Some insights for anyone who is curious: 1. Smurfing is not allowed, technically, in most games in China. It's just the game companies (or in League of Legends case, server producer/area game agent) care little so people never get punished :P 2. Lots of Chinese streamers smurf or boost due to the need for money. You don't really make money streaming high elo solo q unless you keep being top 10 or something. They do have passion in the game but streaming grinding alone is not enough for them to live. (Not trying to justify smurfing and boosting by any means, tho. Just wanna explain the reason behind this a lil more.)
You know they can get a job right? Or is China place where people can only stream LoL and get money that way? Your second reason is pretty stupid to be honest. Like, who is only trying to earn money from RUclips or Twitch with barely subscribers and who knows when they will get enough in the first place? It seems pretty dumb to me.
@@Anonymous-gq7ho Smurfing in general in any countries exist more or less. Smurfing, for a lot of people, makes them fairly good money comparing to other jobs available to them. You think it's dumb probably because you have a decent job and good education, but in a lot of corners across the world people have neither. I'm here to share some observation, not to argue what is right and what is wrong.
Minion Dematerializer: In addition to the gold and experience obtained from killing the minion, you also gain 6% increased damage to that type of minion for the remainder of the game. Dematerializers beyond the first used on the same type of minion increases this bonus by 3%, up to a maximum of 12% if all three are used on the same minion type. this is the secret of clean wave level 5
It's always been like that, and it wouldn't even be good if it worked so they're not patching that shit in... the concept of zerkers sounds interesting tho
Wait wtf I didn't notice that at 1st. Ekko has a buggy interaction with that. And as a Ekko main this makes me happy bc I never cared for building it even though I knew I get the extra e range. Now I just might 😈
Its cause rapid fire cannon its an on attack effect it goes off when you give the attack command unlike on hit effects that needs to land to proc So ekko's E has a little delay before the blink and thats when rapid does damage Since ekko's È goes on cd after the effects ends or after you hit something with it rapid doesnt count for È to go on cd
On the topic of attack speed Ekko, remember Hail of Blades Ekko? It was a super interesting strategy back then but these days if there’s a matchup you would have taken it into, probably most optimal to just use First Strike instead.
my favorite was the Phase Rush + Attack speed combo, one time I outran and burst killed an Udyr, but otherwise it was hilarious to run around teamfights and burn all of the enemy CDs just by PR and Ekko passive and watching them missing everything LMAO
I just picked up ekko last week and im having so much fun his passive is really op i men i have had 8 super fed games and the passive is like 900 dmmg its insane
16:50 wow that still happen, guess riot intend for it to work like that. When i build ad ekko in the past, for some reason the energized attack is released when you E.
I use to play On Hit "Effeckto" using Rapidfire Pre-item rework, got to highplat with it. You'd go Rapid, Lich, Ludens, Deadmans, and Deathcap, and you'd 1 shot any squishy with an E, fucking incredible.
It’s pretty funny, the comment on top said in Chinese,”no one plays ekko mid anymore, only one tricks do it.” And then Midbeast said pretty much the same thing.
Xiao Lao Ban, the Lao has an "O". The vowel sound is exactly like if you said "ouch". So it's like you said "couch", change it to "louch", then stop before you get to the end: "lou" = "lao".
I am ekko main in master and stopped playing him cause he is in a weak spot. Even thought this guy is really good on ekko I feel it's really hard to it be viable in high elo mid tbh since he can no longer instant burst people unless he has a huge adv... Vel is a way better champ if this guy wins as ekko it's because he is good not because the champ is good at all.
@@lrequiemalbertozamora7570 That's subjective. There are people who say that diomound is high elo other that say that plat is high elo other that consider high elo only challenger other that only consider high challenger high elo. If u don't consider it as high elo then don't but judge people for consider it is kinda reckless.
in china, the culture is all about how prestigious are the achievements you or your children have. There are many families in China that will make their children learn an instrument just so they can go around saying their child learns that instrument. Same with league, the prestige of having your child being in high elo is something that they are proud of, they don't care how they get it, as long as they get it. You'll see that many chinese and other similar cultured families will pretty much always expect their child to follow a prestigious career, doctor, engineer, pretty much anything that you can around flexing to people and makes a lot of money
Yo Midbeast. I am fluent in Chinese and notice you watch a lot of Chinese streamer. Hmu if you want a translator so you can understand what the streamers are saying. Lmk!
@@meiti2000 It's actually not a bug, rapid fire is an on hit effect and procs first before his E dash. Since there is a delay on E dash, RFC will hit first. If RFC kills the target, His E will not have a target to dash into. Which means he can E into another target. It happens again here 16:48 slow it down to 0.50 or 0.25. Nid spear hits, leaves Jarvan with 20hp, He E's forward and RFC kills him, He E doesn't dash under tower.
Chinese league players' accounts were linked to their QQ accounts (you can choose not to but most ppl do), in which you can select your gender since its a social network app.
I just love Ekko as a champion, couple seasons ago when the new rune systems were out and the old jungle items were still a thing I would run tank ekko with the slow smite with grasp of the undying and iceborn gautlet,no one would be able to counter me.
Midbeast has been lacking hard lately. Hardly post lately and only drops an 18minute video. This is not the same midbreast I’ve watched the last 3 years
In China its perfectly ok to boost? I remember when Dopa was essentially cancelled from playing league for boosting. He's still out there today on VPNs boosting others, his legend lives on.
It always surprises me how much control these high elo players have over their champ like at 5:46 I 100% would have flashed over the wall but he knew his limita
First documented case on the internet. Maybe someone's friend's auntie's room mate did it first but if there's no proof they did it then you can't really credit them.
when midbeast said hextech revolver i felt that
Tabi and revolver forever in my heart
And protobelt too
I wonder what DFG Ekko would have been like. They removed the item before he was released Sadge
5:45 jesus, 99.9% of players would flash there
Yeah cuz outside of China/Korea nobody would expect ezreal to walk up to the wall and use his heal and karma to run up and use her shield
Just pay attention to their cooldowns, Vel'Koz dumped his whole combo and J4 just missed his E+Q all either of them can do is auto
@@TGMviR34LoDzZ ye bro but they would have killed ekko if not for the heal and shields from his botlane
I wouldve either flashed or died

@midbeast can you try find a mid gragas otp from the super server? And ofc some video about one :D you will be my hero ❤
Could you start to include their na.op in the description? Would be great to see it to find their builds against most matchups
china doesnt use opgg
@@ethandoan6271 whichever they use that’s similar can work I assume though
12:8 Saw that bug on Vandiril's vids few years ago 😂
15:12 wtf is that
I remember going static shiv on ekko and E auto would insta prock shiv before he lands on the enemy. I think its the same mechanism
This build seems so entertaining
bro seeing you randomly in comment sections is so funny

can u do a video on elosanta and pussipu?
i just picked up ekko again and this video drops 😩😩
statik used to work like that, for example if you used your Q as garen it would proc if you just right clicked, waaay before animation of your Q
fun fact: his name means "little boss", which is kind of badass for some reason

3) think twice
4) steal kill as many as you can
