Hello, my name is Dorom I have been playing League of Legends for over a year now and this is my first ever guide, I am currently gold 4, I also main Sion and Jhin, I have been gold 2 a few times and last season I was silver. Now you may be thinking: "Am I really going to listen to a gold 4 Gangplank player?" and I don't blame you honestly. I have much to learn but I still think you should hear my tips out and maybe you'll learn something here! :)

Gangplank is a very underappreciated champion in my opinion, his teamfighting potential and dueling on the lane is insane if played correctly and I highly recommend trying to pick him up since he is very fun, and he is still fairly in the meta. There is definetly stronger picks, but Gangplank is worth playing. He offers a lot of utility because of his ult, has insane damage and even 1v2 potential if you can play it right. Gangplank has a lot of potential for learning and this guide should help you with the pretty much basics.

Pros:
- Strong passive
- High damage output
- Amazing teamfights
- Amazing splitpusher
- Free cleanse
- Strong late game
- Amazing teamfights

Cons:
- Almost no mobility
- High skill ceiling
- Squishy early game
- Mana problems
- Expensive core items

Now is Gangplank REALLY worth it? The answer is... yes, yes he is. Due to the utility and damage he can cause if played correctly is insane, yet he takes months and months to practice. Gangplank is something like that one champion that is still gripped on to the back of the meta, and always will be there or better. Gangplank is and will forever be good. You cannot change that, unless they'd rework him but what is the point in that? The reason I picked Gangplank is because he is just so ******* fun and it feels so good to pull him off, the combos, the possibilites with the champion are basically almost endless. Gangplank has never felt like a boring champion to me, and this is exactly the reason why, because every one-part I hit, every kill I steal with ult and get pinged to infinity, feels like an improvement, and that is the pure embodiment of fun. Learning a new and interesting champion. So yes, Gangplank is very worth it, and I hope you will be as determined as me with improving and playing this champion.
