Gangplank Build Guide by gabpin

I like the build. Just a small thing, in the jungle masteries the point in mana regen isn't possible without 4 points in the box above it. Otherwise great builds

+ rep and thanks for the advice. I had to switch masteries for new one so I probabli did that mistake without looking =s

Hey, you requested a review so I took a look at this.

I have some things to say in terms of the viability of your choices, the grammar/spelling of the guide, the visual appearance and the depth, so I'll get started right away :)

I honestly have to question the viability of this build. This is supposed to be a build for Gangplank laning top, right? :|

Why would you use such a squishy build on him? Your jungle build is good (apart from the fact that you should get damage items like Infinity Edge after Trinity Force + Warmog's Armor + Atma's Impaler), but your laning build is extremely squishy. The great thing about Gangplank is that building TF + Atmogs allows him to deal great damage while still being tanky.

I can see this work for low ELO play or pre-lvl 30 players, but have you ever seen a competitive Gangplank who used this build?
Also, your screenshot showing that this is viable is a bit ridiculous. Your team setup is horrible (which got me suspicious) and I found out this is a screenshot from your smurf account, currently level 17. Won't convince anyone <.<

Some other comments:

• I think you should merge your first and third cheatsheet. Both builds are very similar (the only difference being whether you get Philosopher's Stone or not and when you buy Trinity Force and the difference in terms of masteries, summoner spells and your skill sequence can all be listed as alternatives in the chapters of your guide. I think the skill order from your first cheatsheet is definitely better than the one from the third one, but I'd suggest using the masteries from the third cheatsheet instead of those from the first because getting 29 points in Offense is really unnecessary.
• Why not use 3x Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage to significantly boost your early game laning power? At the very least I'd list them as an alternative.

Have you used a spell check for this? I doubt it.
I'll point out some errors you make (you make some of these more often), but I really think letting Word/your internet browser check the spelling should correct a lot.

• Don't say 'Parley' or 'Raising Morale'. Use the right name for his abilities.
• harras --> harass
• usefull --> useful
• ennemy/ennemies --> enemy/enemies
• he is death --> he is dead
• Anoter --> another
• Here are my explanation --> Here is my explanation
• geting --> getting
• Optionnal --> Optional
• moove --> move
• an healing champion --> a healing champion
• yumumu --> Youmuu's -.-'
• supress --> suppress
• you have too --> to
• disapointed --> disappointed
• buf --> buff
• spamm --> spam
• atack --> attack

There are way more errors, just gave you these to fix at the very least.


You make use of large icons, but I'd suggest combining them with columns :) If you don't know how to use them, check jhoijhoi's guide: Making A Guide.

This could make your abilities section, for instance, look like this:

SPACE

E: A buf of speed and attack speed that can help all your team: (Passive): Gangplank's attack damage and movement speed are permanently increased. (Active): Gangplank fires into the air, disabling his passive boost but inspiring himself to gain additional attack damage and movement speed, with nearby allied champions receiving half that amount, for 7 seconds.

Of course you won't see the black text because the background of the MobaFire website is also black :)

• 
  Use the following code at the beginning of your 'Runes' section:
  
  Code:

  [runes]
  
  
  and the following code at the beginning of your 'Masteries' section:
  
  Code:

  [masteries]
  
  
  This will result in your runes/masteries showing up in a nicely organized way ^^
• Using small icons in a list like you do in your 'Items' section really doesn't look as good as using bigger icons like you do in the section describing Optional items ;)

Still quite some things that can be changed or added imo:

• Place your 'Description of all Abilities' section in front of the 'Skill Sequence / What to take at each lvl' section, right now you're telling readers what to get before having explained what all abilities actually do :)
• Add tanky runes like Greater Seal of Armor and Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist to your Optional Runes for laning as well, they're not only viable on jungle Gangplank
• What about full Utility (X/X/21) or Defense (X/21/X) masteries? Can you take them, do they work?
• You talk about teamfights and buffs but don't describe how to play in lane. As I said, at the moment I'm not even sure whether this is a guide for solo top (I really hope it is, bot GP is really bad). Do you play aggressive in lane? Do you focus on farming?
  What about specific enemies? Who do you face often, how do you beat them?

Hope this helps, good luck on further improving the guide :)

A pretty cool guide, I upvoted it. But you should add a chapter about HOW/WHAT to do in a teamfight, and what rotation you use when you engage into a teamfight.
+1, its good overall and deserve it :)

I do not suppose you could do me a favour and maybe check out my Taric guide? It covers more than just the usual support, would mean alot to me if you would vote it and maybe leave a comment :) Thank you.

Good build! I have now used it for week and my stats are speaking for me. It's good that you had all the information you need if you are first time gb. And you have the best way to end this guide... You're are a pirate limewire 10h <3 thank you :D
