Fighting together, you should expect to observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs should be able to take down targets with auto-attacks and other AD damage abilities.

Regardless of your Gangplank ally's ability, you should focus on increasing your gold income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you will do well, regardless.
