so...how much hp will gangplank's barrels have

3TWarrior·Jul 7, 2015·2 votes·824 views

reason i'm asking this, Riot specifically states that this new mechanic was made to make the fight as interesting for the opponents as it is for gangplank.

well, here comes the problem, Gangplank's barrels will make it where the opponent specifically has to focus them, otherwise, gangplank's damage will eventually outweigh the barrel's health pool

however, here comes the bad part

if the barrels have a high hp pool, he will not be able to detonate them properly in a team fight

but when gangplank can do in excess of 1000 damage on a Q without full items...what do you do?

I watched the video and it makes sense to have a 3 hp bar that decreases, but i'm sure we're going to see some sort of problems with them soon

lol, place em in a bush (new rule, don't chase gangplank), suddenly enemy hp blows up instantly in a cloud of cannon fire and powder keg explosions

pretty much that, it´s more or less a pure bait/trap-spell the way it works (which is sort of piraty, but not very interactive for the counterpart - pretty much like powder-filled-teemo-shrooms).

except they can do a quite large amount from the start (compared to teemo having to build) and grant gold if an enemy defuses them and probably count as a minion for nasus/etc

they're also not an ult XD

oh, here's a funny other reference, if Gragas barrels explode just from fizz and can knockback

explosives: regular damage XD
