How to win lane as Warwick against Gangplank · 50.48% win rate over 830 Emerald+ games · Updated 2026-07-27
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Warwick | Level 1 is yours — GP's poke kit can't stop your Blood Hunt dive and Q shove. |
| Level 2 | Even / skill | Level 2 is skill, decided by whether you close range or eat Parrrley poke. |
| Level 3 | Warwick | Level 3 favours you as you dash into melee and out-sustain his chip. |
| Levels 4-5 | Warwick | Levels 4-5 stay yours — he can't zone you with Kegs once you're on top of him. |
| Level 6 | Warwick | Level 6 is yours: Duress locks him before he can detonate a barrel chain. |
| First item | Gangplank | At first item GP flips it — empowered Q crits and barrel burst out-trade your dive. |
| Two+ items | Gangplank | With 2+ items Gangplank wins — Keg chains, crits, and Scurvy cleanse kite you out. |
Level 1-2 you win — Gangplank pokes with Parrrley (Q) but has no melee answer, so Blood Hunt in and Q-heal to shove him off CS. Deny his barrel setups by staying on top of him.
