I don't think Gangplank can be balanced in his current way. He is very bad in the wrong hands and too powerful in the right ones. Riot never managed to balance a champion around crit chance (look at Yasuo and Tryndamere), even more when it's AoE crit. He is receiving nerfs again, but not on his damage, pushing him to a single build (crit). Before, Gangplank could go any build, tank, fighter, AP, but now these aren't worth anymore. I can compare Mordekaiser with Gangplank in terms of that Gangplank had a hard to balance kit (like Mordekaiser's toxic kit) and a toxic gameplay, but was changed to something even harder to balance (like Mordekaiser's kit turning into something even more toxic) and with a great skill dependece (which should exist, but not of that impact). If he was to be balanced, then the crit chance on his Q should be removed so his Q and E could be enpowered. People says that his rework was one of the bests, that he's much cooler now. Curiously, never saw a real old Gangplank main talking about his changes, and I was one of them. Now the only thing I can do is to miss his old version, he's not cool anymore and becomes boring to play after 10-15 games. (Sorry any english errors)
