How to Play Gangplank in ARAM Mayhem

You play Gangplank from behind your frontline, chaining Powder Keg (E) explosions on enemies who group up. Place kegs so their blast zones overlap, then hit them with Parrrley (Q) or an attack to slow and damage everyone nearby. Save Remove Scurvy (W) to break crowd control. Infinity Edge and The Collector push you toward crit damage, so each keg you detonate hits harder.
