if a champ has a 100% bannrate in lcs (and 90% overall in all lcs lck lpl etc) shouldnt riot nerf this champ? it clearly seems op.

20 more sec cd on his ult wont change much. he is feared because he can easily stack barrels and 1 Q with IE is almost a kill for the adc support and midlaner.

WOW, it's almost like their glass cannons or something.

However, that's exactly what gangplank is suppose to be doing. using a mechanic (which has plenty of counterplay by the way) which was designed to do lots of burst damage.

Which is why riot is removing power from other areas of his kit. Considering his ult has a scary amount of utility that can be exploited. (AFK clear waves like a Ziggs ult, but from global range is one example.)

Gangplank has been nerfed to high heaven. The Q not refunding mana if it has killed an enemy, has hurt his laning phase a lot. The only reason why he is getting banned, is because of his late game potential. IMO, he should be left alone.

They're chipping at his overall power because there's not a weak point they can really dig at, Gangplank is like, the perfect champion and he's got answers for everything when played well, so they're just trimming off power from everything they can
