Gangplank Tips

Oh Me So Ornny·Apr 11, 2016·2 votes·652 views

Hello, I recently have decided that I think I want to main GP. I am looking for tips on teamfighting. My main issue is I dont know if i should go after the carries or the front line while playing gp(i play 100% crit gp w/ no defenses) I have about 25 to 50 or so games on him so i know the basics.) I just feel like hitting the tanks and bruisers with my barrel combo barley does any dmg to them(even with the armor shred the barrel gives). any advice?

I usually try to poke a bit with the barrel b4 the fight starts and then when it does I will barrel whomever i can safely. then after the initial barrel I will usually go in melee or drop my last 1 barrel left on whoever i can hit then go melee

my build is Triforce...IE...Static shiv,,,PD then usually the last wisper thing oh and CDR boots

Get Triforce before trying to team fight, split push and get gold. You can use your ult to assist ganks to affect the map. I avoid teamfighting until a minimum of level 7 for level 2 barrel cooldowns but optimal is level 13 when you have the fastest barrel activation speeds.

IF you are grouping now around objectives, try and hide a barrel in a bush or out of view and slap down the 2nd down on your target and instantly Q your hidden barrel to blow them before they can dodge or kill your 2nd barrel.

Whenever I am grouped I try to whittle down the front line with the Armor ignore of the barrels and once they are low enough and we are fighting use the chaos to get barrels down onto the carries and pop them from the map.

Im not exactly a GP main but I do pretty well with him win or lose.

My Standard build path is:

item 2033 item 1083 item 3057 item 3009 item 3044 item 3078 item 3133 until your core is item 1308 item 3508

From here you can play around with these. My end build is typically: item 1308 item 3078 item 3508 item 3031 item 3072 item 3026

As a Gangplank main, a problem I see is not enough CDR. Try rushing item 3078 for obvious reasons and item 3031 for larger crits. However, instead of getting item 3087 , get item 3508 , as you cap off your CDR this way. Then, I usually go for a item 3086 item. As for boots, I go for swifties, merc treads, or ninja tabbi. This gets you 10% less crit chance, but much more CDR, which should equate to more damage. In teamfights, I usually try to get the squishies with my barrels, and chase them down with a few crit-loaded parrrleys. When I'm facing tanks, I usually try to hit them with my barrels, use the bonus move speed to hit them with my passive, put down another barrel, and repeat the process.
