Are you stupid Riot, or are you stupid?
The old GP is way better. Passive: His passive sucks now because it can't be activated by Parrrley. While it does do significantly more damage and cause a speed boost, his chasing ability falls off in that his new passive can no longer slow enemies (old GP could use AA AND Parrrley to slow opponents since his Q triggered his old passive), which means that he is really bad against ranged opponents. Parrrley: Nothing's changed, still good. Remove Scurvy: Nothing's changed, still good. Powder Kegs: Just terrible. It takes 3 seconds to put down a second Keg after the first Keg, what makes it worse is that there is a 3 second delay until you can actually make the Keg explode. That means, the enemy (if the player is smart enough) has 3 seconds to get out of the Keg's range. What's worse is that if the enemy is ranged, they can destroy the Keg safely while getting free gold. Unlike Raise Moral, Keg is rarely useful in teamfights. As stated above, any ranged champion can defuse Kegs with ease. Meanwhile Raise Moral boosts ALL teammate's attack damage by 20 and movement speed by 10% (when maxed out). Cannon Barrage: Holy shit nerfed. Cooldown has been increased from 120 / 110 / 95 seconds to 140 / 130 / 120. Damage has been reduced from 1125 magic damage (maxed damage) to a meager 1025 AP (maxed damage w/o upgrade). Also the slow duration from the ult has been reduced from 1.25 seconds to 0.5 seconds. Also did I mention the fact that you need to actually spend time (like 17 minutes) to farm for your upgraded ult instead of choosing which variation you want to upgrade free of charge like Kha'Zix? WTF Riot? Are you all high when you thought of this shitty rework?
