Nerf AP Gangplank. Might as well be a bug.

Soo I just played solo que against AP Gangplank. He heals for 1k + and his oranges are QSS sooo what do you do about him? can't cc him he just qss, eats full hp. It's highly unbalanced and needs a nerf.

dont let him lane before he has 6 items. pretty easy.

You mean besides killing him a lot early because his damage is negligible for building AP?

If hes smart, get runeglaive or a better sheen item. Runeglaive gives you more sustain, for much less damage.

If GP gets 600AP he probably doesnt have cooldown, and once he pops his ult and his W he HAS to get out or else hes going to get blown up becaues hes squishy and does no damage outside of Q.

Don't waste CC on him.

Maybe I'm a little biased since I play Fiora , but I just don't see him being over powered in the least and I am unranked currently, so I get bronze/silver players in my games. High damage output fighter champions can put him down quickly or zone the smart players hard. If they have a gap closer, then that's an even harder lane for him to deal with.

A Riven should really not be having trouble against him as she does counter him well. I think she's one of his top 5 counters. If she lost the lane then that was probably her fault, and not Gangplank . Unless the jungler was camping her lane, but even then...I just don't see it happening to someone who knows what they're doing. I don't know why you would try to all-in a champion you know little about in the first place though, or keep doing that after he some how put you down.

Maybe you should learn a little bit more about champion matchups so you at least have a rough idea. You should probably do it before you post a nerf thread on the boards next time.

Give us a link to the match. aint no way in hell a riven had problems unless she was super behind and the GP was going bruiser.

Looked at the game.

How do you get first blooded by a GP with a Doran's Ring that doesn't have his ult? lol

you try and all-in him and over commit; GPs passive catches a lot of people off guard if youre not mobile or have previously burned your flash.

Riven is incredibly mobile and has really high early game damage, and can easily E GP's sole harass ability (not that she would need to, considering the Doran's Ring provides no damage to it).

The Riven was bad.

So terribly it would seem...
