Key combo
Power spike & playstyle
Old GP is a lane-bully who spikes with Parrrley farm gold and Trinity Force; poke early, use global ult for map pressure, scales into a bruiser.
How to play Gangplank in League Classic
Classic GP is a crit-Parrrley economy machine. Q last-hits give bonus gold — use it on every minion you can't safely melee, and poke the enemy laner with it between waves. Oranges cure any CC, so you're one of the safest tops into gank-heavy games. Your global ult wins fights you're not even in: watch the map constantly and drop it on any skirmish, dragon fight, or gank the moment it starts. Late game, crit Parrrleys chunk carries for half their HP from safety.
