Can we get Gangplank's old E (Raise Morale) back?
While the barrel mechanic was fun for a while, it's pretty clear that virtually no one likes going against it and it just provides way too much power for his budget. Every nerf gangplank has received since his rework has been tied to his barrels in some way (too much base dmg, too much pen, still too much pen, too much burst for how tanky he is early on, too safe of a lane due to mana refunding on his q, and now apparently his passive is too strong because attacking your opponent with anything but barrels is frowned upon, but being rewarded for hitting someone with your barrels is frowned upon as well.
But Lee sin OHKO'ing an enemy adc by kicking a sion into them is just fine apparently.
Every nerf except for this current one has made at least some sense, gangplank doesn't usually build a ton of AD (Usually Triforce, IE, and maybe a BT (a whopping 165 AD) so that's an additional 198 damage over 1.5 seconds from your lvl 1 passive SO OPPRESSIVE.
What about his ex Illaoi and her tentacle mechanic? Chances are people will straight up refuse to avoid mechanics/combat them (similar to GP's barrels) complain about them being too oppressive and end up nerfing her until she's useless (poor rek'sai). People already complain about her e's duration of you fail to attack her, just fyi most tops have a grab/dash that spells instant death when you get caught like darius and riven for example (so you're actually out of commission for 60 seconds as opposed to just watching your step and AAing tentacles) and guess what, they are both countered by the same thing:
Ranged tops do rather well against Gangplank and Illaoi since they can often destroy the barrels/tentacle before they can be used. But instead of trying to counterpick people would rather just complain until riot nerf them so they can pick garen into illaoi and win with no problems.
