48:36 Varus, completely alone midlane, no enemies on the map, supp is putting down vision and Jg is doing enemy blue: why did I die? it must be my team mates not grouping!
Imagine if there was a champion whose ultimate ability was on a short cooldown, had a really long range, and did as much damage as a lux laser... That'd be crazy.
Uhhhh, pretty okay match up because um if she doesnt just kind of mentally uhhhhh predict everything and she jumps on you its normally pretty easy to land your Q
so you almost always can trade back which is pretty nice but of course it is an assassin, there's a chance that if you get caught out, especially if you like rotating between lanes or something it can end up really bad really fast because uh, after you use your abilities you don't have anything for awhile and uh normally assassins kinda have lower cds, or ways of getting lower cds more than mages so..
Hey Pekin, thanks for uploading great content as always! There are some days where I’ll be sick or in a bad spot mentally and need something to help calm me down and your videos do that for me. They also help me chill out before I knock out for the night. I really only play arena these days, but I still really enjoy how you break down games and the champs you’re playing. Thanks again!
Man, as a support main the Neeko from the 2nd game is inspiring Not perfect but I love how aggressive and unpredictable her roams were. In spite of Varus' head being so big she actually went around trying to help all lanes. Good shit Love the Lux games as always Pekin, river scammed you out of that Q onto Kayn near the end and I won't forgive Riot for it
6:12 He missed a passive proc there, he did Q E R AA when he should have done Q AA E R AA. That way he would have killed her just as she got out of the root, she wouldn’t be able to escape even if she had flash. That is because the first line “wastes” the mark applied by Q. So for all the ambitious Lux mains, if you are that close to your target you do Q, immediately AA, then the E R combo and then you should have enough time for another AA before they can respond, as you can see she was like halfway through the Q root when the combo ended, plenty of time to weave in one more auto to get the full combo correctly. The dragon interaction was pretty cool though.
@@Kxtza1526 It’s not even an “essay”, I was just trying to explain it as analytically as possible, the most common mistake beginner Lux players do is that they don’t take full advantage of the passive. And apparently you can’t even do a bit of constructive criticism without snowflakes calling it “back-seating” anymore huh? I was even careful enough to not address Pekin as in “you did it wrong”, but I used 3rd person as in “he made a mistake” to show my intention of just giving some tips to the viewers. And, judging by your profile picture, you are going to need all the help you can get in this game dear. Hopefully you have the mental strength to read the entirety of this comment, your first response made it clear that TikTok has made your attention span lower than that of a circus monkey.
@@user-mt3hp6ty4y You think you have a lot more control over your dictation than you actually do-- Your careful address still fails the basic check of assuming that someone who is far more experienced than you in a discipline knows more than you when providing feedback. To your ostensible intent, you could have expressed that it's likely he went for the expedited combo rather than the damage-optimized one because he felt the expedited version had enough damage to finish anyway. Pekin clearly ***knows*** how to optimize combos for damage, and so inquiring as to why he didn't here is a better line than "Aha look I'm pointing out this 'mistake' with all the clarity of hindsight". The point being, the mistake here is misidentified. This isn't a mechanical "They don't know how to get optimized damage" problem, this was a "They misjudged the amount of damage they needed to kill". Criticizing it with "Lillia living the first combo is why I personally air on the side of fully committing to my combos rather than taking shortcuts" is perfectly reasonable. Lightly rephrasing "You did it wrong" to the exact same sentiment is less so. I will grant that with tenacity gone from runes there's less reason than in prior seasons to shortcut a combo when you're not actively being pressured like that, though. Not to mention the ad hominem. Do better.
@@Nudgarrobot Had it been a simple miscalculation, he would have mentioned it right after the combo. But even after Lillia survived he made no such comment, as in “If I did it the correct way it would have killed, I expected that to be enough”. He just went on like the combo was already perfected. Now of course, that might be because he knows he doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. However, seeing how this is the combo Lux players do all the time even at close range and they often lose kills for 10 hp because of it, I thought it would be worth while pointing it out, again, because Pekin himself didn’t say anything about it. It might sound silly, but a lot of people can learn from it. And for the record, I am not just a random viewer. I am a Lux otp, consistently GM on the EUW server, I would play Lux mid and apc when people still thought it was a joke, and that’s the reason the only videos I watch of Pekin are those where he plays Lux. I don’t think I am a better player than Pekin. But I know I am a better Lux than Pekin. All I did was point something out that I see people getting wrong all the time, since Pekin didn’t show any intention to do so. And yes, it wasn’t a miscalculation, it was a mistake, I mean he plays a lot of other champs too, maybe he forgot, maybe he got distracted. But a miscalculation wouldn’t have been left just like that, without a follow up comment about the idea behind it. Now your use of the English language and writing in general is very much decent, but your deductive skills need a lot of work, and unfortunately for you, those are a lot more important (and a lot more impressive).
Hope you're ok pekin, don't worry about the channel for now, idk if your unlucky in getting vids or did you get sick or something bad happened.. hope ur fine.
26:28 You might have missed it because you were actively trying to kill Ahri here, but yes. Your Neeko did soak EXP. Specifically 3 melees and 1 caster's worth of EXP.
Varus saying "I solo win" then dying 30 sec later lol... the pride comes before the fall
Lmao he was the only reason they almost lost the game hahaha
varus thought he solo wins but it was actually the neeko carrying 🤦♂️
Guys, do you think he'll tell us the AP ratio of his Lux ult this video? God, I hope so....
That's the only thing I want every time he plays lux
in lux ult 3099 the lux ult officially became the state language, currency, and only unit of measurement...
HE DIDN'T TELL US!!!
I'm going to bed disappointed. 😾
Honestly it hits like a Lux laser
48:36 Varus, completely alone midlane, no enemies on the map, supp is putting down vision and Jg is doing enemy blue: why did I die? it must be my team mates not grouping!
Varus getting caught was sort of a meme this whole video.
Imagine if there was a champion whose ultimate ability was on a short cooldown, had a really long range, and did as much damage as a lux laser... That'd be crazy.
Actually the dragon helping you kill made me laugh so hard
it feels like getting camps to assist is an underused tactic
How can we get a comparison to her ult compared to lux laser tho
Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary. Today we're playing some Lux mid versus Qiyana. There are uh, some people in our jungle.
i want you to know i literally just opened the comments as the video started and read this as he said it lmao
I threw an E at them and uh, hit the Lillia, so I got some mana stack from that for my mana flow.
Uhhhh, pretty okay match up because um if she doesnt just kind of mentally uhhhhh predict everything and she jumps on you its normally pretty easy to land your Q

that was a HEFTY trade there
Lux is so simple but honestly so fun to watch idk I don't make the rules
Don't sell yourself short. You make a lot of rules. Most of them are bs, but you're good at making them.
@@xVibra You're damn right. I will now make awful rules with pride. Thank you, kind stranger

As a Karasmai Kayn enjoyer that first game was satisfying to see you both dominate!
Clicked for the dark cosmic lux thumbnail but he's using cosmic lux. Literally unwatchable.
Game 2 doe
He’s turning into zwag ☹️
49:58 It is insane that river elevation difference still exists in League.
Is that why the skill shot didn't hit? I don't understand what happened in that moment
Hahahaha 😆 what wait 😊... the dragon 🤔... who started dragon? 🧐

The first Dragon said:
Huh? I got tickled it must have been you Lilia.

almost as much damage as a lux laser…
I cannot unhear you saying butter with an accent every time you say but uhh. love your vids, keep being awesome pecan wolf =)
the face expressions when varus types 😅😅
Hope you're ok pekin, don't worry about the channel for now, idk if your unlucky in getting vids or did you get sick or something bad happened.. hope ur fine.
Day 30 of asking Pekin to upload a video of him reading a bedtime story.
manifesting 🙏🙏
17:31
Guess I don't have that Lux 🤔
-ury 😯
PekinWoof, amazing content
I came for the comments, stayed for the video. We need more Lux Laser comparisons.
When you get whacked so bad that Pekin has to go check your account to try and crack the code XD
I always look forward to Lux videos
LETS GO ZOE AND LUX IN A ROW
34:31 Varus saying "Luxxana" like is an angry parent is so cringe
Pekin genius play casting his Q onto the dragon to get him to aggro Lillia what a god
Weird. I was literally just watching karasmai. And here he is again.
been wondering this for a while, but why do you leave the center of the base early and lose the homeguard movespeed? ex: 40:15
Pekin please play Ekko mid. It’s one of those champs I don’t think I’ve ever seen you play.
26:28
You might have missed it because you were actively trying to kill Ahri here, but yes. Your Neeko did soak EXP. Specifically 3 melees and 1 caster's worth of EXP.
omg seraphine was in the middle lane!! u should do that too :D
this Neeko is what I aspire to be, the ROAMS are SO GOOD
I love lux videos so much
42:14 wp
Hey Pekin, can you do a Lee Sin mid video? Thank you!
6:18 when the game just chooses you.
Her R does as much damage as a lux laser I hear
42:14 ::chef kiss::
it took me a while to realize that was karasmai on kayn
Malzahar mid day 20 pleas
Also cosmic lux is the best skin in the game
1 minuto ago is demencia
For demencia!! ✨🌟✨✨✨✨
@@hoaxygen My heart and sword always for demencia 🩷🩷🩷⚔⚔⚔⚔
Lux VS akali is actually preatty easy, taking exhaust or barrer you Just deny all the early lvl damage
I like this shirt
Damn you used Barrier a total of zero times ahah
maybe why he took tp next game
this varus was both entertaining and disturbing to watch
I feel like were gonna see a nilah video and im here for it (let me win marbles chat ill do it)

So sad how bad and difficult it is to make Qiyana playable. Her W is just a short dash that sets her up for another ability.
Omg hi 🧍♂️
Huh... no vid today? That sucks..
Came back here knowing that there was going to be someone to share in the despair. Guess I'll just die or something. 🦧
cursed day

You have been crazy consistent lately, you deserve a break ^^
