Based on 5 recent matches analyzed, Gangplank wins with a 60.0% win rate compared to Neeko's 40.0%, giving Gangplank a 20.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Gangplank controls the early laning stage, but Neeko outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Gangplank needs to press advantages before Neeko reaches their power spikes, while Neeko should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints.
