"This was confirmed a while ago here:"

There's nothing that confirms that riot won't be touching the rest of his kit in that link. They say they're keeping his ult global, that's it.

"He is a Melee AD Bruiser, somthing alot of people seem to forget. He sacrifices the power a usual ADC would have for all the utility his kit brings to the field."

If he was a real bruiser he'd get free scaling stats like armor pen, percentage hp damage (Xin, J4, Darius, or Vi) or have a kit that synergizes with building pure tank. As it stands he has neither.

I'm sorry, man, you can try to point out that everyone's wrong about GP and that only a select few elite really "get" him but he's in a bad spot because he's a strongly item dependant fighter with too many tools and too much unfocused power in his utility. This is why GP was ever only viable for a short time after his first big rework then nerfed into poop.
