Gangplank vs Viktor Matchup Summary

The Gangplank vs Viktor matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 11 recent matches analyzed, Gangplank wins with a 54.5% win rate compared to Viktor's 45.5%, giving Gangplank a 9.1 percentage point advantage. Gangplank dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights.
