Damage doesn't equal wins: Gangplank outputs more damage (965 vs 797/min, 2nd place) but still loses the matchup. The issue likely lies in survivability, mobility, or damage timing rather than raw output.

Difficult matchup requiring deep understanding of game mechanics and flawless execution. Patience and proper macro play are the keys to victory in this confrontation.
Except for rare builds, Gangplank deals physical damage. Focus on eliminating enemy carries. Yorick 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 Yorick, ranking 2nd (versus 18th for Gangplank) in farming efficiency among champions in this role. This means the opponent can build gold advantages more quickly. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (1.7 versus 2.1) suggests they are less effective in team fights.
In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Gangplank player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Yorick player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.
