You need to think with your beard. A luck-based champion isn't manly at all. An ability that deals 1% more damage instead of having a 1% chance to deal double damage will still do the same damage on average. I only killed the randomnization of crit plank. A lot of summoners bought a a crit rune page for the pirate and I think that any pirate remake needs to make sure that these summoners don't get the shaft. The pirate needs to continue scaling with critical hits but he also needs to do stable damage in order to be more than a luck-based joke champion that is shun by definition from high level play. However I did lower the damage of individual gunshots to spread it over consequent uses of the ability. In this rework Gangplank can shoot 3 times in a row if he blows all his cooldowns at the same time. It makes him deal more burst damage in exchange of trading away the skills that he need to save if he wants to survive and escape from a fight that turns bad. It's an all-or-nothing attitude. The pirate currently has a shoot-and-wait attitude that isn't manly at all. Gangplank's manliness clearly need a buff.
