Is it just me or was Gangplank's E more useful before the change?

Are you telling me that a ball of stats is better than hitting your Q crit on the whole enemy team + the damage of the E itself?

Hell no, the barrels rule the rift.

bet u never saw a gangplank get permanent movement speed by spamming his baralls and hitting them.

His old E was, indeed, a ball of stats. His new E more than makes up for it.

However, the passive change where he lost his slow, has hurt him a LOT. He has no kill secure.

Uhh.... Have you ever been half health chunked by one of his barrels?

His E makes him very good at team fighting if you position the barrels correctly. Not to mention, his laning has also improved. I would go even further and say I like his passive much better now.

No. His old E was a dumb ball of stats that did nothing other than make him frustrating to play against.

When i play GP mid i usually end up with 50k+ damage on champions end of the game.

Wanna know why? Cause i can chain barrels to hit their whole entire team and ignore 60% of their armor! GP is in an amazing spot right now.
