Featured Link: The Art of League of Legends
The original version of Gangplank was loved by many players, but even his most steadfast fans had to admit he felt a little stereotypical. Folks around the office regularly referred to him as “Piratey McPirate,” in reference to his somewhat-lacking personality. Reworking the Saltwater Scourge allowed us to evolve him from caricature to character. Artists and storytellers worked hand-in-hand through an intense adventure of mayhem and chaos to color Gangplank’s broad strokes with nuance. Now, the once-tropey pirate is a barbaric, wild-card captain who clawed his way back from certain death with nothing but salt in his wounds. -
