GP has to play like a complete bitch in most of his matchups until he gets enough levels in Q or W (depending). He should almost never be anywhere near close enough to trade at level 1~4, he should be focused on farming and surviving. You trade 1 lasthit for 1 Q o.O Pantheon can spear every lasthit gangplank makes if Pantheon positions correctly | ||

You can Q sure, but when it's on CD you have to go into melee range to do the rest, and any AD/Support worth their salt will punish you like crazy for that. Most 1v2 laners don't get that much cs until the wave gets to your tower. GP can get almost as much cs in a 1v2 lane as say Elise or Rumble or Renekton or Shen which are picked into a 1v2 every so often. Once it's at your tower, csing is easy. He lacks waveclear, sure, but we see junglers coming into the 1v2 lane to help waveclear to hold the tower more often than not. Post-6, he can basically shut down any push from anywhere on the map. | ||

He's great if you're in the mood to afk farm until 2-3 big items, but sometimes you want to, you know, actually play the game. | ||

Get a clump of minions, group them up, deal dmg to them all, Parrrley the one in the middle, collect like 100 bonus gold and gain 200 mana, easy~ | ||

Decent poke, if they have a team of squishies and you catch 2-3 of them in a Shiv + IBG empowered Q you can really decimate them, but still. | ||

I remember it working out pretty well, SotEL really helped in letting his ult hit harder with the burn. I think I tried LW but it was sort of lackluster and eventually rounded the build out with shiv and either a dmg item or tank item depending on what the team needed (and probably cdr boots i dun remember) | ||

Honestly, Iceborn is probably better for doing the same thing, particularly since Parrrley still uses the melee version of on-hit effects, meaning you get the melee Iceborn proc at range, and you still get the multiple gold/mana restore effect just the same. | ||

Hell, I would take a lot of underfarmed 1v2 champions over a decently farmed 1v2 GP. Out of curiosity I would like to hear which champions can't 1v2 and are severely hampered by it. As far as I can see, there are very few champions that were good 1v1, not good 1v2, and played competitively. Even MegaZero and ZionSpartan have made Riven work, and I remember when they debuted that pick that Jatt didn't think they would survive at all. | ||

I feel like its a crutch, but it helps scrubs like me (who play like support/ jungle) out a lot. Browsing through probuilds.net, it seems as though many do. I personally like the mastery not only because it makes last hitting easier, but also because the larger last hit window allows your movement to be more unpredictable. | ||

Irelia and Jax aren't played much anymore specifically because of the 1v2 situation (the S2->S3 changes also, but 1v2ing in particular has made them cry). Darius, and a couple others I'm forgetting. | ||

Problem about him is that you have to wait too long for him to get items to be somewhat relevant. Anyways he's getting outclassed in pretty much any roles he could fill. :< I tried playing him a bit in the jungle with the usual locket/aegis build and its somewhat ok, but same as top lane, you have tons of champ that fills the spot better than him. | ||

He was afk farming for 20 minutes (except to kill dragon with his ult, or to take mid farm when I go gank). Any fights he was involved in was usually on the way to another jungle camp, where he comes in towards to end for the kill secure. Comes in at the 25 min mark for first true team fight and smacks their diana for half her health.

I feel like even when they were played, it was predicated on the "survive under tower longer than the other guy" strategy so your ad+supp pushes down the tower faster than you lose yours, then swap to a 1v1 lane. | ||
