Tips Against Gangplank in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors

BigBallsLarry says “Not easy, but doable. Take dshield with second wind and try to survive lane, dont let him get free Q's off (play around your minions) but DONT trade back as he will barrel you and run away with 0 counterplay. You can run him down if he messes up or post ravenous with tabis. Parry his barrel or passive auto if possible. If you Q into him and destroy his barrel with AA cancel you can suprise him and instant all-in him. You can also play around bushes and your Q to deny him Q grasp procs and barrel hits. If he puts down a ward you can destroy it with aa>q>aa.”
parker3n9 says “This matchup is relatively easy in my opinion. While Gangplank does scale well into the late game, you have solid kill threat in the lane and should be able to beat him on barrels if you’re careful and proactive. Once you have Rylai’s Crystal Scepter, you can confidently all-in with your ultimate and come out on top in extended trades. Focus on consistent harassment to keep him pressured and deny his scaling as much as possible. Recommended Runes: Grasp of the Undying or Aery Summoner Spells: Flash and Teleport or Ghost and Teleport (choose based on the rest of the enemy team’s composition)”
Skaarlschloch says “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE4MbvKbixk Go FullAggro Setup with Ignite. Start E lv.1 if he places barrel on top of him you can bait that youll jump on him a couple times and then actually jump on him and instanly auto the barrel 90% of GPs wont react to it. Then you just beat him down. With ignite you can often kill him early somehow. Definitely a favoured matchup for you as long as you go full Aggro”

Lilac says “Gangplank, while being a melee champion, lanes like a ranged champion due to his strong poke and ability to use Grasp of the Undying without incurring the ranged champion penalty. Late-game, his damage scales well and his burst tools don't have particularly long cooldowns. Getting a lead against Gangplank will often lead to a massive snowball, but getting there without handing the lead to him is very difficult. You can Q through his barrels to bait him into shooting them so you can engage, and parry his passive autos to negate the worst of the damage. You can also win the "Barrel Minigame" by using the bonus AS from your E to break them quicker and get an easy trade. Recommended: Fleet Footwork for better sticking power late-game and safer laning, plus the standard Ravenous + Eclipse core.”
Coke Rat says “Ambessa can't really avoid the barrels. GP can cleanse your ultimate and will outscale your pretty hard.”

maiathemagical says “The GP/Aurora matchup is really rough since he can push you out of auto range quite well if he's good, and bullies you out of CS fairly effectively to boot. You need to play the mental game and bait him into wasting his barrels, but it's tough vs a decent player. He's not really played enough currently to justify banning IMO, but it's not a fun time.”

Raideru says “In this matchup, look to CS mostly with your W since his poke is really strong and his passive dmg goes through your shield since it's true damage so the only way to trade with him is waiting out for him to use his passive and then jumping on him to proc the shield before he blows up his barrels since he always sits on top of it, also use the fact u have an extra auto to instantly take his barrel infront of him when he places it and use your q2 on him. Matchup is hard before first item but afterwards it's playable but remember the key to beating him consistently in 1v1 is how well u last hit his barrels. I advise PTA in this matchup with Sheen rush.”

Basilli says “GRASP RUNES "Look for Q>W's in lane if his passive is down and you can take heavy trades which he hates, just be careful to not get poked down level 1 before you have E with his Passive/Q. He can orange out of your ult so try and make him waste it on your stun first. If he doesn't then just use your ult as a repositioning tool. Ignite makes this matchup much easier if you're struggling. " ”

Spartaniko says “Q poke him to death, even if he can get out of your stun with his W you still outtrade him due to being able of avoiding his barrels damage with your E, which often avoids his passive damage if you time it well. Go PTA and even ignite if you want to just bully him in lane. Even if the barrel is behind you, E in Gangplank's direction to avoid the damage.”
