The team meltdown that lasted all game was hilarious. I'd rather be on the Alistar's team than either of those two. Actually... he kinda carried the game later by getting caught out over and over and lining them up for you to slaughter. lol
Later fights I thought he was doing great. Like *someone* has to facecheck the bush and its usually a beefy top laner who can do that but in this case they've got GP so its gotta be the Ali.
Did Pekin get First Blood? Nope In a surprising turn of events, First Blood happened around the 0:00 mark, almost outside of camera. It was by enemy Zoe. Win Streak lost! Last streak was of 2, and it was a new record! Pekin's First Bloods: 3 Allies' First Bloods: 1 Enemies' First Bloods: 4 Win streak: 0 Lose streak: 1 Highest win streak: 2 Highest lose streak: 4 Total games registered: 8
This isn't comprehensive but here's a few good First Strike moments from the game. Gwen R''s in a team fight with firstike Night Harvester procs is so satisfying. One with 300+ gold gen is would be fun. 21:13 127g What I was waiting for, gold gen from ult + NH procs in a team fight or full stack Q 23:10 148g Another team fight 24:34 244g First big one 26:19 78g Team fight. That was a let down :P 27:45 251g Team fight. 29:01 256g From Cho and Sylas. Didn' t kill them but First Strike basically makes up for it 30:13 103g Just from last ult charge onto Sivir
I have been sick and in the hospital and out of work the last couple weeks. Watching a Pekin video and having my morning coffee is the highlight of my day, and the last few have even been some of my fav champs. I appreciate all the work you put into these and hope you keep it up!
Not only do your videos help me learn how to better play the champs in my champ pool, but they help me learn how to counter and outplay champs I play against. Keep it up Pekin!
This is a good video to show how turning the sides work. You're team was obviously down but Pekin kept them in the game with his decisions. Amazing to watch.
super glad a gwen video finally happened!! been asking for this since day one of off-meta climb. glad you made it work, makes me want to try night harvester because riftmaker never really feels that good to me
I am probably the worst player in all of LoL and my MMR should reflect that. But man its kinda relieving for me to see that the attitude in Diamond I is exactly the same as it is in my MMR range. People lose their sh*t at around 15 minutes and go /ff every 10 seconds and dont even try to come back which is obviously possible. Also I want to learn Gwen now (and suck at playing her like I do with all the other characters). Anyway, thx for the video and your content man. I learn a lot.
As always, loving the series! I don’t really play anymore, but watching over the past year or so has been the most fun I’ve had interacting with League. Also thoughts on full health vlad? I know his passive isn’t the most efficient going health-to-ap, but it could be interesting.
I played this build yesterday, i got 7k gold just from first strike. This might be worse than normal gwen build but it’s so much fun if you manage to make it work
I'm really curious why the avoidance of Nashar's Tooth? Just seems to fit so perfectly into Gwen's kit in place of the Shadowflame or Cosmic (I think he was gonna build). Is there a reason for that? Or just for the "full AP" memes?
Pretty much. Shadowflame is a bit earlier powerspike and generally does a good instant powerup with the flat pen carrying weight early, but it trades surprisingly much of later scaling for it. You mostly buy it either for flat pen stacking or an instant early-/midgame powerspike, while giving up scaling and utility. People generally overuse it quite a lot. If pure AP is the idea, in recent patches most AP items give similar AP (as balance team finally figured out they have made mages so that they simply cannot perform without stacking AP), but with other scaling benefits. Nashor's or CDrive are both good examples here.
I really hate magical footwear, I just don’t see a situation where saving 300 gold is worth not having boots for the first 12 minutes of the game. You can make it happen sooner sure, but it’s a lot harder to get kills early when you can barely walk anywhere because you have no shoes.
Guys anyone knows how her W interacts with other Ults? For example, you see Cait ult, you W but then she gets her CD back again so she can ult other target. It seems to be the case with every target ability, Morde R, etc... Is this intended or just some Riot spaghetti code?
It's not exactly a specific Gwen's W mechanic. In Caitlyn's case, her ult doesn't go on cooldown unless the bullet has exited her gun (as opposed to someone like Lux or Ezreal whose ults go on cooldown as soon as you press the button even though they also channel before it goes off). If the person she ulted dies before she shoots, her ult is available to be used again in 5 seconds because she is no longer targeting anybody. If the bullet leaves her gun, then even if the target dies and is therefore not being shot by the ability, her ult goes on the full cooldown. Same thing for Morde. If he ults and the target goes out of vision/becomes invis (Vayne ult-Q), he can still ult someone else since the ability did not go off (he couldn't finish casting it due to loss of vision). Note that this is different from his ability going off but having no effect due to it being canceled by Morgana/Sivir E or Banshee's which will put it on cooldown.
it didn t feel like gwen uses a lot of mana to you cuz u went mid and almost didn t trade at all with zoe, when u re playing toplane if u ever pick gwen is almost for sure as a counterpick (unless you hate yourself), so u ll keep trading very often, or use abilities to push lane faster, and u ll feel ur mana going down much faster (as u said it s quite a strong ability if stacked and if u counterpicked toplane it s not hard to stack it), there are matchups where presence of mind and d ring together are not enough to keep up with mana usage (ofc as long as u menage it u wont run out but it s more confortable to have both)
I swear, every game I see with First Strike makes me feel more and more like everyone is gaslighting themselves into considering that rune good. Even “good” games I see with it only generate like 1-1.5k gold, and most of that gold is generated late enough in the game that you’ve already pretty much got full build and don’t really even have a use for it or at best it’s when you’re far ahead already and then it’s just win a bit more if you’re ahead at 25 minutes. It just never seems like it does enough to be worth the loss of impact throughout the rest of the game, the damage boost doesn’t seem like it’s that much either, it just seems like other keystones can do so much more early to help you get ahead while also being influential late. Gripes with a rune I don’t like aside, fun game to watch.
why is nobody talking about those creepy ass sounds coming straight outta nowhere?? for example at 29:27 it's been driving me crazy the whole game, WHAT IS THAT
hey pekin, I don’t know why but for some reason youtube is recommending me full playlists of your videos when you post now instead of the new video so it doesn’t immediately seem like there’s anything new. just wanted to give you a heads up.
I love how the team is constantly melting down about the smallest of mistakes through the whole game, but neglect to write anything about the positives, like when Pekin starts single-handedly making fights winnable with his ults. Too many League players are obsessed with bitching in attempt to feed their pathetic, frail egos. Brain rotted behavior.
Props to that Ali not hesitating to take every shot he could. You love to see it.
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take -Wayne Gretzky -Michael Scott"
Better than an Alistar that just sits in the backlane and not tank anything tbh
The team meltdown that lasted all game was hilarious. I'd rather be on the Alistar's team than either of those two. Actually... he kinda carried the game later by getting caught out over and over and lining them up for you to slaughter. lol
Watching GP desperately fight to keep team mental was hilarious. Like bro at some point it’s not worth tilting yourself
@@lukaskrause6022 he was one of the people trashing the Alistar early.
@@tristanridley1601 He did, in fact, start the fire.
Later fights I thought he was doing great. Like *someone* has to facecheck the bush and its usually a beefy top laner who can do that but in this case they've got GP so its gotta be the Ali.
Rengar players really do just face the smallest amount of adversity and give up immediately
This Alistar has more mental strength then the other 3 teammates combined
Did Pekin get First Blood? Nope

Damn
Dang, he needs those first bloods to make up for the lost cannons
🤓
consistently seeing +200 from first strike is so satisfying, and the sound effect as well. this champ looks really fun
I love Gwen gameplay, seeing the healing and the melting from a little doll with scissors never gets old
Idk if it just me but I feel pekin is being recognized more and I'm pretty happy about it. ❤
Honestly I feel he deserves it a lot. He ist just so good on so many Champs
Agreed 😊
@@manuelius6306 Pekin is the only league content creator that makes me want to play league again
Finally I get to see a gwen game by the best

26:19 78g Team fight. That was a let down :P

29:01 256g From Cho and Sylas. Didn' t kill them but First Strike basically makes up for it

That rengar honor hurt me. Wouldve given it to the Ali for tiltproof

This Karth caught in his feelings
My Girl Beats Me: my girl beats me
YESSS FINALLY i've been asking for this for so long FS gwen mid. Is even better now with the tiny bit of bonus hp regen they gave her this patch

Why does it feel like your team mates are having a mental breakdown every game?
I absolutely love watching you play Gwen! You should add her to your main champ rotation, you're really good with her
Yay, thank you Mr. Woof
As always, loving the series! I don’t really play anymore, but watching over the past year or so has been the most fun I’ve had interacting with League.
Also thoughts on full health vlad? I know his passive isn’t the most efficient going health-to-ap, but it could be interesting.
Pekin you actually did it. Lets go!!!!
He really does hate riftmaker hahaha
Plot twist: The Zoe is actually an AI who was trained on Pekins old Zoe videos!

@@qwormuli77 Thanks for the reply
Champ actually looks so cool and fun to play
Did Pekin play Skarner ADC? No.
Lose Streak: 21 (P.S. it's also my 21st birthday! Thanks for the gift of an awesome video Pekin!)
Great video pekin!
WOO LETS GO GWEN MID LETS GO
24:35 pekin got about 240 gold from first strike (half of what he had up to this point) and got more gold from first strike than from killing chogath
i think nashors should rly be 1st or 2nd item for gwen. just the attack speed to stack Q faster
I really hate magical footwear, I just don’t see a situation where saving 300 gold is worth not having boots for the first 12 minutes of the game. You can make it happen sooner sure, but it’s a lot harder to get kills early when you can barely walk anywhere because you have no shoes.
Hey, is tank nilah by any chance a possibility, or tank diana mid?
Love the team malding into a win. Those are the best vids lmao why are league players like this
any chance to get a karthus mid video? would love to see how good it is in higher elo
hey everybodyy welcome to the next commentary. my... jungler has already given zoe a free kill...
This game makes the champ look unbelievably busted wow
7500 behind ? how much did they feed?
Nvm the video starts and the jungler is already dead okay i see how!
While Gwen is off-meta, she's my go-to pick to completely shit on Irelia and Sylas players.
Props to GP for trying to keep the team's mental.
Not at the beginning talking about support gap when he wasn't doing shit hot himself.
Lmao the drama on this team is so entertaining. How could not lose your concentration?😅 i would read all comments while I'm fighting
watching your team lose their minds is so funny lool. I wonder what the enemy chat was like when you came back from a 9 vs 17 gap.

@@offtopfloor thnx for the reply, very informative! For Cait I will just have to wait for the projectile to be on rout to W then, thnx :)
Gwen's mana problems are a lot more prevalent in the top lane because there's much more chance for you to spam your abilities and take short trades.
Day 90 of asking Pekin to play full attack speed ahri for the off-meta climb!
Almost day 100!!
gwen is so fun to play
Finally some love for Gwen
Yo pekin, how about first strike karma? Been playing it lately it's fun :3
it didn t feel like gwen uses a lot of mana to you cuz u went mid and almost didn t trade at all with zoe, when u re playing toplane if u ever pick gwen is almost for sure as a counterpick (unless you hate yourself), so u ll keep trading very often, or use abilities to push lane faster, and u ll feel ur mana going down much faster (as u said it s quite a strong ability if stacked and if u counterpicked toplane it s not hard to stack it), there are matchups where presence of mind and d ring together are not enough to keep up with mana usage (ofc as long as u menage it u wont run out but it s more confortable to have both)
thanks for the upload

Gripes with a rune I don’t like aside, fun game to watch.
At 13:15 this 1/3/1 Gangplank talking about support gap Ali (0/2/3). Come on man, it's not like you were popping off either.
more gwen plz.. didn't know she was that op!!!
Hello pekin back again bark arooo woof bow wow
Any chance of a kayle game ?
is gwen mid good? i hate top lane cuz its so boring but i love playing gwen just never wanted to pick her mid felt troll haha
I think Gwen is one of the hardest champs to master
Not really, she's down the middle in complexity
god lord the damage is bonkers
i wonder why more gwens dont opt for everfrost? seems like a melee ap champ with no hard CC in their kit would really appreciate the root
Try korean gwen build with dark harvest(much more ap dmg)
You could also name what really beats the champs that you are playing, would be cool. Thx for good content
why is nobody talking about those creepy ass sounds coming straight outta nowhere?? for example at 29:27
it's been driving me crazy the whole game, WHAT IS THAT
Hey everybody! Welcome to the next league commentary...
Yayyy new video
good timing
His girl beats him 🎉
his girl talks too much :(
Wanna do top to challenger after this off meta to challenger?
playing gwen mid seems unhinged
All hail the scissors!
Lich bane no good on Gwen??
why is it that, in all the games where pekin gets tilted teammates, it’s always the adc that tilts
That's the secret: It's always the ADC or the jungler that tilts.
@@qwormuli77 it can also be both lol
pekin gwen game holy fuck
Gwen AYAYA
AYAYA SNIP SNIP
You ever gonna do a Korea challenge? If you can off meta climb to gm with a shit ton of champs I bet you could hit gm over there.
Hey if you see this your videos aren’t showing up in my recommended feed 😢 had to search your profile and I’ve missed 3 videos
That is not a fixable thing
20:00 📸🤨
Why no nashors on Gwen?
he said it was a dif build path
@@missbigsteak ye i know im asking why
It's better for splitpushing Gwen while he want to play teamfighting Gwen I think
its ok guys i scale
Honestly the mental maturity of high elo seems to be so low lol
id say im surprised no one on ur team said anything positive to you but thinking about it more im not
Would like to see an aphelios mid
hey pekin, I don’t know why but for some reason youtube is recommending me full playlists of your videos when you post now instead of the new video so it doesn’t immediately seem like there’s anything new. just wanted to give you a heads up.
I like rocketbelt on gwen
He says “a-we” a lots whats it?
Can you play so alistsr pwease
Instead take darkharvest very strong imo
I love how the team is constantly melting down about the smallest of mistakes through the whole game, but neglect to write anything about the positives, like when Pekin starts single-handedly making fights winnable with his ults.
