Is it just me or does it feel like it takes a tad bit too long to farm up the Silver Serpents? If its not a problem for people, I would appreciate any tips on how to go about earning more of them, but I have been last hitting minions with my Q to make sure I earn them. Thanks for the feedback. Also, a personally I feel like collecting the Silver Serpents would go by a bit easier if you earned them on champ kills as well (and I am referring to killing them without parley), it would make earning them a bit easier.

how many silver coins does it cost to unlock a gangplank that isn't pigeonholed into one specific role with one underwhelming build that brings nothing to any kind of team comp?

maybe they could start you off with a coin for every one of their shitty remakes. keeping yorick busy with plenty of fresh graves to dig, or maybe rito should put his interns back to cleaning the coffee machine or something, these guys need some real work to do instead of wasting time NERFING UNDERPOWERED CHAMPIONS.

Even with barrel farming, how many minutes does it take to get 500 Silver Serpents?

Didn't take me too long to get two upgrades on my cannons. The trick is to make great use of your barrels. If you see a decent wave coming, you set up a minefield right around the wave, and Q one of the barrels. If you've got crit, it applies that. Same as armor penetration and triforce boost. Let's say you've got 4 barrels. You drop them around the wave in a close knit diamond pattern, and blast one of the barrels. It allows you to cash in a bunch of Silver Serpents on any of those creeps killed by your Q+Barrels combination.

3 Barrels in a triangle, 5 barrels in a diamond with one in the middle. These work as well. As long as the indicator borders overlap each other enough, you can chain those barrels. :)

Are we talking SR, or one of the other game modes? I heard they were testing some ambient SS generation on the maps that arn't the rift.

One thing I will point out. try to gauge the damage that your parley does. Caster minions I think will have a little over 300 health, and melee minions, about 500 health. If you can one shot a minion with your Parley, you can clear the entire wave with your keg.

At max rank, your parley will score 8 plunder per minion kill. 6 minions a wave, (or 7 for a siege minion wave) you would have 48-56 plunder per minion wave. By that point, you should have enough damage to 1 or 2 shot the minion wave. If you need more than one shot, make sure to have an extra keg in stock, and have enough CDR to get your parley off.

But over all, as the game progresses, You SS farm should begin to accelerate, and you can get the other upgrades faster.

what´s worst for me is that he doesnßt gain bonus silver-coins for killing monsters, so they not only hurt support-gp, but also jungle-gp with their rework. Leaving him as sort of very one-dimensional farm-bot->splitpusher. I really really donßt like the rework at all. He´s been an incrdible versatile Champion and they took all that away.

Also keep in mind that the amount of Silver Serpents you get is equal to the Parrrley extra gold, per creep. So as you level it up, you go from 4 per creep, to 8. So it could end up varying how quickly you amass them, based on your ability to use the Q+E together.
