GP in Season 7, do we need another Rework?

Okay, so I was a lowly gold three player in season 6, but the champ that got me there (with a 77% win rate) was Gangplank. I'd like to think I'm not complete trash at the game, and after playing GP a lot in both norms and ranked, I just don't feel like he's very viable anymore. His winrate sits around 50% for a reason, sometimes you get lucky. He doesn't scale as quickly as champions like yasuo and, despite having a very high skill ceiling, it has become quite difficult to solo carry without getting camped to insure a lead in the early game. Suggestions to deal with this, or ideas on tweaks to GP in order to keep him relevant without having to one shot an adc would be very appreciated, and I hope that Riot would take a look at this champion that dominated Top lane for such a long time during season 6.

So he has a win rate that suggest he's balanced and this is a cause for a rework? GP wasn't in a healthy place for the majority of season 6. You got to gold abusing a broken champion....which is fine. We've all done it. But you can't complain when they balance the champion either.

They probably won't rework him again but GP is very hard, no. I'll say dangerous to balance due to the camp of people who want him to stay weak. They really overnerfed his Ult and his E, but if either one of those are buffed again people will lose their shit. Even though when those were still strong or decent, people will bitching. He's in an ok place now but he could use a tweak here or there.
