1. Why would I lose mana on creeps, what the hell? Auto-attacks and last-hits are enough. When I say Laneplank, I don't say ''waste all your mana on creeps,'' I say ''stay in lane and lasthit to gain higher-level advantage and gold.''

2. You think GP is not a melee DPS? Sorry, sir, but you are very wrong. With good attack speed and with this build, Gangplank is a godlike melee DPS. He's not a melee caster. If you are putting him in the same place as Pantheon, you are very wrong, sir. He only has two straight-damage abilities, Q and R, and R has large cooldown and not really high damage. It's also easily escaped. W and E only boost his damage and remove CC. He is NOT A MELEE CASTER DPS.

3. Read the guide before commenting, please! I said that if they don't have enough CC or you feel you don't need it, take other boots, any other boots you want. And even if you do have a built in cleanse, it doesn't mean you are immune to CC, it means you can remove it. But most smart teams will get alot of CC, making Gangplank's W only able to resist one set of debuffs at a time. Mercury's Treads is still good on Gangplank.

4. Dude, maybe you don't see it, but you attain around 2.0 attack speed with Ghostblade and 70% crit chance at all times. You think that's not enough critting? That's just insane.

I highly disagree with your post.

Downvoted.

First off, you get no, and I mean NO mana source. And it hurts, especially considering the emphasis you put on farming. You run out of mana ofter the first few creeps, what then? This is especially a problem since the last nerf (RIOT took half of gp's free gold away ;/)

Second, you get no CDR, not even a measly Youmuu's. This means full cooldown on all your skills - and GP is NOT a melee dps. He's a melee caster-dps, in this very order.

Third, Mercury's. Sure, the tenacity doesn't hurt, but - let's face it. You don't need CC red, you have a built in Cleanse (and let me stress it out, it is Cleanse, not a bloody Heal - the amount of healing is mediocre at best). Any other boots would be good - ninja's for dodge, swiftnesses for chasing... why mercs?

And last but not least, Crit power quints + marks. Sure, 2k dmg Q crits look nice. But a 2k hit every 4 secs compared to 3 1k hits (plus slow stacks)... dunno, but I prefer the latter.

Nice build ;)

Nice build ;)

Ah, I didn't even notice it. Fixed now, thanks.

You have messed up one of your masteries in the offence section, you have 2 in Sourcery and 1 in Archaic Knowledge you cant do that.

But nice build
