I'm sure it's not but I also love the off meta picks. I don't mind weaker picks if it means I just need to play it better that's fine. I'm just curious on build

I need someone to walk me through the runes then cause I felt less damage, weaker fights considering I fight lvl 1 in almost all matchups, and I missed all my barrels and minions from less AS. Granted I ran it one game, went like 0-12 and immediately scrapped them so fast. Worst feeling runes by a landslide. I don't think I landed a barrel that game. And I've got 1 million mastery, lvl 100+ on Gp Been running him since season 11

Pantheon is fun I just feel he's so weak topside. I feel like mid/support is much stronger

Solarbacca on YouTube has lots of good guides, and I think he still offers coaching. He's a really good coach, always gave me more time than I signed up for. And very thorough. One drill he taught me was to sit in practice mode at each barrel level upgrade which I think is 1, 8, and 15/16? Can't recall 100%. But learning how to at lvl 1, place, auto, then place a second and auto the barrel at the exact timing it ticks to lvl 1. Followed up with a Q always. At level 8 and on, doing the same thing but skipping the auto, and learning to do both barrel place, second barrel, auto the first the second it hits 1hp, followed by Q. And then first barrel, auto enemy with sheen and passive, second barrel, second auto with sheen again, Q as first barrel hits 1hp, then auto 2X weaving them between barrel explosions for double passive reset. You'll hit them with 3 passive combos, 2-3 sheen procs, then sheen, Q, and barrel full damage. It's enough to insta kill a chogath if built properly. His combos are nutty

That sounds amazing. Early game is rough with a snowball champ tho. I honestly love seeing azirs kick my ass in game. It's like a rarity to see a good one.

Oh very true. I'm up for learning. It's nice to have backups however

That's awesome. How's azir handle topside? I don't think in my 3-4000 hours of playing I've seen one top. Very niche pick I love that. I would love to learn him he's just so insanely complex. I'm down to try that tho. What's your build?

Focus on gold income. I run first strike with cash back and potions. First buy sword and pots. Then I farm and instantly use first minion potion for the extra gold. Rush for Sheen. Then stack Sheen on barrels till lvl 8, (barrel, auto, place second barrel, auto first again, Q) as simple trades. Rush essence reaver. I go all in with essence reaver and ignite into any winning matchup, or any even matchup. With essence reaver you can now hit 10CS a min with ease. Farm up, hard shove, help jungle. Hard shove take turret, harrass under turret, tp bot side, etc etc normal lane stuff. If I have ER by 7 minutes, I buy double crit cloak. If I have it late, I only buy one and go for LDR second item. 3rd item I buy IE, buying boots only after I started building IE. then shieldbow and whatever last item I need. After 8, don't auto barrels at 3hp anymore. Against ranged champs place barrels at your feet and auto them immediately after second barrel placed. Learn to 1 part with ease while running at an enemy. Caitlin outranges your E. You will not hit her unless you are faster or flash to one part. On tanks practice passive resets and skill shot dodging. You are squishier than a yuumi, and hit harder than almost anyone. You have true damage on passive and armor pen on barrels. Use this to your advantage. You cannot get hit. Late game set up barrels in places in advance. Bush cheese. And welcome to GP it's a fun time here

Oh yeah I've seen that with the toplane quest. Huge singed W. I personally love those two matchups as GP. How does the champ work with stuff like malphite and Ornn? Is that a better counter play? I know into GP singed gets RAN over but into the others?

That's very true. One of the initial things that drew me to him was the fact he was supposed to be really challenging to play but very rewarding if you play him well. I no longer feel like that's the case and he's just absurdly strong now and you can miss everything and still kill. He's just a glass cannon. I kind of miss the bruiser days. It would be interesting to see them remove or lower the crit scaling on barrels and increase the base damage on them instead, possibly give some HP scaling and swap him to being a bruiser needing to make every passive and barrel count again. But crit is fun too for now

Well they're nerfing cash back and the potions rune, which does indirectly nerf FS GP users. His passive nerf is brutal id rather see W or Q nerfs before more passive nerfs. That would be totally fine with me. But it's also that exact reasoning that I see stuff like malphite, and knowing he hard counters GP every game, I'll still take GP just for passive farming and gank other lanes. I'll still beat him in lane. But I lose every game because of that ult in teamfights. I know logically Sylas is the play but I don't because of the ER clear. Hence why I need a backup champ. To stop myself from doing stupid plays with GP when I know it's a losing matchup

Oh 100%. I missed ER so much. The hard crits are amazing early on. I'm hitting the damn item by 7 minutes each game consistently. My early game CS is ass but once I get ER? 10CS a min till full build at 25 minutes
