GangPlank rework

Gp has to be the most late game champ in the game right now. He doesn't become an issue till maybe level 14 or 15 when the barrel count down is instant.

The barrels give amazing burst but that's be honest, that's if you can actually hit the guy you're laning with. I've never had to play so defensive on a champ in my life. Like ever. One missed barrel and you are sleeping with the fishes.

Personally I think trail by fire should instantly blow his barrel. Instead of having the barrel just relight his sword and all that jazz.

It's just a real issue. I'm just saying he is absolutely defenseless if he is rushed in anyway. Once you have no barrels on the field you don't stand a chance.

(Of course this is personal opinion, I just feel like he is far too defenseless early game)

didn't nothing really change with GP except now he has barrels? I haven't played him much before and after, but I know there's been times when I overplayed to a change and accidently forego some other strategy I used to be good at, but now just forget to play by.

IDK.

I'm sure you know better than me since I've never played him, but I thought it was more or less the same GP as before.

it's kinda like the ryze change. .the play is mostly the same, just, that some timing etc is a little different, and it takes a bit to get used to.

The barrels themselves do really good damage, I'll admit. But anyone with half a brain will know, not to stand there when it's about to go off. The radius for them is way to small. People constantly walk out before you can blow it up.

You can chain the explosion from another barrel to another. Which works if you put one in the bush then chain one you place on an enemy. But there is a delay so again, they can walk right out of the barrel explosion.

If old GP and new GP were to fight, old GP would murder him. He is far more mobile. His Q actually does much much better damage. (His Q pretty much does as much as Jayce's Q early game). I'm just saying. You are literally forced to play defensive
