Who Wins
- You lose early 1v1s due to Gangplank's Q poke and barrel zoning keeping you at range.
- At level 6, you gain kill pressure if you can land W pull into full combo, but his R global presence and orange cleanse make him slippery.
How to Trade
- Your best trades involve landing W pull to guarantee E dash connection, then Q auto-reset for maximum Determination stacks.
- Avoid extended chases since his barrels and movement speed make him hard to stick to without your combo.
Wave Control
- Push waves aggressively early to deny his barrel setups and force him to last-hit under tower.
- Once you have items, look for slow pushes into dives since your R and passive revive give you strong tower-diving potential.
Mistakes to Avoid
- Don't chase him through his barrel chains or fight in minion waves where he can chain explosive damage.
- Avoid trading when you have low Determination stacks since your damage and sustain are significantly reduced.
