May, i ask, who the hell made this rework..? cause like i've played 5 or 6 games and i must say... they did amazing. Honestly i love his kit, his e is hard but, if used correctly, a rewarding burst, his q is the same but now we get coins to get the ulti? like i see no one talking about this! anything you hate about the new changes to him? anything you wish was different?
I have not seen a GP do well yet. Playing against GP I have not found his barrels to be any threat and his lack of movespeed makes him a joke to catch now. Ability to get in and out to Q has been devastated.
i like it overall just keeping an eye on it. posted this thing which may be of concern, see how things unravel. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/QkzxrqaB-regarding-gangplank-barrels
I find him much more enjoyable to play and have had fun playing him.
As a long time Gangplank main, this rework is tits. As much as I loved cheesing with jungle and support Gangplank, I'm more than happy with throwing those out in favor of him actually being viable.
His passive is awesome, his Q got even more awesome, his W is actually a one point wonder now, but still 20% cooler, his E fits his kit really well, and his ultimate is twice as awesome now because you can upgrade it to fit your needs.
I wish that he'd earn Silver Serpents over time so I could jungle with him better, and possibly even support, but that's the only thing I'd change. Something like one every ten seconds would do the trick.
The new GP is a joke. No passive move + attack bonus, a long with no toggle team speed + attack boost, his E's are countered by any and everyone, his W heals for didly squat unless you're almost dead and it doesnt matter much anyway and his new passive is crap on a 15 sec long CD.
Gimme back grog soaked blades, gimme back my passive speed and gimme back my heal, you can keep your bugged SS that doesnt even work
I'm not even sure I like it, tbqh.
The whole flaming blade schtick seems kind of stupid when Grog Soaked Blade was thematically better.
I think they need to buff his barrels so It's not ridiculously easy to counterplay and just end up hurting Gangplank much more than helping him, but he seems really strong to me. Good duelist, good teamfighter.
I think his barrels mechanic isn't really bad or good just awkward to use. It's some what latency based if you are just a split second to slow to attack the thing or an enemy moves away , it's wasted. The ultimate upgrades takes a wee bit to long to get a cost reduction of say a 100 might make it more regularly attained.
Does anyone remember that barrels can line up with each other? and you can line up all your barrels shoot one and it'll explode the others, so for me. Lane phase, throw a barrel behind me, and one linking it to it, when they come in shoot the one behind me, it explodes them both, and usually its a melee top lane so they try to AA it, causing massive damage and slow :3
Make it easier to level up his ult.
New GP is fun, but I like old GP better.
W was rebalanced. Better for the clutch, but old oranges were honestly better (even though they were OP).
E - High risk, high reward. It's hard to get E off, but it feels good. I like EQ farming. I miss the passive AD and MS on Raise morale though. Using it to get assist was pretty nice as well.
He was much simpler before.
I think he is still kinda on the weak side on the stat department, but I feel he has more options to outplay his opponent now.
His abilty to hold lane and avoid ganks are better as you can use barrels under turret as a deterrent not to mention he has better wave clear now.
I also feel he is better mana wise.
However most of his positive matchups is still not in his favour by a large margin.
I love it, it's such a fun kit to use.
