How to play it

✓ DO

Don't trade post-6

Avoid trading with him as much as you can after level 6 — his barrel damage ramps up hard.

Snowball an early kill

If he ints and you grab a single kill early, roll him for the rest of the game.

Starve his tempo

He needs huge tempo to stay relevant, so deny him farm and he falls off.

✕ DON'T

⛔

Never trade with Gangplank post-6 if you can avoid it.
