Tired of having to chose between getting zoned away from my minions or eating massive barrel damage as melee, I'm tired of getting outscaled even when I keep up in CS because free gold. I'm tired of his ult securing double kills on my bot lane while the dude himself isn't even present, I'm tired of not seeing any meaningful way to definately beat this champ. How do I stomp this tilt inducing bastard into the ground? Some advice would be golden.
My Waifu Vanilla2 votesPick an early game bully since GP is pretty garbage until level 9 and Trinity Force. If he pokes you with Q or last hit with it/use passive, go in on him and he will NOT be able to fight back. Barrels cannot be used reliably in trades until level 13 where they count down at its fastest and causing him to use W at all in lane makes any trade a fairly good trade since he does not have the mana to spam Qs early on, let alone W.

I hate ranged top cancer, why should I have to go that route to win my lane? What it my team badly needs a tank/innititor, counterpick gangplank just to lose the game?

LostFr0st1 votesGet used to timing his barrels and clip them just before they reach one or at least before the Q reaches it. It'll put the GP on tilt and the the barrels in turn will be easier to time.

I've never seen a GP go on tilt from that. What's it to him if they miss, after his second back he's literally no resource.
LostFr0st1 votesHaha I've pissed off many a GP from that XD You nick the barrel as his Q is
flying through the air.
If they miss that means waiting for Q cd or losing out on Silver Serpents.
You'd be surprised how much it sets him back.

He does indeed. Might as well buy him, that's how it goes nowadays, meta champs are meta for a reason.
Anraton1 votesAbout barrels .. it is a minigame ... who's faster .. gp placing the barrels your cleaning them .. as melee it can be hard yes ... but ceep in mind that he replenishes 1 barrel every 18 secs at skill lvl 1 and reducing to 10 sec at skill level 5 ... so if you are fast enough with cleaning .. he'll be out of barrels easy

That requires missplay on his part, decent gangplanks will never miss them because he always has the option to parley them from range. To make matters worse, failing to clear it yourself can be death sentance since he get's massive movement speed while slowing you down ontop of the semi-retarded damage. I hate having to make risky plays to get an edge that's just not fair. There is no downside to him to spam barrels and be an oppressive dick, I really think the damage and unility barrels bring to the game should reflect in it's mana cost.

I see, not really a good suggestion tho since he's permantly banned.
