hell yeah you played it! def try Duskblade vs a melee matchup and when they dont have tanky champs like you mentioned Darius is simple but he's been my favourite character ever since his release. Ty for playing my pick BekinBoof!
I have a new off-meta pick for you if you ever get autofilled jungle. Neeko jungle. Her clear is pretty decent, starting raptors, red, krugs. If you do it fast enough you are just in time to reach the Minion wave to transform and do a non avoidable lvl 3 gank (wolves side works as well but is more difficult). After just repeat ganking by becoming a minion. Also when becoming a small raptor/ smallest krug you don't show up on the minimap, so those ganks are impossible to figure out. You start with q, w second and e third. I've been trying it out and it honestly seems really good.
@@alexandergutierrez1943 she got played there a lot when the rework first dropped but shes 0.2% pickrate right now in jungle, so I'd say that's plenty off-meta
Usually don't comment, but I love your vids man! I was already a fan, but the Off-Meta climb was such a great idea! I'll be sad when it's over, but I'll still be watching whether it's off meta picks or not.
i love that ur getting into more melee champs like warwick and briar. would love to see you play panth sometime (i know you have played a few games with him before) but i just really like pantheon. hes such an interesting champ imo
Unfortunately Darius is just like that: easy to kite, so front-to-back teamfights feel impossible. Its been a while, but if i recall correctly there is a way to overlap your q animation with your auto or w. Makes the combo super slick for fast passive stacks.
Really enjoy your content man, I stop watching so many LOL RUclipsrs because it feels like they only post matches they do well in or when they stomp lane. You aren’t afraid to post loses and actually explain what you do things/your thought process on plays. Keep it up!

Wdym Pekin has played most of these Champs. Epsecially the legendary Janna top 4 v 5 against Tyler 1 where Pekin hard carried and won the game. As Janna. Support. Top
Yo, if you haven’t tried it before, I recommend some games of Riven mid. Super strong into melee champs, and can fare well into immobile ranged champs as well. GL on finally finishing the challenge
Did Pekin get First Blood? Yes he did! New record (3)! Subsequent record breaks won't have this text. First Blood was by in a fight around the 2:19 mark. Pekin's First Bloods: 15 Allies' First Bloods: 26 Enemies' First Bloods: 35 Win streak: 3 - New record! Lose streak: 0 Highest win streak: 3 - New record! Highest lose streak: 13 Total games registered: 76
Still loving the off meta climb! Great stuff. Been enjoying your pekin2 streams as well since I don't have time to catch actual streams! Haven't seen a riven game on the climb, riven mid in the future?
ye dont be afraid to hit the tank just to get ur hemorage stacks. I seen multiple occasions where u coulda stacked up. Full passive changes the fight completely
Does anyone feel Pekin is just so good that he gets lazy with itemization? Meanwhile I'm so bad I'm trying to squeeze every advantage I can like I'm trying to get the last bit of toothpaste. I feel like Randuins, Force of Nature, Black Cleaver (raw stats and movement) would have been such better items.
26:03 Hecarim is virtually invulnerable to them, because League is a well designed game. He didn't even have R. --I am a fan of lol, but years and years of unaddressed design issues just keep compounding on top of themselves. It's becoming funny at this point.
damn pretty greedy for ori to not take phase rush vs darius. almost every time i thini have a free mu and want to take FS, phase rush usually is just better
Bot has to be boosted. That's got to be the aafetest ranged comp just for getting minions if they can't fight. How they keep getting clapped like that..
And then multiply the time he needs to climb for the amount of games you expect him to play in normals before going to ranked. That is not how it works for people whos "work" relies on streaming high ELO matches.
@@CalaTec Except if he had more experience with those champs he could generate more wins and pop-offs and therefore better main channel content, then his second channel and the better quality of the videos would balance things out.
@@Ka3sahn198 the guy is challenger he knows the concepts. You don't play 2 games to get better at a champion, not many people in challenger play as many champions as he does. It's a waste of time. He should play at least 10 games to then go on ranked and try to pop off. When he is still good enough without doing it. As I said, for people who work for this, normal games are a waste of time and money.
Why doesn’t *rito just permaban* the folks who int games that don’t go their way??? Especially in high elo. Like are they afraid that it’ll cause the number of players to dwindle? I don’t understand. What could incentivize a gigantic game company to keep around these brats who intentionally ruin the experience for everyone else..
A viewer commented in the very last video that they'd like to see a video on lethality Darius mid, and I almost, ALMOST thought you weren't going to disappoint them when I saw the thumbnail. I'm sure this bothers them and I'm all about that
Going for black cleaver last was really greedy. Even the Maw i felt was suboptimal. Steraks+FoN/Visage wouldve been better. I also disliked the steelcaps, they had a lot of CC and a strong Ori, i wouldve opted for Mercs.
@@PekinWoof honestly I’ve had most fun with Taric, they pair really well and people underestimate Taric, he can be really aggressive with his gems which Darius really likes as a good all-in champion ofc
pekin i'm glad to see you committing to the challenge, your dedication is admirable
The one where Rammus is just in the base and just farming then Pekin just kills him is funny.
The silence was so loud.
I love pekins reaction to people making bad calls. He’s just looking like “yes that is something you *could* do”
36:50 nobody was with me but me. -pekin 2023 😂
Ashe and Senna going at each other was funny as hell lmao
7:25 that lillia flash was SMOOTH

Also a tip, if you get the Minion transform on the first Minion wave at 1:05 you can transform immediately, giving you a bit more time.
Had a neeko do that in a game with my duo and I playing ashe thresh we all got so fed we steamroller the hame and it was hilarious
Honestly it's just too easy to feed your lanes!
how is neeko jg off meta

Yeah you just animation cancel the auto + w so fast it basically looks like you only did half an auto plus q.
I see they banned your Briar so you went beefy Briar.

the rammus was such a psycho i love it
This team seems like a great example of why bait and alive pings are being removed...
I legit thought this was going to be a 2-game video lol. To my surprise
I'd like to see you carry a match on this champ, every darius game I see is just like this one unless they came out of top 10-0
It's so hard to carry as Darius 😢 just too squishy
@@raghavlall3035? are you building him full ad?
I have been watching this rammus on your Minimap for longer than watching u.
Its just hilarious dude, i literally couldn't stop laughing
Yo, if you haven’t tried it before, I recommend some games of Riven mid. Super strong into melee champs, and can fare well into immobile ranged champs as well. GL on finally finishing the challenge
Hey everybody, welcome to the next commentary.
Today we are playing some Darius, mid lane.
In our off-meta climb to challenger vs an Orianna
Use this as a pekin should make a beginners guide to mid “button”
Bruh, that first Rammus kill was fun
That game looked so damn hard. Jesus. First person to crack costs the fights.
pekin da goat fr
This was a fantastic game. GG’s
This felt like a game where Serpent’s Fang would have insane value from all the shields. Any particular reason it wasn’t picked up?
that should be senna's job, darius is playing front to back so he can't afford building squishy items that give no tank values
Pekin cutting through the opposition on these off-meta picks. Just cleaving them down. Giving them all the axe. He's Darius'ing all over 'em.
Wow that Senna's name was hell accurate
Love the videos. So sick of watching the smurfs in gold/silver with clickbaits! Keep grinding to challenger
Did Pekin get First Blood? Yes he did! New record (3)! Subsequent record breaks won't have this text.
First Blood was by in a fight around the 2:19 mark.
Pekin's First Bloods: 15
Allies' First Bloods: 26
Enemies' First Bloods: 35
Win streak: 3 - New record!
Lose streak: 0
Highest win streak: 3 - New record!
Highest lose streak: 13
Total games registered: 76
pekin not cancelling Q animation with stridebreaker somehow triggers me
Still loving the off meta climb! Great stuff. Been enjoying your pekin2 streams as well since I don't have time to catch actual streams! Haven't seen a riven game on the climb, riven mid in the future?
that might be mechanically too difficult at this level but it really does sound interesting
May I suggest Vi top as an off-meta pick? you can either go full bruiser or lethality for assassinations
The audacity of a 1-10 Senna pinging her ADC
"I guess im the tank" procede to play as if he were k6 😂
The only time I played Darius mid the enemy mid picked Ashe ...
It was miserable
Thank you for playing Darius. He is hardly played by anyone
Try Darius with lethal tempo. It feels great! :D
This gameplay hurt my brain and eyes
that was a great game!
I'm convinced that it is impossible to win as soon as your team locks in Senna
Amazing fighting skills for a zigzagoon ✌️
that bot lane was a tragedy
Sometimes you forgot to hit the stridebreaker, but you still pulled a nice Darius on In a grandmaster lobby
DARIUS MID IS MY JAM
the game was doomed when yasuo and lulu could dive on repeat botlane. your team played very well trying to hold them but yeah
BLADEE MENTIONED
Onward we climb, day 137 of asking Pekin to play full attack speed ahri for the off-meta climb!!!!
That was a great game
When I play Darius mid, I'm inting
Amazing game
maybe try kassadin again since he got a secret r buff that wasnt in the patch notes 2 weeks ago i think. hes kinda nutty rn
What was Rammus doing?
ye dont be afraid to hit the tank just to get ur hemorage stacks. I seen multiple occasions where u coulda stacked up. Full passive changes the fight completely
yayyy new video
Banger match still
I love Darius in lane but struggle in team fights. I need to get more comfortable with his movement and hitting all my q's.
if the game is equal, kills on darius is just waste of money
darius mid in grandmaster vs orianna is impressive
insane game pek0, wp
Pekin PLEASE try Darius Lethality with same runes, but add a Hullbreaker. Thank me later❤
Does anyone feel Pekin is just so good that he gets lazy with itemization? Meanwhile I'm so bad I'm trying to squeeze every advantage I can like I'm trying to get the last bit of toothpaste.
I feel like Randuins, Force of Nature, Black Cleaver (raw stats and movement) would have been such better items.
That Ashe was dogs**t
DARIUS!
Damn that ori would have got on my nerves.
I love to see losing games and how you handle them. We can't win them all!
26:03 Hecarim is virtually invulnerable to them, because League is a well designed game. He didn't even have R.
--I am a fan of lol, but years and years of unaddressed design issues just keep compounding on top of themselves. It's becoming funny at this point.
I'm first mid darius I played since 2021 xd
If you went MR third item and were more profficient on Darius, I think you'd easily ace them on baron
Gnar?
damn pretty greedy for ori to not take phase rush vs darius. almost every time i thini have a free mu and want to take FS, phase rush usually is just better
a game where bot is inting, what else is new
Bot has to be boosted. That's got to be the aafetest ranged comp just for getting minions if they can't fight. How they keep getting clapped like that..
I feel like pekin could play some of these champions better if he tried them in normals first

Ori gets hit by two Qs in a row for no reason??
noice
challenger orianna cant space a darius, NA is truly a doomed region
pekin i do not want to lane vs top lane bruisers... u need to go back to troll picks like bard
If senna and ashe put a bit of effort, the game couldve been won. Feels like theyre trolling tbh.
Why doesn’t *rito just permaban* the folks who int games that don’t go their way??? Especially in high elo. Like are they afraid that it’ll cause the number of players to dwindle? I don’t understand.

Day 1 of asking pekkin for yummi jungle
Too bad your bot lane was so poor, they could have had a good serpent's fang angle
Nice Darius mid, may have Camille mid soon!
Hey Pekin - garen mid!
A viewer commented in the very last video that they'd like to see a video on lethality Darius mid, and I almost, ALMOST thought you weren't going to disappoint them when I saw the thumbnail.
I'm sure this bothers them and I'm all about that
Actually that same guy posted in the comments how excited he was that pekin played Darius
@@rileycorrigan5593 Darn, blasted optimists!
Going for black cleaver last was really greedy. Even the Maw i felt was suboptimal. Steraks+FoN/Visage wouldve been better. I also disliked the steelcaps, they had a lot of CC and a strong Ori, i wouldve opted for Mercs.
wasn't their yas like 12/2?
@@el-nathan yes, thats why i wouldve gone deadmans into steraks
bounties are so lame
yas cheating isnt anything new
Personally I think he feels better bottom
I haven't tried that, who does he bottom well with
@@PekinWoof honestly I’ve had most fun with Taric, they pair really well and people underestimate Taric, he can be really aggressive with his gems which Darius really likes as a good all-in champion ofc
What is this interaction
@@PekinWoof Yuumi is great! Just like the Fnatic Garen/Yuumi combo
:3
garen more better play garen pls pek :)
