Can Gangplank get a buff please?

I don't believe that his damage needs to be changed at all, and truth be told, i'm actually really happy with the guaranteed crit of stormrazor vs the RNG that he had to deal with in the past. All that I propose is a bit of mana sustain to help him out in lane, since it's hard for him to farm in hard matchups. Ex, make his Q like Annie's and refund mana from minions that he last hits with the ability. This way, he is incentivized to last hit with his Q rather than having to spend all lane spamming it on his opponent. GP took a hit when it came to mana sustain after they changed item 1056 and added adaptive damage to the game, it makes it a really stupid item to take. Since when you start Doran's ring, you get adaptive AP rather than AD which is what Gangplank wants.

hmm lets give it a thought....

he gets to farm from safety with Q and get more gold for last hitting with Q, he has a free cleanse with his oranges, global ult where he can be wrecked on in lane and get free asst or a kill just from just using ult else where, one of the best scaling champs. there is still his free gold he gets with kleptomency ...

buff or not to buff.....

NOPE

What?!?!

Q already has gives an incentive to last hit minions with it, you get bonus gold.

The only way I could see them adding mana sustain into his kit would be through his oranges, and if they were to do something like that, they would need to nerf his heal. .. and I would say that is pretty unlikely since it already has a cleanse as well.

The lack of mana sustain in his kit is part of how he is kept in balance. The way he is designed, he is great for afk farming in top lane and pressuring the rest of the map with his ultimate. He needs to have something that keeps him from being able to do this endlessly without proper itemization.

I believe the most common answer to his mana issues is Sheen because it has good synergy with his Q and procs on barrels.
