Gangplank vs Teemo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Focus on controlling the lane with (Q) poke and barrel zoning to prevent Teemo from freely harassing.
Manage wave to avoid giving Teemo safe trap setups and maintain medium lane pressure for scaling.
Prioritize scaling through farming and barrel chains to leverage Gangplank's late-game carry potential.

Trading pattern

Trade short bursts using (Q) and passive resets when barrels are primed and (W) is available.
Punish Teemo when his (Q) blind is down by extending trades with barrel chains.
Avoid trading without barrel setup or when (W) is on cooldown to prevent being punished by Teemo's poke.

Danger windows

Be cautious when (W) is down, as (Q) blind can lock down trades and punish Gangplank.
Avoid engaging near Teemo's trap placements, especially after level 6 when they control side lanes.
Watch for all-in attempts when barrels are not set up or can be cleared easily by Teemo.

Early game

Use (Q) to farm safely and poke Teemo, avoiding extended trades before barrel setup.
Protect barrel zones to deter Teemo from engaging or clearing barrels without risk.
Save (W) to cleanse (Q) blind and sustain through poke rather than for minor damage.

Power spikes

At level 6, use (R) to influence fights globally and slow Teemo, enabling safer barrel zones.
Scale into critical item thresholds where barrel chains become lethal and zone control is maximized.
Respect Teemo's level 6 trap control and avoid walking into trap-covered paths without vision or sweepers.

Win conditions

Control the lane with (Q) poke and barrel zoning to deny Teemo safe poke and trap setups.
Scale safely by farming and hitting item spikes to turn barrel chains into kill threats.
Use (R) to pressure side lanes and teamfights globally, forcing Teemo to respect Gangplank's presence without leaving lane.
