Just finished my practice game with Gangplank. His Ult is pretty sweet, but relies a lot on rng chance so I can see how it can be either devestating, or completely useless. Hardest part to get used to is his early game. He's a lot more fragile and slower scaling than similar melee champs I've played. Of course if you can farm him to have enough crit chance he's one scary guy. Managed to make it to Infinity Edge, Atmos, Phantom, Last Whisper, Wooden Mallet, and Ionian boots. I chose them instead of Merc treads since it was a practice game, but it might be worth it to keep them. Being able to use your abilities even a small bit faster can mean the difference between life and death or getting a kill and not getting a kill. Also Red + Blue buff on him = Pwnage. I had a lot of fun, but I dunno how good he'd be in a normal game. I get the feeling I'd end up feeding the other team early game too much. Perhaps with some runes and a different mastery setup than my current one would help that, but for now, I think I'll stick to my more familiar champions.
