Regardless of if you go the main build, or critplank, start with
Brawler's Gloves first. Build it into a quick
Avarice Blade for more crit and gp10. Then get
Crystalline Flask for sustain and mana. After that get
Ninja Tabi. Durring this time Sight Wards should be purchased.
Trinity Force is up next starting with
Sheen because it gives enough dmg and good survivability.
Warmog's Armor is up next for overall tankyness. After that get an
Atma's Impaler for crit, armor and damage. Get an
Infinity Edge for late game crit and dmg. Finish the build off with a
Spirit Visage. After your build is finished get
Enchantment: Alacrity.
This item setup provides decent early game tankyness and still gives you damage throughout the game. Triforce comes first because you need hp and alot of dmg. You go Atmogs because it gives defence and crit. The IE comes later for late game crit dmg. The
Spirit Visage gives the most mr in the game and it gives a bonus to your heal. I depend on my heal a bit more than i should because i prefer to get defence over lifestea. If you disagree, replace
Atma's Impaler with a
Guardian Angel and
Spirit Visage with a
Bloodthirster.

One mistake I often see Gangplanks make, is last hitting with your

It's still the same as early game, except you should roam once you destroy the enemy's turret. Understand that you must always make sure your lane isn't too pushed. Also DO NOT FALL BEHIND ON FARM. This is very important you need money for those expensive items.
Infinity Edge and
Trinity Force together cost 8k. Farm is very important but try to gank mid, or steal the enemy team's wraiths. Also have map awareness. If the jungler is ganking bot, then use your ult to get an assist and secure a kill on the enemy ad carry or support. Also if there are team fights try to be at them, but if you are pushing a lane and getting a turret instead of helping, just use your
Cannon Barrage to get assists and make your map presence known.

Run around shooting people critting for 1k dmg and not caring about cc because you got oranges. In my build I rely slightly more on my oranges and the
Warmog's Armor passive for sustain over life steal. This is how i play, if you believe this is a bad idea, state it in the comments.

In this long section i will talk about lane matchups and i will rate them 1-10. 1-4 means easy, 5-7 means medium, 8-10 means hard.
Pantheon(aka Mantheon)- 9 This lane is a pain to deal with because his passive blocks your q harras. Just last hit with
Parrrley and try to not take too much harras. Get your
Ninja Tabi asap. Max oranges second
Olaf-10 You will inevitably lose this lane. His
Reckless Swing will wreck you, and he will chase you with his
Undertow. This lane will be hard. Max oranges second and get a second point at either 5 or 7 for better sustain. Ask for jungle ganks pre 6 so that he wont just pop his
Ragnarok
Jax-10 farn with
Parrrley and run away when he jumps you with his
Counter Strike
Leap Strike combo. Don't 1v1 ever unless he has 1/10 of your hp. Dont bother to harras because this is the hardest lane to play as when you are gp. He will become veeeerrrry strong at lvl 6 so dont get into sticky situations and have map awareness. Farm with
Parrrley and use
Remove Scurvy when he stuns you.
Darius-7 This guy is a pain to deal with his
Apprehend's range is only slightly shorter than your
Parrrley range. Keep your distance and last hit with
Parrrley.
Nasus-2 No problems in this lane at all. He just wants to afk farm. Harras with
Parrrley untill you run out of mana. Don't let him farm, but keep up with your farm.
Garen-8 similarily to
Darius, he is a pain to deal with, just dont get caught in his
Judgment and dont stick around at low hp because he will use
Demacian Justice. Last hit with
Parrrley and play passively. Get
Ninja Tabi early. Start
Cloth Armor and pots.
Cho'Gath-5 He out sustains you because of his passive,
Carnivore. Dodge his
Rupture and you should be fine. Due to his sustain, just out farm him using
Parrrley. Doing this will get you more gold than him and you will win your lane money-wise. Be wary of jungle ganks because cho has very good cc and his slow is extremely strong if it lands. Eat oranges at the right moment.

I have added this section because someone in the comments requested it. Critplank is a build on Gp where you get 100% or almost 100% crit. This makes you crit basically every attack. In this build, you do a TON more dmg than the main one because you have double the crit chance. I find this build lacks survivability in the form of health and resistances. With Crit plank your survivability is decreased, but your early game harras is extremely strong. This is more of a melee carry build, than a bruiser build, so treat him like that. Critplank relies on positioning, but he should still focus their carry if possible. Why go critplank? Just watch the video.critplank op
