Why did Gangplank getting nearly killed make him Fat?

Any reason at all for completely changing the model? I really don't understand how an explosion changed him so much. Also, can you guys please let me play as him again? Gangplank has been my main for a long time so being unable to play as him for a week is a dick move Riot.

Can you imagine the player backlash if they disabled Riven or Lee Sin? Just because like 8 people main Gangplank doesn't make it ok to remove him from the game for 1+ weeks :/

noticed that too

you know that saying "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"?

In portuguese it's literally "what doesn't kill you makes you fat"

so.. That, I guess?

Unless i am derping with Before/After as usual (English isnt my first language), i am pretty sure Captain Gangplank refers to the time he ruled Bilgewater, prior to Miss Fortune exploding the hell out of him.

Edit: Nevermind. It is certanly weird that he gained weight....i thought Captain GP would be an entirely new skin, as opposed to his current base.

It would make sense if Captain Gangplank was the fat one, since i imagine he sat on his ass giving orders way more often than after surviving Miss Fortune's attack.

Yeah, they need to add a little definition to his chest. He looks fat despite being the same proportions as all his other skins.

My guess is that he was wearing a girdle to conceal his fat, or he had a more mighty, respectful stance before he got blown the fuck up that he stopped doing because he's too pissed to keep his decor up.

Yeah I took one look at the new base and was like, "Wtf gragas is that you?"

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.

How about you get exploded and then come talk to us about how much it changed you. Ziggs

I feel like the new outfit needs to be more scarred where he's got his skin exposed, like he actually just came out of an explosion

The tattered outfit looks really cool, and he only looks fat in the splash art, but he looks a little lacking in torso definition

1 - It's one week, dude. Is patience a thing that just doesn't exist?

2 - If you weren't busy panicking for no reason you'd read they are enabling GP tomorrow and giving Captain Gangplank (His VU) as a free skin to anyone who owns him and played him/will play him during the event. As a GP main I'm sure that isn't a problem for you

He's not fat, he barrel chested and his stomach reflects that. I mean, I've seen shots of body builders who had bigger guts than he does just because of the shape of their skeleton.

Maybe they inserted things in his body? Kind like Urgot, probably
