^Title. They would be very much appreciated (I feel no need to mention how long it took me to figure out how to farm with barrels+Q),

Honestly, between Item changes and Nerfs, GP's actually struggling in the current meta.

The Triforce removal of Crit was a huge downgrade for him, his barrels have taken a lot of nerfs in a row, and he's highly farm-dependant for SS stacks

Gp is cool cuz he has multiple viable builds. Bankplank critplank, tankplank you name it.

Play around figure out your favorite build :) try max w into a pirate visage ( thsts the Korean build) for infinite lane sustain. Try building pure AD items like ie,pd. Try Triforce into tank, try maxing e.

Have fun experimenting, I think once you find the build you enjoy most you'll get the most out of gp. He is super versatile and fun . Gl !

I used to main gp when I first Started playing, pre rework. Lemme know if you had any specific question about him .

You gotta know the barrel timings at all levels, as well as the travel time of q at varying distances. That's the MOST IMPORTANT part of playing GP effectively.

Afterwards I'd suggest practicing the 3 barrel combo (which I still can't get right most of the time) once you feel about 85% comfortable with those.

I'm not a GP main, but I play him quite a bit on and off so I know a few things.

Try Supportplank sometime. It took a hit with the Rework, but it's still viable against people who are vulnerable to poking.

item 3401 to start, as your Q shares the gold, and procs it's own Gold buff, item 3158, item 3022, item 3742, item 3065, item 3025. It's like Tankplank, but less aggro until endgame.

You need to do everything in your power learn barrel mechanics, and also be aware of your Q missile speed. Get those 2 skills down and you're golden.

ok so i play him as tank plank right now

critplank was always fun but how on earth do yoiu even do this anymore since crit got removed from triforce

so yea tank plank

this is my build item 3748 passive and active work on barrels yay! arrr load the hull buster! ( just activate titanic) shoot barrel deal crit level damage item 3025 slows just more slows, and mana need more mana, and cdr need more cdr and armor need more armor, and damage need mroe damage, oh and the slowfield gets the size of your barrle explosion radius(really big) if you hit a barrel with parrrrrrrrrrrley item 3068 Just more aoe damage, look i have titanic and iceborn and this thast a crapton of aoe damage alongside the barrels and ult so you can't be ignored people will have to dal with you and this item again makes you more tanky item 3065 works with your heal gives mr boosts regen item 3047 just these you already got a cleanse this reduces no skill damage by 12%

last item is situational but if you want to be a real dick buy item 3151 gives more aoe damage boosts heal gives some hp, the best part though, your ult now reckt teamfights you opponents can no longer fight in it.

for masteries, i take 12/0/18 strenght of ages for more hp legendary guardian for extra defense cos already have oranges, more sustain and bonus resists take some dmg masteries to boost my damage a bit thats it.

Your generally a big nuisance in lane and fights, all you do is push with abrrels and poke your enemy with parrrley keep em stuck in lane and provide air support to your allies

in fights your aoe damage is so big that nobody can ignore you but your a tank with a cleanse heal so goodluck dealing with that also if you did buy liandries you now win every teamfight good for you

also dont forget to steal kills with your ult like a true pirate

this build doesnt require perfect barrel mechanics to be usefull like carry plank although it will help you dish out more punishment but you will be fine even without them as you can just point and click parrrly slow their carries all day ult them and bash theri face in with regular auto's, hitting your barrels is nice but you can also just use them to reset your passive for speed and true damage rather then relying on hitting your 3 barrel backline onshot crit

Never tried that. Didnt know it worked.

yea it does with the active no more rng uber barrel just on demand backline busting

anyway im having a blast when playing tank plank

well your not as tanky as an actual tank with a true tank build but still very hard to kill and still pack a punch

just keep resetting your passive for piles of free true damage, this is normally not feasible with full damage plank because standing and fighting will get you killed because your squishy so you want to kite with barrels and parrley only go in for kills

now you go in with aoe physical and magic damage aswell as true damage from your passive and ult's big cannonball

you can stay abit longer and apply passive twice before you move out abit then reset a barrel parly slow and go in hit with passive reset barrel hit with passive and move out of the way

you deal pretty much tribrid damage with free armorpen most of it in aoe too so its difficult to itemize against aswell
