Yasuo vs Gangplank Matchup Summary

The Yasuo vs Gangplank matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 25 recent matches analyzed, Yasuo wins with a 64.0% win rate compared to Gangplank's 36.0%, giving Yasuo a 28.0 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Gangplank controls the early laning stage, but Yasuo outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Gangplank needs to press advantages before Yasuo reaches their power spikes, while Yasuo should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in sustain, where Yasuo leads by 506 HP/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Yasuo players can confidently pick into Gangplank and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Gangplank away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

Gangplank late game win rateGangplank25.0%

Gangplank dominates the early game (first 15 minutes) with a commanding 55.6% win rate — a 11.1 percentage point lead over Yasuo. This lopsided early game means Gangplank can dictate the pace of the lane from level 1, controlling trades, wave state, and river priority.

Yasuo is far superior in the late game (25+ minutes), boasting a 75.0% win rate — 50.0 points above Gangplank. Extended games heavily favor Yasuo, whose kit and scaling make them a dominant force in team fights and objective control.

This matchup features a dramatic power shift: Gangplank must aggressively press their early advantage and close out the game before Yasuo reaches their scaling breakpoints. If Yasuo survives the laning phase without falling too far behind, the matchup flips in their favor. Dragon and Rift Herald control are pivotal — the team that secures early objectives can snowball or buy time to scale.
