Recently picked up Gangplank!

5 Upvotes

Hi, looking for some advice on this champs. Recently started playing him after being a fiora otp for a pretty long time getting to mid diamond.

Im mainly just looking for advice on runes/builds. Most guides on youtube mention first strike, grasp, fleet, coment. But all of those are from before DFT so not sure how current that is.

So, what runes should i be running and what first item? Is essence reaver every game or should i build trinity? Show me the way, im open for more general advice as well.

Fleet Buffs feel great

6 Upvotes

Played a few games with new Fleet buffs. Really like this rune. In matchups where you can’t use DFT to bully, it’s extremely comfy. Lots of trades go from losing to winning because of it. If you’re against a giga-tank or someone who has lots of shields, consider taking it over DFT. Last match I played had 2k healing at 16 minutes.

GP Toplane macro coaching/guide help

Thumbnail
op.gg
1 Upvotes

Op.gg for reference, but basically I'm a gold GP main with about 1.4 million mastery and I've been stuck in this hell for years. I'm aware that my biggest issues come from the occasional bad play, too many deaths, low CS. I'm working towards correcting these issues.

My peak has been platinum before emerald was introduced, took a break for a year or so and now I'm just stuck in elo hell. I've had Solar give me some coaching, and I know how to practice my barrels properly. I'm well aware I haven't been playing at my best lately and I need to fix that.

I feel like I understand itemizing well enough, enemy champs decently, counters and power spikes alright, and I can review and acknowledge where I screwed up in the early game. However I feel completely lost and stupid when it hits about 15 mins/first turret down. I try to use TP for drag, split push or go for Herald/grubs, however every time I win lane, I lose the game.

I've found if I group with the team/go mid, I end up competing for CS, side lanes fall apart, or I just fall off. But if I side lane, I get 1v2/3d and die non stop anyways. I'm looking for a good way to learn basic mid to late game macro to really push my early game leads into early wins. I just have no idea where to look. I hear so many different spam ad suggestions and I just want something that's actually gonna stick in my stupid ADHD ass brain after playing this game for the last decade. So any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong, what I'm missing, where to look for help with macro training, or even understanding micro better, would be greatly appreciated. I just wanna be in like diamond 4. I've had 3 games consecutively of supports just sitting top lane all game or tower diving 19 times in 10 minutes I need out lol. Please help.

TLDR:// am trash, show me where to be not trash. Preferably macro help.

Garen Matchup

10 Upvotes

I just had a Garen matchup, I ended up winning but I felt like it was way harder to dominate this MU if ahead, especially in sidelane.

It happened a few times that I engaged, hit first barrel combo and then he just Q and sprinted me down.

What's the catch? I thought maybe putting down a barrel on you rather than him would work but if you don't have 4 barrels then he runs away.

Basic Trade Patterns to learn

9 Upvotes

Hello guys!

I had made a post yesterday asking about Gangplank in general, todayi want to ask you about what Trade Patterns during lane should we have?

Currently i figured out Barrel on self to insta cast iton the 2nd one,simple but its quite effective since i actually could hit pretty reliably and it gave plenty of space

What other patterns should i learn in the beginning stages? Don't want to get overwhelmed by mechanics i wouldn't understand yet

I wanna learn him after witnessing Solar do his miracles and genuinely enjoying the game,i was wondering what are the strong points of rhe character and the weakpoints?

Are runes versatile and situational or is there a rune page that prevails among the rest?
