Top-4 rate of boards where Gangplank held exactly these three items. Thief's Gloves builds equip random items, so they count as one build.

53% of full Gangplank builds are defensive items — players use Gangplank as a frontline that soaks damage while the carry deals it. That differs from Gangplank's listed role in the game files — ranked players use it differently.
