endless free zoning and wave clear...
But it is balanced since it is a pirate...
Free barrels of gunpowder... really Riot
Who's idea was it to make a mana champ basically manaless with a free barrels?
Just make them something like 30 mana that would be enough to make a passive GP have to back at some point but a good GP able to make use of the barrels instead of just staying in lane for 10 minutes. It is not the armor pen that is the problem it is the lack of being able to punish a GP who does not make good use of the barrels especially early game. I get you want people to play GP sometimes but given his other straights making his early gamehave limites where if someone facing him forces him to use miss use the barrels he gets punished instead of going in on him and he just eats an orange and runs away since he always has the mana. In other words reasonable counter play to a champ that has good scaling into late game and to easy of a time playing it safe early game.
Riot this is not going to destroy him any more then forcing players to back to prevent getting killed or being able to keep using abilities for farming. Much like a Nasus having to back to get mana to Q farm.
