Gangplank is under a 50% win rate... Perhaps it's time to buff him?

As the title says...

Gangplank is currently sitting at a 48%-49% win rate: http://na.op.gg/champion/gangplank/statistics/top https://champion.gg/champion/Gangplank/Top?


Range increased from 125 to 200

Base mana increased from 282-952 to 500-840

Q: Parrrley

Mana costs decreased from 60/55/50/45/40 to 1 all ranks

E: Powder Keg

Mana costs added- 20 all ranks

R: Cannon Barrage

Damage increased from 35/60/85 to 50/75/100


Reasons:

-By buffing Gangplank's range to 200 will allow him to be much more safer.

-By buffing his base mana to 500 will allow Gangplank to not go oom after using a single ability in the early game... But at however the cost of a lower mana pool late game.

-By decreasing Parrrley's mana cost to only costing 1 will allow Gangplank to infinitely poke enemies down and stack item 3070 if he chooses... With however at the cost of a mana cost to his barrels.

-After since the removal of Thunderlords, Cannon Barrage deals little to no damage, so it could use some compensation buffs to its damage.

this... 48-49% is fine

46 and below or 53+... is NOT if all other factors remains equal

i listed most other factors here

https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/viiH2I6s-my-problem-with-mordekaiser?comment=00010000000100010001

for example... if he was 45% in bronze but 52% in diamond... that would be a issue requiring changes

but 48-49% in every elo is not

47% generally means they need buffs but very slight ones 48% CAN use buffs, if they arn't oppressive but i don't trust riot to do them without breaking it.

I'd argue that 52% is a bit too strong; 48-51 is ideal

it depends honestly

52 in every elo is likely too strong

but some champs are OP at 48% and some champ can we "weak" at 51%

like i posted earlier there are a bunch of variables, but in general i would have to agree 48% is more balanced than 52%

He's got a summoner 1 in his kit with heal with MS which is quite safe. He doesn't go OOM after an ability, he goes OOM if you abuse his abilities in lane Why would you give free poke to him??? I like the "If he chooses to" like who wouldn't abuse a free poking ability that does insane crit dmg?? You don't even nerf CD/dmg... let's be serious. Any champ could use some more dmg... He just doesn't need it.

When you see this OP. Don't take him as serious poster, he makes these threads a few times a week for fun. It belongs in meme and games really. If you take a brief moment to check his post history its really clear.

Every time it opens with " as the title says" and then their Win rate % followed by a List of buffs that push a champion into OP.

That, to me, is what I think is the mindset of people like the creator of this post.
