Tips To Deal With Gangplank Counter 8.19

1) Gangplank’s abilities are pure physical damage so rushing armor against him and items like Ninja Tabis will help severely in the laning phase as it will reduce a ton of the damage from his Parrrley and Auto-Attacks.

2) Avoid using or stacking disables like stuns, snares, displacements, slows, knock-ups against him while his W/Remove Scurvy is up as it will cleanse any CC effects on him. Wait until it is in cooldown until you use CC on him so you can lock him down.

3) Starting with Doran’s Shield against Gangplank is an extremely good tactic as it reuces a lot of damage you face from him during harass. If he doesn’t stop harassing, then he will run out of mana eventually and quite quickly.

4) LOL Gangplank’s have to use their Q/ Parrrley to shoot their power kegs from a distance or auto attack it themselves. If they use their Q to harass you and still remain in a distance from the keg you can go to it and kill the keg yourself, similarly if both of you are aiming at the keg, since he is using his Q from a distance your melee auto will hit it first killing it if you time it perfectly.
