The rework wasn't to make him more balanced per se. It was to straighten out his kit and to give him more stuff to do than just parrley and run away.

There's more to his kit than just Q, his E doesn't give free stats to allies and allows for some more plays with an ability that scales into late game. There's also no longer a dozen different types of Gangplank. Now there's just one.

He's now on par with the other melee carries but in his own unique way which now is no longer a handicap.
