Since Solo Top is my new home, I would like to experiment with Gangplank.

He has multiple steroids, with his E being the opposite of his passive. Since passive does dmg each hit, it is comparable to Warwick's passive, but the dmg component is stronger and it has a slow instead of a heal.

STEROIDS - Stacking (up to 3x) 21 magic dmg for 3 seconds, 7% Movespeed bonus, 16 attack dmg.

TEMPORARY STEROIDS - Note: replaces bonus Ms and AD. 7sec in 1200 radius AoE centered on self for 40 AD and 20% movespeed bonus, allies receive 20 AD and 10% movespeed bonus.!

In this respect, Gangplank has a 103 dmg steroids, split 63 magic and 40 physical, so I think that dmg will almost take care of itself as you level up, leaving you to build sustain since runes are optimal when used for bulk.

ArPen or Atk speed marks, Flat armor seals, Magic Resist/Lv glyphs and ArPen Quints seem optimal, as Gangplank lacks defensive steroids or atk speed and ArPen.

Masteries should probably go 21/9/0 or 9/21/0, depending on your tastes, grabbing Hp regen and resists as well as the 1 dmg reduction for sustain, as well as Lifesteal from Offensive tree

So, when it comes to building GP, he has a large item pool, and I would experiment with large amounts of Lifesteal and then tanky on GP, abusing ArPen runes to Lifesteal everything. With Atk speed marks and whatnot, it is possible to use lots of crit chance without using Phantom Dancer and still perform well.

Oh, and if I have not mentioned so, I will hope to experiment with Gangplank soon, because he seems to have great potential, for those who search, that is!
