Can Gangplank passively earn Silver Serpents on Summoner's Rift too?

You're already giving him a one per second boost on ARAM and Twisted Treeline due to the fact that he can't be guaranteed to CS well, but it doesn't change an issue I have with it on SR. Bascially, Gangplank could theoretically run OOM, or be put in an awkward situation where he can't push because of no vision or huge enemy team pressure, and he'll end up backing with something stupid like 494 Silver Serpents. So he has to wait until he Qs a minion 1-2 times, and then backs again just to get the bonus? I think that's a little bit unnecessary. Veigar and Nasus get their bonuses right away for doing pretty much the same thing.

It honestly doesn't even have to be a huge Silver Serpent generation over time either. Something like Cassiopeia's (I'M SORRY CASS MAINS, I KNOW YOU HATE THE REWORK, BUT THIS ACTUALLY COULD BE IMPLEMENTED WELL, SO I'M REMINDING YOU AGAIN OF HER REWORK) passive generation of one every ten seconds would probably work just fine. That, and I'd also like to see jungle Gangplank work again, and while it worked pretty well prework, rework he's way more effective at earning Silver Serpents top lane.

Outside of that, GP looks pretty alright balance-wise. He feels a lot more challenging to play, as well as rewarding to do so. Even a seasoned Gangplank main like myself has trouble detonating the casks against an alert enemy team, even if I hide a barrel behind FOW or in a brush. Yet when it goes off it's very satisfying.

I agree, that or make it so you get your ALL your mana back when you use your q on a minion.

Let's not get too hasty here champ. I think you're forgetting why Gangplank was dumpstered before his rework. Basically he'd get crit quints and just Q opponents non-stop until he'd eventually crit them and cheese them out of lane. The mana gating on his Q was to prevent him from doing that. Now that he doesn't have a mana cost on his E anymore, doing that is a very bad idea. I don't want to see GP get dumpstered again because level one cheeseplank makes a comeback.

Gangplank gets his bonuses right away as well, you know.

It's called 494 more gold than you would have had.

And, what does that have to do with his upgrades to his ultimate?

They're purely optional.

Does anyone realize that you can get credit for the entire minion wave with your barrels? By using Q on the barrel is applies that effect to everything hit by the barrel so on pushed waves one Q can net you nearly 100 coins.
