I have been playing gangplank endlessly for a few months. He sucked when he had to kill minions in order to trigger buff. Then they added so that he always can trigger it (but made the buff a lot less strong). This far, they made him more balanced and a better champion... What fucked him up and makes people THINK he is OP is that his passive triggers with the parrley shot. WTF were they thinking when they added that feature, its a SHOT, and IMHO it shouldnt trigger poison... I thought he should have had his 10 second close combat poison, but sure i can live without it. But wtf, parley should not poison neither should it slow... My humble opinion. He is actually though far from op, since unless im being fed in a game I die WAY to easy for a melee champion in middle and late game. Akali for example kills me in 3 seconds (same level). And that is, I build him only dps. With some tank items he survives longer, but still dies. The point with GP is to NOT die early game, and save up money trough minion kills. Avoid the stronger melee champions such as jax, xin, trynd etc etc (You CANT win, they outdamage you). It makes for easy gank-kills late game instead (esapcially with a good team)... When it comse to VS ONE and ONE combat he actually is VERY weak (vs other dps chars), unless fed. Play him and try it yourself.
