Gangplank still feels empty and is missing something?

I've said this before I'll say it again full ad does damage but isn't useful at all in team fights and late game. i've tried going on hit gangplank, iceborn titanic hydra, it takes too long to build useless early game, and you're just constantly passive and get countered by most champs, he's not a solo carry champion. His old kit kind of made more sense because you could e to either to chase or get away after you got cc'd and you ate oranges to get out, his passive doesn't even get triggered with his q like what kind of a spell is that where all on hit effects work except his passive -_-

Right, because a global ultimate capable of 600/840/1080 damage and an AoE slow you can use when you're not even with your team, along with warp-speed unavoidable poweder-keg critical strike chains, is not useful enough in team-fights. That's not even considering silver-serpent upgrades, where you can increase R's damage by 50%, 60% initial slow with True damage, or a 30% MS boost when traversing the ult.

His old kit kind of made more sense

GP's old kit was objectively terrible. Raise Moral caused him to stop to cast his MS boost, and the AD bonus on that skill was pretty 'meh'. Especially compared to barrel chains: which allow Parrely to essentially be an AoE skill with bonus reach capable of chunking the back line for 70% of their HP. His old ultimate was also competently random, and had the chance to do absolutely nothing to opponents walking through it. Grog-soaked blade was also pretty lackluster, where Trial by Fire essentially grants the Raise Moral MS/AD boost to GP if he uses melee auto-attacks.

For starters, your builds were wrong in every possible way. I'm pretty sure you should be working on that before making this thread first.

That's a great basic of what you want. His passive is just a filler AA for taking objectives or hitting someone to reposition.

Your role is just to harass the enemy team for your team to do something which is why GP is to just deal a heavy amount of teamfight turning harass/poke to give your team an advantage and zone control.
