I played abit with GP recently, normals and rankeds in plat/diamond elo.

Gangplank sucks so hard in s3. Nowadays you will see alot of pushers - proxy singed, trynda, GP cant do a single shiet about dude whos pushing all day becuz his waveclear is so incredibly slow and bad unless you build tiamat/hydra or statik shiv. The enemy just shits on you farming between your turrets and you have to farm under your own turret waiting till it falls down from turret. Of course he can wait for jungler, but he cant do a single shit alone 1v1 about this situation thats why hes just terrible to play. You cant pick him before the enemy because you will just get stomped so hard. I cannot think of slower wave clearing champ in the entire game. I also dont think GP`s situation will change unless his kit is reworked. OFC he gets more gold from farming, but its very hard for him to win a lane (maybe theres a hope if he doesnt get too behind before getting stattik shiv).

GP just can get easily destroyed in lane, before some teamfight appears where he can be useful with his ult and E he will be too behind if hes countered in lane by all-day pushing champ. There are just much more better picks for toplane.

I`m done
