How to counter Gangplank

Gangplank is a carry who scales by juggling explosive barrels, heals and cleanses crowd control with his oranges, and pressures the map with his global ultimate. He's tricky in lane but depends on chaining barrels, so you stop him with champions that interrupt his combo, tank his poke, or out-scale him.

  • Kayle — From range she kites him and denies him space to place barrels, scaling past him late.
  • Cho'Gath — Tanky and with sustain, his silence and knock-up interrupt Gangplank's barrels, and he out-lasts him.
