Gangplank Build Guide
Gangplank is one of the hardest champions to pressure when a top laner plays it safe. Ranked data on patch 16.13.1 shows a 51.12% winrate and a 5.73% pickrate, all in the top lane. His barrels and orange-powered sustain keep him dangerous in long fights once his items come online.
Deathfire Touch is the preferred keystone, and a core of Essence Reaver, The Collector, and Infinity Edge makes his auto-attacks and Q harassment hit hard. Level Q first, followed by E, then W. The full page below covers the complete item path, rune setup, and the lane matchups that give him the most trouble.
