Is Jayce better when played alongside Gangplank?

There is no one best companion for Jayce that will no matter what be his top ally. Yet, Gangplank is a terrible teammate for Jayce. By locking into the same side as Jayce, he lowers their win rate by -4.0% to 43.8%. This shows that there is a very bad bond between Jayce and Gangplank that results in them performing not as well together than without each other.

Gangplank has a greater difficulty than Jayce. That means you must be very careful when enlisting Gangplank comrades to fight alongside, as they will require a greater level of skill to play well with you.

Fighting cooperatively, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these two can provide a great amount of sustained physical damage.

Although, by grouping Jayce and Gangplank together, you probably will not be providing your other teammates a lot of utility. We recommend you bring other champions on your team that helps cover this relative disparity in their abilities.

Regardless of the skill of your Gangplank ally, you should focus on increasing your gold income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
