As a composition, they are a total noob trap.
But on top of that, Graves, Twisted Fate and Gangplank are some of the worst units in the game.
Gangplank in particular is terrible for a 3 gold unit: not enough ofensive stats for a swordsman, melee gunslinger (that's horrible, for Gods sake), and he needs a trillion years to use his ult.
You should watch Disguised Toast.
and you more than often get 0 gold lmao
What's the point of making a comp that has chance to get 0 reward when any other comps have 100% chance to get their comp benefits?
GP is a 3 cost unit because of his class utility. He is absolutely essential for a Slinger/Blade comp
I go pirates when I want to build gunslingers/blademasters and I never give up them. Replace Twisted Fate with Pyke. Finally replace Pyke with Miss Fortune.
The goal of pirate isnt to keep them but gain a small amount of gold but since orb can give gold, it make them more meh unit group. They got good transition unit but that mostly it.
