Gangplank Buff Thoughts

TheNinthDragon··4 votes·692 views

GP has a buff on the PBE that increases his passive burn damage by +15 dmg throughout the game. While it is nice, it probably won't do much to help GP in competitive play. Instead, can Riot pls change GP's Q so that it doesn't stop him from moving during its cast? Similar to Syndra Q where she can cast it while moving. This is a good QOL change that would buff GP without changing his numbers and helps his kite potential and also helps his re-positioning in team fights. Thoughts?

that'd be a pretty huge buff tbh

The ability to do damage without interrupting your positioning gives the user quite a significant advantage

the movespeed from shooting a barrel already makes him annoying to catch later in the game, if he could do that repeatedly without stopping idk.

I think the only buff GP needs is a QOL where his Q has the mana refund back, but in order to make his barrel-farming not give him 3000 mana every shot, it should only be for a single cast's worth of refund (or however much it was refunding before). Similar to how Nasus Q will only stack 1 thing even if he gets something like a Hydra or Iceborn that does AOE that gets extra kills.
