Conversely, by grouping Elise and Gangplank together, you may not be giving your team enough support. We recommend you pick other champs on your team that neutralizes this relative disparity in this pairing's playstyle.

Regardless of your Gangplank ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and clearing objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
