Someone here has to know something... How does this guy build? What kind of stuff do you play him into? Any rune pages you find work better than klepto with sorcery? Please help me understand this guy... He's very hard to play.

SuicidePlank2 votesI recommend our subreddit.
Or that one.
Caretaker Jack2 votesThank you, I found this VERY helpful... I had to thank you formally.
Elite4Runner2 votesI'm not a Gangplank (GP) player, ... but to my knowledge the biggest strength that he offers his team is his ability to split push and still provide assistance to his team with his global ultimate.
From what I have seen, he basically just plays cat and mouse, forcing his lane opponent to babysit him, not allowing them to make plays with their team.
You either focus more on damage like an ADC, shoving waves in as soon as the enemy leaves, or you focus on being a bruiser that can't be forced out of lane.
Again though, you MUST keep an eye out for the best use of your ultimate to help your team across the map.
If you get ahead, the enemy will need to deal with you, which takes pressure off of your teammates elsewhere.
If you are behind, you should still be able to at least hold a lane that is the least priority.
SuicidePlank1 votesIf you are behind, you should still be able to at least hold a lane that is the least priority.
You will never be able to hold a lane if you are behind. Not if the enemy toplaner (and eventually jungler) has more than 2 IQ and wants some free kills.
Elite4Runner1 votesAnd yet, if the enemy top laner and / or jungler are spending time trying to kill you, they are not able to apply pressure in parts of the map that are a higher priority.
Please try and address my post as a whole instead of trying to take a single sentence out of context.
Caretaker Jack2 votesI found this really helpful. Thanks!
Dr Dog1 votesgrasp for harder lanes, klepto for easier ones
on gp you rush sheen for the poke 100% of the time, build it into trinity and situational boots, stormrazor next for the guaranteed crit on your barrel combos, getting a ghostblade after is always a solid option if your ahead but stereks is likely gonna be your item after razor and the rest is kinda situational

You go GB before Stormrazor.
Elite4Runner1 votesIdk, the few times I played GP last year, Stormrazor felt VERY good early because it helped with farming A LOT. Grabbing it early should help to afford a more expensive item like Gunblade.

You oneshot caster with Trinity, you do realize that? If you can't properly farm melees with TF and afterwards, GP is the wrong champ for you, he is all about farm and gold.

And in which situation do you ever want to buy Gunblade on Gangplank?

I meant Ghostblade, I apologize.
Regardless, .. you do see the part where I said I only played him a few times last year, right?

I do see that, ye, so I am wondering why you talk about a subject you know so little about. :)
Elite4Runner1 votesBecause my comment is still completely valid. Rushing a Stormrazor (as it is now, since it is getting reworked) really helps with his ability to farm and it is cheaper than Trinity Force. If you have other means of dealing with his mana issues like Manaflow Band, Sorc Pot, Klepto, Biscuit Delivery, Teleport, .. even Clarity (not that I'm suggesting to take Clarity) .. Having the ability to accumulate more gold sooner, makes his power scale up sooner.

You don't get Sheen, which is Gangplank, no CDR, which you need a lot, no fighting potential cuz Stormrazor sucks as first item on Gangplank, no attackspeed for duels or to set up Barrels faster, nothing except a shitty crit. Why again should SR be better as first item than TF?
Elite4Runner1 votesI feel that I gave the answers to your question in the last comment.
Stormrazor is almost 1000 gold cheaper than Trinity Force.
So by the time you can afford Trinity Force, you are only 117 gold short of being able to afford BOTH Stormrazor and Sheen.
You also keep responding to me like I'm trying to suggest that rushing Stormrazor is 100% better than rushing Trinity Force. .. I'm definitely not trying to make that claim. .. but I don't see it as a bad decision.

It is never. No Item is worth going before Trinity on Gangplank, but gz, you are now another meme on the GP Reddit.
Elite4Runner1 votesWhat a sad existence, to care what people think on a 'Reddit' dedicated to a League of Legends character.

SamaHamra1 votesYou know there are dedicated websites for this type of stuff, right?
Inkling Commando1 votesall i know is you always get 
first. no questions. and max Q out early with Barrels close behind so you can clean minion clusters early for lots of Silver Serpents for 
and 
(
is kinda useless) his W is a free heal and 
with less cooldown.

all i know is you always get
"Fire at will is useless."
Can you stop talking if you have no clue?
Inkling Commando1 votesi got a better idea. can you not tell me what to do? if you don't like my advice you can stay quiet. nobody wants to hear you whine. and that power is Raise Morale, not Fire at Will. actually read it next time.
