Let's buff gangplank's counters, and GUT gangplank at the same time

Gangplank Parrrley (Q) cost increased from 40 at all ranks to 60/55/50/45/40

sounds like a very good plan indeed

Gut, really? I don't think so. Might be a playstyle switch from just spam Qing the opponents starting level 1, but I don't see it as a huge gut. He's still really safe with the barrels; can still proc klepto, still has his scaling, still has his movespeed boost.. Hardly a gut. Removing slows from his barrels or sthg like that would be a gut, but not that, imho.

Who are gangplank's counters anyway?

Pretty much all bruisers. I wonder why he's so strong right now

irelia renekton riven kled and almost all bruisers?

also if you don't know that gangplank able to cast Q a lot of time in lane is THE ONLY reason he's good then me posting here is pointless

Well don't you think a lategame champion like gp should be weak to early all-ins by those champions? Or does gangplank simply deserve to do fine in these matchups cause he's gangplank? In any case GP's pretty much one of the holy trinity of gnar camille and himself; seeing how it goes with those manacost changes to his pre-lvl 9 could be interesting, at least for one patch we could have gp not being godtier.

I'm actually curious how gp's would adapt, maybe going grasp instead?

you can go grasp or whatever you want it won't work if you can only cast Q 4 times in lane

actually those changes force him to pick kleptomancy even more

and gangplank being weak to those champions is not a thing right now SPECIALLY BECAUSE THOSE CHAMPIONS ARE WEAK and riot are buffing them

a bit higher mana costs until level 9 when it is the same as before. I bet gp will be unplayable

4 Q and you're oom at lvl 1

Oh no! A lategame champ will not have the best lane phase out of any top laner!

gangplank

a late game champion

my dear zed main gangplank is able to reach midgame so fast with bonus gold, he's totally shit in late game with 0 impact

gangplank win rate per minute shows this fact after 25 min he starts to fall off like a cliff

Yes, let hit get nerfed. He is completely uninteractive gameplay. He just spams q on you off cooldown while sitting on a barrel so you can't all in him.
