PROS
Good Bard ults can enable nice ult or barrelcombos
CONS
I started to main Gangplank because of the fact that I really like pirates and playing difficult champions. Gangplank fits both and he has one very important thing: scaling. GP´s insane scaling gives you a high comebackpotential and lots of fun in late game. He is hard to learn but good Gangplankplayer can carry a lot of games and your ult is insanely strong.
WHICH LANE?
Gangplank has one of the best scalings in the game his late game is insane. GP is not that popular and op so he is open many times when you like to play him in ranked, which makes him a very nice champion to main. My personal opinion is that Gangplank makes a lot of fun to play when you are already used in handeling and comboing your barrels. GP also got a high comebackpotential because of his scaling so you can still carry games after getting solokilled 3 times in lane for example.
Cannon Barrage is a very strong ult and it gives you the possibility of having impact on other lanes which helps against the biggest TOP probleme: you are very isolated and often have no impact on the global early game.
HOW TO USE YOUR ULT
Gangplank has a very bad early game. You have to be very defensive at the beginning of most lanes and sometimes you could get a feeling of being useless and you are useless in early teamfights! Barrelcombos are often impossible until level 13.
ABOUT ME
GP is viable on TOP and MID. Both lanes have pros and cons. I prefere TOP Gangplank because of my general lanepreferation and I do not like the matchups against mages who you face in MID, it is much easier to farm Kleptomancystacks against tanks. But the default Gangplank build has one big probleme if you play him at TOP. You aren´t very tanky and mostly not as tanky as your lane opponent. I think that every team needs one tank and in most cases thats TOP´s task so GP MID avoids that problem. However GP MID teams often got too much AD.
