Work in progress
This is a work in progress and mainly for personal use
why you should play gp
[nextcol]
Why play gp
Ranged, Melee, Bruiser, Assassin, Mage
GP is a really strong and unique champ that can be played both top and mid and has a really high skill ceiling which makes the champ not go boring. It is really satisfying to see him one shot squishes late game when ahead. He can do pretty much everything: He can split push really well, carry teamfights and he is basically a melee and ranged champ in one depending on the situation.

Pro and cons
|
PROS
+ Big damage + Big range + strong in all stages of the game when not behind + able to impact the map with ult You are able to thrive when you know how to play gp and are able to have cc and frontline. You are really strong at all stages of the game if you are not behind. You are really oppressive to lane against especially top since most top laners can't do much about your q poke |
CONS
- Really hard champ - easy to punish if you misplay - vulnerable to dive - No cc - useless when behind - if top you are often without front line if there is no tank support Really easy to just ran down if you misplay and even when ahead you can't just smash your keyboard and win. You need cc and frontline to thrive but that can be hard since the toplaner is most of the time expected to be front line, but you are able to deal with it if you play well. |
Top or mid?
Since gp can work both top and mid there are some up and downsides to both:
Upsides top:
-able to bully melee's
-has a lot of really good matchups
-better split push potential
Downsides top:
-Easy to get ran down if misplay
-Also some really bad matchups
-Often lacks frontline since top gives frontline most of the time
Upsides mid:
-Not easy to get punished since the shorter lane
-More impact on the map
-Easier overall to play IMO
-More neutral matchups
Downsides mid:
-Often leads to not enough ap in the team
-Bad in early skirmisches like drake fights
-Can get barrel contested if your placement is bad
-Not able to bully as much early
So in conclusion both are really good. If your spacing is better and like to bully enemies early you should go top and if you want to have a lot of impact early and have good barrel timings you should play mid.

General rules of runes
The general rule for choosing the right runes are:
Safe and need survivability = fleet
Agressive but often not in melee range = comet
Free matchup/farming matchup = first strike
A lot of trading/they can get on top of you = grasp
Those are just the general rules of choosing the right runes. If you are really not sure comet is the best option since it is fine against anything.

Combo's
There are 3 combo's on gp that are usefull:
The triple passive(the most important one)
Triple barrel
And the One part barrel combo

early game
Top:
against non ranged matchups keep barrel at your feet always to not get ran down.
Use your q to farm and poke when you have comet/grasp/first strike/fleet.
Try to get a good balance of csing and poking. Run the enemy down when they are poked down enough
Mid:
Do alot of q trades when you have comet you win those against most champs.
If they are melee keep barrel at your feet so they dont jump on you.
Avoid early skermisches by trading a lot since you are quite bad at early skermisches.

Mid/Late game
In the mid/late game gp is both a great team fight and split pusher but you should group more often then not since gp is really easy to dive. You are backline most of the time so your job is just landing barrels and staying safe. If there are people diving you there is a high chance you can just 1 shot them with a triple passive combo, but you should still watch out for them.
How to further learn this champ
Unsure how to learn this champ? Just keep playing him you will get good eventually at him.
I also recommend watching good gp players like solarbacca to learn this champ
