Way back in the day, the gold generation passive wasn't unique so you could stack 2 philos and have the same gold generation as stacking a philo+hog now. Back then every champion (except maybe AD carries) and their mother would go some stupid shit like 2 philo+hog or 2 hog+philo then build real items since that crap was crazy efficient, cheap, and reliable. The way he phrased it made it sound like the gp/5 nerf was reverted. In other words, I was going to do some philo/hog stacking on jarvan again. Unfortunately, gp5 are still unique. | ||

First picking gangplank apparently isn't appreciated yet won most of my games tho, being going mostly philo hog avarice glacial/cdr boots and then either mallet or maw or triforce. Laning top is still hard against most fotm picks, fping gp is kind of asking for trouble. i run my gp with crit reds, armor yellows, mr/lvl blue and gp10 quints. 9/0/21 is very very good on gp for a jewplank build (ms,mana,manaregen,gp10), if im starting blue or have a fear of getting lvl 2-4 camped i can pick up boots 3 pots and a ward thanks to the wealth mastery. just play like a bitch and get pushed, freeze at turret till u get nuf money for tabi and hog, i find that philo first leaves you very squishy early and with the recent mana buffs to parley i just focus on qing the creeps. it helps a lot to have a good jungler that can help u to push in people that try to freeze the lane at turret and zone you from cs as gp doesnt trade well vs most of the fotm toplane picks. hog -> tabi -> philo -> avarice -> phage into tf ga warmogs atma. the new parley simply works as 1.5 gp10 item if you can freely q spam the creeps. you need smart creepwave managment. i just love getting pushed in early, you are very very safe and the enemy laner is under a lot of pressure because of gps passive combined with a possible gank and if gp snowballs from this its really really ugly for the opponent i like the crit reds, it synergises with avarice and gps whole kit, some people will think twice about trading with you if they eat a q crit. it just preference, you can put here anything you want i feel. the worst thing that you can do is to get trigger happy on the enemy laner early and pushing the lane which opens u to ganks in the most important laning phase for jewplank. i played like this on multiple accounts spanning from unranked (love smurfing :3) to plat and found great success. while solo u seem to not put much pressure on top but you have global presence with the ultimate and if you can hit the 20+ minute mark you will come out very very strong | ||

I'll try your build but I don't see the point of crit runes since you're supposed to spam parrley on creeps, especially with support masteries. It lacks cdr also which is a bit annoying, no cdr = less q spam (=less money) and less utility from all your other spells... (especially ult). | ||

(especially ult). not a big fan of fh/cdr items on gp i must admit, have to give it a spin.the crit reds are mostly for the intimidating "back off" effect a q crit can have on people but as i said you can put anything on reds and be fine with this build (no gp10 reds ;_;). >no cdr = less q spam (=less money) money is the last problem u gonna have with this build lol | ||

 And what lane actually does counter GP? I've been practicing some Bankplank recently, and i feel he is super safe at lane. Trying to force him out when he has his TP, safe farming with Q, and oranges feels like a waste of time, and he supports ganks pretty well... I've been going 1-2 GP5, aegis -> trinity... Something that Kev1n did in the regionals, but have been thinking of some other builds too, maybe skipping that aegis, but with TP it just seems so strong if you get it, and TP into a fight. | ||

I found guide by theoddone (not updated for like half a year) and he seems to not pick him. I like Gangplank a lot better as a solo top champion, myself. The lack of any AoE damage on his base skills means his jungle clear speed isn't very good, his ganks are weak pre-level 6, and his role in a team later on is kind of suspect if he didn't get massive amounts of gold like he can when he's playing top lane. You can still play him as a jungler and he isn't terrible at it, but I feel there are a lot of significantly better choices so it's a bit of a waste for to put him in the jungle. | ||

You can still play him as a jungler and he isn't terrible at it, but I feel there are a lot of significantly better choices so it's a bit of a waste for to put him in the jungle. I'd say he is pretty bad at it. He can't really gank, and his clear really slow. Its not even like he has all sorts of objective control. Jungle GP just likely to get outfarmed, get outganked (because the other junglers clear time way faster, more time to gank... probably even have better ganks.). He used to be used a lot because all the top teams played this real passive style, although thats been replaced now by the korean style push comps and low econ games etc, and the last time he was really jungled a lot he had a much better E that raised his and his teams attack/movespeeed by almost twice as much (he also got some pretty substantial Mana nerfs, iirc), and the jungle itself was much harder to clear (monsters did more damage, had more life) so you kind of needed GP's W sustain in the jungle. Now however dont really need that much sustain for jungle and lots of champs that had rough times clearing before clear easily with AoE. GP really shines now a days as kind of a lategame tanky bruiser because his massive amounts of nerfs kind of hurt his early laning. He still really good at just maxing W, getting, and being a pain in the butt to deal with late game though, and that Ult brings a lot to the table. I've seen him being played 4 or 5 times in the last few months at a tournament level, but not really at all in Soloqueue, mostly because he just kind of out of style right now, and the quickly shoving towers is a big thing right now. | ||

I've been going Boots+3, Chalice, Mercs and its been working well so far but that could be due to bad players. Would stacking a couple Dorans be better? id go philo or something over chalice, but chalice might be okay. i think chalice was more key when you needed the mp5 to deny and use parley on minions. hog/philo avarice maybe? farm like fuck. | ||

And which skills lvl, max Q first? And any thoughts about jungle gp? I'm not sure about tiamat, but I know that the general consensus is that GP is a pretty bad jungle right now. His clear speed is low and his ganks are pretty weak, but he is capable of doing it....just sooo many better options that would help your team a lot more. | ||
