While playing the new Gangplank I was very excited to try the new Cannon Barrage. Once I reached the 500+ silver serpent coins I quickly found I was unable to to upgrade the ability to the new buyable upgrades. Please help. Without Gangplanks upgrades it feels like he has been uber nerfed.
The Lexer5 votesI could do it fine, idk why, buy I've played with two Gangplanks who couldn't. +1, hope for fix
yolofest4 votesConfirmed, the silver serpent coins cannot be spent. Please fix this asap.
Doctor Feed4 votesSame problem, me and enemy GP couldn't upgrade our ults at all PLEASE FIX
VAJAYJAYSTANK3 votessame here BUMP IT UP!
Chespin20133 votesI can't do it either :/
FreezerTheWarrio3 votesSame thing happened to me. First game was ok, but on the second one, i gathered 1500+ SS, still could not upgrade cannon barrage. " Without Gangplanks upgrades it feels like he has been uber nerfed." - I feel he is much stronger now, I can almost one shot squishy champs by mid-game.
N5ej1yfh8y3 votesI have this issue aswell, even if its not on cooldown it doesn't work, I tried at 506 ss coins and 587 coins and still no upgrade.
Spyrit Wolf3 votesI am having this issue as well.
Spyrit Wolf3 votesStrangely enough, I went into a custom Twisted Treeline game vs bots to test it out, and it was working in there. But it appears that it isn't functioning on Summoner's Rift for me.
Faku243 votesI am also having the same issue with not able to upgrade Gangplanks ult. hopefully this does get fix soon like really soon!
Thrawn Solo3 votesJust had the problem in a game aswell..had 500 gold just incase it triggered from that for some reason. Had it off cooldown, had 527 SS and nothing...then got it to max rank at level 16, tried again..nothing, then used it to see if for some reason it had to be on cooldown..still nothing..
Also I like Gankplank's old E..his new one just feels very....useless..its super easy for enemies to remove them as a threat
RiotRiot Koalifier3 votesThanks for the report! We're aware of the issue. There's a workaround currently where you can access the Silver Serpent upgrades by switching from the "Recommended" tab and finding the upgrades in the "All Items" tab. You should be able to purchase the upgrades from the "All Items" section in this way.
Gavran2 votesI attempted this in my GP game, it still did not work. Could you be more specific? I used a search on the All Items page. Are there any other details you can share, such as anything to do with ult ranks/cd or gold amount? I've heard other people say they didn't have issues, and given that all items didn't work for me, I feel like I can't play GP at all right now. :\
RiotRiot Koalifier1 votesHmmm... I've tried a variety of combinations (get 500 SS then buy, get 1500 then buy, get level 6 then buy, etc.) and the workaround has worked each time. Just to clarify, is this the sequence you are following?:
Please also make sure that when you select the "All Items" tab, you don't have any filters checked in the store, otherwise the upgrades won't be visible.
If you do that sequence of events and still can't buy the upgrade, please let me know if anything stands out as different for you from what I've outlined. I've tried a few different ways of getting to the upgrades, and the workaround has worked for me each time. I hope that works!
Tayu3 votesI tried all of that, can't buy a single of the upgrades.
Gavran2 votesI didn't check the filters and I did a search for them by name in All Items after recommended didn't work. I think I'll play around a bit in some custom or bot games sometime though, see if there's something I don't realize I'm doing, and failing that, get enough successes under my belt to feel confident taking him in pvp again.
Thanks for the repro that's been working for you. I'll edit it in if I figure out something that makes it not work.
RiotRiot Koalifier2 votesHrm, I'm sorry it hasn't been working. If you didn't have any filters checked, then I'm not sure what it may have been. Please let me know if you discover what step I'm missing for getting it to be purchasable. I'm keeping an eye on this issue either way :3
Vistha Kai1 votesCould you please add those upgrades to the Recommended Tab?
PumpkinLantern2 votesSame. Further, I think 500 ss for one upgrade is not appropriate, and 200-300 ss for one upgrade is good, or no GPs can get 3 upgrade in one normal game.
Scully2 votesSame thing, can't upgrade Cannon Barrage 
Obv Slash2 votesI'm having the same problem. Needs to be fixed. I lost my promo today because the last team fight was lost because I didn't have Death's Daughter. If I had that, we would have destroyed the team and pushed for the win.
randomnest name2 votesI second this ^
Wanda Sykes2 votesAlso happened to me
TenshiSama1 votesI can't buy the upgrades as well.
RisenDarkKnight1 votesI had this problem for a bit but then i messed around with the shop and could buy the upgrades. I think the recommended items upgrades often don't' work but if you look through the shop manually it can work. IDK, but looking around in the shop for 30 seconds or so fixed it for me. They definitely should fix this bug though
Ni Meleth Li1 votesbump
shrimpdiddly1 votescan't upgrade either, havent been able to for any number of games now
rrilex1 votesFix I noticed it my first game and my solution was to go into the items page and uncheckmark all the filter boxes, apparently since it's a shop item it won't allow you to buy it since it doesn't have filter name here (critical chance for me) I hope this helps!
lorg death1 votesi seen this but i wish riot will let players know about bugs like this and workarounds for them before they even get in to a game it help prevent a lot of raging
Nilok1 votesWhen I played, I didn't find any option to upgrade my ult, so instead I had to search for the name of the upgrade.
No idea why they aren't under the recommended tab...
tyrannsaurusrekt1 votesThis also happened to me.
Scotty17001 votesI also had this bug just today. Screenshots to sort of show what was going on. I got to 500 Silver Serpents relatively early in the game yet even after getting over 1000, it wouldn't let me buy anything.
TheFungusKing1 votesI'm not sure if this is the same issue, but I noticed that when I checked some of the filters in the "All Items" tab, the upgrades under the "Recommended" tab became grayed out. Once I unchecked the filters under "All Items", the upgrades under "All Items" were once again purchasable.
Javazon1 votesYea I've had this issue as well. Very strange. On the bright side I haven't been able to buy the upgrade yet since gp update so I don't feel like I'm really missing out!
XLegendSlayerX1 votesi couldnt do it either, totally agree man. i had over 1000 silver coins
KotetsuTatsumaki1 votesHad the same issue. It said I had enough silver serpents but couldn't do anything. I was going crit-plank build and had an avarice blade when last hitting at some point, not sure if that had anything to do with it? Maybe the bonus gold from that caused a glitch?
XxXbenjiehamXxX1 votesI myself have played a couple of 
games on custom but when i get the first upgrade 
i cant continue to get the others even though i have 500+ 
DeathByHugsPanda1 votesI can't upgrade it please fix it.
