This is pretty yucky. Here are my complaints:
1. You don't max a skill at level 9. That's super nooby. Max w for super heals, q for more farm, or E for mobility/damage
2. You take tanking to the extreme. You have literally 0 offense in your runes and items, until you finish your TF around 10000 gold in, which is way late. No armor pen in your runes, no 9 in offense. You will be completely ignored in lane and in teamfights. All that health will mean nothing when your opponents assess your build and notice you're no threat whatsoever.
3. Gangplank is a terrible pure-tank because he has no tank steroid or damage steroid (level 1 E is pitiful as a damage steroid). His base stats aren't great, and he doesn't do damage with pure tank items, like malphite or irelia.
4. Health marks are garbage. Take armor pen or flat ad for better last hitting.
Thanks for the advice or so i think it is, as again this is one of my first guides and its no where close to done. Im not that experienced and im nothing close to a "Pro" player but i am learning slowly. The whole point of this was to be a elite pure tank where nothing can crash you down. I do not see why you hate this guide so much (still under construction so that means i will do loads of editing as i play more of gangplank and find out new things)
Please inform me why HP runes are not good?
if theres anything else you think i should change please inform me thanks :)
