So Gangplank got nerfed... again.

So Gangplank is getting nerfed. Again... I mean, yeah he can take another nerf, he is still performing well. But... Come on, this is HUGE!

> Gangplank > Parrrley (Q) gold and silver serpents plundered now 4 at all ranks from 4/5/6/7/8 > > Powder Keg (E) > Now Stores 3 barrels max (up from 2 & 3/4/5 based on R rank) > Recharge cooldown changed to 20/18/16/14/12 from 18/17/16/15/14 > Cannon Barrage (R) : > Upgrades now cost 250 silver serpents down from 500. > No longer increases number of Powder Keg stored

So I get one barrel chain and I am out of barrels for 14 seconds (at max rank)? Are people litterally ignoring the fact that you can DENY GANGPLANK HIS BARRELS BY AA'ING THEM? That was the concept he was designed around, right? High counterplay High reward.. If I want a single reliable barrel chain, I need to put the first barrel over a wall or in a bush. WICH CAN BE OUTPLAYED BY VISION Aaand I need to use 1 or 2 extra barrels to do so.

> Inb4 yeah but his ult upgrades cost half the amount of Silver Serpents!!! > Yeah but it also takes him twice as long to get those Silver Serpents, nothing changed here.

I was prepared for more nerfs, and I decided I would keep playing Gangplank even after all the nerfs.... I said that assuming he would have the same playstyle...

There are a bunch of weak champions right now, but most of them still have their kit work the same fundamentally. Not being able to pump barrels at an acceptable speed is litterally changing his playstyle. To deal damage, he would need to get into the frontline and slap people with his passive for like 10 seconds until he has another chain. Being a hyper carry, this is not what he wants, needs or SHOULD do....

Azir got gutted but can still do the things he used to do, to give you an example.

I heard people like NB3 say they don't even think GP is worth a ban anymore, his strength is getting less and less with each nerf... (Well, obviously. But I mean to the point where you can notice it)

His synergy with Grasp and Bandit is a large part of what keeps him strong. Make it so these masteries treat his Q like a ranged attack and he's propably fine. Even if that means I can't use my deadman's / or hydra (if I were to get it) on Q

Take some of the gold regen on his Q Take some of the damage from his ultimate.

All of these can tone his power done by a lot without gutting him.

Thanks for reading, please help the pirates from extinction.

Best wishes, a Sad Gangplank player.
