GP should only lose base health or suffer orange nerfs, not both. Ult should be left alone.

One thing you need to keep in mind is that when gp teleports, he legit has to be really far behind the enemies and take time to set up barrels. Aside from them, he has 0 cc and will do nothing except parrrley people every 4 seconds. It's pretty stupid. Gnar tps, he has a giant ass stun... ekko has super slows and a stun... teleport is so much more useful on everyone else. The only thing allowing him to have the global presence a top laner should have is his waveclear and ult. There are some times where an enemy barely lives with a small amount of hp, now his ult will be nothing unless someone is stunned in the middle of it or is stupid enough to stand still for 1 second and get smashed by the deaths daughter which you receive LATE GAME where he's SUPPOSED TO BE STRONG. The orange actually has a little delay so it can screw you over in some situations. I've played gp a lot, and looking at the ult nerfs.... People walk out of the ult so easily until, again, LATE GAME where he's SUPPOSED TO BE STRONG. Nothing too big happens, it just shoots faster so the slow is applied a bit more. Just because he's strong late game doesn't mean his laning phase should be super shit. It's not enjoyable if you have to sit and farm even safer now because of these nerfs because the darius will kill you as soon as he grabs you. Riots basically just saying; " here, this champ is strong. now we want you to farm more and be the enemies bitch until you get triforce " GP has a very big cooldown on barrels early and his laning phase is based off trying to play the enemies with barrels. Considering gnar, quinn, people with dashes, lucian etc that sometimes go top, he basically never lands a barrel unless it's in the fog.

He's too safe a hyper carry for what he gets in the late game. In a team fight, one good barrel onto multiple people (even just two) usually spells the end of the teamfight for the other team. It's stupid

He's a hyper carry. He deserves to be punished early in return for his scaling. You can whine and complain about his early game getting nerfed but let's face it, when he can straight up beat an early game/mid game champ without a lead or a misplay by his enemy, there is something wrong there. He needs the early game nerfs to balance out the fact that no other top laner can touch him late game.

He should keep all of his nerfs and also have his extra gold gain on parrley removed actually.

the other day there was countless amount of threads about how unfair and unbalanced gp is and people rant , raved, bitched and cried over it. so riot nerfs him which is very justified and its not even out yet and we get a tread crying out they over nerfed him. wtf do you people want?

My Nerf proposal: Increase oranges base heal but remove its missing-health bonus. Gps heal is nonexistent when he's above half health but gives him pretty much 70% of his health left if he's low. This will fix it. Decrease the slow on ult, but make it fire quicker. The slow on it is ridiculous for such a long ability, but then since the ability is long it makes it hard to deal a lot of damage, so the damage is excecuted quicker in order for it to not use bs slows for 8 seconds or so. Decrease the armor pen from barrel attacks significantly. I'm talking about dropping about 10-15% of the pen, not just 1-5%. It does WAY too much on enemies if you can land it (which isn't hard despite this thread making it seem ridiculously difficult, no idea what that was about) and the armor enemies have built is pretty much nonexistent with the ridiculous pen %.

His nerf barely touched him late game, these nerfs are meant to tone down his early game. No free farming with barrels anymore. No more free assist with Ult anymore, or atleast will be harder. IMO THEY DIDNT EVEN TOUCH HIS BARREL DAMAGE.... Imo thats a tragedy, but they nerf those 3 instead of barrels so it evens out. I'll litterally give those 3 nerfs for barrel damage nerf anytime of the day.
