Gangplank player should be banned if uses last hit barrel method.

AL000··3 votes·10,612 views

for example...

  • gangplank plant barrel at last time and you have no time to react to get out.
  • last hit always favor to gangplank plus got bomb by the barrel at same time.

that method should be illegal due to no reaction and unfairness zone.

Here is the youtube what I meant.

hmm the barrels do physical damage and crit

get armor to reduce damage taken, play champs that can gap close on him and punish him

if you cant figure this shit out maybe you should be banned for beign bad

If you knew how difficult that move is to pull off, you wouldn't be complaining about it. Much less asking for GP players to banned over it.

Next.

this is such a lie... it's easy than you thought. How hard is it to spawn the barrel after hit first one? the last barrel was like invisible barrel that is not even spawn yet.

He's talking about the 3 part combo where you drop the 3rd after you've detonated the first.

lol i practiced that shit for 30 minutes straight one day, went into a game, still couldn't do it reliably.

I get you man. It's literally the only thing I still can't do on GP and i've played him more than any other champion. There are pros who can't even do it that well

So he outplayed you and now you want gp players banned? Your salt level is equal to that of the dead sea.

Ban people for using a core mechanic in their champion's kit? sure

let's ban Lee Sin for using Flash to knock enemy champions into his team

let's ban Darius for insta-procing max Hemorrhage for an instant ult

let's ban Azir for Shurima Shuffle

Lee's flash = once ever 300 sec... player can react it. The invisible barrel doesnt. Darius needs to do 5 times to do ult... it's avoidable Azir = no clue?

I think it's better to ban you for not useful post.

GP placed a 2nd barrel. Hmmm, gp just shot the first barrel while im not even close to the 2nd barrel, WHAT O WHAT MIGHT HE DO? "He's probably bad, lets walk closer", WTF WTF HE JUST PLACED A 3RD BARREL WTF HAX BAN RIOT 420 OMEGALUL MOUNTAIN DEW.

Oh yeah, you can "react" to a lee R+flash(behind), you react by guessing, like this: "Will he R flash me? Maybe.. i guess i flash at the same time as he gets close for kick, oh wait he didn't flash... flash cd: 300 sec.

I agree on 1 point, the 3 barrel combo is not hard, at all actually. Also really easy to >PREDICT<. The 2 part combo, is, well, pretty hard to do consistently (like tobias fate for example). And for the other idiots like yourself, i'll give a brief explaination on how its done.

  1. Get level 13 (not mandatory but adviceable)
  2. Place 1 barrel
  3. Walk OUT OF Q RANGE. Hold your mouse on Q, see that little circle? You better be SURE it does NOT overlap with the CLICKABLE barrel, the further away you are, the "easier" it is, but also easier to PREDICT for the enemy.
  4. While OUT OF Q RANGE, press Q on barrel, and position your mouse aprox. around the area you want the 2nd barrel.
  5. The INSTANT the bullet leaves the gun you press E to place the barrel. You have about 0.3-0.4 seconds to hit E.

Repeat this process about 30-50 times until land your first combo in practice mode. Make that another 200 to actually do this in a fight. But Cloney Stark, this seems so easy to do, you might say? Well derpling, people MOVE. You 0.3-0.4 seconds to adjust your mouse position. Do you UNDERSTAND how LITTLE time 0.3 seconds is?

What does that mean? You need to know HOW people move in general, you need to know WHERE to place the first barrel to give yourself ENOUGH space and TIME to do the combo while WATCHING the other players MOVEMENT: You CANNOT stare at your barrel.

F*cking easy, ban all GP mains. Also, go play an MMO or something, league aint your thing.

How about riot remove the root from an ability that was never intended to have one.

let's ban Darius for insta-procing max Hemorrhage for an instant ult

You need to explain what you mean better. Are we talking about his ult cooldown or the Hemorrhage passive?

let's ban Azir for Shurima Shuffle

People still play azir?

let's bAN ALL THE THINGS

At this point, it might actually be beneficial to ban spaghetti code.

If you don't have an actual mental disorder, that move is the easiest and most obvious thing in the game to dodge. Plus, GP's entire kit gives him incentive to land them perfectly, and punishes him if he doesn't. If he killed the barrel with a Q, he generates the bonus gold from the Q and the Silver Serpents (which his Q gives him for killing things with it; it's used for upgrading his ultimate) for everything the barrel kills. The barrel also gets 40% armor penetration and will crit if the auto (or Q) that popped it crits. It also spreads Tri Force damage all over its range.

Here's a few tips for playing VS a GP:

1: Pick someone ranged or mobile. Someone who can jump on him or someone who can farm from far enough away from their own minions to force him to pick one: a potential hit on you, or a guaranteed hit on the wave.

2: Watch any barrels you can see. They tick down from 3 health to 1 over the course of a few seconds and, if you can time it right, you can actually kill the barrels as they tick down. If he places one too far away from you for you to kill it, don't stop moving. Miss CS if you have to, but keep moving from side to side until either you get in on that barrel and kill it or it's gone.

3: Watch Gangplank. One common lane tactic for him is to put barrels in brush, let them tick down, and then surprise his opponent with a double or triple barrel combo. However, when he places the barrel, an animation triggers. If you see the animation, you can usually guess which bush he put it in and position yourself away from it enough that he either has to run at you (which is super obvious and you can just walk away) or that he straight out can't reach you with the barrels.

I'd like to propose Warwick's ultimate as being easier to dodge than GP's barrel combo.

Can I get a second?

Will admit that the super tiny hitbox on it is annoying, but it's still a giant dash that you can't see coming 2-3 seconds before it happens in lane.

SzGamer2271 votes

If you see him running straight at you though, you can be ~96% sure he'g going to ult you at his first opportunity, so if you have Flash or any form of mobility on your champ you can be ready before he even comes in range. if you time it right you can also just sidestep it. XD

True, and that's what I was saying with the tiny hitbox. I play WW and it's near impossible to hit if you don't surprise buttsex them from the side with it. However, GP barrels in lane either he hits it twice to get it down to 1 HP (which is beyond obvious and you can walk away in the meantime) or he places it down and leaves it for a while (in which case it'll take 2 full seconds for it to be ready so you again just walk away). You have to either not be paying attention (doin it wrong) or literally have a learning disability to get hit by them until the ability is maxed and they tick down so much faster.

So you want to punish people are timing the barrel explosion correctly?

I don't see you asking to help his horrendous laning phase.

While you're at it, you mine as well ask that any player who does any form of animation cancelling be banned too.

Let's not forget that the opposing play can also, at the same time, predict it early too and destroy it.

nice hidden mechanic i didnt even think of this. This should NOT be bannable cuz its all skill, when was the last time you saw a GP pull that kinda stuff off and the timing has to be perfect.

If you are so worried about it use my rule of the game, if you think its op play it, master it and rank up quick before it gets nerfed ;) Good luck and have fun

That's why people love to abuse and cheat to climb up the ladder until it got useless.

It's actually fairly easy to pull the combo off if you got 2 barrels down. I can do that combo consistently even as a noob GP.

1 barrel into a QE combo is sick AF and with my ping pretty much impossible for me.

Kai Guy2 votes

Play him in bots or practice a few times so that you get a feel for how far he can drop a barrel and its aoe. Then bait him to drop them or destroy one that's low hp to break the chain.

This Is Your Dad2 votes

Wow, I'm actually impressed. I might try this sometime in training. And no, they don't need to be banned, just dodge the projectile where you think he'll shoot it, if you see a barrel or two stay out of the radius of his potential barrel combo.

if you think that's a bannable offense try playing gp and learning him. it's retarded how many times people just kill the barrels or you mistime them and end up not popping it. the only real problem is rank 5 barrels where they tick down super fast
