INTRODUCTION
Things i will say in this guide are my opinion and I mean no offense to other Mobafire guide writers or LOL players.
This guide WORKS very good for me. I am more fan of good all champs not that new fancy ones…
This is remake of my old OFFENSIVE

Items here are more defensive but play stile is way more AGRESSIVVE. Now you are really tanky MENACE and u are FIRST on line in TREAMFIGHT where u should be!!
What i wanted to be playing

TANKY
have GOOD DAMAGE,
POKER
be FAST,
have GLOBAL PRESENCE,
be TEAM PLAYER
- Being able to 1vs1 enemy AD, yes if u get ahead with this guide u can do that!!!
and most important have enough MONEY and plan how to get money. Because good items cost!!!
With this guide u have 7 gold/10,


About S3 Preseason patch:
As u may notice SUSTANIBILITY and TANKYNESS of all items and champions has been dramatic reduced. This way riot forces u to play more offensive or just die slowly and get pusher by NEWLY RELASSED CHAMPIONS, and some old, mainly AD bruisers.
Due to this champions who don’t use mana are now stronger then ever egg.
LOL is now best for strong AD BRUISERS and other offensive characters. S3 Patch introduced new and changed items and 1 item has significant impact on TOP lane dorans blade
Whatever u buy on first trip back if enemy has 2 or 3 dorans u will lose. But W8!!! I don’t want to fight him 1 vs1 I just want to sit and farm. Answer: u LOST- sustain items and all gp10items are NERFED. Any good BRUISER can bully u – and your FARM is DENIED and there is nothing u can do.
But I have a SOLUTION !!!

I was watching some LOL tournament when they interviewed some pro player. They asked him about LOL guides on internet, he answered yes there are good guides but also many bad guides. I agree, many people dont understand how LOL works.
For example if u see this on beginning of some guide u can stop reading because author doesn’t know what he is talking about.
Example:
Cons: Can be countered by ARMOR????… wtf !!! Man, what are u talking about???
Let me ask u: Are
and all ADs not countered by armor??? This is RIDICULOUSL!!!!
Or
by MAGIC RESIST?
Counterpicks to
GANGPLANK :
or
difficulty EASY???? RIDICULOUSL!!! How can this be??? If pro player is 2k ELO. You are lets say 1600 ELO. How can 1600 elo
beat 1600 elo
. Even 1600 Vlad can beat 2000 elo GP and it is obviously. Champs have limits … That’s point of counterpicking!!!
If u are writing a guide assume that u have EQUAL SKILLED opponent!!
Is this
GANGPLANK build good:
???
Are u AD Carry?
Enemy
and
will stun and slow u, FOCUS U, dead GP!!! So u can have 500AD and 100%crit and still be completely useless!!!! TOP laners are OFFTANKS or TANKS and NO other.
All other is just WRONG!!!
For example if u see this on beginning of some guide u can stop reading because author doesn’t know what he is talking about.

Why is my old OFFENSIVE Gangplank NOT good any more??
Because I was abusing old HP regen items and it worked well, and no dorans start gives u stronger MID game. Now it just cant be played.
Compare items:
OLD Philosopher's Stone 800 Gold - 15hp regen, 8 mana… so its 365g for 8 mana regen.
OLD
Phage –price was 1315g
All that items were main at start and now just not viable.
Does this means that GP is now best as pure TANK… ofc NOT.
It works like this: Find item that works extra good with
GANGPLANK and ABUSE it.. And I found it :D
125% Damage proc on
Parrrley
AOE Slow 35% for 3s
Armor, mana CD red.. all GOOD on GP

Starting NO boots? S3 Patch all champs have +25 base movement.

quite enough. More money for SUSTAIN items - very important.
Starting 13 mana/5 regen = 3
every MIN to enemy CHAMP or 6 to minions +
refils.
scales EXTRA well 80/150/220/290/360 and
not so great 20/45/70/95/120. I advise taking 3 points [Remove Scurvy] before lvl 10 , for sustain, use it as bait.
U win lane by buying more MANA and ARMOR. At exchange u take less damage (lot of Armor) and heal quicker Philosopher's Stone
, poke all day.
Start AGGRESSIVE

Hello! My name is Ljuba23.
It is S3 already, time for good and successful start on ranked!!!
U probably wonder why another
Gangplank guide?! Well i like GP very much so i played him a lot. I want to share with you my experience and built so u can improve your playing. Many times people start to scream when i pick GP as counter to some TOP lane champs witch apear stronger but i continually prove them wrong, and show them that GP is still viable ranked solo TOP and in hands of experienced player becomes destroying machine.
Second: when
Darius was released people were crying all the time: op op omg omg.. ban him omg etc. Is he really so op?? I found that short ranged
Darius can be completely shut down if u manage to slow him.. Of course u can beat him with
Teemo,
Jax etc. But i like to do damage, to be team player and i love global ultyes… Eureka...
Gangplank

Pros
[*] Good farmimg
[*] Good damage all game
[*] Pooker
[*] Global ulty = lots of assists, honnors, game changing stuff
[*] Team oriented
[*] No skill shots, just sharp mind and good timing
[*] Extremly versatile = insane damage <=> tank initiator
Cons
[*] Not the best escapes
[*] Not so good Vs any Top laner

Why fully AD runes??
Besides tipical
9
Greater Seal of Armor and
9
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist.
As I stated before GP has [*]Good damage all game, and thats the reason. I know many will disagree as would I if u ask me year ago. I was heavy opponent of AD runes.. waste of rune slots etc, my choice was always Armor penetration runes like 9 Greater Mark of Desolation and 3 Greater Quintessence of Desolation. But after playing cca 300 games with Arm pen runes and then switching to AD runes I found great difference, especially in early game. So becouse GP is mid/late game champ and has weak early game so AD runes are must have.
Also did u know that Arm pen runes reduces efficiency of
Last Whisper.. yes its true!!!
So if u want weak early game, strong mid game go Arm pen.
Better choice are:
3 Greater Glyph of Replenishment and/or 3 Greater Seal of Replenishment and 1 Greater Quintessence of Replenishment for better mana sustain for
Parrrley and
Remove Scurvy
Also viably but i don't recommend it:
3
Greater Quintessence of Critical Damage
9
Greater Glyph of Scaling Cooldown Reduction
9
Greater Seal of Attack Speed.... not so

Tipical offensive, not much to say about it. You have sustain trough lifesteal and
Remove Scurvy, and
Parrrley that applies lifesteal and all hit on effects.
Even if u figure out that team needs tanky character becouse your jungle
Malphite is just bad u can still rush
Frozen Mallet,
Glacial Shroud and
Negatron Cloak and help team to win.


Even if u figure out that team needs tanky character becouse your jungle














Naturally your




Start items:
Boots,
Health Potion
Health Potion
Mana Potion. Why? U are fast u can dodge enemy skilshots, chase enemy, escape from ganks, works really fine with
Raise Morale. Potions for extra sustain. Try get cca 1000 gold before going back.
Brawler's Gloves,
Health Potion
Health Potion hahahaaha.... Wow 8% critical.. in the meanwhile enemy will bully u, gank u, get kills and snowball ahead... and u will be recalling before minions are even spawn XD.... u can try it on normal.. but on ranked big NO
Regrowth Pendant
Health Potion.. maybe better.. but u are still slow.. so NO
Cloth Armor and 5
Health Potion vs strong AD.. still u are slow. Better
Boots then rush back with 600g for
Ninja Tabi and potions. So NO
Try get cca 1000 gold before going back or 1350 even better. Use
Parrrley to lasthit for extra gold as much as possible
If u have easy lane: u can farm and u bull enemy with
Parrrley then buy
Sheen and Sight Ward.
Tipicaly if u are ahead u wanna stay ahed and u buy offensive items.
Medium difficult lane: Philosopher's Stone, Sight Ward and
Ruby Crystal for extra healt, mana sustain, passive gold.
Hard lane:
Vs AD: buy
Ninja Tabi and some health regen like
Regrowth Pendant
Vs AP:
Null-Magic Mantle and health regen would do fine. Then rush
Hexdrinker. And play defensivly. Just try to use your
Parrrley to last hit minion when its off cooldown. Call for ganks!!!
Usually buying
Vampiric Scepter early is not good idea but if u have extra tough time, lets say vs irelia and ur
Parrrley applies lifesteal, buy it after Philosopher's Stone
Eleisa's Miracle – this item gives u insane sustain, god for hard lane or if ur team if poking oriented then its ok. But u should go for more tanky build( more hp, armour, magic resist) towards late game.
About Gold/10 items:
Generally NO.. Why is that?
Because u are top lane and that means that u have creeps from 1 lane all to ur self.
Learn to lasthit.. and u will have enough gold.
Lets calculate Gold/10 items:
Regrowth Pendant 435 Gold – 15hp regen
Philosopher's Stone 800 Gold - 15hp regen, 8 mana… so its 365g for 8 mana regen.
Meki Pendant 390g – 7 mana regen. So its actully good deal right!?! And u use all mana regen u can get to
Parrrley as much as possible. So YES
Avarice Blade 750g for 12%crit its 62,5g per 1crit, more expensive then
Cloak of Agility with witch u get 1crit for 45,5g. But let me be clear critical chance its not something u can relie on while AD, hp or hp regen is. U have some extra money np..
Trinity Force asap. Avarice Blade works good on
Gangplank, try it on normal .. on ranked generaly NO
Ruby Crystal 475g – 180hp
Hearth of gold 825 – 200hp … so 350g for 20hp?? Hahaha. It takes 5*6*11=330g …
11+ minutes to pay itself.. and gives u 0 mana and its not part of phage witch u wanna buy
asap. So big NO
Btw Hearth of gold is very bad item, it needs to get buffed, don’t buy it with anyone!
Kage’s lucky pick 765g for 25Ap and u don’t need Ap.. better buy vampiric scepter instead!
So .. NO
BOOTS:
Mercury's Treads – Ur main boots. With
Remove Scurvy and
Flash makes u unstopable menace to enemy AD, AP.. Also good for escaping messy situations.
Ninja Tabi – Also viable, extra good Vs
Kayle,
Jayce,
Master Yi,
Sion,
Tryndamere,
Xin Zhao,
Riven
Ionian Boots of Lucidity – U don’t need CD reduction this much, this is burst damage build and u have mana problems. Just to note CD reduction works best with already low CD like on
Ryze couse u will be able to cast spels more often in teamfight and on no mana champs like
Riven.
Boots of Swiftness – u are already fast with Raise Morale and trinity force.. so NO
Mobility Boots – If u are jungling, but this is not jungle guide(for now) …so NO
Berserker's Greaves – If u have really easy lane u can consider this boots but ur team already has AD Carry and u wont be autoattacking that much.
Sorcerer's Shoes – AP Gangplank… are u trolling me??? NO
Your goal is to have
Trinity Force asap. As well as
Vampiric Scepter for sustain since this build is
About dealing damage.
People ask me if i always build same items.. No. It always depends on situation and what team needs.. and yes this is team game and u need to look at global strenghts and weakness of ur team. Gangplank is extra versatile as well. Fill in what team needs.
For example: Buy
Frozen Mallet ,
Glacial Shroud and
Negatron Cloak. Try to
Parrrley AD, AP or support then
Raise Morale into
Cannon Barrage and focus AD or AP… Congrats ur good initiator!!!
But lets get back to our AD build. Dealing damage is fun right?! :D
If u are going good buy
Infinity Edge next.
Or..
Enemy is stacking armor .. np
Last Whisper is next.
Or..
Ur AD is good but there is no one to tank damage.. np giant’s belt into warmog’s armor.
Enemy have that
Dr. Mundo, ww,
Trundle,
Malphite,
Shen.. that always escapes with milimetar of health… executioner’s calling is ur item, use its active often and on right targets: enemy AD or that
Dr. Mundo, ww,
Trundle,
Malphite,
Shen. Usually executioner’s calling is not so good item but u benefit from all its characteristic and its relative cheap. And makes
Parrrley even more painfull!!
Aegis of the Legion – good item, cheaper version of warmog’s armor but still suport should have it not u. If u don’t have money buy this!
Sunfire Aegis – It can be ok vs some bully like
Jayce,
Irelia, or
Jax but ur goal is to either poke enemy with
Parrrley or go all in, and this item doesn’t do well either. Btw this is early game item.. Don’t buy it after 30+min ever.
Ur goal is to have nice burst damage:
Parrrley into
Raise Morale and
Cannon Barrage then w8 tanks to go first XD.
Complete ur build with the
Bloodthirster for insane damage. Or cheaper replacements like executioner’s calling also good on GP or
Wriggle's Lantern –not so good but if u like it buy it early game- start mid game, for split pushing.
What about atma’s impaler ? It works good on Gangplank but since it got nerfed i don’t like it anymore. It stacks good with warmog’s armor, better
Frozen Mallet or both if u have that insane amount of money.. Good for tanky build. Try this items on normal.
Don’t buy
Frozen Mallet with
Trinity Force since u will be wasting part of trinity force and like 1300 gold.
Phantom Dancer – this is not good item for u. trinity force is replacing this item and works perfectly with ur [Parrrley] .. so NO
Maw of Malmortius - If enemy has good AP or top is AP too, this item is for u.
Banshee's Veil –. Really usefull item. I prefer it over
Force of Nature. This is for fed enemy AP.
Randuin's Omen – nice item to counter fed enemy AD but u should not go first and ur jungler should have it. Better for u is Glacial Shroud into Frozen Heart
Guardian Angel – it’s a must have for AD carry but i don’t know how to fit this item into this build. I tried it and found that warmog’s armor with
Ninja Tabi works way better for heavy AD enemies.
Items that seems good but u should avoid them:
Quicksilver Sash – U allready have
Remove Scurvy
Wit's End – attack speed.. no tnx,
Hexdrinker is much better
Ionic Spark – even worst then Wit's End
Spirit Visage – are u yorick??
Shurelya's Battlesong – must have item for good teamfights but u have Raise Morale, order ur support to buy it.
Soul Shroud- warmog’s armor is way better.
Thornmail– bad item, avoid it generally, try to focus enemy AD instead.
Locket of the Iron Solari – also cheaper version of warmog’s armor, If ur suport is afk or just soo bad this is ok item to buy but even better is
Aegis of the Legion.. generally NO
Tiamat – u don’t have
Fiora s ulty.. And even if u play
Fiora don’t buy this item!














EARLY GAME:
Try get cca 1000 gold before going back or 1350 even better. Use

If u have easy lane: u can farm and u bull enemy with


Tipicaly if u are ahead u wanna stay ahed and u buy offensive items.
Medium difficult lane: Philosopher's Stone, Sight Ward and

Lets calculate Gold/10 items:

Philosopher's Stone 800 Gold - 15hp regen, 8 mana… so its 365g for 8 mana regen.







Hearth of gold 825 – 200hp … so 350g for 20hp?? Hahaha. It takes 5*6*11=330g …
11+ minutes to pay itself.. and gives u 0 mana and its not part of phage witch u wanna buy
asap. So big NO
Btw Hearth of gold is very bad item, it needs to get buffed, don’t buy it with anyone!
Kage’s lucky pick 765g for 25Ap and u don’t need Ap.. better buy vampiric scepter instead!
So .. NO

Don’t buy









Items that seems good but u should avoid them:














In this section i will tell u when to take
CRITPLANK and when not. Also tactics how to win/stay alive in lane.
DARIUS - MEDIUM DIFFICULTY
My favorite top lane opponent. Don’t get me wrong he is hard laner and he can kill u. But yes u can kill him as well.
Bully him with ur
Parrrley as much u can or as much mana u have. Ur
Parrrley has greater range than his
Apprehend – abuse that. When he uses his
Decimate on creeps or if he misses u imidiately
Parrrley him and 1, 2 autoattacks then back. He is always maxing his
Decimate so just avoid it.
Don’t stay at low heath cca 350 when he reaches lvl6 since he has trick;
Flash
Decimate
Noxian Guillotine and
Ignite and u are dead. Bully him until he gets low then go for kill. Philosopher's Stone works great Vs him. Deny his farm and u will snowball. Also u have way better late game.
TEEMO - MEDIUM/ EASY DIFFICULTY
Trick is to avoid his autoattacks. Bully him with
Parrrley. Since he is so squishy
Sheen works extra well Vs him, buy it asap. Good thing is that his
Blinding Dart doesn’t block ur
Parrrley When u are going for kill w8 until he uses
Blinding Dart for
Remove Scurvy and
Ignite him early since some players take
Heal.
Remove Scurvy removes slow from
Noxious Trap too.
GAREN - MEDIUM/ EASY DIFFICULTY
U can break silence from his
Decisive Strike with
Remove Scurvy. Bully him with
Parrrley to cancel his passive
Perseverance.
Ninja Tabi works good here. He is very mobile, don’t stay low near him at lvl6. Buy Philosopher's Stone, play for late game.. u scale way better.
SHEN - MEDIUM/ EASY DIFFICULTY
Good
Shen will probably buy
Chain Vest early so u wont be dealing some extra damage to him but he can’t deal damage to u too. When he
Shadow Dash use
Remove Scurvy. U can easy go in melee with him.. just harass him and don’t let him farm.
RENGAR - MEDIUM DIFFICULTY
I found that most
Rengar players are overconfident, mostly they think he’s OP.. prove them wrong. He will most likely stay in bush and just jump at u all the time then go back. Stay behind creeps so creeps will do damage for u. Just bully him when possible, ur AD runes will help u. You will push your lane in no time. At lvl6 when he uses his
Thrill of the Hunt to escape aim
Cannon Barrage more back and try to hunt him. Buy Philosopher's Stone
RENEKTON - MEDIUM DIFFICULTY
He is medium threat to u. He has good sustain with his
Cull the Meek. When he uses
Slice and Dice then stuns u with
Ruthless Predator use
Remove Scurvy and trade with him. Stay behind minions and buy thins like Philosopher's Stone and
Ninja Tabi. Take care couse he has very strong 1-8lvl game. After that and when u have some mana regen items u will start to have more hp then he due to constant
Parrrley, then kill him. Don’t tower dive or take account his ulty
Dominus.
AKALI - MEDIUM DIFFICULTY
Try to deny her farm before lvl6. Stay away from her when she uses
Twilight Shroud. Buy
Phage and
Hexdrinker and u will be just fine. Remember that she is also very squishy.
WARWICK - EASY DIFFICULTY
If u see WW on top instalock Gangplack. Why? Couse there is nothing WW can do to u before lvl6 and even then u can
Remove Scurvy on his
Infinite Duress and walk away. U can slow him go in melee, go back, deny 90% of his farm.. bully him any way u want!
SINGED - EASY DIFFICULTY
He will most likely buy some serious hp regen and armor just to stay in lane and farm, u counter him with building more damage. If he becomes too tanky go for
Last Whisper after
Phage and
Sheen. Generally singed is late game champ and he needs lots of farm to shine which u would not give him. Just bully him and u win the lane.
YORICK - MEDIUM DIFFICULTY
Tipicall bully. Hes sustain is greater the ur so be careful, he can easy wear u down. Buy Philosopher's Stone and null-magic mantle since his
Omen of Famine is doing magic damage and he will max it first. Just farm. Your best chance is to attack him imedietly after u get b from recal, go all in and ignite him asap. U can kill him in 1vs1.
Remove Scurvy after his
Omen of Pestilence to catch him. Don’t let him suck ur life and push u into the tower!
LEE SIN - MEDIUM/ HARD DIFFICULTY
Exept being extra mobile with his
Sonic Wave / Resonating Strike into
Safeguard / Iron Will he has insane sustain through
Safeguard / Iron Will which will every good lee sin max first. There is no way u can push god
Lee Sin. Buy Philosopher's Stone or even
Eleisa's Miracle Call for ganks often, try to farm good and get asists with ur
Cannon Barrage on other lanes.
RIVEN - MEDIUM/ HARD DIFFICULTY
This mobile girl can really hurt u. Crazy thing is that ALL of her abilities scale with AD even her shield
Valor.
Parrrley her when she doesn’t have
Valor.
Riven will max her
Ki Burst for sure damage burst, counter with
Ninja Tabi early. She will most likely be aggressive since she doesn’t have mana. Out farm her couse u scale better in lategame and u are definetly more team usefull.
FIORA - MEDIUM/ HARD DIFFICULTY
Her AD burst is really good. And with her pasive
Duelistshe has nice sustain. Counter her with
Ninja Tabi and some health regen like Philosopher's Stone. Her
Riposte can cancel ur
Parrrley but she has to predict when u are going to shoot her which is difficult. Cik-cak to provoke her
Riposte and buum. If she kills u buy
Glacial Shroudafter
Phage and that will shut her down.. stay near tower if u must. She is kind of hero that can’t poke, and can’t push tower even if she has 5 kills over u!!
VLADIMIR - HARD DIFFICULTY
Bloodsucker is ur hard laner. Try to avoid his
Transfusion couse he will wear u down. I tried many times to bully him with
Parrrley but he just uses
Transfusion to heal back and u are left without mana. Make this lane passive and try to farm as much as possibly. Going 1vs1 is also dangerous. Call for ganks and watch other lanes for ur
Cannon Barrage.
IRELIA - HARD DIFFICULTY
Top lane queen will give u a loot of hard time, yes u can
Remove Scurvy from her
Equilibrium Strike but still her sustain from
Hiten Style is off ur scale, and she will buy
Chain Vest for later
Guardian Angel to shut u down. Interesting is that she only needs attack speed to be good since her
Hiten Style deals true damage. Last hit with
Parrrley !
JAX - HARD DIFFICULTY
King is here, beware.
Jax will tipicaly bully u with or
Empower into
Leap Strike, u can
Remove Scurvy and walk from
Counter Strike but he will probably win the trade. Good thing is that he doesn’t have good sustain as
Irelia does which leaves him woulnerable to ur
Parrrley bullying. Buy Philosopher's Stone and just farm. U both scale very well into lategame so outfarm him. Do NOT go into 1vs1 with him couse u will end dead. Buy enough bottles and beware at lvl 7-8 he can tower dive and survive! Don’t feed, he will be unstopable late game and its gg unskilled
Gangplank.
JAYCE - HARD DIFFICULTY
This new prince will soon sit on solotop throne. U can’t bully him more then he can u since he is ranged! Insane thing is when he uses all 3 abilities on
Mercury Cannon and switch to
Mercury Hammer his cooldowns are refreshed. His burst potential is insane. Good
Jayce probably won’t even take his ulty at lvl6, instead he will take
To The Skies! / Shock Blast or
Thundering Blow / Acceleration Gate for more burst. Stay at distance and avoid his
Acceleration Gate
Shock Blast , take care he can towerdive u and survive tnx to his passive
Hextech Capacitor.
Parrrley minions, play passive and call for ganks!!


My favorite top lane opponent. Don’t get me wrong he is hard laner and he can kill u. But yes u can kill him as well.
Bully him with ur






Don’t stay at low heath cca 350 when he reaches lvl6 since he has trick;





Trick is to avoid his autoattacks. Bully him with











U can break silence from his






Good





I found that most




He is medium threat to u. He has good sustain with his








Try to deny her farm before lvl6. Stay away from her when she uses




If u see WW on top instalock Gangplack. Why? Couse there is nothing WW can do to u before lvl6 and even then u can



He will most likely buy some serious hp regen and armor just to stay in lane and farm, u counter him with building more damage. If he becomes too tanky go for




Tipicall bully. Hes sustain is greater the ur so be careful, he can easy wear u down. Buy Philosopher's Stone and null-magic mantle since his




Exept being extra mobile with his







This mobile girl can really hurt u. Crazy thing is that ALL of her abilities scale with AD even her shield







Her AD burst is really good. And with her pasive








Bloodsucker is ur hard laner. Try to avoid his





Top lane queen will give u a loot of hard time, yes u can








King is here, beware.

What is very important to be good
CRITPLANK ??
Map awernes. Just like when playing
Shen. Have 1 eye on map constant. Ur
Cannon Barrage can save teammates, secure ganks at all lanes, help ur AD to get early doublekill and gg.
Why top lane, why not jungle?
Jugle GP is also good but top lane is way better. Becouse u have all creps just for u ( don’t waste gold, lasthit all), which means u will get
Cannon Barrage early, try to use that on bottom lane asap. U have extra gold from
Parrrley u should be the richest in game and this build is expensive!
What’s your Job?
You are team oriented
Cannon Barrage
Raise Morale you are team general so act like one. Tell teammates what to do, where to gank, what to buy!
Tell ur jungler to w8 in bottom lane bush at lvl. 6 then to gank, with help of
Cannon Barrage they should get some kills. Mid the same thing!
Gangplank is also very versatile don’t forget that. Check enemy builds often, if needed go tanky/ initiator or whatever team needs.
Playing 5/1/ 5 and still lose makes u bad
Gangplank and NOT: My team suck im good look at my score- u suck couse this is team game, u failed to be clutch, to lead team to victory. If needed die so your AD can survive, do damage and win game.
IMPORTANT: About destroying towers:
Your other lanes are winning, u are leading in kills as a team.. destroy tower and try to close the game- snowball.
You are going good and wining lane, other lanes are in status quo(even), or/and if your teammates are
Ryze,
Ashe, kog maw,
Malphite,
Amumu or any late game champions then do NOT destroy your tower. Just kill top laner and go jungle/counterjungling becouse u want him to come back and stay in lane, so ur teammates can farm in peace.
Other lanes are going bad and loosing, you are good. Destroy top tower and go help them, remember u have
Cannon Barrage, use it wisely.

Example of good Solotop play:

Be sport, compete with honor.
Things to say: Stop dying buy dorans, magic resist or we will lose. Play defensively.
Not: noob feeder mid reported etc
Encourage teammates to play better, don’t noob then, told them what to do, what to buy etc.. Guide them, be their clutch (in lol they call it carry).
Be team general !!!
As Michael Jordan was to Chicago Bulls from ‘91-‘93, ‘96-’98
Good luck and have fun!! When
Parrrley crits and does 1/3 hp damage :)
