Try Sheen proc Parrrleys. Once you go Sheen, you never go back.

and upgrade it for a Iceborn Gauntlet
I know it doesn't get you speed, but hey, AoE damage + shiv proc => clear a minions wave in a parley, with bonus gold for every creep ? you're gonna love it.
And your team too, when teamfights come and you deal your damage to every ennemy, slowing em !

Triforce is actually an eventual goal with a speedplank, usually. I think. TT, so far, I've been going boots->shiv->boots of swiftness (game usually ends around here)->zephyr's blade (at which point slows, at least, can screw off. Poor ashe.)->something else, usually starting to build toward tri if it reaches that point. I'm willing to sacrifice a single item slot to sanity (i.e. without movespeed), but not two

Other current thought is to slip a tiamat (or maybe iceborn, sure) in there somewhere, toward the goal of farming like, entire waves with a single parrrley. Adding AoE/multihit really seems to boost parrrley's effectiveness, honestly. Extra gold aside, potentially turning it into a mana generator is all kinds of awesome. Wouldn't be a speedplank at that point, but ravenous/iceborn/statikk could make for shenanigans. Ridiculously expensive shenanigans, but still. Do think it'd regulate you to a somewhat more support-y role vs. enemy champions, but... that's kinda' okay. GP can do that via the slows (fairly weak, but also very constant) and the E/R. Parrrley'd still hurt like a whatsit and I'm not entirely sure what else a GP needs, ha.

Wow, Gambit just demolished SK, especially the second game. Insane stuff. You can view the vods here :
http://leaguepedia.com/wiki/Riot_League_Championship_Series/Europe/Season_3/Spring_Playoffs

Especially funny was seeing two people from SK flash away from just Genja in the dragon pit, when he went by to see if it was taken.

edit : Also fun to note that Gambit are the only team to have won on the red side in the EU playoffs so far.

reedit : SO MAD ABOUT THE EU PLAYOFFS FINAL. SO GOD DAMN MAD. INEXPLICABLY MAD ABOUT VIDJAGAMES. ARGH

PATCH NOTES

*reading reading readin--*

... wait a tic. Who the hell is Quinn? Did I completely miss them putting in a hero or somethin'?

[frostshotgg]

I can't tell if that's a passive aggressive snark at how underwhelming quinn is, or if you were legitimately unaware.

EDIT: Oh man that tiger stance change... Poor, poor landyr. I got many a first blood with him.

[Frumple]

I was legitimately unaware Quinn existed. Those patch notes were the first time I've noticed Quinn's existence.

[Jopax]

Well other than the neat idea and awesome intro music Quinn was pretty meh, just kinda poof after her free week, seen maybe two or three of them :S


Also, is it just me or is BotRK Fotm now? Everything doing AD damage is building it, even Shens are building it! WHY!?!?


Edit:

Also loving the shit out of the Freljord event if it turns out to be something similar to how we got Ionian boots. This might herald the return of bigger lore involvement into the game which cannot be a bad thing, also letting players directly influence that is even more awesome

Damn it. Now I want to try AoE Parrrley Gangplank.

This is hilarious, but somewhat understandable. She was decently popular right after release, but I haven't seen her in a while. If you weren't around for her loading screen, I could totally see not knowing she existed.

Only time I've ever tried building BotRK was once on Vayne, and it went horribly. I'm guessing it would have gone horribly no matter what I'd built, but that Thresh did not give a damn about my slightly more rapid silver bolts.

I see it on a lot of other Vaynes, though, so I do wonder if I'm doing it wrong. It just seems like an expensive harass item rather than something you'd want on a carry, though.

[Cthulhu]

At least when I played that seemed to be a pretty regular occurrence.  Sejuani, Viktor, Ziggs, pretty much every champ released around that time poofed within days and only came up again on free weeks.

I keep getting tempted to play League, but I think Dota 2 killed it for me.  I just can't bring myself to play a game that makes you pay for champs when there's another game with way more interesting champs that are all free.

[Angle]

BotRK has been changed a lot over time. It's gone from trash to treasure and back at least two or three times, so the time at which you tried it makes a big difference. As for Quinn, I really like her, but she's hard to use in teamfights late game. Hopefully these changes will change that.

[Frumple]

Damn it. Now I want to try AoE Parrrley Gangplank.

One thing I've tentatively settled on in relationship to that is to definitely not get iceborn first. Shiv as your first multi-hit seems ideal, as the crit chance (including for parrrley, of course) and crittable proc has been feeling pretty brutal when you first get it, and the extra movespeed lets you leverage that well. Iceborn's... just got stats in a lot of places you don't really need at that point, especially the mana (and I'd probably argue the armor is excessive for a first major item pick), and while it helps with sustain/tankiness a bit (via armor and citrus AP boost), GP doesn't really seem to need much of that early on. Shiv's also a good 750 gold cheaper. Shiv and iceborn together do pretty much just melt creep waves, though, and the extra slow's nice vs. champs.

Next go I have at it, I'll probably take shiv then tiamat, methinks. Iceborn can come later, if at all.

Now I'm suddenly wondering if malady's a thing you'd stick on an AP/hybrid GP, hrm. It'd let you get a bit extra offense out of your AP for parrrley and normal whacks, after all... would help funnel some of that AP towards common use offense instead of sustain and the ult.

PATCH NOTES

Those ADC Thresh buffs. So nice. So very nice.

[javierpwn]

I frankly don't like the new trundle model, I like his old one better! At least I get a free legacy skin out of it.

[Jack_Bread]

I just had this intense game.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We were getting destroyed repeatedly and were pushed to our inhibitor turrets. Out inhibitor at mid was actually destroyed, too!
But despite getting murdered a lot, we somehow managed to pull through for a victory.
Also, I stole a lot of kills from Fiddlesticks near the beginning on accident. :0

I actually played this game to test out how recording League would go for me on my new laptop. It went well. I'll post a link to the video once it's done uploading, if anyone's interested.

EDIT: Here it is. It's an hour long and Youtube messed with the quality, unfortunately.

 I'm watching it! So far fiddlesticks died about 5 times, and said "KS" about 3 times in the first 15 minutes - well done putting up with that. Looks like you kept a cool head and carried the game.
