So... Not played unless his numbers are OP?


Currently, there aren't a lot of good splitpushing top laners (and Shen is pretty slow). I think GP will be a nice addition.

Furthermore, his laning phase is probably excellent for competitive since he can farm using Q and his Q gives him extra gold.


I think when compared to Jax/Irelia and other splitpushing tops, you are describing an OP champion executing a Riot-disfavored strategy (splitpushing).


Irelia and Jax can split, sure, but they also struggle with laneswaps.

GP has a ranged Q that allows him to handle laneswaps better.

It does the same damage as Parrley, with some kind of bonus armour pen.

Exactly...you are describing an OP champion (for competitive). There are no tops that handle laneswaps and can splitpush. The closest would be Heacarim, whos splitpushing is really not that great, his laneswap resistance is from good jungling, and he is susceptible to both ganks and lane bullies.

Including whether or not the attack crits. Which can be a lot of damage. I wonder if it includes sheen damage too.

Well, Yorick is not that good right now, and I think Olaf is stronger as a jungler.

Don't forget GP also has a global ult which seems to do quite a bit of damage. It's not as good as Shen ult, but it IS a global ult so he can make an impact instantly regardless of whether or not he has TP.

The answer is very yes. Basically, whatever physical damage your attack does, the barrels explode for that damage + the 60% armor ignore + the barrel extra damage vs champions. As a result Triforce is easily the best first item for damage that you can get. Your EV for barrel damage is a little higher than IE while being far more consistent and you get all of TF's other benefits which feel really good on GP. I find that after sheen/triforce farming becomes really easy and you make tons of bank. TF's insane clearing power does falls off later if you build tank but if you do go at least one more big AD item your clear is never too bad. Hydra lets you save barrels for fights tho.

Parley damage, plus 200 base and penetrates 60% armor. Includes crits and Tforce, possibly Hydra damage?

His lategame teamfight presence will be insane. Seems his only weakness will be an early reliance on getting farm for ult upgrades.

It's operating under the presumption that Riot wants splitpushing to be countered early by lane swaps, and that a champion avoiding that is somehow instantly OP by design, for some nonsensical and very broad reason.

Yup, I'm the insane one for noticing how they made T2 and T3 turrets nearly impossible to splitpush against an equal farm opponent.

Riot just changes everything. They don't have some crusade against splitpushing they just want things to be different at different points in time. They buffed the hell out of Teleport which is the splitpushing summoner and the last two things that happened to Jax were buffs. They also nerfed laneswaps (supposedly the counter to splitpushing) by making turrets more resilient to early pushes and at various times have nerfed everything in the game from poke to wombo to sieging to ADC damage to sustain. There's no overarching conspiracy against any one type of play, only change.

They've actively made it 'easier' to splitpush in recent times though.
