Gangplank vs Singed

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Control the lane with (Q) poke and barrel zoning to deny Singed safe proxy or wave disruption.
Prioritize scaling by maintaining medium lane pressure and avoiding giving Singed passive farm or easy chases.
This is a control vs teamfight matchup where Gangplank must leverage barrel chains and global pressure to outscale Singed.

Trading pattern

Trade short with (Q) and passive resets when barrels are primed and (W) is available to cleanse crowd control.
Avoid fighting Singed without barrel chains or (W) ready, as he punishes melee all-ins and chase attempts.
Punish Singed's movement through barrels and after he uses (E) or (W) by stepping forward for quick trades.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is down, as (E) displacement and (W) slow can lock you into lethal all-ins.
Avoid extended melee range fights when barrels are not set, as Singed can force trades that bypass your zone control.
Track (R) uptime; his speed and durability boost make him more dangerous in all-ins and chase scenarios.

Early game

Use (Q) to farm safely and chip Singed when he tries to approach, avoiding extended melee trades without barrel setup.
Protect barrel zones to punish Singed's attempts to walk through poison or force chases.
Save (W) to cleanse (E) displacement and (W) slow for critical all-in windows before level 6.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to influence fights globally, protect dives, or slow Singed to set up barrel zones.
Critical item barrel scaling greatly increases (E) damage; set barrels before fights to control space and punish Singed's approach.
Respect Singed's level 6 (R) speed and durability spike by avoiding extended melee trades without barrel or (W) advantage.

Win conditions

Control the lane with (Q) poke and barrel threat to deny Singed safe wave disruption or proxy paths.
Scale into critical barrel damage and use (R) to impact side-lane fights and teamfights globally.
Use (W) cleanse and barrel zoning to prevent Singed's crowd control from enabling his all-ins and chase pressure.
