New GP is awful

mjsierra··1 votes·1,437 views

He's just like old GP just more awful and less damage. Chaining barrels is not even worth the forethought required. Congratulations, you do an auto attack's worth of damage in a AOE. Or just get a hydra and heal yourself for it. Only thing it's good for is farming Parrrley, and still not worth losing Raise Morale for this shitty spell.

Are you kidding me? Later on, his barrels do 75% of the enemy's health with a massive slow. He can farm up almost 2000 gold with his Q and E.

That and resetting his passive, which deals true damage and gives him movement speed.

One thing I wish they did though was make his Q apply his passive.

By 75% of the enemy's HP, I meant that it does that much damage. Not that it literally says it does 75% of their hp.

3/4ths of their health vanished. Is that easier for you to understand?

Who is "they", and when did all champs have their health points and defensive traits homogenized? Sure you playing the same game? And gl getting to a point where you can do that to anyone without getting shit on yourself because you're squishy and your barrels are predictable as fuck.

He's saying on average, people will lose 75% of their hp lategame to a barrel going off (which is true, they deal the damage of the attack that triggered them (which means they can crit; because Parrley can); ignore 60% of your armor, AND deal 200 bonus physical damage).

If he catches you with a powder keg, you will probably lose a huge chunk of your health.

It also gives him pretty great waveclear, allows him to easily plunder tons of gold and a good amount of silver serpents too (which would be fantastic if his ult wasn't glitched right now rendering it impossible to upgrade).

For reference, if you have an Avarice Blade; by level 9 killing an entire minion wave with a Parrley'd powder keg will give you 60 ~ 70 gold, which is huge.

You can upgrade his ult, you just can't do it through recommended. Go into all items and you can purchase the upgrades c:

Not to mention he is inescapable, he will just spam barrels and break them for a speed boost.

His passive has RIDICULOUS true damage, which scales with 125% of his bonus AD. Parrley does the same damage it did before, and farms better. His W is X+15% of missing health, which is retarded, and his E amplifies the damage of any attack done to it. Including a 1200 damage Parrley. That with SS makes it do near 1600 at full build. Pretty fucking ridiculous. If you farm his ult and get all 3 upgrades then you absolutely murder people, there's even an upgrade for a second true damage nuke.

LOL Are you kidding me? The new GP is so amazing.. I HATED GP before.. I absolutely love him now. The barrels are amazing too, you can use then to zone or vision and they do alloot of dmg.. Takes a bit of skill and getting used to to, but once you do.. oooo weeee. I go GP mid because he doesnt have escapes and I feel hes really vulnerable to ganks. You can upgrade his ulti.. His passive is better.. Almost everything about him is changed. TOp 10 favs already. Gj Riot!
