Could Gangplank's Parrrley not get Ignored by Jax, Fiora, and especially Pantheon?

It's unfair to have Gangplank's only reliable "steriod" negated by these champions early game while they outscale you heavily. I remember back in Season 2 you could go tanky versus these champions and hopefully be relevant mid-game where teamfights begin to start but now it's literally impossible to be relevant unless the team is doing well in the other lanes. All of these champions now scale hard due to item and penetration changes.

If they were buying early armor to soft-counter then cool but they don't have to. All they need to do is buy some sort of Lifesteal item and they can all in anytime they want. Pantheon just throws spears until you just afk at fountain and leaves no way for you to trade with him/engage him because of Aegis. Fiora just waits till until she gets all three skills and just all ins and leaves you with no way to fight her since she negates your Parrrley making TF/Stattik Shiv(GP's core items) useless against her. And Jax.... Well fuck Jax!

Please consider changing Parrrley to not be blocked. If you do this change then going against these matchups with Gangplank won't be an instant loss.

Gangplank is a legit counter to so many top laners because he is a ranged champion and top laners are melee for the most part. It only seems reasonable that some of them can hard counter him. Don't pick him first or pick him in to those champions, use him to win better matchups for him. Or you could always ask for a lane swap with mid or bot.

...That's how autoattack blockers work. That's like complaining that Sivir or Nocturne counter Nunu hard. Parrrley is for all intents an autoattack. Those skills all block autoattacks. Seeing as your Parrrley should be up more than all of those (except maybe Pantheons), I don't see the problem.

Its almost like certain champions counter other champs. What next, remove Teemo's blind so Trynd can play against him? Take away Kassadin's ability to break channels so Katarina can catch a break? Might as well nerf Darius's Q, its not like he was meant to be an lane bully anyway.
