Gangplank

Not gonna lie to you guys, Gangplank is probably the easiest champion to use this free rotation. He can be built AD or AP, and has a good variety of abilities. Along with that, he pretty much has two passive abilities. The only issue with Gangplank is that he only really has single target combat capabilities besides his ult.

His passive slows down enemies on contact and does DOT (damage over time) magic damage. As if one or the other ones of these isn't bad enough.

Q is called Parrrrley (heh) and he shoots his gun and deals ranged damage. If he kills something with it, he gains extra gold (starting at 4 and going up to 8) and half the mana is refunded for the shot. The thing to remember about this ability is that it CAN crit and use any attack effects from items. at one point I think I hit over 1000 from a crit with his Q. It can get pretty dangerous so watch your health.

His W makes him eat some citrus fruit to heal him and clear all crowd control effects on him. So apparently if I have him slowed down and nearly dead, he can eat some oranges and get away. How that works out, I don't know. But it does. Anyway that ability heals more based on AP.

Gangplank's E increases his allies and his own attack damage and movement speed. This is great for chasing down enemies, especially after they get hit with his passive.

His ultimate ability creates a large circle on the map and rains cannonballs down in the circle. I don't know how the hell it decides when the champions get damaged by it, but somehow it works out. This ability also runs on AP, so it can get pretty nasty if that's how they decide to build him.

In my opinion using Gangplank is pretty cheap. He's a good champion but he's mostly target, click, and then chase down. nothing really skillful about any of it. He's good though, so I guess there's nothin that can really be done about it.
