Old Gangplank Q(Parrley) + Passive

StevetheSummoner·Aug 7, 2015·1 votes·1,507 views

I really think Riot should allow Gangplanks Passive to proc when he q's his enemy. Old GP was able to poke his lane opponent with his Q and pressure the lane because of the passive poison. Now GP has to walk up to his opponent to actually proc his passive which is very easy to counter. Top laners that have slows, roots, or stuns can easily counter his passive making it completely useless. If they end up adding the passive proc to his Q then they should also change his E. Destroying a keg should reduce the cooldown of the passive instead of completely refreshing it. This is so that GP can't keep destroying his kegs to consecutively Q+passive.

I just feel that GP seems really weak during the top laning phase and doesn't provide enough pressure anymore.

Gangplank is useless. I mean, he was useless before too, but he had an amazing laugh and always seemed to be having so much fun. He was so colorful. He's now a generic wannabe Captain Barbosa.

You have your oranges to counter CC don't you? Your Barrels slow people so you have to time that slow to get in close with them.

Your barrels apply on-hit effects. Your Q can apply Hydra for its lifesteal etc.

He now has a slightly different playstyle that old GP that you need to adapt to.

You can zone people with Barrels if you have the sustain. You can place surprise barrels in brush to do huge burst damage.

GP doesn't care about CC.

but his barrels are easily countered by ranged champs that can just auto attack the barrel and get free gold. Especially during late game when the barrels tick to 1 bar so quickly. The enemy ranged champ can just to Auto attack the barrel to destroy the chain of explosions. Idk I just feel that the old GP was still better than the reworked version.

He would be super broken, you would e into a bush q them auto the barrel and q them again and chunk people for half

EDIT: didn't read all of your post, yeah I guess if you changed the passive refresh it could work but you still end up wasting the passive while last hitting pretty often in that case.
