Gangplank the Saltwater Scourge
As unpredictable as he is brutal, the dethroned reaver king Gangplank is feared far and wide. Once, he ruled the port city of Bilgewater, and while his reign is over, there are those who believe this has only made him more dangerous. Gangplank would see Bilgewater bathed in blood once more before letting someone else take it—and now with pistol, cutlass, and barrels of gunpowder, he is determined to reclaim what he has lost.

MetaBot Tips

- Gangplank has less crowd control than most champions. This can make locking down kills or ganking for other players more difficult.
- Gangplank tends to have a lower vision score than other champions. Make sure you are working to place wards and clear enemy wards.
- Gangplank has a low base movespeed compared to many other champions. Play back towards your tower in lane, and consider early game boots when fighting skillshot-based laners.
