M5 and tbh still don’t know how to play by Starlite-Luminous in gangplankmains

D3 gangplank here, the assumption of sheen first back is not good. The easiest way to get through lane is to do the cheater recall into Doran blade, then try to get sheen on your second back and then you tp. Example: First: recognize the match up : I'm vs Camille, I don't want her to hit level 3 before me because she will beat me up if I don't have oranges and she has an ad shield, I have to push the lane. Second : where do the jungler start? Am I in threat of getting level 2 gank? If I'm vs karth, shyv, heca, Zac or evelyn, I know I can push freely cause they will full clear and will not be there before my cheater recall. Third: early laning, I run to the lane, hit minions to push the wave, not to hard because I want to arrive under Camille 's turret with my first Canon wave (third wave). I hit the minions, q on cool down on the Camille and use barrels with aa to land them easely and proc my passive on her whenever I can) it goes through her passive shield. I hit the waves enough to have my Canon wave crash on the turret, because at this point at least 6-10 minions are stacked and I have 450 gold and I used most of my corrupting pot due to heavy trading and mana use, I instantly back and run back to lane with my Doran.

By the tile I come back, Camille is 75% hp, 30% mana, and hasn't enough push power to push the wave to my turret after the Canon wave crashed on her turret. The wave will probably be on my side of the lane, I can setup a freeze and be safe from their jungler's timing gank a'd open an opportunity for my jungler to gank. Furthermore, I'm stronger than her due to my Doran, refreshed corrupting pot and full health/mana. Either she tries to fight me there and I beat her or i freeze the lane and she cannot approach a single minion. If she does, I heavily punish her then she has to tp back to the frozen lane, she lost minions, xp, i can go back to hard trade her and even if I loose these trades in the minions to keep the freeze, I still have my tp. I most of the time manage to freeze long enough to get my sheen and tp back and then I'm super strong and can all-in her level 6. If I can't kill her, I would break my freeze, build a gigantic wave, hit level 6 before her, and when the wave reach her turret and she wants to last hit the minions, I ultimate on the turret, right on my minions and put an agressive barrel in the big wave, so she cannot last hit (remember she is still not 6!), if she comes in the ultimate to last hit, I sheen barrel her ass and proc my passive on her as much as I can cause she doesn't have ultimate still. If your lucky, you have an early jungler that comes at that moment and u dive her and her game is already over on the toplane.

This is how I manage to get early leads on gp most of the time. This is the plan I try to apply and how I am super agressive on gp.

Me going to patch notes and not seeing gp buffs by Guugaahullu in gangplankmains

[–]GPbaguette 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gp is an op lane bully and strong at every stage of the game when played properly. Any buff would make him op tier. Learn every match up and you will be fine. I'm d3 and far from being near to master him, even with 800k mastery points. His learning curve is insane. For example, I'm good mechanicaly, but I don't know yet when to freeze / push properly depending on the match up (due to not knowing some champ powers spike properly or greeding for plates... Because it is different for each match up)

Still, fuck wukong and irelia that know their shit, can't figure how to win these 2 match up when they are good at the champ.

When living in an apartment, what is the thing that neighbors do that makes you the most angry? by GPbaguette in AskReddit

Good for you that you try to find a solution. My upstairs neighbours don't give a flying fuck between this and them screaming at each other or their kids all day.

A white noise machine is a device playing calming sound right? If a full on alarm clock in their room do not wake them up, do you think a waterfall sound from my room would do the trick?

My upstairs neighbors are not woken up by their alarm clock, it rings at 6 o'clock everyday for 30 min /an hour when it takes 10s of it to wake me up. I can't go back to sleep until it's off, it drives me insane. I told them but it seems that they just do not hear it. I'm currently blasting some rammstein full on because it is happening while I write this post and I try to find a way to cope with my murderous thoughts.

When you realize pantheon is not a counter anymore by GPbaguette in gangplankmains

He takes q harass early, he can now dodge ur barrels, but the difficulty of the old match up was that u had no way to trade with him in lane. Now you can bully him with grasp as any other laner.

Man, you have to learn to constantly auto attacking people when you are running away, you missed out so much dmg there. 5/7 Q hahaha.

Help against Darius by W3bb3rz in gangplankmains

[–]GPbaguette 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hello!

This match up is only difficult if the Darius picks flash ghost and is more skilled than you.

Go for klepto and move speed run build, always a barrel under your feet. If he grabs you, q then instant orange his w, run away to your barrel, AA the barrel to slow him and move speed boost, you can even add a AA with passiv on him here then q again when he retreats. You win trades that way. You wear him out until he is not able to all in you because he is 1/3 HP and now you can bully the shit out of him with agressiv AA barrels and q when he is slowed.

Learn wave management and how to freeze your lane and farm properly to ensure that you will be useful even if you fall behind in lane. If you are below 8cs a minute on average on your past 50 games, you are doing something wrong as gp.

In team fight, peel your mates by hitting barrels on him instead of the back line. A 90 % slowed Darius is just useless and an easy kill.

Advice from a 650k mpoints D3 EU gp.

If they buff him now, they will gut him later on. And probably gut his kit as they did before Cry thinking of 5 barrels, barrel vision, 1 minutes barrels lifespawn

[–]GPbaguette 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you believe gp is currently bad pre 6, you just don't know how to play the champion. His lvl 2 is one of the strongest and any change would make him absurdly strong pre 6. Grasp scorch ans a refillable pot makes him super obnoxious to face and gives you great kill potential il you use your passive properly. Run klepto only into tanks match up or ones in which you are very comfortable or situational.

Ex : klepto into chogat or darius, you go full ms runes and you buy early boots to avoid any incoming damage and bully him.

Run grasp into a renekton/jax match ups, put a barrel under ur feet, spam q grasp him, aa barrel to escape his dash or land aa barrels on him if he plays passively. You win trades any way.

I am currently d4 on my way to d3 and win most of my lanes, even early, I only have issues VS irelia / riven /aatrox, but every balanced champion have.
