He actually has the same playstyle as before, just a lot more interactive and consistent. Before you could poke in lane all day, but you had almost 0 kill pressure because of how low his burst was and how predictable Gangplank was.

Now he actually has moderate to high kill pressure on low hp targets because of how you can corner an enemy with a barrel and how fast you get with the passive. The barrels aren't the most reliable damage and slow in the world, but they can completely change your lane oppoent's play style. After he gets wrecked by a barrel he'll usually start playing super scared around them and pretty much let you slowly take over the lane. And when GP gets levels and items he becomes... well.. GP.
