Gangplank | Reduce the decay rate on barrels

Zuil··2 votes·946 views

He's still too vulnerable against ranged champions still. Barrels take 4 seconds to decay before lvl 7. In 4 seconds, you have enough time to move out of the way and avoid the barrel play, or simply just AA it and ruin the chance of any sort of play.

While his barrels do an outrageous amount of damage, he's been getting the nerfs to the barrels which are deserved but no return buffs, Riot has nerfed his only thing that has a chance at taking down ranged bullies and he is returning to his old pre rework state.

My idea of a buff to GP is make him a playmaker in early game, nerf the damage on the barrels a bit more, but make the decay rate quicker pre lvl 7 so that he can make plays and actually put pressure on his ranged foes.

Just a thought..

lets say youre not even using explosion chains like youre supposed to and throw the barrel down in range of your enemies auto attacks.

even then, it just comes down to how well you time your q, so it hits right the moment the second bar disappears.

Problem is his rework failed. While tehy specifically stated they "dont want gp players to play minesweeper" thats exactly what they forced upon them as his ult even with 3 upgrades are mediocre and his Q directly on champs is flat out garbage.

THe only reason this "rework" were somewhat playable is due to the outrageous statistics on his E. But now that it's getting nerfed its clear this new gp has fundamental issues.

I personally shout th' first nerf did nicely as it allowed fer a risk/reward pattern. th' second one....nono...dont take anymore armor pen off :( because they be right th' q be garbage :( so why not just leave him to risk fight his barrels? they DO do massive amounts 'o damage IF he successfully chains it off...as a HUGE gp player, ive seen whar th' barrels can fail 'n they can outplay him...
