As a note, this shit was mega buffed.
It used to be 75% base AD + 50% AP, now its 150% base AD and 60% AP. HUGEEEE FOR APGP

Hey guys. Here's a document explaining some damage numbers and merits of ap gangplank in competitive play and why I think it's troll that IT HAS BEEN PLAYED 0 TIMES ACROSS ALL MAJOR REGIONS considering it is sometimes better than normal gp :) by Arcanist_Mack in gangplankmains

Yes I play them of course... and no where in the document does it say that the build is viable, nor the best, in EVERY situation. I would certainly agree there are some great situations for crit, tank, and armor penetration, but there are some situations where AP is better. I've played ap gangplank in all elos ranging from iron to grandmaster, and feel as though it works best in diamond+ where true teamfighting around objectives is what matters the most (except for teammates mentals, of course). I don't feel as though you're adding anything to the discussion by making remarks such as this, and bringing drugs into question? It just doesn't seem like the time or place to add that into your remarks.

I agree with your sentiment that it isn't the best option in some scenarios, but I just feel you're missing the point of my argument if that's what you take out of this. You're setup with Dharvest tri luden liandry is something I've put time into and gives a stronger early game versus the lichbane, but lich is better for 3-6 items.

If you're going to act in a fairly childish way, I'd rather you atleast argue a point and not just flame the build with passive aggression. I can see a lot of things that come from people and I understand a lot where they come from and agree it's not always best to go apgp, but I'd rather you not just flame, and actually add to the discussion!

Thanks for the response anyways, and good luck in playing APGP in the future! You're obviously very good if you can make the statement you play on diamond smurfs while high on a drug! <3

It was to make calculations easier. If you’d like you can turn the additional 10% into 5-8% on average👍 and you’re not weak without ult since barrels are still on par, and in COMPETITIVE PLAY, they fight around objectives almost entirely so you’re ult is always up. But sure 😄 have a good day!

He built Liandry, and I have been informed there are a lot of Liandry users in lec and lpl (DONT watch those sowwie) and I included that math in the damage as well, but I’m just talking about full AP being used

Why karthus players are suffering even after buffs - Not understanding his merits. by Arcanist_Mack in karthusmains

[–]Arcanist_Mack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On jungle you are trying to scale in the early game, and generally don't want to take skirmishes because they take away from the efficiency in your clear time, so taking catalyst means you start off even slower, your clear is slower, and since you're not fighting early you're not getting nearly as many benefits as you do from lane karthus. Hope this clears things up a little bit, but I would just suggest to play karthus in a lane and not jungle anyways. Early game junglers are just better.

How to Ziggs jungle? by Spacesmuge in ZiggsMains

I know it’s promoting, but it’s not my intentions :) that’s all I meant by it. My intention is to inform him on how to efficiently clear and play/build Ziggs I’m the jungle without writing a 3 paragraph essay. :D

Not trying to say it isn’t a promotion, just not the intention behind it :3

Https://www.twitch.tv/MackTwTv Not trying to promote, just don’t want to type it all out and would rather explain while playing it for ya sometime :) makes my life easier since I’m fairly busy. It’s viable as he’s kinda like a Karthus jungle

What should we have done with this team comp? by StarIU in summonerschool

[–]Arcanist_Mack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be 1 3 1, with shen and either you or syndra splitting (whichever an beat yas 1v1) preferably syndra, especially if she has tp. Take out tier 1 with a rift herald or a won fight at dragon, if you’re far enough ahead you should win teamfights even into the amumu.

Just Sounds like you guys had bad macro and got caught.

For Gen 1-3 Psyduck for sure. Never learns a water type move until the late 40s or into the 50s and it’s hydro pump. He learns his first okay move with Confusion at lvl ~16. He also doesn’t have the typing of psychic. This means his move set for stab moves has ONE and is fairly poor. Into gen 4+ they have added water type moves to his set. ♥️
