The Vladimir versus Gangplank matchup in the top lane is favorable with proper positioning. Use your statistical advantage and prevent the opponent from realizing their potential.
The magic damage that Vladimir deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. 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 4th (versus 8th for Vladimir) 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 2.0) 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 Vladimir 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.
