How to win lane as Singed against Gangplank · 47.18% win rate over 1,772 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Even / skill | Neither champion can confirm a kill at level 1 — Gangplank's Parrrley pokes but Singed hasn't committed to running at him yet; pop barrels by walking onto them to deny barrel-chain gold. |
| Level 2 | Singed | Fling is online before Gangplank has Sheen, so you can close the gap and force him to burn Remove Scurvy to cleanse your slow — the one window you physically threaten him. |
| Level 3 | Gangplank | Barrel chains crit and barrel-chain gold compounds fast; Gangplank's ranged Q poke is now spammable and Remove Scurvy trivially cleanses Mega Adhesive, making your goo combo nearly useless. |
| Levels 4-5 | Gangplank | Proxy the wave under his tower — he can't walk into Poison Trail to clear it cleanly, so you drain his CS while he decides between freezing and chasing. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Insanity Potion's stat dump means a barrel chain no longer kills you outright, so you can force aggressive proxy cycles; but his R ships gold globally every time it's off cooldown — track it. |
| First item | Gangplank | Sheen or Trinity Force transforms every Parrrley into a burst that outpaces your regen; he can now punish your run-at-me approach from range and win the straight 1v1. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | Full crit scaling and global R mean Gangplank dictates the side lane — he clears your proxy wave for free and 1v1s you cleanly; shift to teamfight disruption and split-pressure rather than dueling him. |
Level 1 is a coin flip of poke vs approach — Gangplank's Parrrley (Q) is a slow-moving skillshot but it crits through minions and he can start placing barrels before you get near him. Don't run straight at a lit barrel; walk onto it yourself to detonate it harmlessly and deny him the gold and the chain. Level 2 is your one genuine threat window: Fling comes online before he hits Sheen, so you can actually close the gap and force him to waste his first Remove Scurvy (W) to cleanse your Fling slow rather than saving it for a real all-in. By level 3 Mega Adhesive roots on exit, which sounds powerful — but he W-cleanses it instantly on zero counterplay, so your goo is wasted unless his W is already down from earlier.
