How to win lane as Gangplank against Quinn · 44.16% win rate (874 Emerald+ games, lolalytics, sampled July 2026) · Matchup data reviewed on patch 26.15
Her vault poke kites your barrels and denies your scaling. Farm under tower and look for jungler ganks.
Track: Quinn's E — Vault (12–8s cooldown). Her self-peel. All-in when it’s down.
Read from Gangplank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Quinn.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Quinn | Her Vault (E, 12s) dashes in, briefly interrupts you, then leaps her back out of reach — and you have no barrel poke yet. |
| Level 2 | Quinn | Harrier-marked empowered autos let her chunk you on every step-up while your Powder Keg cooldowns are long and your barrels easy to deny. |
| Level 3 | Quinn | She out-pokes you with Vault burst plus Heightened Senses kite before you have a second keg to chain-detonate from range. |
| Levels 4-5 | Even / skill | Your second E point lets you Parrrley-detonate two chained kegs from outside Vault range, pulling the poke war back to even. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Cannon Barrage adds zoning but she kites out of it with Heightened Senses, so level 6 is a wash rather than a power spike for you. |
| First item | Gangplank | Sheen into Trinity Force gives Parrrley an auto-attack reset so a chained keg detonation finally out-bursts her Harrier kite. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | A two-item chained barrel detonation one-shots her squishy frame and Cannon Barrage zones her off every objective globally. |
Levels 1-3 are hers and you have to accept it. Her Vault (E, 12s) dashes in, briefly interrupts whatever you are doing, then leaps her back out to attack range, and Harrier marks you for a bonus-damage auto she lands and walks away from. Blinding Assault (Q, 11s, 1025 range) is the blind — eat it and your autos miss, so never open a trade into it. Last-hit at max Parrrley range and hold Remove Scurvy (W) to cleanse the slow and heal the poke back.
