Look at those Trynd and Garen stats. LOLBrokenArrow wrote:

He purposely gets himself in Bronze 5 while he probably is someone from diamond 1. He duo's with someone for money, and carries the person he's duo-ing with. He avoids winning his promo's by playing garen and/or nunu and feeding hard.BrokenArrow wrote:

Playing duoq and carrying someone is not elo boosting, it's allowed. It sucks, but it's allowed.P r o m i s e s wrote:

Last time I checked he duo'ed with someone named "WeLoveYouTeoLite" and he was silver 3. He's now gold 5 lol
The fact that this made it to the front page and then was removed proves that the circle jerk is real.Sankaritarina wrote:

Also it could still be the fact that I still think Alex Ich is one of the biggest douches out there after what he did back in season 2 that influences that opinion.
He's at his best when enemy team is low on jump skills. Level one is still very deceptive and most players still can get baited by red pot. If you're planning a level one kill top lane, try to kill 1-2 minions of the enemy wave and not lose any of yours for the best results. His E is a massive buff for teams that need movement and autoattacking. Don't get baited by Q bonus gold, don't freeze the lane when you can roam and do something with your team or harass an opponent who's low on hp regen/lifesteal. His most efficient builds in my opnion are full damage (Shiv is one the best items for GP damage builds I highly recommend it) and high armor tank disruptor. Therefore I wouldn't recommend him against teams heavy on magic burst.Justykanna wrote:

Love the champion but things have just not gone well for me this season. =(
Dont harass with your q until you have your shiv just focus on DAT extra gold.Justykanna wrote:

I don't think he was as good as he was in the past.sades wrote:
How about Zed? Is he strong in the current meta?
I've actually noticed a lot of champions I see top lane have a jump of some form. Kha'Zix, Wukong, Renekton, Pantheon.TKiller wrote:

Soloq support GP is quite okay when you got a pick that can utilise your E buff well. If you're winning your lane and your adc is an okay guy, you can go for double Shiv rush.
That's all I can think of from the get-go.
Yeah, a friend of mine sent me a different link saying he was in progress but essentially told me the same as you did - it's done when it's done.Vulf wrote:

It's in the same boat as the Warwick rework. "It's done when it's ready". So it can be next month or next year before it's finished.
I use it to harass if I'm not having great difficulty farming with my auto attack - which doesn't happen terribly often. I watch my mana regardless.AnegoHC wrote:

I don't bother using it to poke against people with high sustian, yeah. Pantheon's obviously my greatest frustration.AnegoHC wrote:

If you play against someone who can sustain like hell (Aatrox for example) your q wont do much early
If you play against someone who cant sustain (Darius for example) you can try to safe harass them
If you play against someone who can block or absorb your q (Malph/Shen/Panth) Its just nonsense using your q
I know he's horrible in the meta, which is why I'm asking about some tips for him, here.Zeraph wrote:
top is all about lane matchup but gangplank is just horrible in the current meta. just farm up until you can buy a tiamat and just farm all day getting bonus q gold on tiamat splash is amazing.
there's a really good reason you don't see him played ever and only see like 3-5 champs up at top nowadays :>
Eh, not a fan of mages in general - much less top.Glass wrote:
if you want free elo right now, go play ryze top
thank me later
I really hope not. Jayce and Kennen was a pain to deal with last season. I like melee - hence why I like top. Soooooooooo that's gonna blow.Vulf wrote:
Yep ranged top (Ryze, Kennen, and Jayce) are coming back thanks to nerfs to items. Time to quit top lane again because that shit is frustrating.
it's hard to give general advice on how to play a champion for top especially as it's one of the most volatile lanes that can be changed completely based just off what champion matchup you have or if your jungler/their jungler is competent. you can tell people how to play a champion (give advice) generally on how to play the champion but if you get a weird matchup then the way you have to play it is completely changed.Justykanna wrote:

I know Tiamat's not bad but... first build?
I see more than five champions top these days (don't forget my rank is reasonably low at Silver) but just because champions are 'in' the meta, it doesn't mean I like them. I wanna play the champions I like, not necessarily the ones that are loved within the meta. Gangplank's my favourite and there's a reason I'm asking people for help - as I said before.
well it is happening, my last 5 games as top lane (in high platinum):Justykanna wrote:

Agreed. I've been completely leaving Gangplank out of action until I could get some advice on him.Zeraph wrote:

Yup, I've been good at the above points for the most part. I'm a passive player by nature, so playing it safe comes easy to me. Only problem is I use Gangplank as a damage dealer, not really a tank, so sometimes I should probably be more aggressive than I am.Zeraph wrote:
try only to use your q to last hit minions that are too risky to try to take when it's too risky.(you're somewhat low hp, they can kill you in a rotation+ignite) generally just play it safe, gangplank scales well into the midgame and drops down in the late game but makes up for it somewhat with utility coming from a massive aoe slow, single target slows with passive+q, and a team buff with W. when you're going into teamfights try to use the ulti a little further away from the team to block off exit paths rather than directly on top of them as you do lose damage potential by placing it right on top of them as a few of them will be able to run out easily because they won't have to walk into it and rather will be out on the edges of it.
I never actually thought of that. I'll keep that in mind.Zeraph wrote:
try not to use your e immediately as you get hit by your first cc but a little bit later so you can maybe avoid that one crucial cc to getting a kill or assisting towards getting a kill.
I actually haven't laned against any of those four except for one Gragas all season (though, Gragas and Akali are melee).Glass wrote:

Singed vs Ryze (one of the most retarded matchup possible, if you thought Singed vs Teemo is bad wait until you try this one)
I'd rather lane against unkillable tanks all day than lane against AP tops
