So i feel like the new GP sucks
He just feels really shitty.
His passive requires you to run up to the enemy. But it doesnt do alot of damage till late, and GP isnt tough enough to win trades with this to make it worth going in to melee range against most champs.
His E is a bad gimmick. To even use the thing to actuallly hit an enemy most of the time takes at LEAST TWO barrels. One behind to prime, then hope they get in the small connect range to drop another and Q your first one real fast. A whole lot of work for nothing. They are easy to avoid, easy for enemies to finish off. Against a ranged say goodbuy to most of your damage.
They just feel really gimmicky. Yeah, if you can get it off it does some decent damage, but the enemy blows them up so easily unless you use 2-3-4 barrels to set up some super elaborate contraption. Not worth at all for all the work to usually not get. And if your barrel attack doesnt work, you lose most of your damage. Q does not do much damage at all, even later with some items built if enemy built ANY armor or hp.
The ult feels super weak, feels like the barrage is too slow. Upgrading it? Good luck. I dont know how the upgrades are because I can never get 500 coins. To get there you need to basically afk farm aka Nasus style. Or set up perfect Barrel-Q's with autoing all minion wave to low enough to kill them with a Q'd barrel. Which you cant do with an enemy harassing you.
Just my thoughts, and I could be wrong, but I feel like he sucks, is really weak and soft, and his barrels are a useless gimmick. I predict his play rates/win rates will plummet (dont know they were any good in the first place.
Initial impression, yet another terrible Rito rework.
