Gangplank Guide
Oh Captain my Captain!
I discovered your guide not so long ago and It interested me considering the fact that
I think that you should mention
Other than that, I like the guide. :)
For exaple, in the game Gangplank say special texts when he picks Bilgewater Cutlass and The Bloodthirster. And I see too that Gangplank have a balance between damage and life, so I search items that can give him both, and I found the Frozen Mallet. The Black Cleaver and Spear of Shojin can give AD, life and CDR too. Other item is the Stormrazor, the standard build have this item por him. It's a crazy idea buy Warmong's Armor?
Why these items aren't in his build?
P.D: I'm Spanish, and my English is middle.
The Bloodthirster: It would be a nice choice, If GP would be more Auto-attack-based (Like the One before they reworked him). But Death´s Dance is much better(Gives CDR, too), because it heals with your Barrels, passive and Ultimate, too, and has a Defensive aspect with the DoT-Dmg-regulation like Bloodthirster with its shield.
Bilgewater Cutlass: Not a Choice on the Critplank(not Auto-attack based) nor a choice on Tankplank, there are better Offensive-defensive Items (Titanic Hydra, for example) for him. They just made a line because of the name^^.
Black Cleaver: You dont need the Armorpen, your Passive deals some Truedamage and your Barrels ignore their Armor, if you want an Extra-Piece of Armopen, buy a Last Whisper Variation, it gives the same AD (40), and much more instant-Penetration (Lord Dom. Regards) or a bit more Armorpen with reduced enemy-healing (Mortal Reminder). You would need to stack the Armorpen first, too. Anyway, you buy the Phage for your Trinity Force, which gives 20% CDR, too, and is way more useful. You can use the Itemslot much more effective with another Item.
The Frozen Mallet is a funny Item, if you want some Extra-Health, a nice Slow(Cause you are Melee + Q-Slow) and a bit more AD. It´s not my Playstyle but could work, if you want to focus on an auto-attack-focused Build (Maybe Conqueror is a choice then). But not as Critplank, as Tankplank!
Spear of Shojin: The Spear is definitely a nice Item, i could add it to the Tankplank-Build, it should work there pretty nice. I would not recommend to buy it as Critplank.
Stormrazor: Since they changed Stormrazor, its not the cool Item it was before, there are definitely better ones.
So, thats my Opinion to this Items^^, maybe it helps you.
Oh and also with the new crit items you need to try stacking
Yeah, the Essence Reaver is a strong Item on Gp, i played it sometimes, too. I just forgot to add it^^.
First of all, I don’t really play Gangplank nor Top lane very often. But I saw your comment on that downvoter and became curious.
So personally I think you really took your time to sit down and write down every kind of thought and experience you have and had with that champion which must have taken a long time in order to do so.
I really love how you used quotes within your sections and chapters. It really makes it easier to follow and lets the reader feel how much effort you put into that guide.
Also the videos you added if possible Barrel constellations are awesome because they make it easier to comprehend other than just explaining them in written form.
So please do me the favor and don’t let random people pull a great guide down like yours.
Cheers Wicked Cherry. :]
first of all, I´m sorry you get this comment much later, i was very busy with studying.
Thank you very much for your opinion, you seem to have, although you do not play Gangplank often, dealt something with my guide, I appreciate it very much :D. You´re going so much into detail, it´s great for me to get a detailed description back. I´ll do my best to get this guide great to help other people out, don´t worry!
Cheers, Atlascrower. :)
So, Dark Harvest: + Easy to use with your Q; Strong Lategame-damage | - Got recently nerfed (hard); Useless early, needs too much time to scale if you play Gangplank (You dont roam much, no jungle camps, you have no great Kill-Pressure, so you scale Dh with Cannon minions, every 3. wave just 4 stacks in 1 1/2 minutes is NOT efficient, more like a wasted keystone-space.
Dh is also a rune for easy-matchups as Kleptomancy is, but last one is much stronger, because a fast sheen or Trinity are much better as stronger bonus-damage with minute 40.
