Triforce changes are killing Gangplank

I am a sad pirate right now. These changes directly hurt GP. I have been put on tilt because now GPs build path is just directly weaker, no matter what item you get first. And now you have 20% less crit unless you add another crit item to your build. Attack speed is not the best thing on him except for in some matchups where it is ok for him to walk up and auto constantly.

It's not like a little buff love will help either. GP is just directly less satisfying all the way up until full build now.

GP is still what he always has been, a late game carry. The TF changes weakened his already fairly weak laning phase since you don't get sheen anymore, but it's not THAT bad. People are building different things, but personally I go Essence Reaver, Shiv, boots, IE, LW item (or something like ghostblade if they aren't that tanky), GA/Visage/Sterak's depending on the game.

This build gives you 70% crit and 40% cdr. You're less tanky and have less mana, but late game mana isn't that big of an issue anyway.

I agree, but people that don't play GP (or AD casters) often are going to disagree with you. They would rather get tower-dived by Irelia and Jax because the new Trinity has pushed them over the edge.

item 3057 should be added to item 3508 because build-pathing for AD casters, which was already wonky, has been made even worse by the Triforce change.
