How to Play This Matchup
Survive to Scale
Jayce will try to bully you early. Give up CS if needed  your job is to not die. Gangplank outscales hard after 2 items. Play for farm, not fights.
Armor Rush
Both champions deal physical damage. Whoever builds armor first (Plated Steelcaps, Bramble Vest) gets a huge advantage in trades.
Mirror Playstyle
Both champions play a poke style. The one with better execution and itemization wins. Focus on spacing and cooldown tracking.
Range Advantage
Jayce has range advantage. Gangplank should look for short trades when Jayce uses abilities on the wave. Freeze near your tower and wait for jungle help or an all-in window.
Exploit Jayce's Weakness
Jayce's main weakness: Falls off late, mana hungry, no ult. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Gangplank Win Condition
Scale with barrels, global R, crit barrel one-shots
Jayce Win Condition
Poke in ranged, all-in in melee, bully lane
