How to Play This Matchup
Survive to Scale
Pantheon 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.
Exploit Pantheon's Weakness
Pantheon's main weakness: Falls off hard late, short range, outscaled. Play around this to maximize your advantage.
Gangplank Win Condition
Scale with barrels, global R, crit barrel one-shots
Pantheon Win Condition
W point-click stun, empowered Q poke, R global roam
