Gangplank

Taking a look at Gangplank's kit, he could be considered one of the worst champions in the game.

I don't know if it's just me, but every gangplank I play with seems to have a Hidden-Yasuo-Passive.

He crits WAY more than normal.

GP Usually rushes a Sheen and Statikk Shiv, which gives 20% crit and his Q applies sheen.

Whenever he gets ganked, he just Crits a Q and 3 Autoattacks in a row then runs away.

He has his 20% crit from Shiv, but he crits 80% of the time anyway.

His Crits also seem to do a LOT more than any adc for some reason. If you think about it, you could just put like Caitlyn top and rush shiv and it would basically just be a better gangplank (IN LANE) But it doesn't work that way for some reason.

Gangplank's Q Does about half your health mid game, a LOT more than a Crit AA Boosted by passive from caitlyn, or any other melee carry (Yi, Fiora, Trynd, Yasuo)

Are Gangplank players just extremely lucky, or does his Q have some Super insane Crit-Ratio, or does this only occur to me?

A Q hits for 120 base damage + (base + bonus, let's say 150) AD + 100 magic damage from Statikk + 100~ damage from Sheen (or 160~ from Trinity, which I build before Statikk).

This makes a level 8-9 Q dealing: 470 mixed damage when not critting and 820 when critting.

Late game (if you have Statikk / IE / Trinity / Last Whisper) it should deal: 120 + 330 + 100 + 200 = 750 dmg when not critting and 1575 dmg when critting.

Obviously resistances shut down most of this damage. Anyhow I don't find his crits to be more frequent than they should. I think, instead, that even at 55 % his crit-chance is too low and I often find myself not critting in dire cirucumstances.

I just want to point out that if he attacking with his Q, or just hit his E, this damage is nearly doubled from trinity force, this is probably where the tons of damage you're seeing is coming from

Only occur to you, 20% is 20%, might be the damage of sheen that you feel.

Build Tabi + random early armor => GP is screwed.

Source: GP main

GP has no real source of damage apart from autoattacks, as his Q is an autoattack itself. Passive dmg just sucks after a few levels and R dmg sucks way more if you can't land 3 passive stacks at first, so Ninja Tabi pretty fucks all his damage sources.
