I used to love playing gangplank jungle.. but now hes so bad at jungling it makes me sad :( He NEEDS something to allow him to be a decent jungler. In my opinion, no champion should be locked into being able to do ONE role (Like bard.. poor poor bard....)

Before the rework: Jungle gangplank was excellent solely due to his passive and.. a little bit of his oranges. the passive DoT would deal perfect damage to camps and the slow allowed sweet ganks. Gankplank if you will.

After the rework: The true damage is almost unnoticeable when coming to camps, Resetting it means either waiting for the barrels insane cooldown and then hitting it, or hitting the barrel with autos until the timer goes down sacrificing a lot of hp to the camp. Ganking comes down to literally placing a barrel and trying to wait out the cooldown to maybe land a slow, the enemies will most likely just move out of the way of the barrel...


To sum it all up, gankplank is only viable top lane and very rarely mid lane. This should be fixed, no champion should be restricted to one lane. All champions should have diversity. The sad thing is, gangplank HAD power to jungle, but it was taken from him. I'm sure riot will give him the power he needs to jungle though... even if it's in 3 years :P

another huge problem is that he has a lot harder time farming silver-serpents in the jungle, so he won't be able to get as much ultupgrades as lane gp. Also a huge porblem for support gp...but support gp has taken a huge hit with the E rework anyway.

Oh yeah! i totally forgot about that. To be honest i think the ult upgrade costs are way to way. Of all matches i've played with gangplank (Top lane) Ive never been able to get all 3 upgrades.

I'm pretty sure that will be changed in a few patches after they see how often Rank 3 Ult is gotten. Maybe make it 400 at all ranks.

Im sorry you feel that way. Ive been asking many of my friends for any pointers on the new gangplank jungle. Everything i have tried just does not work optimally. The new gangplank update completely killed him when it comes to the jungle. Any pointers you can give me? Also, i would love to know why you think he never lost his power in the jungle. Thanks for the reply!
