Who this champion beats in lane, and who beats it.Who counters Gangplank and who Gangplank beats
Gangplank pays for his huge late game with one of the roughest early games in the lane. He is weak and mana hungry before his items arrive, his barrels take real setup time and can be destroyed by a single auto before they pop, and he has no dash or escape beyond cleansing slows and roots off himself with Remove Scurvy. That means the way to beat him is to get on top of him early and force a fight before he can chain a barrel combo, and to never let his weak laning phase turn into a scaled monster. Aggressive melee bruisers who can all in him, out sustain him, and punish his clunky setup give him fits. When you pick Gangplank, you are betting you survive a miserable early game to reach a game winning late one, so respect anyone who can simply run you down before your barrels matter.
