You don't need minions to farm as Gangplank anymore.

Parrrley: "ACTIVE: Gangplank shoots the target enemy with his pistol, dealing physical damage and applying on-hit effects"

Bandit: "Gain 1 Gold for each nearby minion killed by allied champions. Gain an additional 3 Gold (or 10 Gold if you're melee) when hitting an enemy champion with a basic attack or a spell that applies on-hit effect (5 second cooldown)."

"basic attack or a spell that applies on-hit effects" on-hit effects "10 Gold if you're melee" 10 GOLD GOLD.

Spellthief's Edge: "UNIQUE – TRIBUTE: Spells and basic attacks against champions or buildings deal 10 additional damage and grant 8 Gold. This can occur up to 3 times every 30 seconds. Killing a minion disables this passive for 12 seconds."

"Spells and basic attacks" "grant 8 Gold" MONEY.

wow gp supp is a thing now

His old E was a AoE self & ally Stat Steroid. So he was classified as a Support due to that ONE ability.

Sire Hippington4 votes

he also worked as support, due to that one abillity+ult. now ult relies on farming and he has no more utillity, so support gp isn't that great anymore

Void Nargacuga1 votes

True about that on the Ult... =(

It still has global range though! XD

MetalGearTeemu1 votes

it was more the stats. Gangplank before his rework had the best overall starting stats in the game. He was exceptionally strong against melee supports, since grog soaked meant once they engaged they weren't getting out except via flash due to the slow.

Leo hooking to Plank was pretty much her committing Gorey Suicide and maybe baiting her adc to her death.

It was a thing before he got reworked. This is not new.

He's always been doable as a support, the item/mastery changes (more gold/min on both spellthief and bandit) with the preseason mean that he can now also have LOADSAMONAY while supporting.

Well then... That is a hilarious interaction you found! Bravo!

But you had no item 2049 so... =/

A mistake, I admit, but we managed to have p. good ward coverage nonetheless.

Void Nargacuga2 votes

Alright you owned up to a mistake. http://www.quickmeme.com/img/3f/3f2cfc83a52052abcde6b15743c432c3942395ca9b06c5f3c67063455c2c2572.jpg

Wish my team had that good of ward coverage in my last two games.

lol he could combine the frostfang+sightstone and still be slot efficient haha

Void Nargacuga1 votes

Wouldn't it be ridiculously slot efficient on him? I mean checkout dat item's stats!

item 2301 : Stats +200 health +150% base mana regeneration +25 ability power +2 gold per 10 seconds Passive Unique – Tribute: Your next damaging ability or autoattack against a champion or structure will deal 15 additional damage and grant 15 gold. You generate one charge of Tribute every 10 seconds, storing up to 3. Active Unique – Warding: Consumes a charge to place a Stealth Ward that reveals the surrounding area for 150 seconds. Holds up to 4 charges which refill upon visiting the shop.

86 assists to 18... close game lol

Sire Hippington2 votes

sadly, you don't get SS for item 3902 and co, else support gp would actually work great

Sumutherguy2 votes

it still works as a global aoe slow, you just wont murder people with it.

Sire Hippington2 votes

true, but old gp did slow AND murder with it as support

FastAsHeck2 votes

Rito messed up by removing the mana restore from his Q. Even as a top laner, it is better to shoot the enemy champion now.

Jolly Rogered1 votes

I would almost consider taking this top-lane. He is so freakin mana starved early game.

Sasogwa1 votes

Its a bit dumb cause there's no point in farming with Q anymore, you get more gold by lasthitting with AA and harassing with Q.

kJs1 votes

???

When you're in lane, you can lasthit creeps with Q for +4/5/6/7/8 gold or just harass opponent with Q for +10 gold and lasthit with AA's. It's not really that worth anymore to lasthit minions with Q, except if you setup a good barrel to farm all the wave at once, or your opponent is not in lane. Yeah, it gives silver serpents, but still...

3TWarrior1 votes

now the question becomes is it more efficient to just farm with his mastery and the spell thief line when it's up or a more typical build and focus minions

although, at 10 gold every 5 seconds, that effectively triples his gold income, XD

they need to lower the numbers on his ult or something so it's not such a worthless upgrade for the effort it requires

3TWarrior1 votes

the main problem is that with the mana cut, you can't farm gold efficiently as GP to have enough damage to one-shot the minion wave for farming purposes, so the 10 - 25 gold on hit of an enemy champion every few seconds can be efficient but hitting minions is efficient as well so who knows

Void Nargacuga1 votes

What about going with item 2303 instead of item 2301 ?

When you consider the item 2303:

Stats +500 health +100% base health regeneration +2 gold per 10 seconds Passive Unique – Spoils of War: Melee autoattacks execute minions below 400 health. Killing a minion by any means heals you and the nearest allied champion for 50 health and grants them kill gold. These effects require a nearby allied champion and consume a charge. Recharges every 30 seconds. Max 4 charges. Active Unique – Warding: Consumes a charge to place a Stealth Ward that reveals the surrounding area for 150 seconds. Holds up to 4 charges which refill upon visiting the shop.

This way you could still farm some Silver Serpents, albeit much slower then in a solo lane.

Does he get silver serpents though?

Dosh! Shoot it while it's hot, lads!

Also, does this interaction grant Silver Serpents, or just regular old Rift moneys?

Thiiiis is why my GP supp was useful.

Borbland1 votes

I play Brand mid with Spellthief, you may not activate it often, but when you do, its 24 free gold since the burning gives you money. Also, max upgrade gives wards and you can lasthit and farm from ennemies, then you end up like this: http://www.noelshack.com/2015-47-1447915354-money-2.jpg

Good luck collecting Silver Serpents for your Cannon Barrage upgrades...

Baron of Bread1 votes

Your Q also procs things as a melee attack, so it is easy farming for your item 3097. Then you also get your silver serpents and a stat that is more useful to you.

3TWarrior1 votes

and unlike the spell thief line, you can then procede to just pound your opponent every five seconds for free gold

but they're bound to figure this out and back off

Crossette1 votes

Pikmints1 votes

I've loved the idea of GP support for a while now, but I'm torn on the way the new GP works. Would it be better to get the Spellthief's items to utilize his harass potential better, or is getting Relic Shield so you can earn silver krakens in lane better? I imagine that going the Spellthief line would have made his ult pretty weak at all points in the game in exchange for the early strength.

Sumuther, able to share your thoughts?

Sumutherguy1 votes

If you hit every single relic shield execute (and upgrade it to targon's as soon as possible), you will get to upgrade your ult at about 30-40 minutes, by which point a single upgrade isn't gonna do a ton, and certainly wont be worth forgoing two-thirds of your income. The ult is not your killing power and never will be outside of an AP-Plank build, and while the Death's Daughter upgrade would make for a better slow, you can afford to get cdr or other forms of slowing with the gold you'd get from going for champion-hit money while being much stronger throughout the course of the game. GP scales with serpents, but he scales with items better.

Best Darius KR1 votes

This was always a thing. I don't see why this is news to anyone....

Sumutherguy1 votes

It's not new per se, just buffed recently to the point of high viability with increased income potential on both bandit and the spell-thief line.

I must try this with my GP main friend huehuehue
