Champion short description:

As a feared pirate captain, Gangplank combines the elements of a ranged fighter and a bruiser, which gives him a versatile role, especially later in the game.

His “Parrley” ability allows him to attack his enemies from afar with his cannon and capture gold. The “Powder Kegs” allow him to place explosive barrels that he can detonate to cause devastating area damage. His “Remove Scurvy” gives him self-healing and makes him more resistant to control effects. His ultimate ability, Cannon Barrage, allows him to attack enemies across the map with cannon fire and thus influence the game.

Gangplank is known for his high damage potential and his ability to control certain areas with the help of his barrels. His play style therefore requires precise placement of these barrels and skillful positioning, especially later in the game. Mastering Gangplank will take several dozen games, as he is both very vulnerable and a melee squishy.

Description Skill Order:

The skill order is always identical. You always maximize the Q first, then the E and finally the W. However, it is very interesting how you should skill Gangplank at early levels. This is because most gangplank mains start with the E. The Q was heavily generated in the early levels, which is why most people have decided to start with the E now. This gives significantly more lane presence on the first levels and is also simply stronger. After that, you go for the Q on level 2 as usual. On level 3, however, you usually put another point into the Q so that you get better poke quickly. However, if you are already a bit low-dropped at level 2/3, you should rather skill the W to be a bit safer.

Items you can put on Gangplank buy

Description of the build path:

There are two requirements for the item build. Each item must contain both AD and Crit, which are the two stats with which Gangplank scales best. However, Gangplank also needs a Sheen item because it synergizes wonderfully with his Q and E. However, many crit items also have a lot of attack speed, which we actually want to avoid. So opt for items that have crit but no attack speed.
