He's gonna get a rework. Not a huge one. he's going to get his E reworked mostly so it doesn't give away free stats like it does currently. The ult will probably get tweaked and the rest will probably go unchanged. he's a Melee carry so he's not supposed to be a tank. His heal is his form of damage mitigation that many melee carries have an equalivant too.

The problem from what I can tell is that too much of his damage is actually wrapped in his Parrley and AP Gangplank offers too much sustain (they are going to nerf that, I hope you are ready for that reality) and his passive is a side thought and offers more utility than real damage. Same with his ult. It's a global execute but it's not reliable or strong.

Top lane is still dominated by bruisers so you better be one badass pirate.
