So I just played against a Gangplank

I see enemy picked Gangplank top, so naturally I think a good early game champion that can constantly all-in him should be the perfect choice as a counter.

I take xin zhao, the king of early game duels. I even take ignite to amplify the kill pressure.

Anyway, game progresses and my lee sin ganks the gangplank, I get first blood. Pretty nice! Everything's going smoothly for now.

Immediately after coming back, I get ganked by the enemy nidalee, giving away a kill to her, but in return my lee sin counterganks shortly after while she still stayed in the lane and gets a kill netting me 150 gold for the assist. Sick!

I come back to lane, both me and gp are lv5.

My items : cutlass His items: ruby crystal, long sword, boots and a flask

At this point I'm 1-1-1 and he's 0-1-1

My ignite is up.

He has his barrel on top of him but I figure it won't do a lot of damage since it's early game, and his passive is down.

We both have around 3 creeps alive. We are both level 5. So I think to myself, now it's the perfect time to all in him!

I initiate with E, press W and Q (Allllllllllllllllllll the buttons), he pops his barrel and ...

Just destroys me in a 1v1.

I just die.

Like that...

I even ignited his W heal.

I don't understand how they could give a borderline underpowered champion buffs to ALL OF HIS SKILLS and call that a "rework".

Basically, imagine the old GP , he was trash-tier, right? But not a complete waste of champion. Now imagine buffing every single one of his aspects and giving him another zoning tool (besides his Q).

I don't understand what happened to weak early game champs such as Jax, Vlad, Yi, Tryndamere (okay, the last one could cheese you but he was still weak early).

Now we have a champion that has no weak point in the game, scales insanely hard, AND to top it all off he has global pressence with his ulti.

Season 5 truly is the worst season I've ever played in (playing since s1), and I just wish that riot would man up and go :

"Okay, we admit, we fucked up." - And revert ALL these shitty reworks.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to put out my thoughts as a long time top lane player.
