[quote=TheInkKingLoL]Well, I got a Penta Kill on my third game of Gwen, however, I don't think she's that good. I personally feel that her E cooldown late game is too short and her third cast ultimate damage is slightly too high. Her Q true damage may seem unbalanced but because it's such a small range I think it's fine where it is. Her W cooldown late-game actually may be too long though. She's super good against melee champions because of her dueling power and I see her as a strong late game split pusher, however I don't think she's a good first pick. Also I've tried her mid, jungle, and top and got the best results top lane.[/quote]
