Gangplank is still completely cancerous to play against

Cmon man, the champ effectively has no counterplay once he gets his sheen. "Weak early game?" Nope. Goes corrupting potion and pops an orange, suddenly went from 10% health to 80%. GP mains love to point out his "weak" early, but the truth is that he has the same problem as Jax - he simply scales far too quickly. At half an item he can already nearly oneshot waves and block the entire lane with his barrels. There is no retaliating against this champ as he'll either: 1. Kite you to death; 2. Outdamage you thanks to his sheen; 3. Heal back up for free.

He's poor design and ought to be reworked. His cowardly playstyle isn't a good thematic - it's absolutely cancerous and anti-fun to play against. Here you have a late game-oriented champion who has built-in mechanics to eliminate that supposedly weak early.

Well he's still a glass cannon and his orange doesn't heal THAT much until it's endgame or they max w and do hilariously low damage. Also he doesn't outdamage anyone because of sheen it's because of his crit barrels.

I find him cancerous because although he is supposed to be monster late game, he is good all around. Are you tank? No fun for you, he will spam you from under his turret and if you decide to go in, he just pops orange and your cc is gone. Fighter? Why should he bother! He will just sit back, spam his Q and farm. If he runs out of mana, he will just get sheen and on lvl. 9, his Q costs 40 mana! You can not do anything against him, unless he is r%%%%%ed or you get camp. Not to mention that thanks to this playstyle, you will be pushing quite a lot because he can freeze the wave really easily, so you will be ganked many times. For me, i got camped in 7 games out of 10 against gangplank.

I know this looks like a broken man who really hates GP mains, but damn, they are really fucking up with me.
