I love that I can look at Lolalytics and it literally just spoils the outcome of this game because Renata mid has been played precisely 5 times in masters+ this patch.
Haha I can't believe you actually did. Out of curiosity, is this the first time you've played her? I'm a support main myself, Master rank and the problem with Renata is even in Master teammates don't seem to know how it works or react to her W.
Before these two games I have played probably 7 or so games total ever within League. You could even hear me learn in the 2nd game that the W resets on takedown which I had no idea lol
Just returning to league after like YEARSSSSSS of not playing and Renata is one of the most interesting new champs to me, so excited to watch you play her. I know she's more of a support but been watching literally all of your videos lol you're super descriptive and it's building my confidence to jump back into 5v5's. Thanks! WOOF
Seriously, I'm pretty sure in the laning phase of game 2 he took a grand total of, like, 3 spell hits from Hwei. Those were some of the cleanest dodges I've seen on an immobile champ in a while.
its not completely unviable either on OCE theres a challenger player that climbed by playing renata top in like half of this games with a positive win rate
This video was made for meeeeee. Only way this could be better is if you were playing thresh. Can't wait to sit down and watch this when I have a moment, I'm excited
Omg! i had suggested Ranata mid when you were doing off-meta grind!!! wish i had called you a ... "fake challenger" to make it more appealing 😅 JUST KIDDING! Im happy that you finally played, haven't watched yet but im sure that you did great! thank you!
I think what made the renata mid strong these two games was because both games you had a hypercarry adc you could support in the mid game, and you also had a mage / engage support, having both engage and enchanter support makes playing hypercarries alot easier
Given your noticeable frame issues, and the fact that many others seem to be saying the same thing, it seems I've made the right decision in not returning to league. I was SO close, but then they announced this borderline malware being mandatory. Fuck that! I'll just continue watching others play instead, that's more then enough to satisfy any desire to play LoL.
Part of me feel sad that some ppl call vanguard malware and make fuss out of nothing but then i remember that we still have ppl who's against vaccines or believes that earth is flat. And since software topic is more complicated, i guess this level of ignorance is kinda expected.
@@ericgranderil7045 Part of you feels sad that people make allegory jokes comparing something that causes PC issues to malware? Grow a spine, and get that snobby stick out of your ass.
It's definitely not malware but i understand the stigma against it. It is by definition a rootkit, as are all kernel level anticheats. The issue isn't whether it's intrusive or not- because that bit is objective. It is intrustive. The argument is instead whether Riot and Tencent are trustworthy. They are not, and have proven via data leaks over the years that they are negligent. Point in case, please don't compare people genuinely worried about their privacy to people who are anti science. It is not the same.@@ericgranderil7045
Of all the streamers/RUclipsrs I have watched, PekinWoof is the ONLY LoL player that has ever impressed me. If he doesn't deserve to be called Challenger, then (imo) nobody does. He has good mechanics, good macro, good understanding of itemization, and he knows how to win with almost any champion he locks in. I've seen him perform better on what many people would call "troll picks" than those same critics perform on their main in an ideal lane match-up. My only criticism of him was that his thinking is sometimes too conservative on what's actually viable/good to play - but here he is locking in Renata mid, so I'll just be sitting here nodding in full 100% approval of the man for a while.
Lol, I remember when that champ came out and I was like "her E looks like it could clear a wave", I wonder how her numbers compare to the other support mages and control mages. Terrible CDs, and range comparatively is the answer. So much of her designs power budget is in the W. Truly a challenger performance
So this guy claims to be a challenger player, huh? Then how is it, that I cant find a single AP Rell mid game on his channel? How do you explain that Mr ""Challenger Player""?
19:40 That fight was mad. Like 4 Zaunites engaged in a frenzy fight. Both Renata and Blitz grabbed Zac all at the same time and just got yanked in while also getting stunned. In a cinematic scope it's awesome. 😂
This was interesting to watch. You made it work quite well. Also, side note, it's funny how many Zaunites and Piltovens (is that the right term?) there are in the first match. Renata, Twitch, Blitzcrank, Jinx, Zac. Camille too.
100% had FPS issues since Vanguard installed. Like permanently my FPS is fucked and my game is constantly jittering and it just makes my game feel so shit its borderline unplayable. Can barely play leageu cause it it.
Pekin, I dont know if they fixed it but there was some way to make AP Renata broken in Arena. Her passive went up to 15% per auto or something and you shredded everyone
I actually played against a Renata mid a few weeks ago. They were a duo with their jg, who constantly ganked mid the entire game, so it made a bit more sense.
PSA: Renata R actually has a few clauses to it. At the highest level, it targets enemy champions (allied to afflicted enemies). Then they target enemy minions > enemy wards > neutral monsters > allied wards > allied minions > allied champions > Renata herself I've left these comments on a few of Pekin's videos, not to say I can one-up a challenger player (I'm sure no one has pristine knowledge of every single little aspect of every single champion past or present, every game mode and game mode alteration, etc.) but just a little bit of knowledge that could help explain situations such as pekin's death at the end of game 1, by example 😀
Dude for however-many years she's been out, I've thought Renata would be good with a Nashor's Tooth, so much on-hit damage, and you have great dps on objectives with multiple procs
14:15 as a Renata player I can tell you that the counter play is to ult the moment zed ults you. Your ult is so slow and wide that he will land inside of it and instant self cc, which can be followed by Q delayed Q2
I play Renata mid, since she came out. She´s underrated as a mid-support. She can surive lane, has counter to ganks and can farm and shield with her e. Also she has huge impact on teamfights in mid and late game.
Base on new change to Quick blade....is it possible for her to buy Ruunan + QUick and then keep using Bailout on herself? I know you can't refresh the buff but if you manage to take one down with you during the duration you could use it again to prevent yoruself from dying and get the loop going.
She really has the most ass ultimate ever, I hate how melees spend most of the 0.005seconds rage time walking to get close to the targets. If I worked at riot i would make it so the raged targets get a minimum of 300 range for the duration at least
Pekin, im sure you'll never play this again.... but I really like using grasp of the undying on Renata and just building full hp tank with Heartsteel. Proc ypur passive and hesrtsteel with an icebourn.... pretty fun stuff haha.
17:20 i used to have this issue when i first started playing valorant, im pretty sure the fix was having riot client always run as admin (its been a long time so not sure but worth trying)
Tilterella used to play some Renta top. I ran into a few copycats right after he started doing it and top lane it was super annoying to face. Mid champs seem better equipped to deal with her.
You'd think ad blitzcrank would be good but most people have ways to get away from your hook especially mid so only person you can really kill is the squishy support or adc so ap blitzcrank stays winning on mid
Renata Mid is Fine as long as you're not countered real hard.. or like that one time I played it and the enemy jungler was messing with me not the enemy mid laner
Dommy mommy tank renata is the best renata. She scales horribly with AP. And the tangier she is, the easier it is to land good ults. Zekes is great on her, frozen heart is not as you want the enemy to have high attack speed. Heartsteel is a good buy if you can afford it too.
Vanguard runs all the time, can see all your passwords and all your homework folders and look into any running process i wouldn't be surprised if it gives you hitches
I don't normally play League but joined friends for few premades recently and the fps was so bad out of blue, even after swapping settings. I had Vanguard before tho, cuz Valo, but maybe more recent patch fcked up interaction or smth
Still what does renata mid have anything to do with if a person is challenger in skill or not. Could very easily just get camped mid by jg and feed enemy team and throw a game if want to or not. And wont matter how good they play.
You might need a tool to see what is bottlenecking your fps. something is basically asking your other pc parts to wait on drawing the next frame, because there might be some critical calculation. Maybe it's cpu time, video cache, vram, gpu time, hard drive read/write.... who knows But overall, i doubt you can fix it at home. Seems more like something that has to be fixed via some updates
SO IM NOT INSANE? I swear my FPS lags randomly.. it's not every game but I've been experiencing it too! Many many years of League and I've never had lag until recently.
gotta respect his persistence to get a renata mid game out of you lmao
true xD
Compared to almost the full year the guy asking for skarner mid the renata vid didnt take as long for him to make 💀
Wait.. it was you, no?
@@gerardoalvarado8425o
not really
All hail Zigzagoon of glascs. True challenger player
You speak the truth
Y ppl say he's not and y he believes it

@@PekinWoof Q also prevents you from auto attacking as well.
@@theangler1922 Ye I knew that one
The man, the myth, the legend... and pekin woof in the same comment section.
You can also flash during the cast time of R, to change the position of her ult like Seraphine R
Special Solo Renata Tech:
Keep a control ward, ult a solo target, place the ward behind them, and they will attack that.
That's kinda amazing!
Just returning to league after like YEARSSSSSS of not playing and Renata is one of the most interesting new champs to me, so excited to watch you play her.

love that you barked at him for added effect
@@juxtiicc it just felt right lmao
@@juxtiiccLMAO
As you should renata is such a cool character
I'm an Emerald Renata main, and I absolutely love this! Renata may not be a viable mid for most people, but you played this well. GG Pekin! 😊
I absolutely love full ap Renata on aram. The passive scales extremely well with ap and you can absolutely destroy frontliners
Seriously, I'm pretty sure in the laning phase of game 2 he took a grand total of, like, 3 spell hits from Hwei. Those were some of the cleanest dodges I've seen on an immobile champ in a while.
@@suspectsn0thing it's the sheer confidence of the swag walk
its not completely unviable either

Pekin is a truly -Challenged- challenger renata mid player HOLY
love this team already lol
"bot i somcing renataa"

i've been having the same problem with Vanguard, on LoL but especially on Valorant since the latest update, it sucks
I cannot even begin to describe the way I physically vibrated like one of those tiny dogs as I read the title
Not only did he get provoked by that comment, he played TWO games of it. Martin is very impressionable.
16:50 Vanguard has been known to cause fps issues. Many people had to remove it from their pc because it made other games unplayably laggy.
Of all the streamers/RUclipsrs I have watched, PekinWoof is the ONLY LoL player that has ever impressed me. If he doesn't deserve to be called Challenger, then (imo) nobody does.

I really like Stunt too, have you seen any of his streams/vids?
Lol, I remember when that champ came out and I was like "her E looks like it could clear a wave", I wonder how her numbers compare to the other support mages and control mages.

Well this is about to get annoying
Be careful brother, we can find your location.
annoying and unoriginal.
I really love the whole "malicious compliance" aspect of this video. Pekin sells it well.
19:40 That fight was mad. Like 4 Zaunites engaged in a frenzy fight. Both Renata and Blitz grabbed Zac all at the same time and just got yanked in while also getting stunned. In a cinematic scope it's awesome. 😂
Nah that moment on the Dragon fight, where you chose not to fight, my bronze brain kept screaming flash R just for the limit testing.
This was interesting to watch. You made it work quite well.
Also, side note, it's funny how many Zaunites and Piltovens (is that the right term?) there are in the first match.
Renata, Twitch, Blitzcrank, Jinx, Zac. Camille too.
100% had FPS issues since Vanguard installed. Like permanently my FPS is fucked and my game is constantly jittering and it just makes my game feel so shit its borderline unplayable. Can barely play leageu cause it it.
Same it’s horrible
Soo all we gotta do is pester and call you fake....You're a fake challenger since you haven't played Anivia mid...Day 1
Congrats, angler guy, you got him
God hand that first game. Who needs Bali Out when you have Blitz :D
Pekin I’ve been having the same FPS issues and I have a giga pc its vanguard for sure
Pekin, I dont know if they fixed it but there was some way to make AP Renata broken in Arena. Her passive went up to 15% per auto or something and you shredded everyone
fps issue is 100% because something is wrong with your computer, it has vanguard installed
I've been having the same problem with my fps. I downloaded Valorant a few days ago and Vanguard seems to give me the fps issues.
I actually played against a Renata mid a few weeks ago. They were a duo with their jg, who constantly ganked mid the entire game, so it made a bit more sense.

Dude for however-many years she's been out, I've thought Renata would be good with a Nashor's Tooth, so much on-hit damage, and you have great dps on objectives with multiple procs
Man Renata style and design is another lvl!
14:15 as a Renata player I can tell you that the counter play is to ult the moment zed ults you. Your ult is so slow and wide that he will land inside of it and instant self cc, which can be followed by Q delayed Q2
hits jinx with ult with no enemies around. walks into attack speed buffed jinx after talking about it earlier
I play Renata mid, since she came out. She´s underrated as a mid-support. She can surive lane, has counter to ganks and can farm and shield with her e. Also she has huge impact on teamfights in mid and late game.
16:50 That sounds like the same issue lots of people had with Vanguard in Valorant.
Quality content
I've also been having fps lag/stutter/whatever with league recently
I had great success playing Renata top and now I believe in it ALOT,I DID full ap and i even had a 19 kill game one time
Base on new change to Quick blade....is it possible for her to buy Ruunan + QUick and then keep using Bailout on herself?
I know you can't refresh the buff but if you manage to take one down with you during the duration you could use it again to prevent yoruself from dying and get the loop going.
Literally gaslighted into picking renata mid.
The angler has angled a big one
Well done ! Looks like a new pocket pick for you now
Oh damn he actually did it.
Great vid as always Pekinese Woof
This reminds me of the guy who spammed Dunkey's videos with "This isn't Bookworm Adventures Deluxe"
Pekin got “One-Guy’d” lmao
She really has the most ass ultimate ever, I hate how melees spend most of the 0.005seconds rage time walking to get close to the targets. If I worked at riot i would make it so the raged targets get a minimum of 300 range for the duration at least

Renata feels like the kinda champ to be picked as a mid/toplaner in proplay
finally, weve been waiting for renata glasc mid
31:07 Renata ult would be able to steal dragon here, if they all berserk and dps the dragon and kill it you would be credited with the kill.
yes it is vanguard. I started having lag issues too. It's pretty severe.
I dont care if you're grendmaster, wood 5, or alpha 1.8 veteran.
You are "i need a video to sleep to / eat"
And thats an honour
Not a real challenger until you No-Hit L1 mid with starting items.
This was as white bread as I thought it would be lol.
17:20 i used to have this issue when i first started playing valorant, im pretty sure the fix was having riot client always run as admin (its been a long time so not sure but worth trying)
Sad when you hit the fat ult on their fed jinx, but then your twitch killed the jinx that was massacring her own team and let zed get away...
Maybe play her Ad? I feel like she would perform way better. Great video Woof!
also thought about that! maybe give her something like nashors, lich bane and rage blade?? and something like collector just to be annoying
Now I know what I have to do to get pekin to play John Wick mid, but I don't know if I have the strength to do it
wow i had no idea this would even happen
Tilterella used to play some Renta top. I ran into a few copycats right after he started doing it and top lane it was super annoying to face. Mid champs seem better equipped to deal with her.
With autoattacks being important, I wonder how rushing (or second item) Lich Bane would work here.
Is ad blitzcrank mid possible?
You'd think ad blitzcrank would be good but most people have ways to get away from your hook especially mid so only person you can really kill is the squishy support or adc so ap blitzcrank stays winning on mid
Pekin is truly the greatest challenger Renata mid player of all time...
For some reason I find Renata so interesting to watch as a champion.
Never seen this champ fun disign.
how many dodged games did you get for locking Renata mid?
I was SO sure that guy was joking. Good intro "don't play this".
Complete honesty, this doesnt even look fun. She's so harshly a support in design
finally we have the renata game
Renata Mid is Fine as long as you're not countered real hard.. or like that one time I played it and the enemy jungler was messing with me not the enemy mid laner
Pekin you're a fake challenger because you haven't won with full AP Udyr mid in High Elo
Dommy mommy tank renata is the best renata. She scales horribly with AP. And the tangier she is, the easier it is to land good ults. Zekes is great on her, frozen heart is not as you want the enemy to have high attack speed. Heartsteel is a good buy if you can afford it too.
Vanguard runs all the time, can see all your passwords and all your homework folders and look into any running process
i wouldn't be surprised if it gives you hitches
Renata mid is the type of bad pick, only a real challenger can make it work, and you still need a good team to carry you.
Thanks Zigzagoon.
this video is literally when pekin gets one guy'd in chat.
This Pekinwoof guy might actually be pretty good. But can he pull off Zed Mid Crit?
I got the vanguard update yesterday and every game since the frame rate has been abysmal, it’s not just you.
YES RENATA GLASC GAMEPLAY LETS GOOOOOOO MY FAVORITE CHAMPION! xD
I heard you cave easily to peer pressure. Mid Sona when? xD
Lol I saw that comment on your last vid and knew you would make a vid on it
This Blitz is the MAN.
I mean Renata is the most charismatic supp in the game
I don't think you can do this in low Elo, you'd be basically alone
Yeah ive been having that fps issue too i think...
My favorite pekin is peer pressured pekin
I don't normally play League but joined friends for few premades recently and the fps was so bad out of blue, even after swapping settings. I had Vanguard before tho, cuz Valo, but maybe more recent patch fcked up interaction or smth

AP Renata in Arena is actually fun.
31:05 could of at least ulted. it was not going to be useful in lan and will be back the next time you need it.
...is this going to be bad? I hope not.
I like watching the strategy unfold, but...is there a strat? Tune in right now and find out!
You might need a tool to see what is bottlenecking your fps.
something is basically asking your other pc parts to wait on drawing the next frame, because there might be some critical calculation.
Maybe it's cpu time, video cache, vram, gpu time, hard drive read/write.... who knows
But overall, i doubt you can fix it at home. Seems more like something that has to be fixed via some updates
It's vanguard.
Idk, I think you should be a Renata mid main to be a true challenger
SO IM NOT INSANE? I swear my FPS lags randomly.. it's not every game but I've been experiencing it too! Many many years of League and I've never had lag until recently.
