Well, Powder Keg needed some nerf in early game; By Level 2, you could do around 150 dmg with Parrley+Keg and refreshing your passive for further damage against champions. However, I do find the scaling damage is a bit low at later levels. But let's make some maths (excluding runes/masteries) see how much damage you can still do against champions:

Level 18 Gangplank Base Damage: 107 AD

Bonus Damage from Items (example Build)

Trinity Force, Infinity Edge, Bloodthirster, Last Whisper: +230 AD, 35% Armor Penetration.

Parrley Damage + Trinity Force's Spellblade: +334 Damage.

Powder Keg: +80 damage, 50% Ignore Armor.

Total Damage: 671 Total Damage with 67,5% Armor Penetration.

I didn't include runes/masteries (too many variables) and this amount of damage is not crit. With this nerf, it will be the end of 1k Powder Keg Damage but can still do around 700-800 Damage. And don't forget your passive at Lvl 18, using the above values: 200 +276: 476 Bonus True Damage. Gangplank will still be viable even nerfed.
