Just testing him out in a few games today. I like the visual updates, but I miss the added passive on the Q.
Barrels are going to take a lot of getting used to.
I'm always like, dangit come back here and get blown up by my powder keg!
IMO they should reduce the passive to 10 second cooldown and let it apply on Q.
Frigid Ice Storm1 votesIkr, the E is so hard to use, especially against ranged opponents. They just destroy the barrel outside of the explosion radius so I can never make the chain link plays :/ The only time I use the barrels is to clear minions faster, can't damage people with it

I went and took the time to save the IP for gangplank, only to find that it was made free to play for the duration of the event. And rumor is, People will just try to insta lock him.
I suppose you could take him into team builder, but you would probably be waiting a long time.
BRBGTGBOWFLEX1 votesI wasn't a fan of him originally. I think this update doesn't really change much about his core identity or how he works. I feel like he does less damage now and the barrels have way too much counterplay.
He seems sort of out of place in top lane and what he becomes (a primary damage dealer with minimal cc) isn't something usually needed there. Unfortunately, he doesn't work well mid either, so he's just kind of a "for funsies" champ.
KONO RUBICK DA1 votesmajor problem i have is that i'm an agressive gangplank, but then i don't have enough stacks to upgrade the ultimate
