What's wrong with critplank? Critplank is lol. I mean I probably would have gone Atmog's before Triforce but w/e.

Re: League of Legends

I don't know builds for 3s (since it's a shitty type huehue), but if that build was on a solo top GP he wouldn't be able to win his lane.

How do you build gp?

Re: League of Legends

I don't play him often, but when I did try out solo top GP I built him as more tanky. I usually started with a HoG or Philo to help stay in lane, follow with Merc Treds, AtMogs, then defense as needed (usually a FoN/Banshee's or a Sunfire.

Re: League of Legends

He does oom really hard early game. A Philo stone is probably necessary. It just feels like a waste to not take advantage of that crazy early damage. I like your build fine but I'd probably build a BF sword early if I could afford it and upgrade it to an IE later on. IMO, gp needs IE.

Re: League of Legends

You do realize that if you build critplank you can pretty much force anybody out of their lane, right? Like with 1 q you can shatter their dreams. It's kinda like forcing someone out with Olaf's e, only you don't have to get all up on them to do it. You aren't one of those people that assumes any build outside the norm is awful, are you? I'll admit metagolemplank has his perks, but you can easily carry a team as critplank. You can two shot their carry practically the whole game if they aren't bright enough to build some modicum of defense.

That could work too. It's just that I usually prefer going tanky if I solo top despite what character I play.

I actually used to counter CritPlank pretty hard as Fizz. He would crit me once with his Parrley, I would dash in and get my stuff done. Plus, CritPlank is fairly easy to gank.

Also, I'm really not one of those people. I just haven't had good experiences with people on my team building crit and I've had nothing but good experiences against people building crit. My friend goes 5 Doran's Rings on Sona pretty regularly, although he doesn't hurt as much as he did before the power chord nerf (which Morello promised they weren't going to touch).

Well there are definitely counters to him, not suggesting crit's better, only that it's as viable as a metagolem build. If you're worried about ganks just ward up and be smart.

Re: League of Legends

Buying wards will make you much less gankable. Of course building tanky will help, but you shouldn't be extending anyway. The way critplank works, a quick Parley/Ignite is enough to kill a half-health character. It doesn't require you to spend a lot of time chasing them. And I feel like if you're building gp tanky, you'd be better off playing Shyvana or Riven. They do that better.

EDIT: I realize a lot of people will scoff at a top without teleport, but GP doesn't necessarily need it because his ult is global, that can be enough to help in a teamfight during the lane phase.

lol had a game with fellow FFR players.. GP,Galio,Amumu,Karthus,Pantheon... we all ulti'd final team fight melted their team instantly LOL they quickly surrendered XD

I never said it wasn't viable. Many strange builds can be viable. Remember when Sunfires stacked? I was able to stack Sunfires and ult on people and win. I just like going with the builds that I've had better experiences with. Also, ganks happen despite wards. Chances are you're not going to able to ward the river, your tri-bush, and their lane bush consistently.

That's one of the main reasons I don't play GP. I mostly stopped playing solo top altogether since I work better as mid or AD bot.

Re: League of Legends

1 smart ward in the river is enough to prevent all ganks if you're smart enough
