that ultimate is pure garbage. back then you could use thunder lord's and it would proc with the ult. which was useful because it dealt dmg then. but now. it deals nothing. litterally nothing. the only usage it has left is to get an assist on someone who is already going to die. or to remove that malzahar shield before hitting ur barrel. and the cooldown. omg... its garbaaaaage. do something about it pls
Beatrice falls2 votesGlobal range AoE slow Decent damage Gives vision Can be upgraded
Yeah no, it doesn't need anything more.
TheFortex1 votesAoE slow
well. its only for 1 second and not even a strong slow and if he decides to stay in there, for a reason... it only slows while shooting. so its easy as hell to get out of it so all it would do is allow the out of range guy to auto him because he can't cus they both run at an equal speed which is rare.
Decent damage
wtf? each wave deals 50 fukin dmg with almost no scales REGARDLESS of their armor...
Gives vision
it does give vision but if you want something to use as a way to have vision globally redemption could be a choice because it has a non-global but a really long range so it can be used for the same cause
Can be upgraded
upgraded to what? to a toy gun that shoots faster? a toy gun that throws a mini pebble with dust? or a toy gun that makes your playmates happier because it plays music?
it's NOT good at all
Inkling Commando1 votesCannon Barrage upgrades:
Death Daughter: center point cannonball that does triple the dmg and is true dmg. and increases slowdown greatly.
Fire At Will: increases barrage waves. (from 12 to 18)
Raise Morale: increases teammate movement speed for 2 sec.
downside is you need 500 Silver Serpents for each one which can only be obtained from Parrrley and Barrels shot by Parrrley. unless there is a huge wave of enemy minions pushing and you have 
, getting 500 will be near impossible. let alone 1500 for all 3.

has a global instant cast ulti that can deal true damage wqhen upgraded
is a mid range ulti take anywhere between 2 seconds and 3.5 seconds to land. even people who are hit by a max rank 
Q when he starts the casts can still dodge it.
like seriously.. no... GP utility already has WAY too much functionality.
u dont "buff" a stronger version of something before you even they playing field for a much weaker but nearly identical skills
Inkling Commando1 voteseven with all three upgrades, which is a pain in the ass cause Silver Serpents take a long time to get, it is still kinda bad. only thing going for it is it can hit anywhere on the map. they need to increase it's dmg and/or reduce cooldown. the lowest i have gotten it to is i think 66 sec (out of 180 sec).
KlydeFrog1 votesYep the cd on the ult is to long. When other global ults have less cd
TheSingularity1 votesThe issue is gp is hard to balance between regular play and meh LCS!!!!!
He's a relatively uninteractive champion (yes he spams Q on you, but you don't actualy clash very often). Who wins through scaling like crazy.
But compared to other global or near global ults, his has several advantages (others obvs also have advantages over him as well )
Gonna use I.C for instant cast and I.A for near instant arrival
Compared to:
: gp hits multiple people, can deal more dmg, I.C, I.A
I.C, I.A, deals dmg
cc, I.C, I.A
can be cast anywhere, i.c i.a
i.c i.a cc
i.c i.a cc
i.a cc multi target
i.c i.a dmg. Multi target cc
dmg, cc I. A i.c
cc,
cc i.c dmg
i.a cc
As you can see. Instant cast and a lack of travel time is the common advantage. This makes it stupidly strong to initiate fights elsewhere or to save people (as it isn't almost global, it is fully global).
While the cc isn't very strong. It allows team mates to land their follow up cc easier.
It isn't meant to deal allot of damage. It being off cd applies pressure everywhere on the map. And unlike most other globals, it can be used for emergency waveclear since it hits everything.
Sorry babe. But it's just hard to buff him cos riots lcs. And because it's unique advantage gives it a significant edge over other globals.
TheFortex2 voteswell... that was useful. thanks for explaining politely and for your time
