His Story
The continent of Valoran, however, is a dangerous place for pirates; Gangplank could read the writing on the wall. The den of pirates known as Bilgewater would soon be pulled down by the undertow of Valoranian politics and the Institute of War. It was time for Bilgewater to have their own champion to represent them in the League of Legends, and who better than the fiercest pirate of them all? It is said that Gangplank has enough power and favor to claim the title of the Pirate King back home, but that he is simply biding his time and building his reputation as a champion before he returns to a life of piracy.

Change Log
21-01-12: Will add videos of gameplay style
22-01-12: Adding scores of some good Gangplank games
Will insert Trinity Force, tank, jungle and dominion build as soon as possible
- Good at farming with Parrrley
- Free Red buff AND Quicksilver Sash
- Able to help the team anywhere with Cannon Barrage
- Tanky build with Atmog's
- Able to survive most ganks Remove Scurvy
- He eats oranges <3
- Squishy early game
- Melee
- Pretty much no escape mechanism
- He's affected by scurvy
- Everyone wants dem oranges
greater mark of desolation Obvious choice for an AD damage dealer.
Greater Seal of Armor I get 6 of these to counter Gangplank's squishiness . I find that 6 runes are enough.
Greater Seal of Scaling Mana Regeneration I get 3 of these for more Parrrley spamming which equals more gold which means more items. Who doesn’t want that ?
Greater Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist I don't take flat magic resist because usually no one with strong enough magic damage will lane top. Mainly late game runes.
greater quintessence of desolation Obvious choice again. Less armour for them equals more damage for you (:
Parrrley is our main harrass + farm skill. Applies on-hit effects, like Frozen Mallet, Grog Soaked Blade, Sheen etc. Also Parrley is able to crit and give extra gold bonus when it is the killing blow. This makes it a GREAT farming skill. Try not to spam it too much as you need mana, to eat some oranges and get out of trouble.
Remove Scurvy is a free quicksilver sash *calling all asians*. Removes ALL crowd control effects and gives a bonus heal. This skill is a lifesaver. I can't remember all the times i saved myself when some Warwick, Malzahar or Skarner surpressed me. Dem Rammus taunts too. Try not to spam this skill too much as the cooldown is quite lengthy. If the enemy team is chasing you, remember to Remove Scurvy then Flash as this will mean you are left with no crowd control after flashing.
Raise Morale these babies are like free steroids. I max this first as I find that I push towers , ALOT and this really helps out the team with the attack damage buff. It has a range of about Ace in the Hole I also use this when our jungler is ganking my victim for the movement speed buff.
Cannon Barrage is a global ultimate. That slows everyone inside by 25% and lasts for 1.5 seconds, duration is refreshed if one stays in the area. If you had Rylai's Crystal Scepter for some reason each cannonball would apply a 15% slow. I use this when an enemy champion is pushing my tower. Usually the ult should kill all the creeps which leaves the turret attacking the enemy champ. This tactic is great early game and I should have a vid about that tactic up soon. Also use this if a team fight has started without you, as it is great help for the team.
At lvl 1, I take a point in Parrley for farming. I tend to use it on creeps that are too far for me to last hit, usually caster minions. At lvl 2 I take a point in Remove Scurvy. This allows me to take a bit more damage and not worry about ganks. At lvl 3 I either take Raise Morale or Remove Scurvy. This all depends on how much the enemy is harrassing me. Put a point into Cannon Barrage whenever possible.
Exhaust is a good spell to use when trying to out dps another character or shutting someone down for those crucial 2.5 seconds. With Summoner's Wrath they have reduced to Armor and Magic Resist as well
Flash. I use this spell to get out of sticky situations. I use this to flash over walls, I KNOW, will save me unless they flash as well. removing scurvy will assure you have about no crowd control on you when you flash.
Ghost, I dont prefer using ghost as I think flash will be able to save you more. Activating Raise morale is about 2/3 of ghost plus it's an added bonus to running teammates too. Take this if you like/prefer it more then Flash
Viable
Clarity Viable, but I dont have mana issues. Lackluster late game
Heal Sorta already got one, but trust me. Double heal OHPEE
Smite Great for jungling, but I don't like jungle
Please No.. Just No ..
Cleanse You've got one already, why need another ?
Promote Just dont think you need it in Summoner's Rift
Revive You won't be dying much with this build. Trust me (;
Wriggle's Lantern gives you heaps of lane sustain. Like heaps. Added with Warmog's Armor you will lane four HOURS if you could, but we all know thats impossible right ? Atma's Impaler is my first damage item. Added with a maxed out Warmog's Armor that would be 64.46 attack damage
Ionian Boots of Lucidity these boots are my preferred choice as the cooldown reduction greatly reduce Cannon Barrage's cooldown. You may get Mercury's Treads or Ninja Tabi depending on their primary attribute, or if they have HEAAPS of crowd control.
I usually dont build a Force of Nature but if you really want to tank, go for it. The health regen synergises well with our Warmog's Armor and gives us some nice magic resist which Gangplank lacks late game. Thornmail can be bought if they've got someone like Caitlyn or Miss Fortune who are fed beyond belief.
