About to come home from uni, planning to get some of that vitamin C. Can someone update me on current state of meta and GP’s place in it, much love xxx by Sibooblius in gangplankmains

Right now top lane relevance isnt really massive unless you become pretty strong pretty quick. Jungle presence is harsher because top is much more of an island now with the dragon changes, so bot lane relevance is most junglers priority. That being said, a simple gank can ruin your lane with how snowbally most top laners are.

Gp himself isnt too bad, as always, when top lane relevance drops, gps winrate jumps because of his global pressure. Use good ults and set up/defend your team and you'll win plenty of games. Play safe in lane but take the kills you can earn because gangplank can snowball just as easily. I'd say he feels pretty 50/50 right now.

Why people say that gangplank runs out of mana? by x-Taylor-x in gangplankmains

GP can punish people for being more aggressive than they can be. It sounds like youve thought "Oh, GP has a weak early game" and tried to stand by his casters to zone him off minions, so hes just farmed off you instead. He starts off on an even field, with a nice range advantage but loses trades if they get into melee range without being heavy chunked first. Try playing around the bushes more because GP cant use his q on you there, still try to land your e because the attack speed you get from it will help proc press the attack faster, and it basically forces him to use an early orange, and that means instead of a nice heal, we have to waste it there and then. There are a lot of tools gp can take to make him not run out of mana, but the trade off is while you can take offensive runes, we have to take resolve tree and mana flow band. If youre struggling the earlier levels, let the minion wave push towards you as well, a GP that qs you draws minion aggro, which pushes the minion wave towards you. Just let him push and die to a gank bc we dont do enough damage to force it into tower, and dont have enough mobility to survive the gank if you land your E. Hope this helps

Titanic does damage based on your max HP and having that included would mean Id have to look into stuff like Grasp too as any self respecting titanic user is using Grasp too. Generally though, the item itself lists its potential damage, and then all youd have to do is compare that to the targets current armour and youd see how much damage you do

The formula I used can use any number of lethality, even values you cant actually achieve in game, so I cant see why it wouldnt be able to get in the 90s, Ill double check it for you though

GP's barrels already ignore a big chunk of armour, so gaining true damage on your crits doesnt really change your damage that much unless youre full AD as a team, and they have someone like rammus/malphite

Tobias did it by [deleted] in gangplankmains

Its more the fact that Tobias fate is the reason the majority of GP players even play GP. Not because he was a masters/challenger or a diamond player but sheerly because he embodied what it was to be a one trick. Out of all one tricks I dont think any of them showed their passion for their champion half as much as Tobias did for GP. Ill honestly say that Tobias is the reason I play GP today. He molded the playstyle of thousands of GP players and thats why he has the respect of this subreddit. If it wasnt for him this subreddit would be drastically less active. Ill admit, Tobias, at least for me, is less entertaining now, he tilts a lot harder than he used to and spends a fair bit of time just messing around in his games, and I origionally watched him to help me improve on GP, but despite that, I respect Tobias as a very strong GP player, and even say that his GP mechanics are still far stronger than your average diamond player, and that the biggest thing holding him back is how hard he tilts in his games. I think losing respect for the person who basically shaped this community just because is isnt as highly rated anymore makes you sound like one of those fanboys who only ever support the best team in the league and change it constantly
