I think you went a little overboard with the inc. GP nervs

Hi, imo the upcomming GP nervs are a bit too harsh. I really enjoy playing GP. I played him when he was considert broken and when he was considert weak. Let me start with his Q:

  1. V5.21 You remove the Manarefound on CS, okay i get it it was kinda OP cause GP could farm safe with Q and still Poke any Melee out of lane.
  2. V6.4 You lowerd the Bonus Gold generated by CS'ing with Q. I thought that was the point of the Ability. Tho it was reverted patially in V7.21. And now his "Main Mechanic" E: Since the Rework back in v5.15 this Ability was Nervt 3 times in a Row. Some nervs where justified (5 Barrles were broken af), reducing the %ArmorPen from 60 to 40% was kinda to much, but nessasary to embracing Tank-Meta (again).

And yet we face anothe nerf to both of above said Abilities. My question is: why? Tho only buff GP receved since his Rework was a slight increase of his Passive-Basedamage.

The Q nerf is (imo) completlly unnessasary, if you have to do it at least bring back the Manarefound. The E nerf may be, but if you have to nerf/change the duration, pls Riot, make it more rewarding to land them. For example raise the Bonus Damage to Champions, not even by much, 20-30 Damage would be enought to make it feel better to hit them.

I dont want to sound like a crybaby, but i had to adress this things.

I'm not going to pretend to know the first thing about GP, but the nerfs are probably meant to make him a situational pick and not a "you can play GP into almost anything" kind of pick.

gp is a super generalist right now. he goes pretty well into anything, and by late game can do massive aoe damage

Look in the LCS. He almost always gets fed when he is played.

LCS is not SoloQ. It never was and never will.

You can't really pull up nerfs from years ago and compare them to now. The game has changed too much. NOW, GP is an absolute monster of a champion when played by a good player.

The same as Cass, Ryze, Riven, Fizz and almost every other Champ. Every Champ is a monster if played by a skilled Player.

Because with the current itemization and the fact that he can abuse Kleptomancy like crazy, he's a fucking monster right now.
