Good Guide Jei!!! Will be using this when playing gangplank 3v3 :D

I don't really like playing but your guide is really cool,
Good job, keep up the guides my friend.

+1 From me!

+1 TT guide, I like the part where you say a creep wave is as much as a kill and eventually characters become worthless to kill.

Thanks for the good feedback so far, lets hope other like it too.

@Skury420, I feel it's good to learn about creeps early on in the levels.

i dont really care for your build

Really? If that is all you have to say then don't bother wasting your time. It doesn't bother me if you don't like the build, but down voting without what I see as no real reason is stupid.

Next time, give a valid reason and I will give you a full response.

so for your item build, i really dun get why you get atmas with no extra health items. also i think GP should still get some type of lifesteal item. if you dun like the items in your original build, put them in a situational items section or something like that. for your runes section, maybe explain some other situational possible runes. for your summoner spells, heal and exhaust are still definitely viable.

^You don't really need health items for Atma's Impaler to be efficient. Gangplank actually has one of the highest base health in the whole game, and Atma's has incredible synergy with him.

Life steal generally isn't necessary because you have Remove Scurvy, strong poke, team steroids, and a global ult.

Anyway, nice guide :3

However, I think your build could use improvement.

1. brawler's glove start is unreliable. You're focusing on lucky crits in exchange for lane sustainabiliy and survivability. It's a lot better to start with Boots of Speed and 3 pots because of the increased mobility, and because Brawler's Gloves is pretty cheap, you can easily pick it up later. Sheen can also be taken earlier for a free 'crit'.

2. Your build is ridiculously expensive, coming to 17045g. Champion kills are worth more than CS in Twisted Treeline, therefore being able to farm as much as you want with Q won't help as much and will lead to an incompletion in your build 99% of the time (unless you can count on hour long games, which rarely happen). Yes, it can be strong if you complete it, but chances are you won't.

3. I think you are underrating Raise Morale. It is a TEAM steroid, and one of the reasons why Gangplank is OP. I mean, 40 AD. That's a B. F. Sword. For every team member. Consider getting it earlier.

Overall, the guide is really nice, and deserves a +1 :3

@A Chubby Baby, I think the comment underneath explains basically what I was going to say about Atma's. The Trin Force gives a slight bit of health, I know not so much but it's still a little more on the AD scaling. That extra AD in a crit is 44~ X 250% on top of the rest of the AD, so it is quite a bit considering. Also the low cost for what you get on top of the passive, you get 18% crit chance which is 1600~ gold, 45 Armour which is 750~ gold as well as the 44 AD which is 1600~ gold. So overall it can be worth it.

As for the other optional runes/items, I will be working on that more over the coming days. I do not want to leave the guide unfinished at all, I plan on adding a lot more, improving it and also allowing other peoples insights into the guide. I haven't tried every build but I would like to see how different builds work and make that close to perfect one. Ofcourse, situational items will always perfect those builds over a premade build.

@tehAsian, I love your feedback, this is the kind of thing I was waiting for. I know that you rely on that crit chance, but with it seeming to be a little imbalanced like dodge was at the moment, you tend to crit more. Though I know you mean that you can never know when it would work. Boots and 3 pots is a good starter but on most other AD champs, I tend to buy a Doran's Blade for the extra damage. Though it depends on your team as well.

I will be adding more items like I said above. As for the expensive build, I have to agree with you, the games I have played with this build in mind, have usually been over 35 mins long. That being said, I have only completed it a few times. I think I will have to think it over and find some similiar items that do just as good, but at that cheaper price.

As for Raise Morale I haven't personally seen that much of a difference, though that being said, looking at those numbers it is quite a lot. For team members it is half of that but a free 20 AD is still better than nothing. Though I see the skill sequence is fine though maybe 1-2 points in Raise Morale before maxing Remove Scurvy to help with those team fights.

Thanks to both of you for that feedback, once I get back into looking through the guide, I will add these things to give more of a choice.
