Tips Against Gangplank in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
I Am Goliath says “Gangplank is fairly annoying because he can cleanse your ultimate with his fruit so you'll want to save your ultimate until after he fruits, people say Gangplank is a hard counter to Urgot but he never usually kills me solo in this matchup he is just annoying and safe which makes it hard to get any type of lead, you can auto and use your W to clear his barrels quickly, early lane is also kind of hard so don't get chunked out to much by eating to many free Q's.”
RivalOCE says “Start E Doran's shield and look to farm. E his Grasp Q's and prioritise autoing his barrel's in trades. Not only is this where a lot of his damage comes from, he gets MS boost, you get slowed so autoing his barrels over him is extremely worth. Abuse poor positioning and look to all in with ult/CDR items. You win at 40-45%.”
Anoying bro5 says “This is an iffy matchup and you might want to take Grasp runes. You can also take corrupting potions or dorans shield. His early game Q pokes with his grasp will hurt bad so you have to play around this. On his first back hes going to get sheen and do a TON of dmg from this point on. The only trades against him will be when you all in him with your full combo. Try to riposte barrels/ grasp Q/ passive burn, as these are the majority of his damage. If you use E to slow, wait for him to use an orange before riposte, and vice versa to make sure you keep him locked down. When he sits on a barrel, try to Q him and aa the barrel to disarm it and then go all in on him.”
SaltCat says “Level 1 if he waste his passive on minions and you have full pasive you can beat him, try to use your q to dodge his barrels, this match up can be either easy or super hard depending on both players skills”
RTO says “A Good GP will put barrels under him and make it impossible to trade him. You may win 1v1s, but his team fights are much better. I ban him every time. Take Dorans Shield.”
Raen says “Hard matchup for Jax and annyoing to play against him, bully lane and can kite you easily. Get fast tabi. Your E blocks his Q remember about it, when you jump on him first the most important thing to do is destroy his barrel not AA on him. Call your jngler for help since its tough matchup and nothing to do if GP isn't really bad.”
RTO says “You can't CC him he can just cleanse it, he can poke from range with his barrels. Wait for ganks, build tanky, stun him when his cleanse is on CD. Play around your own CDs.”
quinn adc says “I recommend Fleet for this match-up, though PTA is better to punish GP in lane.
Electrocute is good too, but you must be better than GP to succeed with this.
If you take bad trades with Electrocute or PTA, you will have a tough laning phase.
The choice is yours, and if you are playing against Easier GPs in lower elos, then PTA/E-Cute will be the better choice to win lane easier.
I recommend Fleet overall against GP though because GP can sustain quite well with his corrupting pots in lane along with W, and he also has reliable poke that is a lock on ability with his Q.
If you run fleet, you can sustain his poke in lane.
Level 1 Gangplank has no pressure to out trade you, so use your vault aggessively.
If Gangplank ever Qs you, retaliate with Vault + many Auto Attacks to win the trade.
Since most GPs run corrupting pot, it's very important to keep tab on if he has the pots active.
To check if he has a corrupting pot active, click on Gangplank's character and on the top-left of the screen, it will show the corrupting pot timer under his name.
Do NOT trade with Gangplank while he has corrupting pots active because these consumables grant him more damage while active.
Your goal in the early laning phase is to get GP to consume all 3 corrupting pots as soon as possible, and every time he uses one pot, back off until it wears off before you go in for trades.
Level 3 onwards the lane gets really fun. The most important interaction is to practice dodging his barrel explosing with your E, Vault.
To do so, when Gangplank explodes a barrel, he will try to throw one in front of you to hit a Double/triple barrel combo.
The key to time this correctly is when Gangplank explodes his first barrel, immeditately retaliate with Vault, and if timed correctly, Quinn will dodge the explosions from the other barrels.
Master this mechanic and GP has no chance in lane.
If he misses his Barrels, immediately run him down and launch your whole combo on his to get a big trade win.
Ideally, you want to land your Q on Gangplank in lane first, and if you land it, go in for a quick trade becasue Gangplank cannot retaliate with his Q since it is a lock on ability, which means you will get a free trade in lane.
Even if you are behind in this lane guys, when you get 1-2 items, you will be able to 1v1 GP ALWAYS because your crit build will provide enough damage to destroy him.
All you need are 2 crit items and you will out DPS him in 1v1s.
GP is a bad 1v1 champ, and you can think of him as a poke AD caster mage.
He is quite squishy for the most part, which means our crit build will do wonders later on :)
Side Note: Gang plank can win level 1 if he plays it correctly.
The only GP player that I ever struggled with level 1 was Solarbacca, the best GP in the world, but most GP players wont do what he does.
If you see GP with ignite start, be careful of his level 1 cheese.
He will poke you 2 times with his Q, and then he'll flash forward to AA you, and this AA is his passive so he gets MS from it.
When you flash away, he'll ignite and then Q grasp you to kill you.
Overall, you hard win level 1, but if the GP plays like this, just be a little mindful of long trades early game.
Also, Solarbacca rushed bramble into me last time I vsed him, which was not fun lol.
If you see bramble GP, go Kraken rush and wait for 1-2 items.
You win 1v1 with 2 items no matter what.”
Autolykus says “Take Fleet Footwork in this matchup. He will just spam q you until he runs out of mana early on. Then he will back to buy sheen and spam q you even more. Max W and just regenerate off your passive. He can orange your ultimate as well. Go bramble and plated steelcaps. Chemtank and play for teamfights.”
Mr. Popper says “Gankplank outscales you know matter what you do. To compensate this you should play aggro into him. dont be stupid and take free Q's (Parrrley) poke him out gain a lead and do your best to play smart and stay ahead. Ninja Tabis are a must for the matchup.”
Phrxshn says “Fight him without his Powder Keg as he can dish tremendous amount of damage. Try to fling him out of Powder Keg(E) range then auto-attack the Powder Keg. Avoid proxying to low health due to his Global Cannon Barrage(R).
(Recommended Items: Rylai's Scepter, Deadman's Plate) (1v1 Sustained Trades: Gangplank, Singed without Powder Kegs) (Outscaling Edge: Singed)”
Veng Shotz says “Rush brambles so he takes damage with his q+grasp spam. His q range also puts him in your q range so q+eq2 will always out trade him. Once brambles is completed he'll just hurt himself more during the trades.
watch out for his barrels and when his passive is up, dodge the barrels and dont let him auto you when his passive is up and you can win the lane without issue. ”
Boptimus says “I find this match up not terrible, mostly because I was a GP OTP season 7. Whether you play tank or AD you should be able to stay fairly even with GP. Take Second Wind and D Shield and try to push for a cheater recall.”
Fryx says “Gangplank is one of the hardest champs in the game. He can be extremely annoying with his q and can block your slow with W. You will not have an easy time getting to his kegs but I think by staying aggressive with Q and W Trades you both will get chunked pretty hard and you will have a much greater use later on. On lane getting Bramble Vest and Ninja Tabis will make it much easier. Skill matchup”
Hijitori says “The biggest problem is his W, which can remove your Q and W effects, also he can use it just at the moment when you wanted to feast on him.”
SunFalk says “He his squishy. He his slow. He his easy to poke. - To deal with Gangplank, you need to poke him without going in his barrels range, try to destroy the barrels before he can for free money.”
IvernLover74856 says “This guy's kit is designed to be kited and dodged. Bait him into prematurely barrelling, and if you're going to get hit by a barrel, Q out of it.
You win the fight with your E, Q and ignite if he doesn't hit his barrels and he isn't fed.”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “Annoying matchup scince he can W to cleanse suppression from your R2. Pretty easy to gank him and get the kill. If he's not fed he is no problem in the mid game.”
SettVEVO says “BORINGGGGG. It's a ranged matchup. Take D shield and Second wind. Farm as much as you can without dying to poke. He can W your E stun so no guaranteed Ws with this guy unless you saw him eat oranges before. He'll look forward to W your ult so that sucks. Just try to E him when you can to trade. Just like any other ranged matchup. If he tries to use his passive you use your E when he runs away to pull him back. He scales well and isn't really good to ult at all. Choose another guy to ult in teamfights and kill him if you can't reach the adc first.”
Viego99 says “skill match up in gp favor.hi kill you if you eat every e .but you kill him if you catch him with w.you need ignite.gp outscale viego but your tf is better.”
RareParrot says “start cloth armor and outsustain him, be careful of barrel chains as they slow and give him hella dmg and ignite on gp+passive does 300 dmg so if he has the chance to auto you at 500 hp flash away.”
RainAndBow says “Break his barrels. His Q will let him proc grasp very often, and his harass is very irritating to deal with. Nothing much can be said here. Just don't die, farm up, powerspike.”
BoilTheOil says “Take Fleet Footwork, Second wind, and D-shield. Slow push the first 3 waves and look to recall so you can buy Refil potion and Cloth armor. You want to get Plated Steelcaps against him as soon as possible because his Q spam hurts. Once you get boots you can probably start running at him and using E. (doesn't work in high elo :( ) Make sure you prioritize breaking the barrel over doing damage to him because it's his main source of damage (it also refreshes his passive), Sett's second punch makes it easy to break the barrel before Gangplank. If you get Stridebreaker you can use it on him to close the gap but he will probably have a massive gold lead on you so you most likely won't win a fight.”
ForgottenProject says “Havent played this matchup yet, every gangplank I play vs has banned Gwen. So it makes me think shes hard for him.
Use W to block Q+Grasp Proc or his barrels. ”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - DIFFICULT MATCHUP. TREAT HIM LIKE A RANGED LANER. DON’T EAT TOO MANY OF HIS QS. AUTO+W TO KILL BARRELS. GET STEELCAPS ASAP. DON’T EAT BARRELS FOR FREE. ITS OKAY TO GIVE UP MINIONS. YOU BEAT HIM IN ALL INS DONT TAKE UNNECESSARY DAMAGE. TAKE ATTACK SPEED SO YOU CAN AUTO THE BARRELS FASTER THAN HIM. HE IS VERY WEAK VS GANKS SO TRY TO WORK WITH YOUR JUNGLER. PHASE RUSH IS GOOD BUT CONQUEROR HELPS IN ALL INS IF YOU AREN’T HIGH HP. TRY TO PING YOUR TEAM WHEN GP HAS HIS ULTIMATE UP.
A good Gangplank with Grasp is going to be impossible to beat as you can’t do much vs his constant Q spam. Not to mention how he gets the movespeed to kite you with his passive+barrels. Grasp also makes him quite tanky which makes him difficult to kill in an all in when you don’t have full health which is how you are going to be in most poke matchups. Doran’s Shield + Second Wind is a GREAT idea. Sorcery is only good if you are gonna snowball and kill him early. Treat him as you would any other ranged matchup. Let him push up and then run him down with Ghost. It helps to have Phase Rush sometimes as it lets you to keep chasing him through his barrels but sometimes, Conqueror allows you to have the damage to actually beat him. Vs Gangplank, having high attack speed is mandatory as without it, you will not be able to reliably hit his barrels before he does. And doing this is very important as Barrels are his main source of damage once he gets his items. You can try to auto+W to kill a barrel instantly. Catching him this way is easier thanks to Stridebreaker but the difficult part is surviving until you get it. You can bait him into exploding a barrel for free by juking in and out of it sometimes. A good Gangplank won’t be allowing you to touch the wave so give up minions if you have to. Your HP is more important than CS. Ping your team like crazy when you hit level 6 as GP can use his ult anywhere on the map. You can try to fight him to make sure he uses it in lane or just keep pressuring. But this way, you will be leaving yourself open to a gank so make sure you have at the very least a general idea of where the enemy Jungler is. On the bright side, if you kill Gangplank once, you snowball super hard on him and can kill him over and over again as long as you don’t play like an idiot. The worst part about playing vs Gangplank is that he can CS from a very long distance with his barrels which makes it difficult to freeze a lane against him.”
PH45 says “Really passive lane for most part as GP tends to play pretty safe early on. You can try to cheese him in the furthest bush near his tower, when he goes for the wave. His Q poke can be annoying so you kind of have to kill him before he pokes you down. You can deny his Q poke with your E but you run out of mana quickly that way. Try to bait out his oranges and when it's on cooldown then all in him. While fighting him prioritize destroying his barrels as otherwise he will slow you and chunk you hard with them.”
Drake6401 says “The biggest counter to Renekton in the game. He's strong in all phases of the game and wins all forms of trades, short or long. Mostly unwinnable without jungle aid. Gangplank is a lane bully too but sadly the poke kind. He will either zone you off the wave with his barrels or use them to protect himself. He can stand in their range as a safeguard because the slow is too heavy on you to catch him if hit. He also has a free way out of your stun so this guy is practically made to beat you.
Because he lacks mobility and will usually be pushed up to your tower, your Jungler would be wise to gank a couple times. Before your jungler arrives, take the blunt of his abilities which means making him pop his barrels and eat the Orange. It will set him up to be killed by the gank. Tanking his abilities for the gank is only viable if you're not behind or too hurt so it's a bit situational.
He's not a huge harasser and typically just wants to farm. The issue is that Renekton wants to get ahead and roam. Not stand around and hit minions all day.”
lol Wero says “One of the hardest match up there is. Very Difficult to trade vs Gangplank from his Parrrley (Q). Powder Keg (E) and his Remove Scurvy (W) makes it even worse to trade vs GangPlank.”
xPetu says “Recommended: Sustain Runes & Teleport
Tips: Passive shield his Q and E poke. W every Q you can (prevents Grasp). When you E in, always kill his barrel on first AA and then focus him. Even if he W's perfectly your auto will hit barrel first.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Gangplank is all about last hitting his barrels, so try to get comfortable with preventing him, by last hitting them first. Gangplank can (W) cleanse our (Q), so try not to rely on using it to counter him, we can't (Q) his (Q). Barrels are priority focus because of their 40% Armor Reduction that they ignore especially late game, be aware of him past level 13 on that aspect. Regardless of what some people may say to you, getting in close to pop his first or second barrel before he sets it to chain into his combo is extremely important. If you can't last hit them, you'll always have problems dealing with this match-up. Grasp of the Undying is a mandatory rune into him to survive his poke and sustain by matching it with your own. ”
ForgottenProject says “[1]Take Corrupting Pot as Starting item.
[2]Dont fight him pre-level 6 and just try to get as much farm as possible.
[3]You can Burst him down when you hit level 6. Dont be scared to walk to his barrels and destroy them if hes farming back.”
Psychopathic Top says “Grasp autos are really annoying to deal with. Start three beads second wind, then on first back grab a dshield. This should completely neglect his Q damage, even post sheen. Dodge GP barrels by pretending to walk up but then backing away right after, to dodge the 2 part barrel. 2nd back get lucidity boots and farm for 3rd back sheen. At that point if the lane is relatively even, look to run him down. Early level wither is lower cd than Gp orange. This information allows you to wither, get his orange, then right after wither is back up go all in before his orange is up. 5 v 5s are easy as long as you win lane (solo kill).”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Everyone complains about Gangplank being annoying to play against. This is no different for Thresh. His early poke is strong and it only gets harder from there. Lategame he's hard to deal with due to his huge AoE and his ability to cleanse any of your cc including your hook with Oranges. Chemtank is okay to lock him down.”
Stinkee says “Gangplank is not a threat in lane but he will outscale you. He will likely take Kleptomancy against you and spam his Q's to gain gold. He will take minion aggro when he Q's you so if you can slow him with E or Q while he is tanking minions you will easily win a trade. If his orange is on cooldown he is easy to lockdown with CC and kill, especially with a jungler. I like to take Comet and max E against gp to poke him down hard and punish him when he tries to Q you.”
MythicMike says “He can't poke you with his Q if your Q is up since you just Q him back and can also follow up with another if you have E. Depends heavily on if the gangplank can use his barrels well or not.”
iZeal says “Respect his early game and don't eat his passive autos. Bait his barrels and dodge them with your E. Look for Ws for strong trading or all-ins. Trading Q1s for his Q is favorable if you don't take more damage from his barrels.”
A_Drunk_Carry says “Just watch his barrel placements, but pretty easy. You wall him and then call your ghouls in to mug him. Oranges can't save you from the spooky. ”
Dream Orbit says “More info on the matchups section. Remember this is only an estimated threat, you can always win any matchup if you're good enough (or if they're bad enough).”
P1Legend says “Smart timing can win you this lane. This is a skill matchup for sure, both of you will heal after trades, so its just a matter of who takes better trades. Prioritize jumping on his barrels instead of him if he is standing close to them. If he catches onto this and starts shooting them early, jump on a minion instead to bait him into triggering it, then jump on him. Use W -W while retreating to create some distance for after the trade”
Alan234 says “PTA Build, but Grasp with second wind is fine.
Get control of the wave early and keep pushing. I take Dorans ring with 2 pots, but you can go dorans shield to survive the lane. Trade through his corruption potion while blowing through your potions and dont back down. Try to use bushes to block his vision and make qs harder. Spam ping your teammates once he is lvl 6, or else they die like bonobos. Practice barrel last hit timings and kill them before he can set anything up, else he can zone you. Bait him to use his combo if the GP is good by walking up to cs and then instantly turning around.”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Gangplank is not that hard if you know how to dodge his barrels. Trade with him only if he uses his auto attack on a minion. Before going all in on him, try to make it look as if you want to ult him and once he uses his W, on the next engage, he's yours!
Start with doran's shield and try to get tabis on your first back.”
jpaul2077 says “Gangplank is one of the few champions I take tp into, the main reason being that GP's laning is very strong so it becomes hard to get good back timings without tp. Once you get your stridebreaker it get's easier to all in GP, just make sure that you W his Barrel Q's if you are not able to dodge it.”
Quinncidence says “Immobile!
D-Shield + 2nd Wind is key.
Can look to all in at level 2-3 if you have cats ready to spawn.
The later the game goes the easier the matchup gets for Yorick.
GP has no dash, so if he gets trapped inside a wall he has to flash out or he's dead.
”
The Rock Titan says “"[Comet, Doran's Ring, Q > W] - You want to Q him while not get poked too hard yourself.
- He's definitely hard but he shouldn't have a lot of kill pressure on you if you maintain your HP well.
- Try to get rid of his barrels whenever you can but don't risk it if you can't.
- You can bait out his barrel combo just by fake walking toward and away from him.
- He's deceptively tanky (Grasp GP) with his oranges, don't under estimate him and all in him thinking he's low enough! He runs too fast!
- If the GP doesn't go Grasp, you will win this lane easily"”
DippyDan says “Annoying ranged poke with short CD. Q is on-hit, so he will most likely go Grasp with Sheen for extra extra damage. Not worth to short trade. TIPS: [1] Farm till level 6 for All-in. [2] Parry Barrel damage, or Grasp Q whenever possible. [3] Only go for long trades after Parrying first Q.”
Justkb says “This lane is very annoying for Darius! He will constantly poke you down with Q and Grasp. Make sure you rush tabi and take trades when he has used his barrels. If you are smart enough, you can AA W to destroy the barrels quickly. Try to fight him at level 3 with E and force early trades. Good luck.”
LoLReal says “This is a surprisingly annoying lane if the GP is good and takes grasp. He can poke us down early without us being able to answer. Wait for him to make a mistake and walk up too far and punish him with E.
Early tabis is essential. You'll have to be patient in this lane.”
Rhoku says “Gangplank is a very annoying lane for most bruisers and Mordekaiser is no different. You NEED second wind here. Basically, stand back level 1. Only use your Q. Don't go for an all in and don't go for minions. He will kite the shit out of you and Grasp+Q spam you into oblivion. Later on, you may walk up as hitting your pull means you stand a chance of doing anything. And even, a smart Gangplank will have barrels loaded up everywhere to slow you down and use his passive movement speed to walk away. You need Rylai's in this lane, as Protobelt is just not good enough on its own. Farm up and try to make sure you don't int him kills. He can use his orange to walk away from your Ultimate but you still keep the stats from it. It's hard but if you can keep him in a fight, you will edge a victory out. ALWAYS be sure to attack his barrels. Getting hit by them hurts a lot, especially after he gets sheen. He isn't too big of a threat other than annoying ranged poke though. Don't int, farm up and if you can't beat him, you can just be more useful in teamfights as most Gangplank players in soloq have no clue what theyre doing.”
Phrxshn says “Fight him without his Powder Keg as he can dish tremendous amount of damage. Try to Seismic Shard him out of Powder Keg(E) range then auto-attack the Powder Keg. (Recommended Items: Deadman's Plate) (1v1 Sustained Trades: Gangplank, Even without Powder Kegs) (Outscaling Edge: Malphite)”
Phrxshn says “Fight him without his Powder Keg as he can dish tremendous amount of damage. Focus on killing his Powder Keg before making a trade.
(Recommended Items: Deadman's Plate) (1v1 Sustained Trades: Gangplank, Dr.Mundo without Powder Kegs) (Outscaling Edge: Dr.Mundo)”
sock217 says “Can play passive very well so you might have a hard time killing him, but he can rarely ever kill you. He IS a threat late game, however.”
Xerath gaming says “BAN! in my opinion he is so unskilled against morde, he presses Q on you 3 times and half your hp is gone so even if u farm under turret he ends up killing you. If you ult him he just presses W and gets out. Do not try to destroy his barrels since you have low attack speed. Just BAN him.”
YasTilt says “Really annoying because his Q, try to block it with your W. Take Anti-Heal because Grasp will allow him to regenerate a lot of HP. You can also take Randuin's Omen to reduce his Damage since his Build is focused around Critical Strikes.”
Sopachi says “At all points of the game you just run over Gangplank. He can Orange (W) out of your Q but it still leaves him completely helpless. Your mobility is greater than his barrel placement/prediction of where you will dash from, making him an easy opponent to constantly run down and snowball from. Easy lane unless against very seasoned Gangplank mains.”
Phrxshn says “Fight him without his Powder Keg as he can dish tremendous amount of damage. Try to Primal Howl him out of Powder Keg(E) range then auto-attack the Powder Keg. (Recommended Items: Deadman's Plate) (1v1 Sustained Trades: Gangplank, Warwick without Powder Kegs) (Outscaling Edge: Warwick)”
Phrxshn says “Fight him without his Powder Keg as he can dish tremendous amount of damage. Try to Pillar of Ice him out of Powder Keg(E) range then auto-attack the Powder Keg.
(Recommended Items: Deadman's Plate) (1v1 Sustained Trades: Gangplank, Trundle without Powder Kegs) (Outscaling Edge: Trundle)”
Amvill says “His lane can be mean but you can play around his cooldowns early to push waves. Watch out for his ult since it can stop you from playing the teamfight. Dead man's plate is great against him.”
Fan22 says “Your passive gives you insane sustain, that combined with second wind and dorans shield makes GP poke almost useless, early game poke him and farm as much as you can.
After getting tanky enough he should not be a problem for Cho.
The worst part of GP for cho its his orange, wich removes CC and heals him, even still you should be fine since you can beat him with grasp and E if he gets to meele rangue.”
Heansuh says “It really depends on Gangplank, but good Gangplank is basically not winnable at all. Use your Q at his barrel and use E so that he can't melee or stay around it.”
A_Drunk_Carry says “On surface level this matchup is pretty easy, but can be very annoying early. For the most part your Q/auto will be faster than anything but a GP melee or close range Q on the barrel. Which means free stacks for you. Don't take too much poke early though, as most GPs will go corrupting pot and Q you all day. Keep track of if he oranges during laning phase, which gives you a chance to Wither and beat him up for a while. ”
SavagePridestalker says “GP isn't really countered by tank Rengar, his passive and barrels will go through most of your armor and since you are tank, you will have trouble killing him 1v1.”
Phrxshn says “Fight him without his Powder Keg as he can dish tremendous amount of damage. Try to Facebreaker him out of Powder Keg(E) range then auto-attack the Powder Keg.
(Recommended Items: Deadman's Plate) (1v1 Sustained Trades: Gangplank, Sett without Powder Kegs) (Outscaling Edge: Even)”
qosmox says “This is my ban for everygame. This man is scary. With his q range, he pokes you and you need to block it with your passive shield or w. But he scales so big and his w counters your all-in's. I suggest you ban it.”
Papa Urgot says “Can orange out of your realm and harras you quite savely. however this matchup is doable you have to rush a rylai's and tabis. once you hit him once there is no escape when he is to deep. remember that your ult removes his current barrels.”
SanLourdes says “Gangplank will be a poke machine with his Q, but he won't be able to deal enough damage to kill you. Watch out for his barrel placement. You can use your Q and bully him every time he comes up to CS. Because the stun of your Q usually means death to him in the early game, he will waste his cleanse. Use your ult when his cleanse is down. Once you scale you will be too tanky for him to deal with.”
LegitLechner says “His orange cleans the tentacle slams. A good gp will not let you play lane. Just have to hit your e's and kite around his barrels. Your w can last them so something to remember to ruin the gp chain of barrels if you're quick enough”
slogdog says “Be wary as he has very powerful poke in the early levels. Easy to all-in however, due to the fact that he is immobile and has generally low attack speed.”
Byku2506 says “Begineer GP is weak, but you dont have chance against good GP, he can easily beat you ass by poking you with Q and slowing you with barrels. But at early game and before his 6 you have chance to kill him”
a1a7s45 says “Gangplank wins early via poke so you have to go for mega all ins every chance you get. Bait out his W before and go Chempunk Chainsword for anti heal. You want to go Phase Rush to get up close and personal. Go the standard build.
Gangplank has a fuck ton of poke thanks to his Q so he's edging with Fiora if not slightly above her.”
MachDawn says “Annoying he can W your E or Ignite if you take. If you dont win against him early he has very high dps if not played well against late not hard matchup though.”
oogoogerson says “This is a super annoying matchup. You will lose a lot of trades. You kind of need to go all-in to kill Gangplank. Once you both hit 6 you are now ahead of him. Bait his R out while using Ghost to escape it and let yourself heal. Take Ignite to reduce his healing during fights.”
Safolet says “This is a balanced confrontation, since at the beginning of the game, you will only have the Q, W and E, so you can only dodge a barrel combo with the E, and that's it, it will be difficult for you to fight against him. , until you have the MegaGnar, that although before level 6, you have few advantages, you can jump on the minions to achieve double jump and thus use the Pre-level 6 combo: W, Basic Attack, Q, Basic Attack. Starting at Level 6, this matchup will be a blast while in MegaGnar, as you will have 2 stuns so that Gangplank cannot get out of both. Here I recommend starting with the W in the combo and after Gangplank is released from the first stun you use the R. If Gangplank does not release from the stun to wait for the R, try to throw Gangplank as far away from his tower so that he is simply with less security.”
Ganii7 says “The poke in general is very risky in early game, the normal thing against a gamplang dodge the barrels and trade using the w to denay aa or q.”
Bombabo says “Prepare to eat 10,000 Q's in the early laning phase. He will outpoke you by a landslide, but you will beat him in a close-up fight. Keep in mind that he can use his W to cleanse your ult, so don't use it if you think he has it ready.”
Wawza says “He can poke you easily with his barrels, try to destroy his barrel with a quick dash to them before he can react to Q them. His W will not remove your W so he cant escape if you catch him out.”
DarkyTheReal says “This is a tough matchup if the GP is a good player. Because he can just poke you down and a good GP will take steel plates against you. You want to start level 1 with Doran's shield and E, so you can block his poke, wait till level 6 and remove is bone plating, after that just go for an all-in.”
SethPRG says “Feels like you're fighting a ranged champion, but at any time you just win against him if you're in punching range. In the early levels, you can break his barrels faster than he can so be sure to do this as best you can, otherwise, you could lose the fight. Ping your team when he gets level 6, he becomes a bit scary then. When you ult him GP can use his W to cancel it, so use this to either strategically place yourself in front of his minion wave to E stun him, or just bait out his orange first before you ult him. Try to bait his barrels by walking close to him when he has one placed, then quickly sidestep back to where you were. In this matchup, it's bad if you're playing passive because he will just eternally farm grasp procs and barrels on you while shoving in, so you need to play aggressive on him, just be careful if they have ignite. Stridebreaker is super good here, but Trinity Force will melt a GP if they're behind. Getting a Sheen in this matchup and building into Bramble Vest feels pretty good. Plated Steelcaps is good eventually, go Death's Dance 2nd or 3rd item.”
XtheZ115 says “Really, it's a farm off. He can W out of your slow and keep you zoned with his barrels, but you also are too tanky for him to trade with. He does more damage upfront, but your poison eats at him badly enough where he backs off before you can kill him. Proxy farm him to be safe, or try and shut him down early.”
lol Wero says “You get poked to death, he out sustains you from his healing and he can kite you easily when he tries to run away from you. he can also break out of your show stopper (ultimate) and facebreaker. Taking Fleet footwork is recommended in this match up.”
wDesired says “GP is basically a range champion which is already annoying to deal with but you need to not let him proc his grasp procs for free if he Qs trade back lvl 1”
El Leon Gnar says “Gangplank has strong early damage with his Q and passive, go Doran's Shield v.s. him and try to trade at max Q range so he can't shoot back.”
joelspaho121 says “Darius favored generally.
d shield with sorc tree.
grasplank only becomes a pain in the ass to deal with on early levels because of insane q poke so your goal should be to let him push into you by giving up cs and then as soon as you notice he has overextended dont hesitate to fight him because his extended fights are really bad because it all resolves around the position of his barrels. His w is also very useless because he cannot time it well enough in order to cancel your E so a good gp player will only look to cancel the slow from your w so they dont get hit by your q. There is nothing really much to this match up just be wary of where you are so you dont take unnecessary barrel damage while trading and don't eat too much poke by greeding for cs.”
Paccu says “You can win fights, but he can cleanse your ult for free, what you wanna do is play aggressive to bait his orange for hp, then ult him IMMEDIATELY”
DaSticks says “You win trades vs him early. Last hit his barrels where possible. Force him to use Q to farm so he runs out of mana. Try and pay attention to how many barrels he has stored (He can only hold 3 and they take a long time to recharge early)”
majororange77 says “Full info in Guide.
Actually a bit of an annoying matchup, since he can poke, sustain and disengage, as well as scale pretty well.”
Godidi says “Even? But you're ranged, you can destroy his barrels! Sure, you can, if you're against a bad GP, but, a good gp will chain his barrel with another to slow you and speed him up, walk to you and stab you to death (although you can blind his passive). It's a skill machup, depends on who's better.”
XteelRO says “In laning phase look for opportunities to inflict free damage, example when you get lvl2 before him, strike him with you're E and end his carrer. After 10 mins he will start to deal immense amount of damage so you need to time you're W's and Q's almost perfectly to avoid death.”
NPGRiven says “If you are confident enough in your fast Q combo, you can level 1 all-in cheese him in the bush closest to his tower as he walks to farm minions. This matchup I'd take DShield and Second Wind just to have extra sustain against his poke. At level 6 you can easily all-in him if he opts to go sheen first. You should look to block as many of his Qs with your E, and avoid getting hit by barrels.”
Kaizin says “As with most "ranged" matchups, use the bushes to avoid auto attacks or in this case Gangplank's Q. You can start Doran's Shield if you're worried about sustain but generally you can survive laning phase. Just bide your time, take what farm you can get, XP is the most important factor early game. Once you're level 6 you can force an all in, make sure that he uses his orange for your ult rather than your Q. Place your E behind him if he starts running that way he's slowed again. If you're farming or fighting gangplank and he places a barrel, try to either last hit the barrel or walk unpredictably that way he has a harder time aiming the second/third barrel.”
I am so chill says “he will poke you all game long.you can dodge his barrel with e or take 2 auto attacks with the animation cancel from ur e and break it.If you hit 1st q knock up point.Go for a trade.Definetly dorans shield.”
UlisesFRN says “Gangplank is a very strong top laner. Great Poke, great zone, good trades, good sustain.... He is solid all the duration of the game so pretty much try to farm and dont get hit by his barrels. If he goes to cocky you can punish him with a Q+E plus a well timed W is key to win trades. Try to roam for kills to get ahead and if he goes in melee range for a minion kill punish hard. The most important thing is to not eat the barrels”
CaptianMike says “Buy doran's shield for sustain. He pokes hard with his Q, and his Q will also proc Kleto or Grasp of the Undying for him. You will only be able to kill him if he makes a mistake, you get a gank, or its post level 6. Your ultimate is stronger than his in terms of dueling power. Dont force anything though, just take advantage of this farm lane.”
deathwalker7119 says “Probably your hardest matchup as Fiora. Take revitalize + second wind second, but you don't have to go fleet, you can take grasp, fleet, or conq (up to you and how confident you are). You need to parry his passive or a barrel, but usually his passive. You have to Q out of barrels or you will get shit on, while also Qing into him otherwise he will spam Q until you die. When he Rs, you need to get outside of it as the MS slow will slow down your Q and make popping ult impossible. Again, this matchup is extremely hard and definitely worth the ban if you're willing to face malphite.”
SirGRC says “Worth a Ban: No
Super rare to see but if you do pray, they have no idea what they are doing. He is going to poke you down with his Q. His W will heal him and works as a cleanse too. His E does a lot of damage so either destroy it as fast as possible or get out of its range with E. ”
ApollonATH says “Skill matchup. The better player will win this lane . It is all about outplaying your opponent and not getting hit by unnecessary poke and try your best to AA or W the barrels before you get poked out of the lane . You get outscaled”
JeanMichelBambi says “Gankplank can't really fight you head on early game, you need to play it smart and stay away from the barrels while engaging as soon as you can”
Snow Day Zoe says “haha bullet go pew
doran shield passive second wind ez
you can even go 3 beads to troll :)
You have to watch out for his W tho if you are tower diving.”
XPRflew says “You will need to farm under tower because Gankplank will just keep on poking you with his q and you can just life steal when he his no mana you can finally fight Gankplank unless you have no mana and not lv 6
”
XPRflew says “Gangplank is annoying because he can cleanse your ultimate with his w so you'll want to save your ultimate until after he w, this matchup he is just annoying and safe which makes it hard to get any type of lead, you can auto and use your W to clear his barrels quickly, early lane is also kind of hard so don't get chunked out to much by eating to many free Q's.”
Womsky says “Lane survival setup, Well, he is kinda broken, but not for trynda, go lane survival and survive early by spamming Q as he spams his Q, no need to go hard early, you can go hard on him with trades after level 6 with your tiamate, when he is low, ghost and beat his ass up, if you beat him up in the barrel games thats even better, you will destroy him with style, another thing to keep in mind before going on him early, u can wait him to waste is passive on minions by auto attacking them, so u can go in for a trade, cause his passive is pretty annoying as it slows u, does damage, and makes him zoom around.”
TXK_ says “Save your ultimate for after his cleanse has been used as it counters the ability completely. Time it so he has placed barrels beforehand as they're not taken with him within your ult. His Q will hurt early so avoid his grasp procs.”
Vandenelis says “he can bully you out hard early, if he goes grasp and spams his q on you, you can heal back with your passive, watch out for his early all in and him eating an orange and healing back hp when you are ulting him”
RealIreliaCarriesU says “It is generally an easy lane but if you are against someone good at gangplank it can be a bit troublesome. I recommend avoiding fighting at level 1 and starting E and just letting him push you in early on. You can build up passive under tower and look for fights after. You will win all ins granted that you hit your E and have passive from the start. Try to only go for all ins if you are over 75% hp. Anything else he can easily beat you with grasp procs and auto/Q/his passive. After 6 it gets a bit easier as you can open up with ult and 5 stacks and you can land your E on him with the slow. It is fairly easy to beat him as long as you land everything. You beat him until 3-4 items assuming you don’t fall behind.”
MagicallyDelish4 says “Start a D-Shield level one. Always block his Q with an E to negate his damage. Try to short trade him pre 6. Once it is level 6 you'll be able to just kill him unless he has flash. He doesn't have proper mobility so you can just run him down if he shoves his wave and is trying to get plates. ”
tibs2 says “Worst Poppy match up in the game. Take second wind, Doran shield (cosmic>tonic), and any% speedrun your tabis. This match up is all about buckler usage, pressure his barrels with your ranged autos or just walk into one with your shield forcing him to use it when you are shielded. If you ever have to play this match up I wish you luck my friend. ”
Patsito says “W his q's, I recommend going ignite, if you trade always be careful with his barrels, try to destroy them and always take short trades, avoid engaging with e, you want to run away with it.”
XD001 says “Mid GP is really annoying due to his sustain and constant poke. If you do end up landing a good stun in lane he can just Remove Scurvy (cleanse) and run away for free. Do your best to dodge barrels and play around their CD's if he ends up wasting them. Focus on CSing well and eventually in mid-late game you will nearly 1 shot him and the backline if he isnt too tanky by then.
Gangplank outscales Ekko
electrocute + sorcery/inspiration + tp/ignite (if you want to kill and snowball)
if the enemy team has 2 more tanks/bruisers take Conqueror + domination”
Noodles912 says “You scale a bit better than him, but he has insane early poke. Freeze, farm, break his barrels, and you will be fine. If he ults you, or is about to hit you with 2 or more barrels, W and protobelt will save you. Just farm to when you are the monster. Key tip: When he uses Q, you must respond with your Q too.”
Buszman says “He'll want to be clever and use his W on your W, but he didn't anticipate that you still have a Q. In theory this is a difficult lane, but who knows how to play Gangplank?”
ThiccCheese1066 says “Gangplank is gangplank. Gonna barrel your ass when you're brawling, heal when you're brawling, ult when you're brawling. His entire kit is an annoyance to you and you either need lots of ganks or just pray he's bad”
kohyss says “This lane depends on how good enemy Gp is. You will need to hit you E. Save your ult for enemy jungler or if he wastes his oranges. Take second wind.”
PiscesPomf says “HARD MATCH-UP
Before level 6, he will be really annoying with his poke. Just stay safe and farm. When you hit lvl 6, you can be mor confident and try to kill him.
Remember that you can destroy the barrels !
His fruit will remove your E slow or your W slow, so wait for him to use it before you use your other slow.
Parry his barrels or his Grasp Auto.”
PandoraPanda14 says “Good gangplank players will not be in the range of your E/Pull. Most Gangplanks will look to poke with q for Grasp or Klepto procs. If you see the opportunity for the pull when they go to poke you do it. Most gp's cant cleanse your pull and you can stand on top of him if you ghost. He can get away quite easily though if he cleanses your slow, and barrels you. Bring Dorans Shield.”
Urgodzilla says “Annoying point-and-click poke, cancels your R with his W (this is kinda bullshit, imagine powerful ultimate being cancelled by a basic ability).”
teemodumbstupid says “Phase Rush with E max is strong into gangplank because you can E him every time he tries to Q you. If your team has an important CC ability, use your W on him to get him to use his Orange. You don't want to W max just for him, because he can use his own W to remove the slow.”
Oskarl3 says “his w can cleanse your cc combo, and his q will poke you down in lane. but if you can get into melee range with your ultimate and all in him you win very hard.”
Tsundere Tahm says “Gp es un match up complicado pero no imposible, espera a que se deposicione, tiene mucho daño pero no aguanta mucho, si se gasta la naranja es tu momento de brillar.”
Kokob5 says “A good GP is probably Mordekaiser's hardest match up because of his W. A good GP will punish you repeatedly and keep his W for your all in. Always last hit his barrels if he drops them during fights so he can't reset his passive. A way around your ult being countered is to take Phase rush and run him down and force him to use W for the heal and then ult to trap him.”
SanLourdes says “Gangplank is probably one of the most annoying matchups you will go against. Watch out for his barrel placements and you MUST keep an eye on his W. DO NOT ULT HIM. It is just not worth it unless you literally see him use it in front of your eyes and you have your ult ready then and there to use. He will cleanse your ult otherwise. Take Doran's Shield and build Sorcerer's Shoes. You outscale him, but his abilities can counter yours. In this matchup it is worth it to use Ghost to run him down and make sure you get a kill ahead and establish dominance in your lane. If he has lane control, he will fill it with barrels and keep poking you with his Q, denying you CS and doing all the other annoying things in the world while you watch helplessly.”
negoZoma69 says “Difficult lane for AP Neeko and almost unplayable for AD Neeko. If he's good you need to be able to break his barrels otherwise the lane is doomed. You can take grasp to retaliate his Q but it's not like it will win you this lane.”
Thats a OOF says “Fleet. Passive his Q and E poke. W every Q you can (prevents him from stacking up his grasp) When you E kill his barrel and then gp because of that barrel damage. You can W his passive autos.”
Draconic56 says “He outranges you and can poke you with Q's. Play safe level 1 and when you hit level 2 you can try to pull him in for some poke damage. a smart Gangplank will have barrels loaded up everywhere to slow you down and use his passive movement speed to walk away. You need Rylai's in this lane, as Protobelt is just not good enough on its own. Farm up and try to make sure you don't int the kills. He can use his orange to walk away from your Ultimate but you still keep the stats from it. It's hard but if you can keep him in a fight, you will edge a victory out.”
SleeplessX says “Give up CS as needed so he doesn't murder you with free grasp Qs. A gank will be greatly appreciated to breathe a bit but won't magically make you strong enough to 1v1 him, his kit is too good against yours”
pioj12 says “He has a lot of poke damage but not a lot of kill potential, you will be using fleet runes to not get poked out of lane.
Try to destroy his barrels as often as possible and all in him when you have mega, he doesn't have a lot of 1v1 if you destroy barrels
”
zzepic says “Bullies you at all points in the game. My personal ban. Do not take grasp in this lane, you will never be close enough to proc it without taking too much poke back to make it worth it.”
raede says “Gankplank is annoying, true but after around level 3 he is much weaker than you. If you just run revitalize and take the beating for a bit you can easily kill him before level 6. At level 6 you are much stronger and should try to kill him as much as possible.”
MrShykun says “UN MATCHUP PLUTOT DIFFICILE CONSIDERER LE COMME UN RANGE TOP NE VOUS PRENEZ PAS TROP DE Q VOUS POUVEZ AA + W LES BARRILS PRENEZ LES TABIS AUSSI VITE QUE POSSIBLE VOUS LE GAGNER SUR UN ALL IN ALORS ESSAYER DE NE PAS PRENDRE DE DEGATS INUTILE IL EST ASSEZ VULNERABLE AU GANKS DONC ESSAYER DE TRAVAILLER AVEC VOTRE JUNGLE PRENEZ CONQUEROR N'OUBLIEZ PAS DE PING A VOTRE EQUIPE LORSQU'IL POSSEDE SON ULTIME. Un bon gangplank qui joue poigne va être impossible a battre car vous ne pourrez pas faire grand chose contre le Q spam avec brillance surtout que vous aurez besoin de beaucoup d'hp pour pouvoir l'all in ce qui sera rarement le cas et pourra toujours vous kite avec les barils et son passif prenez bouclier de doran et second souffle ou bien manteau nuageux si vous pensez pouvoir le tuer en early traiter le comme un range top laisser le push et courez lui dessus avec le ghost si vos hp le permette essayer d'acheter de l'attaque speed (ex:estropieur) pour détruire les barils plus vite que lui qui rappelons le sont sa source de dégât vous pouvez également rentrer et sortir des barils pour le bait un bon gangplank vous empêchera d'accéder au cs n'hésiter pas a sacrifier quelques cs pour conserver des hp qui vous permettront de tenter un all in. Si vous le tuer en revanche vous pourrez le snowball hard et le tuer encore et encore le plus chiant et que il peut farm a distance avec ses barils rendant le freeze difficile contre lui.”
Lunarisen says “The only thing Gangplank can really do is poke you with barrels and his Q, so when you see barrels; stay out of their range but aside from that, just use W to mitigate most of his dmg.”
Pawn Sacrifice says “A good GP player will make your life a hell. It's almost impossible to ouplay him overtime, you wont outscale him... just try to beat him with your jungler. Do your best to doesnt feed him”
Zac Petista says “Com o Early Game muito forte, o GP abusa do Zac sempre que ele vai farmar, ganha muita movespeed, causa muito slow, além de sair de controles de grupo com a laranjinha dele e matar sua passiva com um único barril. Procure fazer trocas rápidas com Q+W+E. Tente abusar do power spike do seu nível 6.”
SirPandus says “Cringe lane where Gp just chunks you with his Q + Grasp and e lands only if the Gp walks up a couple steps. E whenever he walks up to auto as that's the only time you can catch him. After 6 it will be hard to kill but not impossible as you can use your ult or e to force his orange then you can execute, just auto him to death with your W if he just drags out the ult duration (do not press ult immediately, Gp is waiting for the moment to grab so his orange is used at the perfect moment). What usually ends up happening is they do not get to use their orange and you don't get your ult off but your W just kills him.”
timeinabottle says “his barrels are a problem because u can't dodge them and he can free himself from your E's taunt with his W try getting help from your jungler early on ”
RetiredPykeMain says “Also a really annoying and tough matchup for shen take sustain runes.
W any q he throws at you, use your passive to block his q or e too.”
Rime101 says “Ignite, electrocute, Q max
if he has grasp just farm with your Q until level 6. He has a LOT of poke with Q + sheen + grasp dont let him use it”
Alekra says “Second Wind is mandatory. Maybe double armor in runes. You almost have zero killpressure due to his barrels and oranges. Garen is not that bad into him as some may think, as his sustain is pretty good but don't underestimate his damage with ult and passive.”
Erenando says “He is no threat until he gets his sheen. Just get yourself spirit visage asap and heal up against his Q pokes. His barrels also give you stacks, so make sure to abuse them.”
GrGamingTeo says “This lane is not extremely hard but is extremely boring and GP is a big pain in the ass during lane phse. A good GP is anoyingly patient and will never waste his barrel. If you even dream of geting cs you will get barreled, you will get Qed, you will get AAed and eventually all-ined and killed if the GP takes ignite. At the begginig of the game concider going to tribush with W and wait for him to come back to his lane so you can give him a bad start and he might evem havr to go back after that and you get free cs. Alternatively you can poke him down with Q during the lane phase before he hits lv2 so you have a health advantage. Take Phase Rush and if you get barreled and ulted he is just going to die. The only problem is that his passive deals true damage and his E ignores armor so you need to become one tanky sob (plated steelcaps, stridebreaker, sterak's gage)”
Drumastermunch says “You both have the dmg, always poke him back, and be smart managing your minion wave, you will have a lot of kill opportunities on this guy, but a mistake can put you out of lane quick too.”
4fun Player says “This can be easy but if you play in not Monkey elo its hell.
Dont trade pre lvl 7 and Seekers. if you survived and arent 2 lvls down you can start poking him.
You cant match his early game AT ALL.
He goes Biscuit grasp timewarp and if you trade that happen:
His q outdamages you, you re under tower because he has 4 healthbars because of his corrupting biscuits. Farmed to 700 Gold, Tps at tower and starts chunking 1/4 of your hp with each Q.”
LunaticDancer says “Not that threatening to Yorick, as often your ghouls farm for you so you don't even need to get into the barell range, and his pistol poke is easy to heal back up. Still can be dangerous in right circumstances, but you generally outtrade him really hard.”
lolkayleee says “SCROLL DOWN FOR DETAILED MATCHUP INFORMATION
He just pokes you with Q. It's hard to cs without taking damage. A good GP will stand on his barrels and you can't hookshot onto him. If your jungler camps this lane its super free. If you are even or ahead in gold and have triforce you can kill him. Try to R his barrel damage.”
SpyDaFX says “Annoying matchup, try to avoid his barrels and go for big trades level 2. u can play safe if you're worried until level 6, which you should win because his ult kinda useless against yours (Q healing with ur ult doesn't matter if he ults). go Conqueror”
Ravenborne says “Just another Poke Lane, but quite easy to beat. If he barrels near you, simply AA + W to instantly kill the barrel. If you know he is about to Q you and there is a low health minion near you, Q the minion to get the Phage MS and pull him in. Keep your distance from him if he is standing next to his barrels that you can't reach because he will surely get free Damage in. As soon as you have Stridebreaker this matchup becomes 10 times easier.”
mobsterplatypus says “I'm only putting him this high up because, one, his W allows him to escape the death realm (BY EATING AN ORANGE), and two, he slows you quite a bit. Thornmail would be optimal especially if he's running divine surrender here, but chances are he's building trinity force for extra Q damage. Build cosmic drive for less CD and more MS, and build armor.”
Bear24 says “Top 3 most tilting champions to play against. All in or nothing. Cna orange your stun and his barrels slow you. So dodge them. Can out sustain you with time warp tonic. ”
MarkFromSingedMains says “He will spam Q on you but if you can last hit barrels you're fine. His W can't cancel your E. Beware of playing this lane as proxy because a good GP player will ult you as you execute to get free kills. I'd suggest dorans shield start to negate his Q's damage.”
Whobick says “RIP Barrels. I wake up in the middle of the nigh sometimes imaging barrels blowing up around me. Ok jokes aside, the Gangplank rework killed us. The barrels do so much damage mid and late game that it is so hard to go against him. You do a decent job early, but mid and late game, he just uses a freaking orange to heal from Undertow (Q)”
Devilofthewest says “So i put gangplank as a 5 for newer pantheon players, a seasoned panth probably around 3-4. Heres what to expect here, when you fight him you will be able to kill him early at levels 3-6 but once he starts rolling out those barrels and poking you he will get CS lead. For many Pantheon players the early portion of the game will be a nightmare. My reccomendation would be to choose Conqueror or if you want to play very safe choose aftershock. Personally i rush black cleaver first against this guy then build plated steel caps. If you are losing its probably better to go tanky for your team.”
ChevalierArlo says “Dê prioridade ao escudo de doran. A build anti-ranged funciona aqui, mas Aperto certamente é melhor. Evite os barris e priorize prender ele quando ele estiver sem barris e laranjas.”
ModelitoTime says “One of the most annoying matchups for Urgot. If the Gangplank is really good, no one really dies in this matchup. He is really fast, has poke and he can escape your ult with his orange. just keep distance from his barrels, and him. If you do that then you should be good. Take a dorans shield because he can poke alot with his gun. If you do want to secure a kill in this matchup your best bet would be to E+flash him. *remember to only ult him if his orange is on cd*”
kingchas2 says “Gangplank is pretty weak right now, but his poke is still very potent. If you walk up to farm and take too many of his Q's you are going to have to back too many times to get any levels or farm. Play away from bushes as GP's like to leave barrels in there to chain together. ”
xxskipskipxx says “Farm safely and try to E his Q when you go for farm.
If there is no minion that is low dont stand in his Q range.
At lvl 3 you can start trading with him !! Watchout for his barrels and AA them right before they go from 2 HP to 1 HP! ”
LoLReal says “Moderately annoying early as he can poke us down hard with Q and grasp. Build early tabi in this lane and try to concede early CS without taking too much damage. We win hard post 6 so just survive the miserable early lane. Trade back if you see an opening but vs a good GP we don't win early.”
Dannala says “His poke is high but his all in is a bit weaker early on, especially if you kill/dodge the barrel. Going ignite against him would help to lower his healing and finish him off. Handling his barrels to avoid him killing your spiderlings is important.
He got a high amount of movement speed when he shoots his barrels which may be difficult to handle if timed well and he can remove your stun with his heal. His late game damage is very problematic even if you build bruiser/tank.”
aurus666lol says “Easy, he will only poke with Q with Grasp. They nerfed a lot of his items so he is weak now imo. His strong pros are Healing from W, Q with Grasp and Divine Sunderer. Destroy his Kegs and you are in home.”
Heckin says “Easy lane, he will poke you, but will run out of mana, so you can just shill in this lane, take short trades. Also his barrels count towards your W passive this also applies to Illaoi's tentacles.”
ineptpineapple says “Easy peasy you simply win this match up he is anti melee and you are rangedas long as you are sensible and dont fall into his barrels you are pretty much guaranteed this lane.”
Dom1nus says “In low elo this matchup isnt that hard, just be cautious of his q cause it hurts at lvl 1. When u face a good GP he can put barrels under him whenever u engage, slow you and punish you. He can heal ur w and get out of the stun too. U have better ult than his. Check in mini map if he uses it elsewhere on the map. Do small trades bait his w(22 sec cooldown at lvl 1) and all in him preferably at lvl 6.”
Hyzerik says “I haven't had a problem with this guy. Make sure to time your AA on his barrels so he can't shoot them and get in close if you have the chance.”
Vielia says “He's dangerous because of his long range and fast movement speed, your best option is to go all-in once he gets close to last hit a minion”
JannaMainOTP800K says “If you ever played GP you will know how frustrating your E is against ranged Champions.
If you play against GP make sure to stay out of his barrels and smash that private property as soon as possible. You might consider skilling E 2nd to block his Q damage. Otherwise care for his passive speed and Make shure to give that suggardaddy a nice clap on his boody.”
NoFriendsPlayLoL says “Disgusting range abuser with a CC escape tool and zoning. Take a safer rune page and let your jungler know that you can easily kill him with ganks. 2v1 beats GP easy as Tahm.”
Raideru says “Good Gangplanks will never die to you since they will always have a barrel on top of them in case you jump on him, you can only try to bait him to explode a barrel on top of u and that small gap where he doesn't have a barrel placed you engage him with counter strike, if he tries placing one down u destroy it at last tick and just back away afterwards once your counter strike is over. I advise getting tabis into this matchup since tabi reduces the dmg of his q by 12%.”
TioKirb says “A good GP will never expose himself, he can nullify your ultimate and heal himself, his Q does a respectable damage and he can get fed just by using his ult to get assists. This is a matchup that can be won, but I prefer to play passive.”
sauronkaiser says “Even if some people consider Yorick a GP counter, reallity is different when facing a good one. I still cant believe when they reworked this guy they didnt remove his retarded Q, wich is even worse after garsp was released. He will abuse you hard with his Q-garsp and his barrels, wich are almost impossible to dodge if he uses them correctly. Also he can free himself from your E slow alowing him to escape from your engage easily. Search for mistakes and all-in him in wall as much as you can. Dont let his cancer mechanic of Q-garsp to overcome you even if it looks extremely annoying.”
CattoNuts says “He'll set barrel in place for when you jump. Bait barrel out by jumping to nearby minion. Your jump will be faster than his Q to barrel most of the time, so head directly for barrel if he's not in barrel auto range.”
EU_Toxicity says “Grasp GP can actually outdamage you levels 1 and 2 with his passive resets so be careful. Level 3 and onwards you should be able to kill him in every all-in provided you're not lower HP and very behind (Ghost and start the fight with auto>W to bait his orange and then pull him back in after he uses it) . ”
doorknobber69 says “It's mostly skill based match up, basically he will prob place a barrel on top of himself to stop you from jumping on him. You can either fake it by hopping on another minion or go for the barrel into a full combo on gp. You're leap is a bit faster than his aa or q unless he predicts it. ”
xXAhriXx69 says “In all honesty Gankplank is just a matchup you want to avoid his barrels make it so your shroud will never be usefull to hide in and his oranges give him a lot of sustain in laning phase. At this point you might be better off asking your mid lane to swap lanes if he is able to fight the Gankplank.”
iZeal says “Gangplank will try to continually harass you with Q and Grasp procs as well as barrels so you cannot all-in him, so try to stay as healthy as possible. If he gets an early sheen, the lane becomes very hard to beat. You can start to try to pull him at level 3 onwards. Do not get hit by his barrels in the all in so you don't get slowed or even better kill the barrel yourself with aa+w (the W cooldown gets halved when you kill a unit) so Gangplank doesn't gain movement speed.
DShield>RejuBeads, Ninja Tabis!, Phage!”
Randomwest says “A lot of poke in first levels
play resolve second with second wind and dorans shield
if you survive lane you should be able to start winning as you get divine

byThiagus says “Jugar en toplane vs un gp bueno es un INFIERNO, Si el gangplank es malo (Lo mas Probable)La linea es GRATIS, Segunda pagina de runas Y escudo de doran. Trata de no comerte mucho poke y no dejar que acumule muchos minions para mandarte a tu torre, lvl 3 podes hacerle run down con fantasmal si esta pusheando y no tiene muchos minions acumulados. A nivel 6 Le ganas facil los all ins. Ambos champs escalan bien en 1v1 y En teamfights Pero si el gp es bueno no la vas a pasar bien en early sin ayuda de tu jungler. Rushear tabis Obligatorio y rompeavances/trinidad”
Shinozuka says “You really can't trade against him. Grasp and his barrels will cause you to lose massive amounts of hp, and he will just use his oranges whenever you engage onto him with W. S”
AWierdShoe says “This is a very horrific matchup. Even though he's a melee champion you have to treat it as if this is a ranged matchup. Avoid his Q range as much as possible unless you have to walk up to last-hit. You can block it with your W but it's on such a low cooldown that he will just keep poking you out of lane with it and shoving you in with barrels. Worse yet, he can just use his W to get out of your taunt. Try to get help from your jungler and look to impact the other lanes on the map.”
I Am Goliath says “Don't really see gp that often anymore. You can easily win this matchup by Q'ing him when he goes to Q a minion. Make sure you auto his barrels in this matchup as much as you can, and also if he is ever close enough you can W to him to dodge his barrel shot which will win you the 1v1.”
TrinityForceYasuo says “Easy one. Get used to the match up and you shouldn't be losing against him. Q is blockable and when you have your passive up do not use W let your passive tank his Q, dodge barrels with your dash, try to bait him using them, predict it and its pretty simple after that. Try to poke and make small trades as much as you can. For him to sustain in the lane is mana hungry and he will run out of it eventually. As last thing about GP be careful when he has his passive up since it deals true dmg and is like an ignite so let him use it on the minions and you can go without taking this true damage from him”
eBrixton says “Gp will poke you all laning phase, but you can sustain most of it. He becomes a major threat once he gets items because the poke will begin to do more damage as the lane goes on and he can pat you on the back with his sword to give you a true damage DoT.”
Saarlichenbog says “Although he was a little higher in threat last season, he did not make a good transition into the new season. There are no particular items which he can fully utilise which is why his laning phase went from decent to atrocious. Knowing that he will often place barrels in bushes right next to you in lane, you can deny a major part of his damage, leaving him to poke in his Q to either poke you or CS, both of which expends a lot of mana. HIs only sustain is in his W which is why this matchup should be won through better itemization. ”
Bradybattlemask says “He also scales hard, but worse at it and always prime to kill. Wait until you have minions up and then all in. He has little escape and not a lot of early damage.”
ItsPaulygon says “A Gangplank can be annoying for you as he has his oranges to counter your stun. Gangplank players will stay away from you and try to poke you with his Q and barrels. Take Doran's Shield to negate the poke damage. Bait his Oranges if you can, but if you want to win the lane, play safe and get ganks.”
MKUlra_Ronin says “Farm lane. His barrels shove as fast as your Q+AA and W+AA if you use your E for clear post-3.
You have a chance to shred him at lvl 2 if you have been poking hard. Make him waste his oranges before you all-in @2.”
llametekudasai says “tiene buen daño con barriles intenta baitear sus barriles una ves que no tenga la movilidad le entras con la pasiva del item y terminas haciéndole un fast combo, no debería darte mucho problema”
TheMightyNinja says “You can only win this matchup if your jungler camps your lane, otherwise try to farm safely and look to roam with your ultimate to get your team ahead.
I would recommend The Fleet Footwork build in this matchup.
His passive (15 sec. CD) will burn you with true damage scaling with his bonus AD.
His Q is ranged ability, can critically strike and apply on hit effects but doesn't apply passive, he can also trigger Grasp keystone with his Q.
His W will heal him for a percentage of his missing health and remove any CC's (like your taunt).
E : his E ability can put up to 3 powder kegs wich he can attack to explode, nearby kegs linked to each other will explode in chain reaction, any enemy caught in the explosion will be slowed and the damage ignores 40% of the target's armour. If you manage to destroy the keg before he does it will defuse the explsion and grant gold.
R : His ultimate deals damage over 8 seconds and slows enemies caught in it by 30%, it is also a global ultimate wich means he will make sure to help his teammates even when he cannot follow you up in your ganks.

Klappy says “- Escudo de Doran

open_48 says “
I have never met a strong Gangplank. Avoid getting hit by barrels unnecessarily. Let him push him and as soon as you can engage him with the ghost.”
MrGasYourGirl says “If they're Plat+ they'll beat you. Otherwise they're hilarious and you can just proxy and watch them die to the minions in lane which is top kek.”
wolfclaw3812 says “Gangplank is... pretty bad. His barrels can slow you so that he can catch you. Your blind and mushroom slows get removed by one button. However, it's okay, because you just keep poking. On-hit. ”
Papa Urgot says “he can eat his orange and get out of your realm with it. once you have a rylia's the matchup really turns into your favour (once you hit a spell) and make sure you hit his barrels.”
Nicklstherealone says “He cleansed your Ult, you cant engage him because of his Speed-ups and your not mobile so he just pokes your with his barrels and in his ult your literally cant move. Try to kill before level to snowball. ”
clalobaciel says “Gangplank is an easy matchup early, but once he hits his power spike it becomes annoying and he's capable to output serious damage. If you're able to get onto him and avoid barrels, it shouldn't be a problem to kill him.”
Raphi0216 says “Start D-Shield. Don't walk into his Q-Range if you don't have to. If you think you win against him, kill his barrels with AA-Resets after you engaged him with your E.”
OffmetaPancake says “This lane goes in Rek'Sai's favor. Especially so if you can coordinate dives with your jungler. Unfortunately, he can opt to sit under tower to farm. Deal with it by either freezing wave, or rotating.”
daito Okami says “One of akalis worst matchups due to the heavy poke with grasp and being able to stand on barrels.Start with D shield and second wind in runes. Try to dodge his barrels with your e don't let him aa you with his passive and when you jump in use your passive extra range to destroy his barrels”
Frostyfps says “It is generally an easy lane but if you are against someone good at gangplank it can be a bit troublesome. I recommend avoiding fighting at level 1 and starting E and just letting him push you in early on. You can build up passive under tower and look for fights after. You will win all ins granted that you hit your E and have passive from the start. Try to only go for all ins if you are over 75% hp. Anything else he can easily beat you with grasp procs and auto/Q/his passive. After 6 it gets a bit easier as you can open up with ult and 5 stacks and you can land your E on him with the slow. It is fairly easy to beat him as long as you land everything, executioners is pretty nice vs him as they all tend to run tonic+spam oranges when they are low so you can cut a lot of the healing out. You beat him until 3-4 items assuming you don’t fall behind.”
GlaDyOfficial says “He is also very annoying, he can use his ability to escape from your stun or ult. Is fast and annoying.
Ban him if Jax is already banned.”
Legal Loli Lulu says “Pretty easy as Titan Garen, you can swap your keystone to Fleet Footwork for this matchup and you'll most likely win fairly easy. ”
Delvoid says “grasp Q poke from Gp is obnoxious and he can clense your ulti. TRy to poke him with Q as much as you can and all in once low. If he ever uses W when your ulti is up all in him ”
Mordekaiserrrrrrr says “Gangplank is a fairly even matchup, you can definitely out damage him mid game, but his heal ability also removed all crowd control, meaning he will remove your ultimate off of him, but you still get to keep the stats for the 7 seconds or until he revives if you kill him within those 7 seconds. ”
TangoVallhala says “He pokes very hard and can kite you easy with his movement speed, go for level 6 kill potential, really watch out for barrels and watch for his Q CD.”
YesImGarbage says “Theoretically he counters you because his W you cancels your ult but you are still mord and therefore still a god who can easily 1v9 any game.”
Luceris says “Standard Grasp Runes
Build: CULL. Build items based on rest of enemy team. This lane is really easy and you can hard win it with any items.
YOUR Q CAN KILL HIS BARRELS!!!!
You can long range Q his barrels to stop his combos. Some Gankplanks DO NOT KNOW THIS. I find this matchup super easy due to this fact. His poke is worse than yours and his orange is easily baited by your W.
Once you get 40 wraiths you outrange Gangplank's Q, so he can no longer trade with you properly!”
Panwiler says “Jak coś szybko ucieka, tylko farmi i pushuje to mnie wnerwia, runy i itemy na to pomogą. Czasem oddaje wierze jedną, żeby nie musieć tak często schodzić i pomoc drużynie (i tak ją weźmie) jeżeli bardzo przegrywa jeżeli dają sobie rade bez ciebie to nie oddawaj. No i nie wiem ”
YoungTact says “Extremely bad match up, don't pick poppy into it. Start dorans shield and go second wind in runes. First back get corrupting pot whilst rushing tabis. Play to farm as he just Q spams you and there's nothing you can really do about it. W to disengage and Passive barrels to avoid dying.”
qasddsa says “During laning phase, he will be poking you with Parrrley. If you choose to dive him, keep track of his heal and CC remove from Oranges. Late game, do not get hit by his barrels, since they'll do a large chunk of your health if he has a few items.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “SPELLBOOK SETUP BUT INSTEAD OF PRESENCE OF MIND AND BLOODLINE, GO SECOND WIND REVITALIZE - CLOTH ARMOR + 4 POTS =
Gankplank is another really hard counter to Nasus, his Q poke is super appressive since he can also proc Grasp with it plus his True Damage Burn of his passive it makes it difficult to survive in lane, and usually Gankplank goes for Biscuit Delivery + Time Warp Tonic for extra mana sustain for more Q poke. In this lane your focus is to survive you will outscale him in the midgame but in the late game its a skill matchup. You can look to autoattack + Q his barrels but you have to execute it really fast or else he will hit you with the damage, you can stack his barrels (for 3 barrels). He also can cleanse your Wither with his W so try to make him use his W and then you use your Wither. Ask to you jungler to gank you once you get Sheen and lvl6 in case its really hard lane for you, if not just go for 3 points in E and then Q max and you should be able to survive this lane. In late game it becomes a pure skill matchup, since his W cooldown goes down a lot due that he will have 40% CDR and he will have a lot of movement speed making it super hard to stick with him, look to kill him with Ghost and Flash. Don't be upset if you are 40+ minions behind him early on, it's the nature of this matchup. Remember you can stack his barrils with Q.”
Tauricus2017 says “As well as Teemo, GP outpoke you so try to all in with Aftershock rune and do not go very close to him unless you want to all in. Also be prepared to dodge from his newly created barrels.”
SkellyBirb says “He can't deal much damage to you. Ahri is mobile and can avoid his barrels most of the time. The only advantage he has is his oranges.”
SubHuman Filth says “Go Grasp, second wind and taste of blood. ONLY go for poke when you have grasp up. Go for short trades with Auto + grasp + q.
Perhaps get an early Dorans shield.
If he's good with his barrels it becomes very hard and you will need to either outtime him or bait them out.”
Grayified says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Gangplank with grasp has a really good early game into Tryndamere. Look to farm up and sustain with your fleet, second wind, revitalize, q, and dorans shield healing until you get enough for tiamat. Once you get tiamat you can start looking for aggressive trades into him. A big part of this matchup is playing around his barrels. One really good tip I have discovered from playing this matchup a lot is that gangplank will usually put down a barrel below him to disengage from you if you spin on him, but what you can do is walk inside the barrel range to bait him to try to auto or q it, then you walk right back out before it explodes. Taking out his barrels that way or straight up just walking up and hitting it before he does can help you significantly to win this matchup. In the mid-late game splitpush beating gangplank in a 1v1 is about how well you outplay him on his barrels when you are diving him. If you aren't playing well around his barrels, you can look to use your superior mobility out of combat to roam and flank his team after shoving him into his turret on the split.”
Rakuretto says “Gangplank can be annoying to face until you reach level 6. His main advantage is that he's dealing good damages from a longer distance than you and can poke you while staying relatively safe. For this matchup, I recommand to let him push and play under your tower. Engage him as soon as you are level 6.”
I Am Goliath says “This match up is pretty annoying since he has a way to poke you down in your mini form and the damage can really add up, try your best not to get hit by his barrels he is pretty squishy as well so try to hit as many Q's as you can, and remember he can fruit to cleanse your stuns in your mega phase or even frozen mallet, I think you should win this matchup mid to late game but early on can be a pain.”
Nabura says “His Grasp Q trades with corrupting are VERY strong early and can force a bad recall out of you early if you aren't careful. After laning it's all about baiting out his barrels and timing your autos just right. Kayle's auto animations are very quick which is quite handy here.”
EntxRecoil says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. Gangplank with grasp has a really good early game into Tryndamere.

Swaim says “gp is hard since his q poke can prove really painful so try to sustain so you are use full in team fights although be carful as he outscales you by a lot”
ZergDood says “Try not to pick Poppy into this matchup. Captain Oranges will stop any all-in and poke you almost every time you try to CS, so be careful of range and try to get those barrels out with your passive. Maybe you'll like to ask for a gank. His roaming potential and R will really hurt your game, so be careful and don't let him do as he wants.”
qazx1427 says “Sorry, Tobias, but Gangplank is a complete joke of a lane. Similarly to Ryze or Vladimir, GP is just completely useless once he's stuck in the cage. His barrels can hurt and slow, sure, but the only CC you have is your E's slow, so his oranges are practically useless. Just Q his barrels for free healing, then run him down and collect your free LP.”
Ayanleh says “Gangplank can eat an orange to remove mordekaiser ult. his early game poke with Q will also be annoying for morde as morde can no longer heal from minion. ”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “Can go both ways, he has good poke but you can deny barrels with your passive and Q really well, he can W your R so wait for him to use it then ult him.
Take armor.”
Twist21 says “Gankplank will poke you a lot but he runs out of mana fast.Make sure to go fleet and dorans shield and you will win this just by not dying in lane.”
ZzZ3DemonAngelZzZ says “He wont kill you unless you try to kill him. he will be active on the map with his ult so try and roam a lot since his lategame is insane! but you will never win the trades with him... walls are useless because orange.”
DankFlyingCow says “He's a pain in the ass because of his ludicrous speed and ability to negate CC. Just threaten to run him down constantly and he will have difficulty CSing. Ult is a useful tool to get behind him.”
OverCookedFish says “A good GP wont go in unless they know they can kill you, his orange negates the slow for your E or your R, and he will just poke you down with barrels.”
Fiora Pogjet says “Very hard matchup. You need corrupting potion in that matchup. Try to farm until lvl 6 because then u can try to kill him. If he steps too close to you you can try to tarde him.”
Ashookaa says “You both get out of mana very fast
But you can out run his E and than poke him down just with Q and E dont try to use your W very often because he can dogde ”
ModxLoL says “I don't go against many gangplanks when I play in low rank because he's hard to play and he's not very popular. I think Riven actually wins the matchup in low ranks against bad Gangplanks because they get too close, and they don't know how to utilize their barrels properly, but if the Gangplank knows what he's doing, you can't do anything vs. him in the early game. Your goal is to farm in the early game and do your best to react to his Q on you with your E. Once you get a little bit of CDR, you can jump on him pretty easily and combo him down. I can't give Gangplank an accurate rating because depending on how good the player is, it goes from a 1 all the way to a 5.”
Stiwy says “He's very annoiying, he outranges you and if he knows what he's doing he will always be in a good position.
His Q + Grasp damage can hurt and he scales well in the game.
His W can save him from your ult so it will be hard to kill him in laning phase.
If he comes too near you can try to E him and that could be a kill because he has no real escape abilities.
With your W you can break his barrels really fast and doing so will deny a great portion of his damage.”
9690 says “D-Blade. Watch out for his poke and try to get an advantage by roaming, etc. If you can jump on him without flash just drop him. Outscales you. Take Conq.”
gsaeyx says “Build Full AD. Poke him down with q. Don't r into q when he has w up as he can just eat a fucking citris and get out. Dodge barrel and never let him auto, and if you die, kill him in your passive. ”

BloodyDream81 says “Je met 5 car c'est le cas pour un nouveau joueur de Darius, en réalité une fois le perso pris en main, tu as quelques chances de tenir le personnage mais ça reste compliqué !
Contre GP, dans tes runes tu dois prendre le rush phasique et en arbre secondaire "Second souffle", qui est une rune qui te donne de la regen vie quand tu prend des dégâts, en effet GP va énormément te mettre des pressions avec son sort à distance spammable, pour éviter ça, tu dois push rapidemment les waves de sbires à l'aide de ton A, et reculer.
Si tu arrives à subir sans être derrière en farm, au moment où tu as les tabi ninjas et le phage, là tu as ta chance de le tuer en utilisant correctement ton fantôme si il s'avance un peu trop !
Astuce : Essaie d'absolument éviter la zone de ses tonneaux, sachant qu'li peut les liés entre eux au moment de l'explosion, car cela te fera beaucoup de dégâts et te ralentira, une fois que tu pourras en éviter le plupart, le match up sera jouable. Ceci étant dit la lane reste très désagréable, alors force à toi et ne lâche rien ! ”
Dantheman81 says “Gangplank is not very hard to lane against since you can auto then immediately Q to destroy barrels easily. Just make sure to focus the barrels and whenever you trap him he doesn't have much of an escape. He also does not build much health or resistances at all so you'll be getting max damage off almost all game. His new rune set up is pretty cheesy but it shouldn't effect you too much.”
Twiggymocha says “Gangplank is a major pain to play versus. He has his orange that allows him to remove your ult and q stun. He can also harass you from a distance with his q. I would recommend maxing out e vs gangplank.”
Xplor says “I think against Gangplank I have 100% winrate. Maybe because to really play out-of-the-ordinary as gangplank will require a tremendous skill level, and even then, poking Gangplank with Yorick is real.
Stay out of his barrel's range. ”

Angela du Seithr says “Gangplank peut être un problème pour vous, mais concrètement il n'a pas nécessairement les armes pour vous tuer si vous ne faites pas d'idiotie. Cependant il restera devant vous avec son ultime si c'est un bon joueur de Gangplank.”
Alzeidx says “Very hard matchup, he will kite you and win any trades, as you will not be able to reach him, farm safely, avoid barrels, ask for ganks, build tanky, get some sustain. Go conqueror and armor runes.”
Nyx Adachi says “Se quita tu cc con su w, te puede quitar demasiado con sus barriles, puede denegar tu ayuda a otras lineas con su ulti, trata de pedirle ayuda a tu jg para sacar ventaja (free kill early) contra gp o de lo contrario te superará en late.”
TotallyEclipse says “Can be really rough. His barrels will chunk you super hard and his q spam will also chunk your hp. Your best bet is to look for an all in lvl 1 or 2 and kill him, or try to set up a freeze and commit to all ins. You can max q second and spam jump onto him if you want to commit to hard all ins. Otherwise, he'll poke you out of lane and you cant do anything. If you can go even or get a lead, you'll outscale.”
JuarezLOL says “try to dominate gp in early game like lvl 1 2 3 but wait for his passive to be in CD
1 thing you can use in your advantage is your Q range you can take out his barrels
your lvl 6 is extremely powerful in this match up”
JuarezLOL says “you need to block his Q with your E and trade with him but as the game goes on you get stronger and you need to take our his barrels with Q surprise on barrel not in early in mid/late game remember to take out his barrels all the time”
Narghuls says “Early Pain in the ass with grasp.
Will destroy you early on by placing barrels in the lane. From level 6 and onwards u should win this matchup,”
DirtyDishSoap says “He'll be really f-ing annoying the first few levels, but he can never truly kill you unless you just stay in lane until he Q's you to death. Get a Dorans shield and Tabi and you basically win the lane.”
report singed ty says “A good GP will ruin your game. Good thing they usually suck. Make sure when proxying that he cant see your recall, or he will likely send an ult your way. His ult also means you can't execute after he hits 6 because he will just use it as you're taking tower shots for the free kill, so make sure if you proxy that you are going to be fine recalling back, or that his ult is on cooldown.
In lane he will just spam harass on you while healing anything you trade back, so proxy nonstop until you hit level 6 and you can win a 1v1 if you all in with ult + ghost assuming you have the room. He can speed boost himself with his barrels so if he's not completely extended its easy for him to get back to his tower before you can finish him off.”
Sq_09 says “Gp is basicall not a character pre 13. You can poke him some and he can't rly engage you. He can however poke back a bit with Parrrrley. Later you are kinda useless vs him tho since his ms just completely shits on your slow. You also can't rly deny barrels or an R so just focus on other things. ”
Kingarthur720 says “gangplank is like mundo he scales well into the lategame but only if he gets soe kills to start snowballing, if you are able to keep him controlled he wont be a nuisance till late game when hell start getting kills. Alot of gps might want to be aggressive early game and you beat them early game due to range, less mana issues and sustain/speed with fleet. Any build really works into GP but dont go grasp into him, you become tankier but he scales quicker with grasp than you do so thats my only pointer against him.”
VIP Titan says “GP is a long range melee champion. So it is confusing in what to build against him. But you can runs clothes armor to fight up.
Tips:
Stacks armor up in early and max E. So you are still doing tons of damage on him.
MAX E not Q ! ”
HIGH TEST TOP88 says “PRETTY BROKEN IN LANEPHASE, HAS ALOT OF SUSTAIN AND POKE, HARD TO STICK TO HIM ASWELL, WAIT FOR HIM TO WASTE W THEN ALLIN LVL 6 WITH CUTLASS AND R, QUITE ROUGH IF HE IS GOOD”
SirDrPotato says “Even match up but you need to play very calmly, gangplank is very frustrating to play against since he has insane poke potential with Graps of the undying (rune) + his Parrrley. Make sure you start with Doran's Shield or Corrupting Potion. You should be able to easily destroy his barrels thanks to your E auto attack reset. (this means you can Auto attack and instantly auto attack again using your E, no need to wait for your Auto attack animation to end). Also, there's a chance you can kill him with some ease once you have your ultimate.”
Subject3 says “his oranges can let him get out of your swallow and stop your q slow, its hard to engage against him so best way to win would be to do the unpredictable, flash q, thats usually how i got my first kill on gang plank that or lvl 1 fight.
even if he does orange your close enough to still auto poke him and then swallow, he doesnt have his orange ability up to make the swallow go away so your in the clear
so simply flash close enough to auto attack and quickly q to bait an orange.”
Vodka4Gaben says “Really annoying to play against, you will probably never kill him unless he advances too far, so a boring lane. However if he oversteps just a little, E his spirit in and ult, he will get overwhelmed and killed.”
Milxno says “This is just the worst matchup for Shen IMO. He pokes you from very far away and you can't do anything in the whole laning phase. I'd recommend banning GP, but if you don't, just try to roam alot with ult and don't die in lane.”
Starci says “The movement speed from his barrles make it really hard to catch him and kill him. Plus, his poke from his Q is really annoying and does a lot of damage. Hard lane”
Discord Rengar Mains says “You wreck his shit so hard it's somewhat sad. Barrels just give you gold and a place to jump to if you time it right, he is squishy as hell and the only annoying thing about him is the fact his W is just a lifesaver. In the worst case scenario, lane will turn into a farm lane, but even then you can still pressure him somewhat. He scales pretty hard however and his ult gives him global pressure, so the sooner you end the game, the better; else you will just be eating powder the whole game. Do note that at higher elos GPs can become much more terrifying if they play their cards correctly though. Flash+ignite is a good pick if you want to wreck his shit ASAP. Most rune pages work well here, but you might want either conqueror or HoB.

Has true dmg, Movespeed and insanely high damage. Play agressive earlygame, try to poke him as much as you can.
Hes immobile so if he uses W, Ult him and finish him off”
Circas says “I have this marked as even for a reason.
Gangplank as most people think is a very easy match up for Irelia BUT if you ever come across a Gangplank that actually knows how to play you might struggle a bit.
Pay attention to his wave management. If he freezes it by his tower which is very possible you are in trouble. Gangplank can control waves at any point in the game because he has the ranged ability to break a freeze.
Hitting stuns on a proactive gangplank can be hard and he will poke you really hard. If you are struggling against his poke I recommend picking up an early Doran's shield and sitting on a cloth armor to help out the early game.
Your level 6 power spike is much stronger so if you are struggling to go in on him before hand wait until 6. If Gangplank is is using Parrrley (Q) off CD and spamming it early pay attention to his mana because he will run out fast.
Thing to note. Gangplank gets a ton of move speed when he blows up a barrel so a way to catch him off guard is to sit back far out of range, bladesurge (Q) to a minion, quickly auto the barrel, and deny him the move speed and look to all in. When ever he has a flaming sword this is his passive Trial by Fire and it will burn you for true damage and give him move speed. It is very important to destroy barrels before going in on him because if Gangplank destroys a barrel it resets his passive.
This should be an easier lane but proceed with caution at first. No need to force because once you have some items you can just run him down.”
Hiimpurple says “you kite him out, you should win most trades in this match up, I recommend taking revitalize so your healing from your passive and grasp rune can help you stay in lane longer”
Rivenetto says “Another super scaling champion.Make sure u have dorans shield and second wind,maybe take first ability E to shield his early Q,s,trade him at level 3 and if u survive until level 6 just all in him”
classicnoob says “Alot of people,think this is a hard matchup,but trust me it isn't.
He doesnt have anything really to outtrade you cuz alot of Gankplank players,Are rusty with their Barrels and fail most of the time.You have more sustain,Tankiness,and also he doesn't really have anything to run away from you.”
SuperPopo7 says “Farm the wave with your q and try to all in as early as possible. if you cant get to him let him push then all in level 6 with jungler”
Cats4lyfe123 says “Gangplank can poke you out at level 1, so just be careful. Around level 3 you can start going for all ins. Be careful of his barrels, they can do a lot of damage.”
Nicklstherealone says “HE WILL PEMANENTLY ANNOY YOU WHILE FARMING AND GIVE YOU A SHOT. HIS ULT ALSO MARKS A HUGE CIRCLE WHICH CAN MAKE YOU STAY ON RANGE. ALSO HE WILL BE ABLE TO REACT FOR YOUR ENGAGES AND JUST PLACES BARRELS. TIP: THERE IS NO TIP. ”
DabPajusDab says “Does counter you in some what. His orange can stop you're e and r. But if you are ahead you will outdamage him and will win lane. Try dodging his barrel shots and freeze for you're jungler to come.”
Dejuronto says “Gangplank can do a lots of damage once he gets sheen. The best thing for you to do against him is to try to start a trade against GP. That way if you see him use his orange, you can send him to the Realm of Death. If you don't time it carefully and use your ult too early, he'll just eat his orange and escape the realm of death. You can still kill him since you'd still have the stats for 7 seconds. It'd just be hard to since he could get movement speed and run back to turret or his jungler.”
Death Rusofag says “Se quita el CC que le pongas, su daño es muy alto y te pokea con su Q sin que puedas hacer mucho. Trata de aguantar y esquivar sus barriles, farmea y espera ganks.”
PrettyPinkPutin says “Do not let GP hold you at a distance, to win fights against him you need to dodge his barrels, either by using R or dedicating your precious damage to kill them, either way he gets very pressured when a champ gets too close to him, be wary of his orange heal.”
AkenoSenpai says “Should be a fairly easy match up, as Gankplank is not a very oppresive laner. Make sure to not eat to much of his Q poke and just all in him with stacked passive. If hes sitting on a barrel try to jump to a low hp minion near the barrel and hit the barrel first then him. While he can remove ur stun, it doesn't really matter much as he will still lose a great chunk of hp on ur all in. If you have ur ult up it will propably cost him either flash or his life. ”
lugzinho says “A pirate with 1000000MS, an orange which can liberate him from your Q slow, the perma Q poke and healing with grasp and that Sheen powerspike and late game SUPER DAMAGE.
Pretty annoying I know, try to stick to him avoiding his barrel slows.
Start Doran's Shield so you can regen most of his poke.”
Thr3shPrinc3 says “I am putting Gangplank as a "Major" threat since he does have the advantage in this lane. However, you can still win this lane if you play it correctly. The lane will depend on how well you deny Gangplank's barrels and how well he times his W. I would not call this a "skill" matchup, but rather a "knowledge" matchup. Just keep poking him with your auto-attacks and deny him from barrels, time an engage while his W is on cooldown and you should be able to beat him in lane. You have to play smarter and better then Gangplank to win this lane since going even with him means he will most likely win the lane due to the nature of the champ.”
ForgottenProject says “Take Corrupting Potion to stop his Q Poke
Parry his Grasp Qs/Burn Passive to slow him and get your combo off
Play around his burn passive and predict his barrel combos
You can always AA Barrels to deny him from using them”
Gunford says “Hes has nothin against you. His sustain is annyoing and he will try to farm under tower. Just poke him out of the lane and dodge or shot his barrels. Easy lane.”
Braddik says “Can be really rough. His barrels will chunk you super hard and his q spam will also chunk your hp. Your best bet is to look for an all in lvl 1 or 2 and kill him, or try to set up a freeze and commit to all ins. Otherwise, he'll poke you out of lane and you cant do anything. If you can go even or get a lead, you'll outscale.”
spaceriftmaster says “The main reason that Gangplank is here is because he can just use his W (which is his orange) to just leave your death realm and walk away. Gangplank would be a bigger threat but he's hardly picked.”
Darkseige555 says “This is a very rough matchup. I wouldn't say it is worth baning him, but he will give you a hard time. The only chance to win lane is to kill him before he has enough gold for a sheen. If you can hit your powerspike before he hits his, you should be able to lane against him. If not, he will q you over and over, eating oranges to cleanse your e. Very annoying matchup and I tend to try to switch with mid if he gets trinity before I get my first item.”
Pedrokis says “Não é uma lane tão difícil, exceto se o cara não for o Tobias Fate, o Hydro ou algum main muito brabo. / O poke dele é chato, cuidado com o Q dele. / Abusa do seu E pra desviar dos barris (dash pra trás caso você esteja low ou se o jungler inimigo estiver por perto; dash pra frente caso a fight for boa pra você). / Se ele usar a laranja (W) errado, você ganha bastante potencial pra startar com o W e com o primeiro Q, talvez forçando um flash dele.”
The Lost Drawing says “Te hace counter.
Se cura, si sabe usar los barriles te va a ganar en farmeo y en los intercambios.
Normalmente van con 'Aliento del agonico' lo cual es muy pesado, asi que armate 'Botas Tabi' de 1° objeto.
Las TF las ganas tu”
Joaking says “Good gangplanks are good.
-Start with your E to dodge his Q.
-Bait his barrels and dodge them with E+Q.
-You have to freeze the lane and wait until he is in an uncomfortable position, so you can all in breaking his barrels. If he hits you a barrel, he'll easily escape and you'll waste your ult and your freeze.”
Daedralus says “Dodging barrels can be hard, and you will get harassed by his Q quite a bit, but you can heal it off. He has the potential to burst you down before you can heal, and get rid of your cc, but your healing will enable you to win trades regardless.”
Pickle Pick says “Almost a major threat. He constantly pokes with Q and your all in won't do enough damage to last. Be sure to go in if he's OOM early game.”
EnchantedCat says “Gangplank is just a really annoying matchup to play because he's just going to spam you with Q early game and the casual E if he lands it, though he isn't much of a threat since you can sustain his damage and dodge his E's with your W movement speed. You have the range advantage so just sustain his poke until you get 6 then start poking him down to kill him after. Though don't underestimate his damage, he does hurt.”
VicGal96 says “You wreck his shit so hard it's somewhat sad. Barrels just give you gold and a place to jump to if you time it right, he is squishy as hell and the only annoying thing about him is the fact his W is just a lifesaver. In the worst case scenario, lane will turn into a farm lane, but even then you can still pressure him somewhat. He scales pretty hard however and his ult gives him global pressure, so the sooner you end the game, the better; else you will just be eating powder the whole game. Flash+ignite is a good pick if you want to wreck his shit ASAP. Most rune pages work well here, but you might want either conqueror or HoB.”
TheRevenantsHand says “This is the guy you should permaban. No matter of you're a good Mordekaiser, if you can beat everyone, dodge every parry, well this guy? He'll just eat an orange and ther you go, you don't have ult anymore. You should be able to beat him in 1v1s, but be careful, he always has ult, you don't”
Valorkyrie Quinn says “Simply annoying with klepto proc. Also his waveclear is better than Quinn, with his barrels.
Tip: Bring Fleet and buy Doran's shield if you are struggling against his poke.
Attack his barrels when they almost reach the bursting state.”
BeautifulWinter says “This lane can go either way as your job is to stop his barrel game. If you can stop him from getting too many barrel attacks on you, you should win.
Ping his Level every once and a while to remind your team that he has global ult.
Prior to 6 passive. Post 6 agro when ult is up.”
feederfromelohell says “Good gp players will constantly poke you with Q and barrels but below dia you should be able to farm their barrels for hp and push non-stop.”
IvaoManeirao says “really hard matchup just like most "ranged" champions (he's not ranged but you get what i mean) and Gangplank is an special case since it's really really hard to get close to him even by using flash, take Doran's Shield and Second Wind and wait for an opportuniy and/or just try to farm safely.”
Big Belly Bop says “His Q's hurt but you can negate that with your Q. Take out his barrels and watch out for bushes. Good GP's put barrels in bushes to combo off of. Flash + TP, Doran's Shield + 1 HP, Sustain rune page.”
ExfIamed says “Aside from the insanely aids Q spam through the entire laning phase that has no cooldown on it, you win this pretty easily in fact, as long as you ignite him before he W's (His heal) when you go to ult him you win, just gotta try not to kill yourself dealing with the Q spam for the first 10 minutes.”
ElementalZyrus says “If the GP knows what he's doing, he can reliably fight and pressure you. Call for ganks and take out his barrels as often as possible.”
9690 says “Moderately annoying early as he can poke us down hard with Q and grasp. Build early tabi in this lane and try to concede early CS without taking too much damage. We win hard post 6 so just survive the miserable early lane. Trade back if you see an opening but vs a good GP we don't win early.”
Verdehile says “A good gp can use barrels for ms and kiting you after qing you a lot. You can spin to aa his barrels to all him. If you dont do that and he hits the barrel to slow you, you wont win the trade. Later on he can either outskill you and outscale you simultaneously or you can outskill him and outscale him simultaneously. It comes down to who's better. If you think yo can beat him early take ign, if not take ghost for the late game.”
Loevely says “A good GP that goes Grasp is harder to kill than you'd imagine. Despite that it's still a pretty Rengar
favored matchup early on. Fleet/Grasp are your go-to's in this matchup. Jump on him as often as possible so as to not
allow him to make money off of his Q.”
Defensivity1 says “Contest his barrels if you lose then he can become a huge threath, its mainly a skill matchup Never attempt to dive a gangplank when his w is not on cooldown it is recommanded to go with the conqueror page, every time he q's make sure to have 3 ghouls ready to trade with him, when he presses q you could aim your e at his location and it will hit as when his q goes off he stands still.”
Quezel says “Gangplank has a very easy time kiting you with barrels and denying your ult with oranges while he pokes you down with q and barrels and passive procs look to farm this lane out and take Second Wind to deny him some poke if you ever hit him with e when he doesn't have a barrel to slow you then you hard win the trade if he oranges at all before you ult you can ult him and kill him but be careful if he has ult or barrels still up.”
SNOBOY says “Gangplank can be annoying, if he can play it really well. His zoning with barrels can be a lot. However, he takes a bit to scale up. Whenever he tries to hit you with his Q, you do the same. Sure he can heal with his W, but he is rather squishy and immobile so he is quite easy to combo down. Bully him hard.”
mightydylan101 says “Gangplank is easy to deal with just be aware and run out of his barrels and poke him out. Beware as the barrels will do a lot of damage so don't let him snowball early.
”
ProgettoYorick says “GP can hit you every now and then with his Q, but nothing more. OTP tip: Hit it as soon as you get to level 3 and an engage at level 6 if you can mark it with E and close it with W, it will be forced to use the flash or die.”
Greekamol says “His Q poke is very annoying, take corrupting pot and poke vitals with q. Destroy barrels, and parry the grasp q. Beware of lots of poke.”
ThisIsJustSad says “This is a difficult matchup.
1. Auto his Barrels not when they only have one tick left but slightly before. Get used to the delay between you right clicking and the auto attack damage actually going through.
2. GP will beat you if you don't force an engage since he can spam Q after he gets Sheen to auto win lane.
3. Look to freeze the wave so you can force an engage. If you don't do so, you'll usually get poked out of lane.
4. Try to not use your E slow and W slow at the same time. Try to wait for him to use his W on one of them. If he doesn't use his orange on the E slow, after it's done, you can use W.
5. Be prepared for his W healing and R damage + slow, since that will make fights a little more difficult than you expect
6. You win every fight where he doesn't manage to hit you with a barrel. ”
Skarner Main says “Gankplank is kinda annyoing because of his oranges that brakes your cc and his barrels that gives him speed when he attacks his barrels
He outscale you bigtime but hes beatible if his barrels are down Just rush at him and DONT use your R before he uses his orange (w)
And Try Kill the new barrels he will use that will help you stick on top of him because if he hits you with the barrels you just get slowed and he will outrun you and just poke you down
You beat him if you get alot of cdr
You get a huge powerspike from CDR ”
Karnan says “A notorious counterpick back in the days. Gangplank doesn't see much pick in soloQ because he isn't that strong until very very late. He also has a hard learning curve and most people dislike that. But if you get the matchup you wanna be aggressive. Don't let him take over the lane cause then you will have a hard time coming back into it. If he puts up barrels, be confident in taking them down or force him to activate them. ”
AlienMV says “Watch for his Q and E barrels
The unfortunate part of this match up is his Q is undodgable, and has pretty decent range. The best you can do is try and minimize the damage you take when going for CS, and to pay attention to his barrels.”
Lasoor says “[Top] This is a very easy match up for Yorick assuming you are good at playing your champion. You can easily dodge Gangplank's abilities and if you build the split push build you will move fast enough to consistently kill Gangplank despite his speedups and slows. ”
CrimsonAngel1 says “This guy. His Q-Grasp proc is enough to get you down to half HP. To minimize damage, just get enough to buy the Corruption Potion and a Doran's Shield and return to lane with some sustain.”
Mr. Nyahr says “Avoid his barrels, but be ready to get poked by his Q all lane. If you think you have the damage, all-in him early and get him behind.”
The Apex Dealsman says “this can go either way. if he can cleanse you and ghost barrel it's gonna be a hard lane. if he can't do these then he is easy kills.”
Nightblue33 says “A Good GP will put barrels under him and make it impossible to trade him. You may win 1v1s, but his team fights are much better. I ban him every time. Take Dorans Shield.”
Ze mentira says “Max: Q Rune: Comet page.
start corrupt potion and back with dark seal and doran's ring to a good poke.
//Iceborn Gauntlet is a good item to fight him.
//just poke and back.”
MordeStar says “Gangplank being the fair champion he is will never try to fight you, and instead will just q you with grasp of the undying. Oh, and he can cleanse morde ult with his orange. Try to farm from distance using Q/E when his Q is up with grasp proc, and try to bait out his orange before ulting him and running him down after 6. Sometimes you can bait him when he's blowing up barrels next to you so he thinks he wins trades, then ult him so his barrels don't damage you. Try to utilise W heal to stay healthy from his endless poke.”
Hamstertamer says “One word : oranges. Your slow is useless if he has it up, and his movement speed steroids are stupid. He can kite you indefinitely while poking you, and you can't do much. Well, the cooldown on his oranges is twice the cooldown on your W, and there's ghost, so you can use that if he overextends. IBG is a way to actually slow him. But overall, trade farm, sustain his poke with your passive, and call for ganks, or just ban him.”
Pacal Votan says “Just ignore him and keep farming. He's mana hungry and cant kill you, but it's important after the first recall you buy AT LEAST a Glacial Shroud + doran blade, or if he's making trouble just buy a doran ring and max E.”
Guantecillo says “Puede mantener mucha distancia y debilitarte sólo con pokeo, tú sólo trata de farmear y comprarte lo más pronto posible tu Sablepistola, y Gp ya no será un problema.”
SummonedLight says “Doable if you proxy. 9/10 times he will try to either stall the wave away from tower taking major damage/ he will chase you. Late game he can 1 v 1 you if you are even with him.”
DVL CHALLNGR says “He can only burst you with his E's but you can dodge them with your own. You have the advantage to hit Q1, Q2 and W when he casts Q because he won't be able to move and even if he targets you you can do Life Steal too. You can easily run away from his R by using your own and E”
EpicDan01 says “He can easily poke you down with Grasp procs and Q to win early on, while being able to infuence the map with his R. Once you have rank 2 R and your first two items you have kill pressure. Until then, farm from distance and try to avoid his barrels.”
Rhinoface says “He won't kill you early, but he'll use you to farm grasp/klepto. You'll probably never kill him unless he W's before you ult him for some reason, or with some early ignite cheese. He outscales and outfarms.”
Poppu says “His Q pokes are annoying. He will orange out of your E's, so a suggestion is to either out trade him or go full tank and wait for ganks. I don't really have trouble against GPs, I don't E them to walls as much unless I know they used an Orange, and I always play around my grasp and Q CDs. I E minions to close the gap, tag him with Q, and grasp and I run with W. Outpoke and you eventually win.”
Aizo says “This matchup is extremely difficult because gangplank has better earlygame and lategame than Maokai. He will poke you out from range in lane and make things very difficult for you.”
SoulHero says “Shoots you until you're dead. You win late, you straight up yeet on him so hard around mid to late. If you take second wind dorans shield, you will thank me a lot. Try to cs, if he barrels you, shield it by dashing back. If he approaches cs, you can flip him if you are around same health. You win lvl 1 e trade. If he slows you with barrel, and wants to proc his passive on you, you flip and knee him to death. You can shred his barrels at lvl 9 by toggling it. If he has klepto, just outcs him, don't lose a lot of cs due to that rune. Heres the thing, he can ORANGE your flip, most likely not, but he can and it will cancel your flip. he can also orange you're ulti, but if he does it too late, you drag him to you, but he doesn't get grinded. I recommend chaining flip right after ult to cc him. try to put distance between him and his safe zone eg. teammates/ tower. when your pulling him. You win if you don't get poked by barrels. You win if you fight melee.”
notlmaze says “Honestly, barrels gone, Gangplank gone. Destroying his barrels can allow you to duel him even better but when he gets a sheen you have to be careful of his Q damage output.”
Vodka4Gaben says “Avoid him at all costs, its a barely winnable lane because you just can't do anything against him, He will barrel spam you across the lane and you won't be able to do anything, I recommend banning him in most situations”
Petethebossch says “Scales well into the team-fight but can't do anything 1v1 after6 and can't pressure you much before that. Can also be ganked easily if pushing in.”
HarryCao says “This match up is super annoying if the GP knows what hes doing. A smart GP will sit under his barrel and immediately when you engage he will explode the barrel and just walk away. The only way to win this match up is capitalizing on his mistakes such as jumping on him if hes not under a barrel or near one. Ask your jungler for help as if you get a bit ahead you should be able to fight him. RUSH SHEEN then phage as the sheen damage will help you trade with him.”
TiuHiikou says “Hard lane, he can poke you REALLY hard... If u're against an GP, ask for ganks, cuz if u get about 3 kills on him, u can have a chance.”
Lynboe says “Il est plus difficile d’affronter Gangplank qu'à l’époque du à la tankiness que lui apporte le rune Grasp en plus des ressources qu’il possédait déjà (slow,damages…).
Mais Gangplank scale aussi bien que Darius.
prendre un Doran’s shield ainsi que Second Wind permettra de résister plus facilement à l’early game, acheter rapidement un Phage ainsi que des Mercures ou des Tabi (en fonction de la composition adverse) vous permettra de l’atteindre très facilement, ou du moins de le faire reculer en mettant une auto-attaque sur un cs et en lui courant dessus avec la mouvement speed bonus du phage (qui s’applique à chaque dégât occasionné par le saignement).
Si vous arrivez à prendre l’avantage sur lui, freeze les vagues de creeps proche de votre tourelle et vous placer entre les sbires distances et mêlée vous permettra de creuser l’écart entre vous deux jusqu’au point de non-retour.
”
Jnewbringspain says “Gangplank is pretty easy, but difficult to secure a kill. He will likely spam Parrrley early on, so make sure you pick up Vampiric Scepter first. If you avoid his barrels, you should have enough sustain to be ok. After sheen and level 6, auto a minion twice, jump to him, empower and hit him. Back off afterward. He will struggle against this move, but once again be careful to not get caught in his barrels.”
messketchup says “Kind of an easy lane. His Q poke can be quite annoying and he can W out of your E and slow and run away quite quickly. His orange can also cancel your W slow.”
PandaSenpai101 says “He has no CC abilities, which makes him not able to be stunned with your parry. His oranges are quite annoying, but they cost a lot of mana. If he lacks mana, you should look for an all in. You should aim to parry his barrel chain, and to kill his barrels as much as possible. His Q poke does a lot of damage early, so pick your CS wisely. Remember to ping your teammates when he reaches level 6.”
Devitt45 says “To win this just avoid his barrels. However, try to bait out his oranges before going to ult Gangplank. because he can survive if he heals at the right time.”
Zestysquid says “This is a tricky lane, but I often center it around killing his barrels. The secret is to be ballsy as hell. Q into his barrels and try to last hit them before he shoots them. Even if you miss the last hit, it's a good excuse to blow your escape so he thinks he can kill you. Lead him back into your boxes. Be aware that his oranges can undo your CC.”
TheWils says “A good gangplank can constantly poke and keep up with your cs, i dont see this often so this is why he is only a 4, but for higher ranking people like diamond and above, I would watch out for gangplank”
PogLord says “ULTIMATE STEAL SCORE: 2/5
Very annoying on lane. Be mindful of his barrels. His W i think can dodge your knockup, but he needs very good reflex. His W is pretty much healing 20% of your W, so that trade should be fine, his Q however has a very big poke potential, so does his passive. Either go face. Deny his farming possibilities, that can win the game for you.”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “He is quite annoying early with his constant Q poke, but after you buy Sheen, rush tabis and you can pretty much tower dive him at around lvl 8-9.”
Prince Afghan says “Has an annoying early game spamming the Q either getting grasp stacks or klepto procs. Despite this I'll estimate that 50% of the time all inning at Level 3 will give you a kill, and the other 50% will give you a flash. Level 3 just use all your abilities, he can't escape your W and your damage is simply too much. After that just continue to pressure him and don't get baited in by his ult as it does a lot of damage and slows a lot in the early game.”
M2 Jizu says “Gangplank... se quita tu provocación con su W, te pokea con su Q, te atraviesa la armadura con sus barriles... en early es free kill, en late no tanto.”
Bombabo says “Aatrox is one of the few champs that can deal with Gangplank's early Q spam. Punish him for trying to get grasp procs, and try to stay close to him to generate your passive faster and prevent him from running away”
MadMaster523 says “This matchup shouldn't be too hard since you can poke him down with ur q and you can easily destroy his barrels since you're a range champion.”
0mega best says “Very annoying, destroy his barrels and just farm and try not being poke too much, dont 1v1 him and call for ganks, play very careful and just hope he dosent get fed. Good thing his you beat him later on.”
RainbowNova says “Gangplank isn't the most fun lane to play against as Teemo. He can W most of your stuff away, besides your aa poison since you can just keep aa'ing him after he eats it away. His ultimate is annoying, because of the slow. His Q spam is annoying and his barrels do tons of damage.
All he does is Q, Q, Q, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, orange... orange you glad I am going to stop saying orange now?”
Lil Tidepod says “Early game Gangplank is kind of a joke. He can poke you down relatively easily with his Q, and can clear any of the CC you throw onto him with his W, but after your first tank item this guy is pretty much only useful against you for the slow hitting his barrels give if his jungler ganks. Force him out of the way after your first tank item and crack through the turrets.”
SpellHowly says “There are very few lane matchups in the entire game of league of legends as difficult and one-sided as this, thus the hardest rating is reserved for it alone. Leona vs Gangplank. He has a cleanse and a speed buff which by itself counters half your kit. Aside from being hard to gank or pin down he counters you in a few more ways. His passive makes winning trades as Leona impossible. His Q will unavoidably poke you down and zone you away from farm, particularly in tandem with his barrels, which you will have no way to deal with. Even if you roam his ultimate will allow him to contribute in ruining your skirmishes and he will outscale you massively. Buy Ninja Tabi and try to all-in him when his w is down, with jungle help if at all possible and even still be weary of him. Realistically, he should almost always be the champion you ban.
However, all that is said concerning my experience with Gangplank players around Diamond 3 elo, the one saving grace for Leona is that Gangplank is difficult to execute and should be much less of a threat in lower elos.”
ImpossibleLogic says “Gangplank is pretty much the opposite of Aatrox. He can shot you from range with his Q, can setup barrels to poke and slow you, and his W allows him to escape your Q W combo. When facing off against Gangplank, keep some distance in between you and him and when he tries to setup barrels, take out the first barrel placed. ”
Venomous Aura says “he can kite you so ridiculously with them barrels, try to gain shield and use W before it explodes, follow up with E,Q R if at all possible.”
FunkySoul says “Gangplank is an annoying matchup. I find it best to farm up and occasionally beat him in a trade, but I find that he scales better than you in the late game.”
Scuz Rat says “GP's Q spam and Oranges make harass difficult to survive as your passive needs to be used to break his Barrels. A good gangplank will most likely pull a decent amount ahead of you in gold if you don't focus on farm and opt for a defensive setup”
TechnoRenekton says “After lvl 3 you can poke him with dashing through minions ( E ) using Cull the Meek ( Q ) and dashing out ( E ). Keep distance so you do not get poked by his Q. Buy lifesteal item early. ”
Brentard says “He's gonna shoot ya. And that's ok. I tend to roam early from this lane and come back to catch up on cs. If you can manage get a head by stealing enemy jng. ”
GrGamingTeo says “Kind of an easy lane. His q poke can be quite annoying and he can w out of your e and slow AND run away quite quickly. His w can also cancel your w slow so ceek that in mind as well.”
DrMoneybags says “Starting Long Sword + 3 Pots will help you remain mounted against his Q poke. Try to stay in bushes until you hit level 2 or 3 to all-in with ignite. You should beat him in a sustained fight before he gets items, so abuse that. He has no way to peel you off of him except his barrels either, so make sure to use your dash to dodge them or bait him to blow them up before you go in. Be wary of Grasp gangplank, its fairly annoying. Otherwise, if he goes glass-cannon it shouldn't be too had.”
Big Boy Matty D says “Take short trades in the beginning and try to make him use his oranges to heal / cleanse your slow. When he does you have a window to all in when your Q is back up. Careful not to take too much harass from his Q, use your passive shield well.”
Qubert64 says “Make sure to get athornmail and your fine. try to save your taunt if you can for after he heals as it acts as a cleanse. A gank or two from jg will solidify your lane pretty well.”
The_CuItivator says “A good GP won't massively lose to a Darius. His Teamfight potential is the massive threat as well as the fact that unless he effs up bigtime you'll always need to spend a summoner to kill him.”
Shinxsage says “For this one, you have to blow him up, because his trade damage is too too large. I would recommend going lethality+electrocute or Fleet. Annoying champ”
Shderen says “Skill matchup. Learn to play against GP's - know their barrel decay rate's, etc., be wary of the Sheen powerspike. He WILL farm heavy late game, and his weaknesses early are unmissable. Only thing he can citrus away is your Q slow and E root.”
Zdenster says “Take Arcane Comet. Poke him out when he doesn't have Q. Destroy barrels. Rush Phage if you are on same level. Sheen if you are ahead. Tabis if he is destroying you.”
TheNinjaRoid says “Another annoying lane, his passive procs off his Q and AA. His W removes crowd control, so use your W when his is on cooldown. You win lane after you have Sheen, as long as you aren't behind, as he can't stop you from farming, outside of zoning you off. You win late if you've got stacks and armor.”
Jomppe says “ [Top] This is a very easy match up for Yorick assuming you are good at playing your champion. You can easily dodge Gangplank's abilities and if you build the split push build you will move fast enough to consistently kill Gangplank despite his speedups and slows.”
MediocrePolk says “GP has a terrible early game and you can punish that, take ignite and go long sword 3 pot start. You have to start being careful after 7 because of his passive.”
Khazem says “Fairly straight forward. Gangplank does outscale you but you have a big advantage in the early laning phase. Try to shield his Q spam as much as you can and look to get damage in on him whenever he gets too close.”
Carlosm04 says “GP é pouco complicado, n tenta ser atigindo pelos barrils, quando ele acabar todos barris vai pra cima dele, mas tenha cuidado, seu W tira o CC, tenta fazer q ele gaste o W, ae ce vai pra cima”
The Lost Drawing says “Entre mas avance mas difícil. Lleva runas defensivas contra el ya que su 'Q' es molesta. Opta por un escudo si te siente inseguro. Al comprarse el brillo pega mucho con 'Q' y los barriles meten ya casi igual”
ElleryTheViking says “Absolute ease of a lane. He can do nothing to you, you win at every point of the game and should generally snowball the lane. He'll spam Q level 1 but that's fine. Rush Tabis, or if you're confident, just go the usual Phage first item. If he walks into melee range, he's not getting away from Ghost and your Q E spam. Let him push and then run him down when he gets comfortable.”
E61K says “Start Doran's Shield and take Second Wind. Now... Cpt.Spankplank can either be a very good GP and have a barrel under his hairy ass constantly and bully you with barrels and slowly whittle you down with Sheen+Grasp Q procs and perfectly make use of his W to avoid as much CC as possible for him or he can be a very bad GP and don't have a "safety barrel" by his side at all times. Investing in some early armor to negate a majority of his poke is crucial as well as rushing boots to get into ranged to E him. Utilizing the "Rage" passive from Phage will let you get close enough to pull him. Since it's meta to run Grasp on GP nowadays go Conqueror against him since you will need the extra damage. ”
SwiftOblivion says “Strengths: High Mobility, Sustain, Outscales. Weaknesses: Weak early game, Squishy. A bit of an annoyance because he really doesn't have much CC to riposte. It’s mainly damage from his barrels that you need worry about. If you avoid enough of these, you should be fine. Be sure to put as much pressure and damage onto him because his sustain with his oranges are high and the passive movement speed makes him hard to lockdown with your only CC being your E slow. Your ultimate should make quick work of him and if needed, ask your JG for a gank to make sure he doesn't scale faster than you. The early game is his weakest point in the game so take advantage of that. Also, Iceborn Gauntlet isn't a bad option to try if you're having trouble locking him down.”
Miracle Matter says “GP is a fun skill matchup. When he runs forward to poke with Q, return with your own Q, and toss an auto in as well. You'll generally break even. Try to last-hit barrels before him if he's not very experienced. If he's a very good gangplank, you'll never get the chance, so just walk back and forth to bait him into blowing his barrels where he thinks you're walking (but just back out of it.)
His Orange should make him counter you, but in reality it just helps him survive you a bit longer. Harass him constantly once you have mana. Use Ignite+Ult to dive him.”
Suthafru says “Gangplank - gangplank's q cant out damage your auto attacks, and is much less frequent, once you stack crit you can run out of his barrel range easily, and all game you can shoot his barrels before he can.
keep your distance and you bully him”
NOH giel says “Gangplank trades your damage very well. It is hard to find an engage because of the speed GP gets when popping abilities.
Also, when you ult Gangplank in, he can heal himself during the proces of getting pulled in and dodge the execution that way.”
kkiskk says “This match up can be either easy or difficult. Try to heal with your W from his Q poke as much as you can. Dodge his E barrel explosion to avoid being killed, it does insane damage. Always watch out for barrels in bushes. Don't fight him in his R. Replace ignite with ghost if you're experienced. ”
Vincheelo says “Skill matchup to see who can hit his Powder Keg first. His Trial by Fire passive hurts and his Cannon Barrage can help him and his team out a lot. He pokes you a lot, just all in him.”
n41L1L says “Let me list off the annoyingness of Gangplank. % missing health heal, true damage, free 625 range auto attack that applies on hit effects, a cleanse, way too much range, and the ability to crit with splash damage.”
Proxxecube says “Gangplank is fairly annoying, as his Q opens up opportunities for a number of runes that can cripple you early. But, once he uses it, immediately go in for about 2-3 seconds, then fall back to avoid being hit against. In lane phase, if you get hit with a barrel, you deserved it.”
Nichao says “Sempre vá quebrar os barris não deixe ele te dar o dano com o barril, Se ele estiver te dando muito harass faça tabi ninja de first item para negar bastante o dano do ''Q'' dele.”
Zahkar00 says “Either would work (Preferably Glacial).
GP isnt much of a threat but he is annoying cause he can poke. Just use Bravado for his Barrels and you should be fine overall.”
Trixelkour says “Pretty useless against you but can still hurt you real bad if you let him. Go for a more tanky build and you should be able to win this Yohoe excuse for a Pirate. Take Grasp and maybe Phase Rush.”
heyitsRainex says “Be careful of his barrels + Q as those 2 are his source of poke and damage. His only source of healing is his W. If you're looking to kill him, get multiple trades off him and eventually he'd have to recall.”
GUAGUAMA says “He can poke you, and has decent sustain, but you can poke back and block his ult with your r. Be careful of barrels and use E to dodge if necessary.”
E61K says “One of the worst matchups for Yasuo given that the Spankplank is even semi-decent. He will have grasp and he will poke the ever living f out of you. With Sheen + Grasp his Q's become disgustingly powerful and rushing tabis doesn't help that much either. With the addition of Stormrazor he comes online stupidly quick and has guaranteed crit barrels on demand. Add to the fact that his passive deals flat true damage over time and your base health is low and you got yourself a hard counter. So how do you beat this guy? Well, first of all you have to be mechanically good enough to destroy his barrels and avoid their damage. After that it's a matter of smart usage of your Wind Wall and all-in every time you get the chance to. GP can't kite you without barrels in lane. You're too mobile. Start DShield to somewhat counter his constant Q poke If the poke gets too much or you are looking for some more sustain in lane don't hesitate to pick up an early vamp scepter. If you destroy his barrels before he can detonate them you cut his damage output in half, if not even more. It's all about the barrels. Ping your team once he hits 6 as his ult can turn fights around cross-map. He can W out of your ultimate but he will still take the damage. He just won't be suspended in the air. If he has his W up ult him instantly without auto attacking first or you won't be able to. Pick up a Randuin's Omen later into the game.”
undeadsoldiers says “Gangplank - Conqueror
Early items (in order) - Tiamat, Boots (into Tabi if he's ahead), Phage
- All in lvl 1-2 (passive stacked)
- Push lane hard lvl 1 to get lvl 2 first (he'll naturally push the lane back)
- All in lvl 6 (especially if you have lvl 6 advantage or his ult is on cooldown)
- Play aggressive in lane (all ins when passive is stacked)
- He’ll try to poke you down with his Q (be ready with W to mitigate the damage)
- Careful after he gets Trinity
- Dodge his barrels with Q
- Ult cooldown: 180/160/140
”
undeadsoldiers says “He'll have to use mana to last-hit and poke you - and to cleanse your bubble. Stay off your wave and reasonably far away from the brush to avoid getting hit by barrels.
You can bait out his W with your E, then since his W is on a loooong cooldown and your E is on a slightly shorter cooldown, you may be able to put him to sleep again while it's still down.
You can dodge a barrel explosion with your ult.
GP will scale if allowed to farm, so deny him CS as much as you can and generally be a lot more careful starting around 15 minutes into the game.
Suggested: Rush Armguard if you're having a hard time”
Zachlikespizza says “The only real problem with gangplank is that he will outscale you. However you're at your strongest in lane where he's at his weakest. So just go nuts and keep the pressure on”
ThebestGP says “Doesn't need to fight you to win the trade, the amount of gold he obtains will cause you to lose the trades eventually. Push the wave and cause him to lose gold under his tower. Play aggressive.”
LivesforOnlyOne says “Constantly trade because whether he goes Klepto or Grasp he'll either make money off you for free, or start stacking health and winning poke you down heavily for free. Keep pressure on him and force defensive ults, thus relieving your teammates of his implied pressure. Take Phase Rush and run him down denying what little self peel he has in this matchup. If you're good deny barrel chains by destroying them with good timing. You heavily outscale and win the splitpush with Phase Rush. Riposte for a slow and to deny a sheen proc barrel.”
Teemo Mochileiro says “Sempre que ele usar o Q para farmar vá para cima e pokeie ele. A partir do seu lv2 você ganhará as trocas, se acertar um básico + Q.”
Rading says “He just pokes you down with is pistol and barrels. He still is very squishy tho so just try to bait him into your traps. Very difficult for a beginner.”
Coelinha says “Upe o ''E'' level 1, Use somente se ele usar o "Q" dele em você// Se ele usar o "Q" nos minions ou o "R" nas outras lanes,ta liberado matar ele.”
DreamDaddy says “you out range his barrels so you can take them out before he can blow them up. just be careful of bushes as he can hide a barrel in a bush and surprise you.”
Skullsunderer says “Gangplank can heal and QSS, has poke other top laners lack. Otherwise you will out damage him straight out and in early game. Buy armor to negate some damage from his Parrrly and auto attacks. Only CC him if he already used his Cure Scurvy, as it disables all Crowd Control on him. ”
joelblack says “Gangplank will be Gangplank. Which means he will always poke the shit out of you with his Q. Patience is essential in this matchup. Luckily, he has pretty low mana/mana regen early game and won't be able to pick at you as much. His W will rid your first stun, to try to R him into a wall and wait for him to use his W, then use Wallop to stun again and get your damage out. As long as you wait for the right moment to go in and you get some pretty decent poke out yourself, you'll be able to all in him and kill him easy. ”
CaioOP1985 says “Like you, GP is weak early. Like you, he is a monster late. His poke is insanely scary, his W cancels your Wither, his E give him armor penetration and his Ult slows you down and may deal true damage. Try to farm as close to your tower as possible and do not give him any lead.”
OrangeBeard says “His q and e poke is massive, you cant engage on him unless you are getting a gank from your jungle, in which case you need to bait out his w before you ult him, and get better at timing his barrels, you will need that skill to fight him”
Dacnomaniak says “This lane will be very frustrating, he will Q you every chance he gets and you have no real way to fight him unless you can stun him when his W is down. Try just keep up in farm.”
CamilleN1 says “You dont wanna let GP get the gold lead on you since your early builds are very similar and in this matchup either one will stomp the other one”
IllIlllIIlI says “GP Is EXTREMELY annoying in lane. One of my personal nemesis champions.
He has it all, he's fast, he does damage, he has slows and self healing + anti-cc.
You want to avoid his poke as much as you can and be careful with trades as he can still pack a decent punch.”
galvapheonix says “Gangplank is not very hard to lane against since you can auto then immediately Q to destroy barrels easily. Just make sure to focus the barrels and whenever you trap him he doesn't have much of an escape. He also does not build much health or resistances at all so you'll be getting max damage off almost all game. His new rune set up is pretty cheesy but it shouldn't effect you too much.”
thedunkening111 says “You got too many stuns for this guy. Remember, he only gets to orange one of them. Let him push and find a good moment to all in. Don't let him poke you down too much.
Take Conqueror”

Tips Against Gangplank in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
PH45 says “Early game will probably be tricky since most Gangplanks run Grasp, which transitions to their Q poke hurting a lot more during early game. Main point in this matchup is to destroy his barrels early since they have such a long windup time. He is relatively easy to gank so ask your jungler to come if he is pushing. Later on you should be able to catch him relatively easily with your mobility, but at the same time be vary of his high damage output.”
Coldsong says “Gangplank is pretty squishy without items and his oranges are not that good against you. Just dodge his barrels and you will crush him. His Q also costs a lot of mana, so if he is constantly using it on you punish him when he is low on mana.”
PlayCabex says “Pretty easy match up , your poke is stronger than his , just trade your q's and you win trade , if you get 1st item you can easily kill him , also if you have poked him down then you can kill him also with flash combo”
eiensiei says “I'll start E and poke him with passive procs level 1, but I'll get W level 2 to be able to deny his Q harass when he tries to fight back. Early on I'll do my best to time my AA's and kill his barrels, but if I don't manage it, I'll just stay away from them, poking and farming with E from range. As the game progresses, unless I hit 2 Q's in the 20s cooldown of his W, it's unlikely I'll kill him, so I'll just keep my R to clear waves and have good back timings. He outscales Lux no matter what so there's no real point in my jungler coming mid, it's usually better if he focuses on other lanes.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Never done this matchup personally. Take fleet and 2nd wind and d shield so he cant poke you out too much. Early game will be rough but once you get beserkers and vamp you should be able to take over the lane fairly easily. Once you get shieldbow matchup swings in ur favor.”
Katawina52 says “His Q poke is the most annoying part of this matchup but you can counter this easly by going D shield and Second wind 2nd. However, I prefer to just go sword and domination 2nd cuz he is easly killable if you find optimal all ins (health adv and whatnot), but this is personal preference, I STILL GO DEFENSIVE RUNES VS THIS MATCHUP MOST OF TIMES CUZ ITS JUST TOO OBNOXIOUS. Also small tip on his barrels you can do is E'ing him or the barrel and then AAing the 1 hp barrel to remove it so you have a higher chance of winning.”
Dr Eggmund says “Gangplank may play very passive, If he thinks he's Tobias Fate and plays super aggressive punish him and poke him to death! His Oranges do not take off Vladimir's ult damage so all in him at 6 and destroy his vulnerable old man body.”
Sylvan Lore says “Orianna is overall good against Gangplank mid. He cannot handle the consistency of Orianna's damage. Gangplank excels at very short Q trades. Ensure that if you are trading with him that is is more than a simple burst. No Q from gangplank should be landed without a Q from you and a couple auto attacks in return. He scales quite well, but in most situations a team is in a very difficult situation if they are lacking the overall utility that is lost from having a Gangplank mid. You are very weak when he uses his ultimate on you since you have no mobility so don't underestimate his ability to catch you out with that. Overall, do not be afraid to push your advantage and go for trades in lane.”
Yasukeh says “Either make sure to dodge his barrels, or contest them if you can. Don't fight him early when he has his passive up at the start of the fight. If you aren't going on top of a barrel, once you get a slow you should have no problem running him down for a kill for to get him low. ”
Polarshift says “He can cleanse your root. His poke is way more scary than yours and he has a global ult to apply pressure on the map. Your waveclear is better than his and your teamfighting ability is close to equal so I'd call it an even matchup.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Try to not take too many free Q's to the face, try to build up your shield before his next Q is up, he can't spam too much without running oom. I like taking ignite in this matchup to reduce his healing when I go for an all in. Try to E to his barrels and quickly destroy them before he has a chance to blow them up on you. You can even windwall his Q shooting at a barrel. Lastly, his W can cleanse your ult so watch out for that.”
Eoba says “This matchup is fairly easy but becomes extreme if he's running grasp. Pay close attention if he eats oranges because he can come out on top in really close 1v1's.”
LunarVortex says “He outdamages you and can remove your Q/R with his W. He will simply run you down. Try to coordinate with your jungler and shut him down during his W cooldown.”
XayLies says “This champ right here have tons of damage and I don't recommending you to fight him from close range. try to dodge his Barrels by your E - Sweeping Blade on minions and block every Q to his barrels by your W - Wind Wall”
A55AILANT says “He can cleanse your root.
His poke is much better than yours.
Your waveclear is better, but your teamfighting skills are almost identical to gangplanks.
”
TheDuskWalker says “All summs work. Phase Rush.
Respect his early cheese potential especially if he has ignite. Farm up and pray that you have the better team comp since he outscales you in 1v1's but you outscale him in teamfights.”
Farg says “His Q poke and AoE barrels makes it very hard to outrade him. If you aren't denied cs/exp than you can look for an all in but save your W until after he detonates barrel to try and avoid his barrel damage. not really farg”
TheSecretsWithin says “One of the toughest lane-bullies in the game. The number one rule against Gangplank is DONT LET HIM GET LANE CONTROL. The second Gangplank gets control of the lane, he will be able to beat you senseless. Try to get rid of any barrels as possible, by aa w aa, the barrels at two hp points. And after a while, mix it up, so that GP cant detonate it the second he sees you walking towards his barrel. His level 13 power spike is one of the strongest, but he is still very squishy and doesn't have many forms of escape. Punish him for mispositioning or greeding, and remember NOT TO GIVE HIM LANE CONTROL. ”
angeLoon says “Conq Dshield. In Resolve Conditioning or Secondary Domination.
lots of poke,against GP
try to auto his barrels or dodge to have a good trade”
ahspaghetti says “go d shield and second wind to sustain from his q poke. a tip against his barrels is that you can e into his barrel, then aa to get rid of it.”
peytonqt says “[SKILL MATCHUP/EVEN] [PR/Conqueror] [D Blade/Long Sword/Corrupting/Tear] Gangplank is a really annoying matchup but not broken. Try to break his barrels when its safe but you can honestly just look to CS and stack tear on him. If he messes up like misplacing barrels or doesn't have his passive up you can fight him. REMEMBER: If he breaks a barrel it will give him his passive back. Don't get baited too hard. His passive does a good amount of damage and it is true damage so try not to get the auto range of his. You can also Hammer Form E him away if needed.”
mc_jojo3 says “He will poke you out of lane and CS with his q and E and heal your poke back up using his W so avoid this matchup if possible otherwise avoid as much poke as possible and all in him when he is low.”
Noodles912 says “He has extremely strong poke, and boosted oranges. If you leap onto him, he will AA you and use barrels. Avoid this matchup if you can. If you end up in it, then look for ganks, and try to break his barrels by timing it.”
Lot of Wind here says “A very situational matchup. You lose early game very hard, so don't try to play aggressive. When you scale, you can 1v1 him pretty easly.”
AkiraHopeXDDDD says “Top lane champ but has been played Mid often. Take corrupting against GankPlank because this guy can seriously poke you super hard. I do not suggest ever fighting GP as he can just out trade you cause of his W.”
Impossible2Gank says “This is a considerably hard matchup due to his kit where he can poke you down and eat an orange whenever you try to do anything. Try to stay back and wait for ganks or hope they're bad the champ.”
nZk01 says “(Top) GP can be quite hard especially if you let him setup his barrels, but you can shut him down early very easily and can kill/dive him quite easily, just care if he has ignite at lvl 6, would recommend Ignite/Barrier.”
Coldsong says “Gangplank likes to farm until late game, so he will most likely play passive. Try to poke him with autos and if he gets too close, pop him. His ult can be annoying though, especially in team fights.”
JEAFlashSword says “Really annoying to deal with him in lane i recommend doran shield against him windwall his Qs destroy his barrels if u can
you outscale him”
nZk01 says “(Top) GP can be quite hard especially if you let him setup his barrels, but you can shut him down early very easily and can kill/dive him quite easily, just care if he has ignite at lvl 6, would recommend Ignite/Barrier.”
Hiimkata says “His Q poke is the most annoying part of this matchup but you can counter this easly by going D shield and Second wind 2nd.

Also small tip on his barrels you can do is E'ing him or the barrel and then AAing the 1 hp barrel to remove it so you have a higher chance of winning.”
CaptianMike says “Ah, Gankplank. He is actually not easy to win against. He also has great teamfight, can cleanse your CC, and heal for % missing HP. His barrels deal a ton of damage and usually it's not worth it to try and destroy them with your auto attacks since the travel time on your auto attacks is quite slow. If he gets a couple kills.. it's going to be a difficult time. ”
UnoTrickCho says “Although I've never played the matchup, most GP mid players say it's easy. As for how to counter it, try to dodge all the barrels you can, and wait for him to passive auto a minion before you go in. Also try to wind wall his Q.”
Elite500 says “Trade point and click for days, careful if he has grasp and dshield, he outscales you in a 1v1 but you outscale him in teamfights, manipulate the wave at level 6 onwards so that you stack it and are able to dive him with ign”
wildersovereign says “Shoutouts to the 3 people who play Gangplank mid. If you end up winning the lottery of bad matchups and come across him, I would honestly recommend begging your top laner to swap lanes with you. Sure, fighting Darius isn't fun either, but it's better than this. His poke with Q and E is oppressive and can't be negated by your Black Shield since it all deals physical damage. His oranges destroy any attempts to all-in him. If that wasn't enough, his R can impact the map anywhere he wants, which means his "roams" will always be faster than yours, although they will be less effective. I recommend playing as safe as possible, conceding farm early to preserve your health, and looking to get help from your jungler to deal with him so you can finally leave this hellish lane. Buy an early Seeker's Armguard. While extremely uncommon, this is easily Morgana's worst matchup.”
rajsovsky says “Pretty hard matchup id say, cuz he has tons of damage in early/mid and late. He scales well and still has potential to kill you in lane. Don't disrespect him. Try to punish him when hes trying to farm with empowered Q and dodge his barrels/Q's with your pool. Ask for wraiths and some help. It's more skill-based matchup.”
invalidd says “Pretty complex since his orange counters your slow and stun, you can regen most of his poke but you win short trades. Complicated to gank.
”
Rauschel says “He is not very strong right now and he is easy to play against. Poke him with your Q, jump out of his ult with his E and all in him if he hasnt got his barrel. Its an really easy matchup if he isnt reeeally good.”
ezmod66 says “Haven't played vs many gp mids yet.
You can out trade him if you play around your q cd.
Option of going ignite and going for lvl 3 kill if you aa q and drag him down.
Time aa with barrel charges. if he takes ignite id play somewhat safer in lane.
He will try chunk you down with q spam and out sustain. bully with aa from out of his range.
You need to feel out your enemy and test him under pressure.
Matchup Difficulty: Skill dependent”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Gangplank mid is a very hard matchup
- Out sustain-damages you
- He outpokes you
- Try to push wave with your Q and passive, while taking as little harassment as possible
- His W, remove scurvy, counters yours and makes it hard to get pressure on him
- Beats you in sidelane”
Scyrine says “A good gangplank can change your positioning, heal before you get enough damage to finish him, and outplay you. Wait until you have R to do any risky plays and try to be aware of his bombs before engaging. ”
Chili Dog says “Trade point and click for days, careful if he has grasp and dshield, he outscales you in a 1v1 but you outscale him in teamfights, manipulate the wave at level 6 onwards so that you stack it and are able to dive him with ignite. Electrocute recommended. ”
WolfRider01 says “As long as you don't get hit by a barrel and can out sustain his poke, you can easily run him down. Take TP if not confident. He CAN W YOUR R (MEANING HE CAN GET OUT OF YOUR R)”
S4V4 says “You need to stay away from his Q range, so he doesn't poke you to your death. You will most likely want to stay in bushes and farm from there. If he wards those bushes, he is easily gankable by your jungler, and most likely, he is a free kill.”
Bobbab says “Skill matchup. The better player wins. His w can heal for more then expected and his barrels hurts. Try to not get poked for free by his q and e. He can follow roams with his ult but roaming is still good as he is slow at moving.”
sweodigaming says “Just keep harassing him, stay back when your Q and W is on cooldown, that way he won't get a free Q. Try to get in easy auto attacks on him since he is melee. AA his barrels of course.”
TheCatOfCheshire says “It's a melee so you got free poke, you have a better burst and you can escape from his ult. The problem is his cleanse, but it's a not big deal so enjoy the matchup.”
Frixen says “One of the most underrated bad matchups. He has incredible waveclear, which can leave you under turret if you're not waveclearing just as well yourself. He has the annoying orange that negates your gold card which leaves him kind of ungankable in TF lane, and he can slow down your split-push with his ultimate. You shouldn't die though if you play correctly, and you can still impact the map.”
BloooodTV says “D-Blade. Watch out for his poke and try to get an advantage by roaming, etc. If you can jump on him without flash just drop him. Outscales you. Take Conq.”
xRumk says “you destroy him in a melee 1v1 but this shitter will literally buy boots of swiftness and trinity force and just outrun you for the rest of the match while he afk farms. one of the matchups where righteous glory as 3th 4th item isnt that wrong”
Fadedreformed says “Quite annoying perma stacking grasp on you. First back take armguard or else you won't survive the lane. You win him after completing one item”
Yuki H. says “Very annoying Q poke from GP but it aggros minions so it isn't too bad. You will always have kill pressure on him as long as you have R.”
RikudouDovahkiin says “Gangplank has no worries about you, his W and a probably a mr item will stop your burst and kill potential, he can have easy gangs due to his bait power and can get assists because of his global presence through his R. When his mana is out be sure that jungler is not here, if so he is yours. Not even a threat without mana at 1v1 if played properly, and try to counter-build him because build is really important in this match-up, also remember his long range + barrel combo can destroy or probably leave semi-live you, beware of his damage while chasing him, because you are damaging yourself and his damage shouldn't be tanked even by tanks due to arm penet.”
Zoe Sparklepop says “Your autos aren't the fastest thing in the world so make sure to get used to them to time the barrel kills properly
Stay back when your Q and W are down so he doesn't get a free Parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrley since it IS a gun so it will hurt especially when he gets the blue glowy sword Sheen.
Save your E for if he gets a barrel off or ults you.”
The PaIe King says “Sustain Karth

BigFatCat909 says “Gangplank is an annoying matchup, but not very hard, you play differently depending on his runes and build. Whether you try to roam or be reckless.”
roskataka says “He beats you in both early and late game, your only opportunity is to outscale him and/or finish mid game. I suppose you should perma ban him.”
serruh says “there's a reason ryze was picked into gp almost every time at worlds. yes he can orange your root, but honestly you can just spam harass on him until he's dead or is forced to back, very easy lane to play. virtually no gank setup is also something worth to keep in mind, except when he gets his ult, which honestly shouldnt be a problem.”
i am a heron says “if gp wastes mana using his Q on you, you'll win lane early. if you're good at killing his barrels, you'll win lane early. If you manage to outplay gp early and shut him down, it's your game to win. if gp doesn't bother with any of that, farms up, waits for trinity force or crit items or whatever he's building and just walks at you, cleanses your Q, and fights you, he'll win. If he goes even, he will outscale you and you will never be able to fight him again. this is another lane that you dumpster early and lose late. wait for your ult if you want to take long trades against him.”
Cloud375 says “A skill matchup which depends on two things. Firstly, if this Gankplank is good, then this is going to be a really hard game. Otherwise, it is a skill matchup depending on who can kill the other player first. If this gangplank isn't good, then this will be easier, but still not easy. Make sure to remember how much damage he does so you don't accidentally make a mistake!”
Garybaldo says “If you've played Gangplank and are used to his barrel timings this lane gets much easier, he outscales so try and end the game quickly, you may run Grasp however Phase Rush is still good”
Sneaky boi says “Go doran shield. He will poke you with Q and try to Barrel you. If he wastes his Passive or fails a combo try and trade with him. IF you farm up to lvl 6 you should be able to kill him with jungler help . Buy tabis.”
Vispectra says “Another AD champ , another rough match up. This isn;t the worst because you can dodge his barrels pretty darn easily with your Rift-Walk , however his Q poke in lane can be quite the pain in the ass , also care for that passive , it does a lot.”
kilgta says “his oranges cancel your ult, pretty much you gotta get ganks to kill him or poke him to death. He is weak early so if he overextends just poke him. It really is a battle of who is gonna orange (him) or ultimate (you). The first one to do it, the other one wins. Start sapphire.”
maplecat21 says “You outrange him and can all in and kill him. Practice last hitting his barrels as soon as they get to 1 HP and he can't do anything.”
borsamalac says “At early he will spam Q(lv1-lv6) , try to trade back. Watch his kegs, get Stinger after Sheen so u can destroy his kegs. He has to farm as well, if u dodge his kegs u will win trades later in the lane phase(lv6+). Play with teleport he will do the same.”
BL00dY3nD says “You can dodge everything he got so do it. His poke is weaker than yours so poke him out and kill him. Care about his W heal cause he might survive if you let him run with your R on him.”
SmokeyEggs says “A good GP always spaces his attacks and knows when to use his Oranges, always fight when you know his E is on cooldown and Never let him q you since GP's normally go Grasp against a matchup with Ekko. You either don't fight at all and just Q to cs, or you all in him hard and get a good trade”
AzureArmatt says “Gankplank's weak early game is price he has to pay in order to reach his insane late game. he will poke you with his Q if he decide to not farm minions with it and zone you with barrels (destroy them as soon as you can, if you leave them it's a mistake). If you try to charm him he can cancel it with his W but he won't max this ability until late into the game so if he doesn't have it, next charm will be his death wish if he take it. After level 6 he will try to use his global ultimate to secure kills/assists on side lanes. So try to pull his attention to his lane by poking him, zoning him from farm and destroying his barrels. Watch out for ganks when you push your wave under his turret. Buy zhonya for armor, consider ninja tabi if he's really annoying and don't forget about morellonomicon to reduce his healing from W (his only way to counter your poke).”
thedonk says “He can use his W to get out of your chains, which is problematic. Try to use the Q+W or Q+R+W combo on him as it is the best way to kill him.”
Jazzmonkey says “Anyoing as fuck. Go Doran's Shield vs him. He will always poke you with his Q. Wait until he use his empowered Autoattack to minions and do a short trade with level 4. Wait for a mistake from him or wait for your jungler. You can kill him with level 6 just survive till then and farm up! ”
LuxIsMyCrush says “another more annoying than singead, his q and q barrel have a ridiculous masive damage, his ultimate have no range request so he can kill you anywhere you try to run. if you get everytime low hp buy zhonya, cause after 6 you will not escape again. Except this facts, you have all power.”
apsonalol says “Raramente vai aparecer algum mono GP no mid, mas quando aparecer tome cuidado, ele é bem perigoso, sona é muito papel, mesmo caindo no barril lvl 1 dele é o suficiente pra ele te solar, mantenha-se longe dele quando ele estiver com seu grasp ativado, use o Q para forçar ele usar a laranja , abuse com chamadas de gank, aliás um GP sem flash é um GP morto, sempre tente destruir seus barris também, isso anula grande parte do dano dele.”
moutenn says “Easy kill. Just poke him, until you can all in. He does not have burst, so just kill him before you take to much damage. I recommend Using R when he tries to hit a barrel on you. You will rarely be against him mid. ”
rimzaki says “If u know how to play with bloodlord we dont need talk about him Hes a little pirate he no match ur sustain too easy dodge hims E and R easy poke early game Im sure good luck ”
Death71 says “Gangplank is hard to deal with if it's a good player, you can't stun him, and without your stun you're nothing but a tiny fragile creature, he has a lot of movement speed and his kegs and ultimate will slow you to death”

Tips Against Gangplank in the Jungle Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
CatGopher98 says “Gank-plang can eat an orange to get out of your shadow realm. It's pretty annoying at first, but you really don't need your ult to beat him in a 1v1.”
Suseri says “You can win Level 1-2 but if he plays very safe he can trade with you without you being able to do alot. If that ever happens you can get another point in your W to sustain better in lane. You can try to avoid some of his poke with your Q but that will push the wave and might be worse if you fail your timing. Once you have Rageblade you can just run him down. Try to avoid his barrels with your Q or attack them to destroy them. Keep in mind that your doublestrike won't work on his barrels. ”
freddy66623 says “Gankplank is a problem. His Oranges will stop your Q snare or E slow ontop of that hes got allot of poke to catch up. Invade but be cautious”
Riyad101 says “Gangplank ain't gonna be too hard to deal with. Just aa the barrels and if he tries to 3 barrel combo you E out of the way. If he lands a barrel E away from him as he will try to follow up on that.”
azudox says “Not even talking about jungle. In any lane he is Renek's biggest counterpick. Barrels, poke, ult, everything awful. Try to camp his lane.”
ManiacChester says “Until level 6 he's easily going to handle you. His q and e will mess you up. Poke and just bomb you up. Only thing you can do is ask jungle for help and not feed. ”
LFS_aXent says “Gangplank will spank you with his barrels if you don't get rid of them. Stop him from ulting other lanes by giving consistent pressure. Snipe his barrels faster than he can Q them. He will W any stun you throw at him, so dont rely on that too much.”
today ill feed enemy team says “Gangplank is anoying to play against, he have movespeed and a mini-ignite on his passive, have ranged poke and have a free QSS/heal on his W, so it's very anoying to play against, but if he make some mistake, punish him, and you can make the same thing as when you play against fiora to bait his W.”
Optimal Pancake says “Easier match-up. Q out of his barrel range and take note of his W's cleanse however, as it will negate your slow and your knock up if you are in Darkin form.”
