While statistically Aatrox is slightly stronger than Gangplank in the top lane, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage in this matchup. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.
Except for rare builds, Aatrox deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Gangplank has mixed damage, be careful as it may be harder to defend if the opponent gets ahead or plays aggressively.
Consider the farming superiority demonstrated by Gangplank, ranking 7th (versus 42nd for Aatrox) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their higher KDA (2.1 versus 1.9) suggests they participate more effectively in team fights.
Despite the statistical advantage in the matchup, overconfidence can be the main mistake. It is important for the Aatrox player to maintain constant pressure on Gangplank, not allowing the opponent to safely scale up, and actively use the advantage gained to help their team.
