How many people are legit having problems vs a GP?

Like his barrel mechanic is one of the most balanced mechanics in the game with a TON of counterplay... why nerf that?

why nerf him over the dozens of other champs that need nerfing right now?

Because due to GP being played, you won't see Maokai or other LC$BIGPLAYZ flashyflashy champs in the Top Lane, and LCS are coming...

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic about his barrels. They chunk you for a third of your health in the laning phase, and two thirds of your health later on. If he hides it in a bush or chains them, you can't do anything.

He's balanced when he's not up against a melee, but he stomps melees who lack ranged abilities (like Sejuani) which makes those champions extremely frustrating to play.

Wut?

That is totally unrealistical.

Let's consider you have 600 armor and that GP really chunked you for 800 dmg.

600 armor = 86% physical damage reduction

To deal 800 dmg to you, that keg should have critted around 5700 base unreduced damage.

Stop talking bullshit.

Except the barrels ignore a huge amount of armor, making it something like 300 which can be further lowered by runes and items

Oh yeah, I miscalculated. I forgot the ArP from kegs in the calculation.

This time I'll take into account 6% ArP from masteries and let's say GP run 9 flat ArP reds and 3 Arp quints (don't try this at home kids) for a total of 19 flat ArP.

I'll even add a LW (35% ignore armor)

600 - 19 = 581

581 x 0.94 x 0.65 x 0.5 = 177 = 64% reduced damage

The keg should have critted around 2222 unreduced base damage. Still it is unrealistical, even at full glasscannon build.

Somebody never truly read the ability did they? The barrels themselves, not runes or masteries or items, have built in armor pen (50%).

Also when calculating pen, apply % pen first then flat pen.

you faced the wrong champ that's all. "huh i'm against an armor shredder why i'm taking so much damage when i'm a stacking armor champ"

It could have 120% armor pen and deal over 9000 damage and you know what? I still would not freaking care. Why? I have yet to ever die or be seriously injured from a dumb barrel.

I don't play, nor do I like or care about Gangplank in the slightst, but people complaining about the barrels are ridiculous. I think it deserves its power because it is soooooo situational
