Riot, please, dont make the new Gangplank thinner
I know that it may sound a bit weird, but I like him like this, a bit fatter than before his unfortunate event. As a fat person myself, I find it really difficult to find characters that I can relate to in almost any videogame (speaking of weight and body type) and having a fat champion not tied to some fatphobic motifs (like the few others here in League of Legends) is very helpfull for us, fat people.
-Gragas is a drunk man and all his kit is drinking or throwing alcohol -We have the yeti, ok, a more or less fat monster. But a monster at the end of the day. -Tham Kench have the same problem than the Yeti. Also, his kit is "goes around eating people". -Bard just looks fat, but he has no body and when he dies you can see a few lights leaving his body as the clothes fall off the ground. -Urgot, enough said.
Well, we Fat people are more than eating and drinking (and monsters). Our personalities and the things we do arent based on just "FOOD FOOD FOOD". We can do almost the same variety of things than thin people and its so sad to see that the very very few champions who occur to being fat are just biased and based on simple and hurtful ideas. It can look like a stupid thing out of our shoes, but being able to relate to fictional characters who share our body type AND are not built around these misconceptions can be healing for us. Also it would make it easier for you to create a Runeterra that feels more real. Because the real world is full of different bodies, and this new Gangplank could be a good way for you to start to depicting it.
PS: I'm Spanish, I hope the core of this post can be understood. If I sound kind of angry or something, its not the case. Im just trying to ask this the most polite way possible with my poor English and a lot of mistakes, probably u.u
