As a GP main with the new AD item changes...

%40 isn't that over the top. It's enough to still deal considerable damage to someone who's building full armor (Taric), but it's not enough to make it so that using armor against him in general is useless. The true damage basic attacks may do a lot of damage, but you're still rather squishy, and quite rarely a good idea to get in that range as him. It's mostly for deterrence than anything. And the %missing HP heals you speak of are FAR more based of of flat health regen. The Oranges heal flat amount + %15 of missing HP (Which at VERY most, is going to be a bonus 350-ish HP, but that's assuming you have no armor items and build 3000 health), which the level of heals doesn't really matter, because it's more used as a than a heal. Even then, Gangplank takes HUGE amounts of skill to use effectively. Is he a strong champion? Very much so. Does he take a large amount of skill to use properly? Hell yes, I'd argue THE most. These guys are far closer to the term "Broken". Hit the buttons, do stupid damage requiring very little skill to master. Gangplank might be a similar threat, but he takes so much skill to do it effectively and consistently, that he's only a threat in master or challenjour, and pick/ban in worlds.

Even THEN, Other than his barrels/burning sword/oranges, what else can he do? His ult scales off of wizard power, so it doesn't deal stupid damage unless you built AP like a mad man. He can pretend to not have had a rework and run around spamming his Q at every second he can and be useless. And what else? Nothing. His kit is very simple to understand, but very difficult to master. If we got rid of the armor pen on his barrels, I'd bet he would go to JUST above trash tier

I do understand that crit was kind of pointless for a long time now and applauded riot for trying to give Crit more use in game, but it seems like everything is going to be about crit damage now. even is losing its AP just so they can give it more Crit.

These are dark times sir, dark times indeed .__.

like i said with gp it would be op but with yorick spamming spells and with 's active the crit prob wont come often enough to stall out at 60% mana you will keep dropping to 30 and maybe regain to 50% hp and it only take 5 seconds of in battle with no crit to only 1 crit for yorick to run out of mana unless you turn murasame active off

I see your ulting kat, it would be a shame if someone with a knockback ability stoped it :p

adcs have been op for some time now and the new last whisperer that punishes tanks for building hp on the side of ignoreing armor will take care of any one pesky
