Whats with the sudden influx of Gangplanks?

[quote=Riggsinator]Even after the so called buff I still find him to be very low on viability. They're all building the exact same too it seems, and it's proving to be very mediocre to say the least. Haven't won a game yet when I got one of these "new age gangplanks" on my team. I'm to the point where I just ban him so someone on my team doesn't pick him.[/quote]

[quote=Crazy Smurf]This is called an Era of "I-slow-yo-fat-ass-and-get-tons-of-assists". That's how GP works now, till very late game at least.[/quote]

[quote=Trojan995]Are you kidding? I've been doing incredible things as Gangplank. Once I get that trinity force - man, I drop people faster than womens' pants when they first meet me! He's best in the jungle imo, so he can get that red buff Q + some really strong high-speed ganks with his E. The build I've been using: [[vampiric scepter]] on first back: [[cloth armor]]/1 or 2 [[health potion]]s [[boots of speed]] [[wriggle's lantern]] [[heart of gold]] [[ionian boots of lucidity]] or [[mercury's treads]] [[trinity force]] (I actually haven't gotten this far, but this is what I had planned) [[infinity edge]] [[last whisper]] [[randuin's omen]][/quote]

[quote=Dante Rebellion]I tried some jungle gangplank and I get scores below what I have been getting with the old laning gangplank (still pretty good scores :P... 6/3/14 kinda shit) ... I'll try the new gangplank in lane because I think I [u]need[/u] those crc reds[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Gangplank is freaking overpowered at his current state. He destroys every lane he's on, you cannot 1v1 him because of his heal, poison and incredible slow which fucks your escape up. He has amazing utility and damage. I played Teemo today and was splitpushing top as my allies were keeping the enemys busy in mid. Gangplank boosted to top lane, Ult, slow, I had no chance to escape nor fighting him although I was on same Equip and Exp level like him and had my Blinding Darts and stuff on him(Freaking DoT didn't even allow me to stealth).[/quote]

[quote=ExamplePrime]Must try[/quote]

[quote=Summoner]It's kind of a requirement to play Gangplank in the Jungle now. Sure, he's still strong in lane, but he applies so much pressure to other lanes being in the jungle, and is probably the only champion right now that can help 2 lanes simultaneously (for example, ganking bottom while using ultimate on top lane). With Lizard, he can force anyone out of position to have to waste their summoners just with one bullet - let alone his many hits. And if they waste their summoners and STILL can't escape, they are doomed. His E and his new passive just work so well together, and on top of Trinity Force slow with Lizard slow, it's almost impossible to escape, even with using all your summoners. To be honest, I can see them changing his W now that he has such strong ganking potential. The only thing you can do to stop him from killing you in his ganks is to CC him, but if he just uses Remove Scurvy, there's not much you can do otherwise.[/quote]

[quote=Devilesse]I've actually been noticing a lot of Gangplank players more often to. I'm assuming people are starting to notice something incredibly redeeming about him as a character. Hrmm.[/quote]

[quote=Diesel]He's not that bad really. I'd rather have him than Yorick any day in lane right now.[/quote]
