Stretchy Arms Gangplank! TFT Set 15
Hey friends, I hope you're all doing well. Today, I'm going to share with you one of the two most powerful compositions in TFT Set 15, and you'll see the other one in the coming days. Riot's balancing team is really doing a terrible job, but sometimes I think they're doing it on purpose. Let's take a look at the Gangplank carry that made me think this way.

Yasuo paid us a visit and said that all three augments in this game will be gold.
Last Second Save is an augment added to the game in this set. It allows your champions to regenerate a certain amount of health when they fall below 35% health for the first time.
The early game was pretty good for me. I lost the first two fights but won the last three.
In my opinion, Teachers Council is normally a bad augment, but it is quite necessary in this composition. Because even if you find Udyr early in the game, you can't find Yasuo, or sometimes you can't find Kobuko. Even if you find all of them, you can't find Ryze. This causes problems when advancing your composition. This augment allows you to activate it regardless of the number of Mentors inside.
The mid-game was also quite good for me. I continued my winning streak. This means I earned extra gold. But I think this was not because I was strong, but because my opponents were weak. Because Gangplank was a 1-star for a long time and had no items.
I think you know what I'm going to say. Choose Pandora's Items augment for the best items. It sounds like a motto, lol.
Well, I finally managed to get Gangplank to three stars and gave him the right items. These days, getting Gangplank to three stars is like finding an oasis in the desert. Even Yasuo can be three stars earlier than him. As you can see, he's at the top of the damage chart. But he hasn't reached his full potential yet.
Let me show you how powerful the composition is. My opponent is level 10. They have a 2-star Varus carry, and their roster includes almost all 5-gold champions, yet they couldn't even come close to defeating me. This seems absurd to me. They should be able to defeat me very easily.
Of course, I easily defeated a Battle Academia composition. I don't know exactly what makes this composition so strong, but as you can see, I made two champions 3-star and gave them the right items. In previous sets, you needed to make 4-5 3-gold-tier champions 3-star to be this strong.
Finally! This is an absolute must for Gangplank. With the Stretchy Arms power fruit, this champion becomes extremely powerful because he gains 10% attack speed and gains 1 range when he kills a champion. This means that after killing a few champions, you can directly use his ability on your carry and kill them in one hit.
My opponent was playing a Smolder carry and had won the last 5 rounds. How do I know this? Because there's a flame icon next to their name. But despite that, they didn't stand a chance against me. Gangplank secured a few kills and took out the backline Smolder. The rest was child's play. A strong composition against compositions with a single carry.
I also want to mention something about the matchmaking system. In this game, sometimes two players don't face each other for 10 rounds. Or when there are only 5 players left, they don't match for 6-7 rounds because the matchmaking order changes as players die. This creates a significant unfairness. I'm using a strategy to have high health, but since my opponents aren't playing against each other, I end up losing and finishing third. This is ridiculous.
Anyway, thank you for reading. I hope you enjoyed reading this post. If you read it and don't leave a comment, Stretchy Arms Gangplank might haunt your nightmares!
