The reason Gangplank isn't as bad as Nid is that Nid has an escape

plus, while they both have heals and one super powerful ranged poke, Nid has both scaling off AP, while Gangplank has one that's AD and the other is AP... which means that for Nid, both get a lot stronger at the same time, while for Gangplank either one gets stronger or the other (or you get a hybrid build and both are shitty... yay?).
