i wouldnt say he is underpowered, especially if you watched SK's kevin play him recently. the problem is ninja tabi counter him so hard. 90% of gp's damage comes from autoattacks/parrrley. same reason trynd is not played top anymore, or fiora. hell even riven fell out of fashion. the best thing to do in my opinion is farm farm farm. very hard to deny gp, and if its an easier lane like nasus, warwick, even irelia for the first few levels, thats when you go aggresive. one of the things about SK is they know how to build their team, so knowing ninja tabi are good vs GP, they generally had magic damage junglers, or lots of cc, forcing the opponents to buy merc treads.

but seriously just try farming with him. start boots, get an early philo stone or something, and abuse his ult for free assist gold. lategame farmed gp is terrifyingly strong
