Yarrr! Gangplank Rework details.

Posted on at 4:55 PM by Moobeat


Guinsoo has dropped a few factoids, on Twitter, about the current Gangplank rework. Gangplank has been a notorious character for his ability to deny opponents minion kills. Wanting to move away from this tasteless practice, Riot has tweaked a few of his abilities and increased his power level. You can check out the changes in the picture below, screen capped from his official Twitter.



Phreak also  chimmed in on a repost of Guinsoo's tweets, giving us a little more information.
"Was in a game with new Gangplank today. He carried for our team.

New ultimate works really well. Sadly it "looks" like a nerf on paper, but in use it's a ton more powerful.

I didn't know Parrrley got shorter CD/less damage. This does help it farm minions better, make him more consistent in fights, and less "lol I crit you for 1k" which I like."

    The denying definitely had to be changed, extra speed for denying? Was BS. We'll have to see, but based on what's been said, I don't think I'll like the changes.

    This was the first champion I ever tried. Couldn't get the hang of him, may need to give him another shot.
