I still say he is somewhat balanced, his passive may do meh damage but I think it fits because it slows the enemy. Sure I wouldn't argue with small updates since nobody ever argues about buffs to their champion (exept Vlad players because each buff means 3 nerfs for each one lol).

A lot of things are changing in season three and it is very difficult to say where gp will be after that. You could say he is a lot better with items like Blade of the Ruined king being added. Or you could say he is worse because HoG is being removed and GA is being super nerfed. Both of which are really good items for him.

In addition, he still has to worry about some of his best items being extremely expensive. Trinity force and IE. All in all, so far his build seems to be getting shakier at best.

If he really gets that bad I'm sure riot will buff him. He is in no position to be nerfed at the moment so unless an item makes him completely broken he'll be fine.

I can see you going Mercs, Trinity, IE, GA(if nerfed too much Aegis/Randuin's), Bloodthirster/Blade of the Ruined king (I think blade has too little stats), and Maw. But again this is all speculation as we don't even know what masteries or other items will be available. It is entirely possible these items could buff Gp as much as it is possible for gp to need buffs because these items are not enough.
