TForce changes suck for GP.

TForce tentatively no longer gives crit chance and gives 20% CDR as opposed 10%, as well as more atk spd. Zeal is no longer in the recipe; stinger is.

So, while this is great for Ezreal's who wanna build TF as opposed to IBG, it sucks for GP. Now, with TF, IE, and EReaver he only has 40% crit chance, or, with TF, IE, and a zeal item he has 50% crit chance with less AD.

Either way, he has less crit chance than the typical 60% build most people build on him, and in the second option his crits will also do less dmg. While he was OP for a long time, he has been balanced the last 2 or 3 months and this really hurts him.

What I find funny is that the crit rate was only 10% until late in season 5 when it was changed. Trinity Force for 5 seasons always had 10% crit and was meant as a bruiser item. Gangplank on the other hand was released before season 1 even began.

That's because Zeal had 10% crit until the marksman update.

When Zeal got changed to 20% crit, Trinity was changed accordingly. As a result, the AS on it got completely gutted to being just barely better than a Dagger, and it became unattractive for champions who built it and liked the AS. People like Jax, Irelia, Udyr.

I'm not arguing right or wrong I'm saying that gangplank existed when he only had one damage skill outside of his ult for 5 seasons with a 10% crit chance triforce.
