Make AP gangplank great again

Salutations, this is the first time I have posted here on the forums so please forgive me/ notify me of any errors I make. This post is about Gangplank AP gangplank, it use to be a thing back when he had better Ap scaling and a monster when item 3285 allowed him to do whatever he wanted. But, in riot's attempts to balance the champ Gangplank 's Ap was (as far as I can tell) needlessly nerfed. I am of course referring to his W and ult. I suggest putting them back to their original(ish) places. Remove scurvy: 90% Ap scaling -> 100% AP scaling Gp's ult: 10% AP scaling -> 30% Ap scaling.

If anyone thinks this would be OP i can assure you it wouldn't, because he has to give up his barrels to make it useful.

Another idea is to allow item 3100 to apply on his barrels, which would make them useful on Ap gp instead of just an emergency escape that only works half the time. Also note there is no magic pen on the barrels, so this wouldn't be as devastating as AD/ crit Gangplank . Also note that we could make only part of the magic damage be transferred through barrels, in case it was to strong.

Finally, on a side note it would be nice if Raise Moral was actually useful for gp, right now in gives a short move speed bonus to allies and is relatively useless. It would be great if it gave friendly champs attack speed or something, or slowed champs in the ult even more.

Anyways thats all I have, I ask you to not focus on "why not build critplank?" or "Gp is strong as it is, he doesnt need any of this" we arent talking about reg gp, we are talking about AP gp, if it helps think of it as an entirely different champ. After a AP gp has nothing in common with the playstyle of an AD GP.

As one of his more famous "fun" builds, I think Lich applying onto E would be fine, the build is still vastly worse than the AD variant, but gives it a little nudge that isn't game breaking.
