Remember when people complained how the Ryze rework ruined him? Then he got some minor buffs, and is now one of the strongest champs in game. It's the same thing. It hasn't even been a week yet, so people are still getting used to his different play style. If he is week, he'll get some buffs next patch, but right now, people are still not used to his new kit, as his basically a new champion (hence the new champion-esque win rates)

you mean major buffs, binary champions that outduel their opponent just by having more stats have major changes on small buffs.

There are no major buffs in his kit, and he still gets outdueled by most champions.

So your rhetoric is lost.

Ryze was garbage before rework and now is shit after rework.

I climbed 3 ranks in a day when everyone was playing ryze top. Then again i was playing top main mostly at the time and running J4, Olaf, and Darius which barley even broke a sweat against ryze. Now he has a skill shot so a small step to the left or right cuts his damage by a lot.

Are you one of those people that calls for a surrender vote when it's 5 minutes into the game and someone on your team game up first blood? Because you're counting the rework out equally early.

Gangplank has a new ability, one that's not like any other ability in the game, and you gave people four days to master it?

The Gangplank players who main him, and have over 125 games on him, are still maintaining a 51% win rate. These people have put in enough games to start to utilize his new barrels effectively. Your win rate stat is also being destroyed by the influx of players playing him. He went from a 2.3% play rate to a 17.98% play rate.

TL;DR: Gangplank mains are on course to mastering him again, and land lovers and drowning his win rate in the depths of the sea.

Except you can't play nearly as aggressively as Phreak demonstrates in the spotlight early game with the barrels.

He's literally trash tier right now unless you farm your ass off for the Shekelstein Supreme with Silver Serpents.

I can't speak to play style, as I've only got one game with the rework under my belt. But regardless, there is a play style that is above 50% win rate.

It's barely been a week, people need time to figure out his combos and his core items. Heck, I even heard that item 3508 could be powerful on him. Players need more time for testing those things and getting used to using his barrels.
