Gangplank is fine right where he is.

Mira Arya Enthe··50 votes·5,129 views

I don't know what is with the boards wanting to change stuff that is fine and leave stuff that is not balanced. But I have seen several people in various boards discussions complain that Gangplank is broken and needs direct nerfs while others say if he is nerfed anymore he will be unplayable ane needs urgent buffs.

Truth is I hate playing against GP(Sorry Tidal Tyrant). That said Gangplank not only has clear counterplay but it is non-linear, it neither removes him from usefulness when countered nor makes hin completely noob stomp when not countered. And he also provides a lot of team utility, like Ashe levels of team utility with his global ultimate slow and dmg, his AoE slow for team fights. So he isn't a linear damage stick like Yi.

But that aside he is even well balanced right now. http://www.leagueofgraphs.com/champions/stats/gangplank/platinum

No matter which crappy stat website you look at GP is fine. If he does ever become overbearing I am sure Riot will jump right on nerfing him. They know all about nerfing champions with team ultimates.

You don't get to say that mr SHURIMA.

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

Hey, Shurima rolls off the tongue better than BARREL.

Besides, I'd much rather listen to Azir's epic voice than GP's piratey voice. His global laugh on ult I can appreciate however.

Eh, I ain't gonna say he can't be an annoying champion to face :P

KONO RUBICK DA6 votes

he's annoying if he plays safe

but you don't play safe with gp, which is why you die a lot

Hmm. You logged into your smurf to say this makes me wonder where those initial burst of downvotes came from, and usually come from the instant I post a thread :thinking:

https://i.gyazo.com/e2ab8aa14276845a59d8a17b7730c36a.png

? GP isn't broken, GP is balanced and is trash until lvl 13+ triforce

he isn't fiora that bullies lane bullies and then scales into late game

why on earth would i downvote this post?

Mira Arya Enthe8 votes

You get paranoid when every post you make has an instant hit of the same exact amount of downvotes within 30s of posting. I apologize if that paranoia was misplaced but some specific group of people or some single person with smurfs tries to whack my posts from visibility as fast as possible the instant they are posted.

KONO RUBICK DA8 votes

Yes this happens often when you post the opposite of what the board wants to hear, next time tell them that mobile champions should not have 350 ms

Mira Arya Enthe6 votes

Then again. I think some of the same people go after your posts. Or at least a different group of people. Me I just like disagreeing with people for the sake of discussion. I even once posted opposing points of view from my main account and smurf to see which is a more popular point of view haha.

Anyway. No hard feelings I hope. Under a lot of stress recently and looking for enemies everywhere.

I'm well aware of that and suffered for months of that problems when i posted about lulu being broken and now she's getting nerfed

but i still continued no matter what

I suppose that's excusable...

What is it with alll these smurfs anyway? How do you even keep track of them all? Or make them?

Are half the boards just the other half's smurfs?

tin foil hat on

What if Heretic Lunari is just a smurf of Face the Sun when he feels like being a moon worshiper?

What if Melledoneus is just a smurf Laughing Fish uses when he talks about Shen?

What if Fuffychan is just a smurf Malicious Metal uses when he wants to let off steam?

What if Big Lincoln is just a smurf of Dominusx?

What if Arya Riven is Mira's smurf?

What if TyrekGoldenspear is just a Ralanr smurf when he tires of playing tanks?

He changes names more than Ryze gets reworks.

I mean you're kinda right there. Neither of you seem to give a damn if you disagree with the majority of the boards.

TyrekGoldenspear2 votes

What? Nah Metal Malicious ain't a smurf. Just a big fan.

Like like Delicious Metal.

Sahn Uzal3 votes

That's not MM tho lol

I knew this was going to cause a ton of confusion the moment he decided to rename. Ffs.

TyrekGoldenspear1 votes

Wait I'm confused now. He isn't your smurf?

Malicious Metal5 votes

Nope.

Who renamed? Someone familiar from the boards?

Edit nvm I know now.

Hyperscaling AoE damage threat with a teamplay ult, with low-mid range and has healing? Such bullshit.

Is it wrong that when you show a Mordekaiser icon my brain initially goes "Malicious Metal"?

800 dmg on barrels with 2 items.. "not broken"

Mira Arya Enthe9 votes

800 damage on an easily dodged, high counterplay, primary nuke that often is his only source of unreliable damage and threat. Also, in my personal experience Teemo destroys him, no?

Penns4 votes

"Easily dodged, high counterplay" lel

maybe if he couldnt place one after already exploding the first one xd

KONO RUBICK DA6 votes

i'm not sure if you're trolling because i thought it was comon knowledge

but if GP chains barrels they don't detonate all instantly, which makes people able to walk out of barrels or dash out of this

and that is the definition of counterplay in case you also didn't know this

SirΤeemο1 votes

100% u are bronze , if u really believe gp is balanced . well , you play EUW which is worst than NA ... so ok

100% u are bronze , if u really believe gp is balanced .

that's a great way to show how GP's barrels don't detonate instantly

but if there is one thing that i hate is people telling me that i'm bad at the game while standing on an other region, and then realising they can't elo shame a master tier player they start to shittalk the entire region because they think i'll never meet them and destroy them

welcome to my black list friend, you should feel honored that i considered to not ignore your negative IQ post

SirΤeemο2 votes

easily dodge? really?? have u seen the range of those barrels? LOLOLOLOL 100% u are a gp main.

yes ... teemo counters gp , but im not talking about teemo, but in general
