Playing as Gangplank

Tips to maximize your impact

  1. Chain your kegs

    Build a chain with Powder Keg (E): detonate the keg farthest from your opponent, and each keg whose area touches the previous one explodes too, all the way to them.

  2. Last-hit with Parrrley

    Last-hit minions and pop kegs with Parrrley (Q): a kill with the shot gives bonus gold, and so does a kill from a keg it sets off.

  3. Save your W for CC

    Save Remove Scurvy (W) for a key CC rather than for healing: it cleanses all CC on you, on a 22 to 14 second cooldown.

  4. Bombard other fights

    Cast Cannon Barrage (R) anywhere on the map to help a fight or cover an objective: each wave of cannonballs slows and damages in the area.

Playing against Jax

How to counter and exploit weaknesses

  1. Short trades

    Take a short trade, then back off: Relentless Assault (passive) increases his attack speed with each consecutive auto.

  2. Back off during Counter Strike

    During Counter Strike (E), back off instead of attacking: he dodges your autos, then stuns nearby enemies, dealing more damage per dodged auto.

  3. Trade after his E

    Trade right after Counter Strike (E): it's both his defense and his only stun, and it has a 17 to 9 second cooldown.

  4. Don't let him split push alone

    In the late game, don't leave his split push unanswered: send someone to hold his lane, or force an objective on the other side of the map.
