Let Gangplank be a 10/10 example

Of how in a state over the past 2 years where mobility reigns supreme we have a champ whos only escape is a speed boost, be a highly contested in solo que and lcs. Great job on riot behalf of making him a example of another amazing rework in the past year (sion rework 10/10 too) rework done right and shifting power elsewhere in a kit without mobility.

So a speed boost isn't mobility? Are you telling me Udyr has no mobility?

THESE are champions with no mobility: Ashe Varus Zyra Brand etc.

If speed boosts didn't matter, people wouldn't QQ so hard over Ahri's Q movespeed boost.

only reason people are picking him is because he literally makes your armor be completely pointless, that's not "rework done well" that's "let's put so much power into this skill it can delete anyone"

And now he needs a nerf because his Critplank barrels are too strong XD

Have you forgotten the common picks of Viktor Orianna Thresh Olaf Rumble Ashe Janna Jinx KogMaw Varus Maokai Nautilus Ryze ?

GP is broken as fuck and getting nerfed soon... what are you even saying? True damage is a horrible mechanic

Yeah but: Sona's I give it a 4/10, to Veigar a 5/10, Cassiopeia a 4/10, Kassadin 4/10... and the morde 3/10. Like really, many of the playerbase are displeased.

How is that a good rework? He is incredibly strong in lane and can zone 80% of all toplaners from farm with his barrels. Already has nerfs on PBE.

I like how they managed to make 2 not so mobile champs be viable in competitive play. Unfortunately, here comes the string of gangplank nerfs

Yeah I also find him pretty balanced. Ive had like a 50/50 chance against him. And ill also agree Sion is pretty balanced too.

he appeared in lcs ? that explains the nerfs on pbe ... riot will always deny but they always do it
