- No massive Q damage
- Concept is hard to get
- Late game not so impressive
As far as marks are concerned, I believe that you could also get AS marks for even more on-hit pain. Armor seals are laning essentials, even if the enemy laner is AP (ex. Vladimir) he needs to auto attack in order to poke you and these help a lot counter this damage. Also armor seals reduce the incoming dmg from early minion aggro. Concerning glyphs, if the enemy laner is AP, you should better take flat magic resist, but if not then you should opt for late game durability with magic resist per level.
These are the best of the best and the best of them. You have low mobility so Flash really helps making plays, killing escaping, juking, saving teammates, anything. Ignite is more dmg, adds, to your burst and stuff. Cuts off healing and it is the last tick you need to finish off an opponent. Also with the mastery you get a bonus 5 AP and AD which is not bad at all early game.
Other spells:
This is actually really good on GP. You can really turn around a bad situation in a key lane by ulting and teleporting there. You can also go back to lane after a shopping (or healing) therapy at your base. As you got a lot of attackspped, use this to split push really much, which is key objective in YoloQ.
The key ability of this build. A very annoying source of dmg for the enemy to calculate. This is the reason you build so much attack speed, in order to apply this to your enemies constantly. Also it is a free soft CC (slow) which allows an AA spamming potential.
Q: Parrrley
The key ability of blueplank and critplank. One of the best farming abilities in the game. Don't spam it, the mana cost is not attractive at all. Use it to CS, in order to leak gold. When you're dueling, I suggest you AA-Q-AA which makes applying all three stacks of passive easily since Q resets the AA timer. It is funny to see a critting Q every now and then thanks to Statikk Shiv because it is just unexpected dmg. You can use this to finish off dudes, catch up with them, flee from a single opponent or even peel since it does some considerable dmg especially if it crits.
W: Remove Scurvy
OP lane sustain and CC removal. This can save your *** many times, by level 9 the heal is simply huge so you can even bait someone to burst you under tower, then pop this, AA-Q-AA him and ignite plus tower shots and he is possibly dead. No one expects you to level up this first, so make them go nuts.
E: Raise Morale
A very nice steroid ability, passive and active. If you duel pop this for more AD which also enhances your Parrrley, if you can buff all your team with this in teamfights, then you have possibly won the fight.
R: Cannon Barrage
This ulti is an AoE source of great damage. Use this to farm from, finish off enemy dudes, save a teammate, and turn around fights. With this and teleport, you can really save a lane. However the cannon balls fall randomly so don't rely on this to deal damage. This ulti is also really ****ing OP in dominion.
W is the star here. Maxing this out, gives you extreme power during laning phase since you can remove CC and bait opponents. This also let's you buy nothing but damage early on but still survive, which means that you will probably win the lane
E is better to max second. As an on hit dude, you appreciate the movespeed and AD steroids more than simple burst which is what Q offers. Also E has tremendous impact in mid game teamfights, which is something that you shouldn't ignore at all.
R whenever possible as with all ultimates (except Jayce)
vs really hard AD (ex. Riven, Renekton) take
vs farming laner (ex. Tryndamere, Nasus) take
vs weak early game champion (ex. Vladimir) take
if you want to farm forever take
Always combine your spawn item with consumables, preferably and Sight Ward but is not bad either.
By mid game you should have and possibly boots or some doran's items. This is what is called the core, with these you have a nice amount of durability and you deal hella dmg. What I find to be hilarious when I play GP this way and get Statikk Shiv first, is that the enemy freaks out as he thinks that I am doing a typical critplank build. As a result he starts stacking tons of armor. What he doesn't know is that I am planning to abuse the magic damage from my passive. As far as you've completed the core, you can get your boots to tier 2. Possible options? Mercury's Treads, Ninja Tabi. Now decided what you will do, if you're ahead or if your team needs another dmg resource, build damage ex. Blade of the Ruined King, Infinity Edge, Trinity Force. If your teams dmg is just fine and you feel that you're gonna get focused build defense. Hard AD team? Randuin's Omen, Frozen Heart. Hard AP team? Warmog's Armor, Spirit Visage. Really hard engage team? Banshee's Veil. Wanna build perma-slow? Frozen Mallet. Everything is flexible concerning building GP and that's his true power.
Pls do not always build the cookie butter build of the cheat sheet. Every situation is different and you need different build in order to adapt.
- Since you have very limited AoE damage, you might feel uncomfortable about pushing. Well once you get Shiv, you have the zap cannon to clear teh waves quicklier and mmuch more attack speed. As a result, you will be often able to push your enemy till his back touches the tower.
- After every single recall you must buy wards. Dude I 'm no ****tin ya teh damn wards can save yo life. Always buy a ward over an item, you can't risk it. Also not having gold is pretty much impossible since, farming with Parrrley grants some really impressive gold early on. Even if you don't have enough gold, you can ult a huge minion wave somewhere in the map and get gold.
- As I also said at the start of the previous chapter, GP is very strong at level 1 so against a very weak champion of level 1 (ex. Vladimir) you should force an engage and do the AA-Q-AA combo plus ignite. Even if he flashes, he is slowed so that you can reach him too or flash and slow him again for the kill.
- You have a good laning phase; true. But you can't risk an engage if the enemy jungler is not in sight. If he is in bot it is ok to engage. If he is mid I would be careful.
- If you see the enemy trying to engage on you: there are some possibilities you've got to consider before you decide what to do. 1) The enemy jungler is ready to gank your lane: 1a) You don't have a ward so he is here possibly: You're stupid. 1b) You have a ward and you've seen him: GJ you saw him, you backed a bit but he came anyways to gank, the enemy laner will back too. The enemy jungler is stupid. 1c) Same as 1b though the jungler backed too just to avoid the ward and gank you or leave. Be careful he backed and you don't know what he wants to do.
2) The enemy jungler is somewhere far from your lane and the enemy laner thinks he can beat you. Show him his mistake, without dying ofc.
