The story of AP GP

[quote=Latest Legend]Another thing Critplank has is that his mid game isn't crap, and his early game is better. Not that I don't like playing him AP though, I don't like building the critbuild because it feels stupid, cheap and annoying to me. But I won't say it's good. I can't talk about GP without mentioning Rito killed him so he sucks. And I remember I've written this a lot already so I think we've been through this before numerous times already. xD But I'll take Optimus' word for it.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Actually, the 2 items powerspike of AP GP with Runeglaive+Luden's is/was not bad at all, you basically take away 1/3 of HP with 1 shot which is rather good poke. But as I said, Critplank spikes earlier, but for that, AP Gangplank can basically never die unless he runs into the enemy team carelessly. Also, in lane, he is like AP Yi and you know what that means. And lategame, AP GP has definitly the advantage, even more through his ultimate. You can pretty much compare him to AP [[kog'maw]] in terms of powerspike and damage. You are less spammy with less range but for that you have a pretty strong zone control ultimate which can make sieges totally easy and you can get out of jail for free. Raise Morale also grants way more mobility.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]Except the current meta devours you outside of normal queue blind pick lol.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Actually, we see many poke/sustained damage heavy champions, to kill AP GP, you need high burst, as he otherwise always heals himself. The meta couldn't be better. For similar reason, Vladimir is strong and I wonder if we will see more Swain in the future as he is very similar to Vladimir.[/quote]

[quote=I want to be a Blitzball]I didn't know that the game favors champs that are completely useless. He's funny to play vs certain champs, but against any decent player you would lose. Also, why would you ever build him full damage? There's a tank meta going on. I actually used to play him, before his ulti was changed, going sunfire/spirit visage/liandry's.[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Cuz Kog'maw/Varus also don't build defense, right? Also, AP is a defense tool for Gangplank, as it turns his heal into a 2. life button. If you are getting hardcore focused or instantly bursted, [[zhonya's hourglass]] is always an option. http://www.probuilds.net/champions/Gangplank Hey, Alex Ich, mr. AP Yi plays GP. Just to remind you: [embed=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foy_kjl-WCY][/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]kogmaw and varus are ADCs that have range so they dont have to build as many defensive items, its been that way for a very long time and please dont say "GANGPLANK HAS RANGE TOO CUZ Q HES BASICALLY AN ADC"[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Gangplank kinda makes up for his lower range with his heal + cc removal on W, which saves him out of many things.[/quote]

[quote=Zordagoth]Nop that don't "make up for it" it's fun to mess around but it's nowhere near reliable, nor as strong as Runeglaive Ez. You have more CD, less range, less mobility, less damage. And anyway both Runeglaive and Gp are going to be changed sooo ...[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]Even Korean's start now to play AP GP, actually on top lane with [[smite]]+[[teleport]].[/quote]
