Balanced? No. Old GP was top tier pick but still balanced in my opinion. This GP is a mere shadow of his former self. He beats every or most lanes from levels 1-5. He then proceeds to lose all lanes afterwards unless he cemented an advantage too strong to be turned around without the enemy jungler's help.

Hopefully the introduction of TT's Blade of the Ruined King onto SR will improve GP's situation (perfect item on him tbh). But right now he's just an average choice for top lane. Needs a buff on his passive (just compare it to Darius' or Riven's. Derp.) and his E.
