How to win lane as Gangplank against Teemo · 53.38% win rate over 1,079 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Teemo | His Blinding Dart (Q) makes your Parrrley and autos miss while your barrels sit on long cooldowns — you can only farm and soak poison here. |
| Level 2 | Teemo | He free-hits your low-HP kegs to deny them and chips you with Toxic Shot (E) poison before you have any answer — concede the trade. |
| Level 3 | Even / skill | You get a second E point but he can still blind your detonation auto and kite the barrel with passive move speed — roughly even now. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gangplank | A keg placed outside Q range and popped by Parrrley finally gives you poke his passive move speed can't kite — you take over. |
| Level 6 | Gangplank | Cannon Barrage (R) dropped on his retreat cuts off the kite — he has no dash to escape a keg chain into the bombardment. |
| First item | Gangplank | Sheen empowers your Parrrley so a keg-into-Q chain bursts him faster than his poison can out-trade. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | Chained keg explosions plus global Cannon Barrage own the duel and zone him off objectives — just clear his shrooms in brush first. |
Levels 1-3 are Teemo's. Blinding Dart (Q) makes your next Parrrley and autos miss, so he can free-hit your low-HP kegs to deny them and chip you with poison while your barrels sit on long cooldowns — you have no answer to his poke yet. Don't throw a Parrrley he can just blind, and don't place a keg he'll walk up and pop. Last-hit at max Parrrley range, eat a little poison, and cleanse the worst of it with Remove Scurvy (W) when your missing-HP heal is worth it. His chip can't kill through your W sustain — just deny him a snowball.
