There is absolutely no reason he should get such an enormous gold advantage now that he has a competitive kit. His 8 extra gold per CS was reasonable when he could only CS 1 minion at a time and he didn't scale particularly well. It's no longer reasonable now that he can 1 shot entire waves and he's a late game monster.
Chuck Charles2 votesthe gold is not the issue. the issue is his barrels just flat out do too much damage. once that is fixed he won't feel so overbearing. his early game is pretty damn awful.

I couldn't agree more, his early game is trash tier. And if they nerf the gold gain on his Q they're going to have to lower the price on his cannon upgrades to match.
ShaftyMegee1 votesHe one shots whole waves? With his barrels?

That's correct. Once he has Tri and a BF sword, he will 1 shot entire waves with his barrels and get the 8 extra gold from Q with every single one.
ShaftyMegee1 votesOo that's pretty strong.

magic pole1 votesyou are mistaken.
if you pop a barrel with Q, you gain bonus gold from minions killed as if you Q'd each individual minion. once he starts one shotting waves with 2 barrels, he's getting 2-3 extra minions worth of gold per wave.
i still don't know if i agree with OP since gangplank's damage is not consistent. also, barrels are rather difficult to land. he may need the extra gold / extra early item to remain competitive.
