Gangplank rework skills

LordGeovanni··1 votes·749 views

I'm assuming that Gangplank's Q no longer procs meele on hit effects or else in the release video it would have proced his passive. Gangplanks new E barrel needs a delay press to activate or needs to activate any way when destroyed by an enemy. Gangplank is already Melee and we now have barrels to feed those ranged lane opponents who already have a safety and damage advantage being ranged. i propose Triple tapping E to auto activate barrel explosion (with 5 second delay from laying your last barrel) or that barrel must have considerable range and damage to compensate not to mention you have to fight to hit the barrel last or it wont activate allies cant activate it. or maybe if Gangplank hit the barrel in the last 3 seconds who no matter who destroys it the barrel will still proc. i dont see much fight use for that barrel which is sure to have high cool down mana cost or both

It procs everything except his passive

I have tested him and it works on hydra, triforce and shiv.

I haven't tested the barrels yet as they are bugged atm, but if it uses no mana and it will become awsome wave clear.

Strategy.

Range > strategy. Try fighting a sniper with a blunderbuss. Sniper is on a roof top ten blocks away while youre looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.

I think you're playing the wrong game here. This is league, not Call of Duty. Use strategy. Place the barrels strategically. Have a team member shut down that sniper. Use your brain, is what I'm getting at.

Youre talking like theres no ranged > melee disparity. Its nice that GP has actual CC now, but its waaay to niche to be actually useful.

I think making the barrels permanent, or activatable via E while barrels are on cooldown, would be good. When a barrel is destroyed, it deals 50% base damage but stays around until detonated (and no longer grants vision, if it did in the first place). As it is, from what ive seen, its a good concept but bad in execution. Unless the ability does a metric frag ton of damage...

From the animation point of view if he is ever in range he can easily throw the barrel and activate it as it is fast and he has an ammo system. Actually just throwing it out will fuck up an adcs attack move and give him a sheen proc.

<not to mention it reprocs his passive

true enough. I cant actually play him until the PBE servers lighten up and i can play bot customs...

I think they might be trying to consolidate and focus his strengths. I'm not sure, but I think he still can Critically strike with his Q.

Then Again, it is getting a new utility that allows him to upgrade his ult. And I think it works on procing his Barrels. So it's possible that his Parley is being focused more as a utility tool rather than a core part of his DPS.

It doesnt because his passive is only for his sword because of balance. He can proc pretty much anything else.

right.

There is a mechanic to his ult. Q farming is now really rewarding

Death’s Daughter fires an initial mega-cannonball in the center of the area of effect. Raise Morale gives allies within the area of effect additional move speed. Fire at Will increases the rate of fire over the duration of Cannon Barrage.

All of these buffs stack and they each cost 500 Silver.

You get silver from Parrley farming.
