No. GP has just become way to weak to counter anything imo.

Can GP deal enough damage to kill a non-noobish-glasscannon-kass? No.

Can GP dash/blink/get HUGE MS? No.

In fact, with a decent build that isn't all about insane damage with Q and dropping at the first hit, GP just does nothing.

GP gets no Atk Speed steroid that even many normal melee Champs get (Nocturne etc.), no life saving ult (Tryndamere etc.) nothing.

Only way to build him now is as a bruiser, but you'd still be more squishy than a more offensive build Garen and deal less damage than a full tank garen. Not to mention Darius and others. With the nerfed crit items, it might actually be best to play him as tanky AP with lichbane... at least your oranges would heal something, your ult would be more than a slow and your Q would stay more or less the same. and the AA don't really count anyway... :/
