Played a custom game with another Gangplank and, had a wonderful time! The new Gangplank changes are really nice and give a define way to play him. There were a few things I really liked and a couple I didn't think felt right.

Let's talk skills: Passive: Gangplanks new passive feels... REALLY FREAKING GOOD. It uses the same type of mechanic from old Gangplank with scaling AD and true damage. While i like the tower effect that it gave it felt really... over done... while I don't think it needs to go away I feel it shouldn't be as over bearing. I can already seeing people back before Gangplank and him having no trouble to massacre the tower. Late game it feels like you literally melt the tower. Feels nice but... dirty... I give this 7.5/10

Q Parrrley: Don't fix what isn't broken. Improving? You got me there, serpent coins are a nice feel, power spike feels nice and gives you a real thinker on your choice. Not much I can say but really nice improvement. 10/10

W Remove Scurvy: MISSING HEALTH?? Tank planks are going to have a field day, I can already see myself just building tanky because with passive I can be a real nuisance with just a trinity force. 9/10

E Powder Keg: Didn't get to try yet will add when I can. (bugged where we couldn't see them) From the looks of skill, really nice chain effect that empowers him as a pirate. Also wondering about if it gives vision and time limit. TBA/10

R Cannon Barrage: I LOVE THIS ULT. First time used it, the sounds were bad-ass the visuals were bad-ass the damage, I CAN SEE IT, and the upgrades. OH the upgrades. Death's Daughter? really nice and really skill intensive, this will definitely lead to great Gangplank ults in future. Fire at will? I clear waves faster when needed and do more damage, I love it. New Raise Morale? It's just a Sivir comp. This might be the big one to get if team fights don't need a damage dealer, movement speed is king. 10/10

Overall: I love the new GP. I feel he could be toned down a bit on passive and still be viable. Phage passive with GP's passive gives so much chase that I can't wait until i mastered powder keg. Anyone who can get the boost and then relight the passive will be the Pirate king.

ONE LAST THING: WHY DON'T I USE MY GUN TO CRIT??? RITO PLZ

I would double check on whether or not his new Q applies crits or on hit effects. Crit plank wouldn't be as fearful if his Q didn't Crit. Similarly Triforce would be less effective.

Though I could see a Supportive Bruiser Build coming from him. Is his Ult still global? I forget.
