The issue with deny plank vs. non deny plank is the fact that focusing on harassment... Well, you can be countered. Toss on a bit of armor? Parrrley's not so strong anymore. Scepters to take the damage back or hp/5 items or potions. Or simply harass gangplank back, likely harder and force HIM to recall. Deny plank couldn't be countered simply because it was using a mechanic that couldn't be affected by the enemy team. That's why it was so much stronger; it gave the same results as a flawless lane (zoning your opponents, carefully managing last-hits etc.) without the chance to make a mistake.
