 'fat' fat.

The fact that he's sitting in his splash art, combined with the thing around his waist, makes him look fatter in the splash than he actually is.

Being fatter doesnt make GP less terrifying than before and I think the fact that the champion evolved not just mentally but also physically after the event is a good new thing.

I'd honestly just like to know WHY he got fatter. "Whelp got blown up by a cannon and my arm fell off. Gained 100 pounds in the process"

With the grey hair it looks like he may have aged a lot, is there supposed to be a big gap between "captain" gangplank and the new gangplank?

I think the new one is meant to be much older, I don't think you can exactly get back to walking like nothing happened after having your leg and arm off....

That actually is pretty cool.

I said the same thing, the concept are was way cooler than what we got in game. I think probably they didn't do it for technical reasons since having a sword arm would require new animations and such, so instead they just gave him a robot arm and kept his old animations.

Still, the hat and the shoulder pad thing are so much cooler in this design.

Well even if it didn't come with the arm sword I'd be quite happy if the new model was as brutish and badass as this one. I could see elements of this in the new model, but it just all seems rather.. "off"

It pisses me off what they did to GP, I loved the new GP. While I have the Special Forces Gangplank skin, the new model makes him look like a joke, not to mention just playing stupid.

In my opinion, Rito just did it to make more money. They trash the base look so everyone will buy Captain Gangplank, Not to mention the horrible look of the new splash.

This Better be a joke, some sort of sick joke. Rito better fix this.

He is only getting a new model for his base skin.

I think he looks just as sexy and scary as before.

Love how people are complaining about his "gut". That's not his gut; that's his chest. The dude is huge and ripped. A shirt just doesn't cover it up anymore.

you can get the skin for free and pretend its ok
