Gangplank Build Guide
Few champions punish a passive top laner like Gangplank, and the ranked numbers back that up: 51.12% winrate and 5.73% pickrate on patch 16.13.1, all from top lane. His barrels and orange-fueled sustain make him a nightmare in extended trades once the item spikes hit.
Deathfire Touch is the keystone rune of choice, and the core build of Essence Reaver, The Collector, and Infinity Edge turns his auto-attacks and Q pokes into serious threats. Skill order goes Q, then E, then W. Check the full page below for the entire item path, rune setup, and toughest lane opponents.
