i'm not going to say that i agree with your build, but i do enjoy GP Support, especially after they gave melee Supports that 8 gold on-hit. go Targon's Brace + Avarice Blade.

hell, i go full on Bankplank in the support role, transitioning into Critplank for the rest of the game.

Despite what many people will tell you, supports don't always need to be a ward-bot or Utility-bot. sometimes, all you need is a fantatic early game presence, a synergy with gold/10 items, and a method of countering ganks. GP has all 3 aspects.

he does have many reasons to NOT choose him, but when your team needs a second (or first) physical damage source, Support Gangplank a great pick. (AP/CC heavy example: Gragas Top, Sejuani Jungle, Ekko Mid, Corki ADC) it happens sometimes, and as a "Support Main," i feel that a support should have a practised champion for every situation.

indeed, i advise any aspiring low-ELO support to learn to Support with every champion they own. Support is a mentality, not a Champion Pick.
