until today, i've never, ever, ever seen a good gangplank. all the gangplanks ive ever seen usually fed, and only got their kills through his ult in early game ganks.

but i tried him today, and man he is insane. i went 22-5 with him, even though 2 team members fed, using a critplank build.

the BEST farming tool in the game? in-lane healing? a hands-down teamfight table turner ult? a mini, spammable sivir ult?

how is it possible to do badly with this guy? he's insane.

a parley and 2 autoattacks is enough to kill a squishy, and if i get snared or whatnot, i just remove scurvy and ghost myself out of there. and his ult? with good positioning of the ult and if the other team has no flash it's pretty much a guarenteed ace.

i got 2 quadrakills and god knows how many double kills that game.

i know it was only one game, but i could easilly say that the other team was good; much better than mine's. but theoretically, GP is honestly insane. i nuke like a veigar and carry like a lifesteal master yi, AND i can just hustle out of there with my remove scurvy after i do my job..

please, pros. point out what's wrong with this guy. gangplank. is. powerful. as. ****.

Pretty simple: Take Q at level one, don't have good runes, don't start with Sapphire Crystal.

How to do badly with Gangplank in a nutshell.

1. i took Q at level 1
2. i was using my soraka rune page
3. i started out with boots and 3 pots.

Take E at level 1, deny exp. Profit. Many people seem to underestimate the power of denyplank. If you can succesfully deny and make them B or even kill them, then you will broaden the level gap between your lane and the opposing lane, you will have a level advantage.

However, these days, people want to just do deeps as soon as possible so they spam parrrley from level 1 without realizing it does little more than an auto attack at level 1.

Also, don't stack avarice blades, you can farm the gold fast enough for your crit items as it is.

Idk how ppl r soo bad with him... my first game i got14/4/11 with him. Soo easy..

U take E to deny exp from the other team. Turret hug and u can still out lvl them. After E Start maxing Q and put some in W for hp and cleanese.

Build 3 avarice and Cdr boots.
IE+ ghostblade= gg for the other team if you learn to play GP

Even though it was just one game, I was skeptical at your claim since I've NEVER seen a Gangplank do quite that well.

ikr? easy stuff. as long as you don't suck you can get an IE by early-midgame and burst a squishy from half hp. thats why i was so surprised when i found out he was so easy.

and btw, played him again. 12-1.

denying minions with gp is overrated and a waste of your time. honestly. you'll do more than deny them (maybe) one minion from each creep wave if you keep up a good harass and zoning the enemy out that way. it's not effective unless you know the enemy champion will consistently be able to last hit all 6 minions from each wave and him losing that 20-30 gold per wave will actually hurt him.

unless i'm laning with a tryndamere against a zilean and malphite, i'm not gonna get denied. parley will net me a few creeps per wave, and there's always remove scurvy if i overextend and get harassed. it really isn't that hard to get gangplank farmed up unless you're laning with a greedy sivir. also, his ult is like a mini-karthus ult; it may be rng based but drop it on a crowd of enemies and you're ready to ace. i'm not sure if the cannons apply crit, but all i know is my ult does RIDICULOUS amoutns of damage.

and lol please dude, all i play against are lvl 30s. my 4 man premade is fully consisted of lvl 30s. ranked games too, played on my friend's accout and won 2/3 matches. lvl 30s arent a big deal buddy so you can drop the condescending attitude.

I've beaten down numerous Gangplanks in mid lane. Gangplank doesn't have enough range, and if I kite with frost arrow on, he can't do anything about it.

Once I get the Big Fking Arrow, its over for Gangplank.

So, those gangplanks didnt skill their W skill to counter your big fking arrow?
