Gangplank Build Guide (Top)
Gangplank plays a farming lane better than almost anyone: Parrrley crits for gold and damage, Remove Scurvy eats the crowd control that would punish it, and Cannon Barrage flips fights across the whole map.
Summoner Spells


Runes
9x Mark of Attack Damage (+1 Attack Damage)
9x Seal of Armor (+1 Armor)
9x Glyph of Scaling Magic Resist (+0.2 Magic Resist per level (+3.6 at champion level 18))
3x Quintessence of Attack Damage (+2.25 Attack Damage)
Attack damage marks and quints power Parrrley from level one; armor and scaling magic resist keep the trades and the mid game honest.

Max Parrrley - it is the lane. Remove Scurvy second so their engage tools stop working; Raise Morale last, it is a stat aura your team enjoys either way.
Item Build
Early goals
Avarice Blade pays for itself with Parrrley gold; Phage adds the health and slow he lacks.
Core build
Trinity Force procs on every Parrrley; Infinity Edge makes the crits absurd.
Situational
Warmog's plus Atma's is the classic pirate combo; Last Whisper against armor, Guardian Angel to keep carrying.
Example final build
The classic crit-bruiser build.
