Fun fact: you can ult minions as Brand. This means that if a weak enemy is staying too far back but still close enough to the Hogwarts Midgets you can ult a minion to bounce it on the enemy champ. Brand's I'll prioritizes event champions and priorities new targets so after clearing the front line minions, you can bounce the ult from the mages to the champ.
Always fun to see Pekin playing my favorites. Zombie brand for life. One thing I noticed for better wave clear when you didn't need to hold q. Hit a minion with q first give it two seconds, then e to spread blaze give it two seconds then w to get the bonus damage on the blaze.
8:39 - Pekin could ult on the minion, if i am not mistaken the ult range for bounce could reach Qyiana and ult always prioritizes targets with the more stacks of the passive to detonate it
I've watched so much of Pekin's content now, that the next video in the auto generated queue is one of his. Doesn't matter what I watch, Pekin is always up next.
out of topic but i finally have a boyfriend yall! im always here everyday watching Pekin before falling asleep so i felt like sharing my happiness with you all ♡
I wish you and your boyfriend all the happiness. May your boyfriend be your support for bot lane, ganking jungler for top lane and buff sharing jungler for midlane
That's so awesome!!! My best piece of advice in the beginning stages is: be patient while you learn each other's communication styles. Don't assume they'll know what to say or how to respond
@@lavender7725 that's not as issue. my fiance hates computer games in general. but she loves me. and that's all that matters in life. all the best my friend
I recommend Maxing E as Brand mid since thats where your main damage is coming from in the lane, I'd also recommend a slightly different runepage with sinpiration secondary
Is it? I always max E last because you get the full utility of it being able to spread the burn after investing just one level, whereas W (and to a lesser extent Q) are spells that don't offer much utility in and of themselves unless they're doing big chunks of damage. Also W is built in such a way that its supposed to encourage you to set enemies on fire, cc them, then use W for 25% more damage or something. You waste all of that if you max E first and I don't see what you really gain from it
@pekinwoof it's not the first time I've seen u having hiccups associated with asthma, u should check that out, hickups and esophagic refluxes can trigger asthma attacks.
Still remember trying to get back into league again a few months ago and ending up with mid so I chose Brand and my team literally did not stop flaming me for picking him because "brand is a support champ you noob". I almost carried them, too, but one of the flamers was a Yasuo and started every conflict via kamikaze by throwing himself into the enemy team 1v5, using ult and then dying. And because one of my only peelers was always dead by the time I could get a rotation off, I'd get perma focused and die and then yasuo - already dead, mind you - would start up again "seriously brand is such a bad pick" 🤨
Hey @Pekin of woofs, how come at 20:45 when you kill the Viego after he takes red buff you don't get the red? He also had blue but your blue didn't refresh. Is it a bug?
Pekin would you consider trying hybrid skirmisher Zeri mid with Stormrazor, Riftmaker, Rabadon's etc. I've been playing her a ton in Wild Rift and I'd love to see you playing her again!
Hey I actually dont play LOL just somehow enjoy watching your videos, can someone explain the recall at 14:39? Is it a bait? or a habit of some sorts? :D
It was a normal base, I have Milio shielding me so my base won't get interrupted, but then the enemy REALLY wanted to stop my base for some reason at the exact timing Diana was there, so they died. I have no idea what Sona was thinking playing so aggro
@@PekinWoof : Yeah, but clearly there's something that is giving him that high of a win ratio across like every Elo. His CDs feel very long to me, but besides that he seems super strong. He used to be my favorite Champion back in S2 and for my 1000th win I got to play with his designer Coronach. Fun times. Oh, and I helped Gunisoo get his first penta while playing Brand. Classic memories!
Why they surrender on the first game. Sona r + yone r is a very good combo and the only engage your team has was the diana and i guess the aphelios(dude was so behind that a good initation is the best thing he can do imo). actually i was thinking that you were going to lose due a bad tf on baron xd. Very fun video btw.
still dont know why im the only max E'er, especially vs champs with dashes. Its much more reliable harass, its like 90% chance to hit vs like 40% with w and the damage isnt that its cd is less
The fact that this champion keeps dodging nerfs is f ing crazy. Him and Zyra are one of the most toxic champion to ever walk rhe rift with the dmg they do. But Brand is just f ind dumb
He definitely isnt OP, very basic kit, all his abilities have cast and travel time and he has to stand still to cast them. Only CC is a single target skillshot which roots him. If he is left unattended to spam all his skills then his damage potential is crazy, but has way too many counters to be OP
In this season, if the buff had spawned post 20 minutes then it gives its buff to the whole living team who killed it. But it no longer transfers between champions on kill. That’s what happened here (so Viego securing the red buff was good for him as he still buffed his team despite dying straight after)
To be fair, Riot's nerfs are like "Lowered Heath Regen Per Level by .2" "Lowered base attack damage by 3". Is that a nerf? Really? That's more like using a tooth pick to make a hole in concrete and saying you damaged it. Did you though?
Brand E is the major reason he's so strong. Yeah, his ult is insanely brain dead too, but E is point and click, provides wave clear/mregen, low mana cost compared to W, and has a super uninteractive range on a Blazed target. He can stay in lane forever due to his lack of mana issues, so he can safely chip you with E or a stray W, and control mid prio. Brand jungle is imbalanced solely because of the monster damage on passive, so it's almost strictly a lane problem. The radius of E needs to be reduced on Blazed targets, or the damage should be gutted. They should also at least attempt to balance his lack of mana problems. Yeah, Brand support is obnoxious and should 100% not benefit from any mana adjustments, but lane and jungle Brand don't even need mana support in items or runes, and never run out of mana. Not to mention his passive burn should never apply Rylais or even Liandry's since it's not a "damaging ability." Teemo E doesn't even apply it, so why should Brand passive? The 3 stacks of Blaze? Sure. Just the passive burn? Hell no.
The Milio assassination at 24:15 is SENDING ME he is literally off screen for one second and he becomes a body it is so comical.
yeah that timing is funny lol
"Milio, no!"
Breaking news, local zigzagoon catches on fire and destroyed high elo with his unpopular but overpowered strategy!
oh pickling wood…. youre my favorite pookie bear… what a great upload… keep up the work my beautiful bouncy honey bunny baby boy….
Motion to star calling him Pickling wood
@@Fronze12 I second this motion, all in favour say aye.
Aye
Aye
There is currently a wildfire near my house. I can only assume a wild Zigzagoon or Pine Marten popped off on Brand.
23:00 HE WHAT

Pekin ty for making these videos. Been falling asleep to them for almost a year now and the sleep has been great.
I just started playing again and went brand mid and everyone would flame me. He used to be a mid main lol. Good to see him get some attention again
Yesss my exact experience also.
Such a corporate video with all the Brand advertising! 😁
Underrated but on brand
Is it "Vei-gar" or "Why-gar" at this point? :) Come on Pekin decide it :)
And also it's bushes, not brushes. Idk why's he saying like this)
@@maxsemochko7876 brush is also correct.
@@beijo. Ohhh, i didn't know that, thanks)
Brushy-brushy, from the SIVHD era 😂
The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate... Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope.

good video Pekin 👍

@@Loctorakthe consistency of poke with e makes it worth it in certain matchups
@@Loctorak 100% sure E is undodgeable and double the range W stays a skillshot
Don't tell them!😂
Sempre boas notícias ver um vídeo do Zigzagoon
I loved this Brand new video c:
@pekinwoof it's not the first time I've seen u having hiccups associated with asthma, u should check that out, hickups and esophagic refluxes can trigger asthma attacks.

moreeeeee Brand :D more information on what items are really good on Brand plz..
In the 2nd game you can tell the Janna is tilted. That's why their perma roaming and refusing to even be on the same lane as the Zeri.
Hey pekin not to put pressure on u or anything but uhm I would REALLY love to see a Gnar midlane commentary haha 😀🙂
Brand and malzahar are literal nightmares to play against with now they have so many burns
But as far as recent nerfs come they only nerfed his ult base damage and passive on jungle creeps or have their been more nerfs?
Pekin would you consider trying hybrid skirmisher Zeri mid with Stormrazor, Riftmaker, Rabadon's etc. I've been playing her a ton in Wild Rift and I'd love to see you playing her again!
I wonder if a Liandry's -> Malignance -> Shadowflame build would be good on Brand.
Hey I actually dont play LOL just somehow enjoy watching your videos, can someone explain the recall at 14:39? Is it a bait? or a habit of some sorts? :D

You know what's crazy besides Brand?
My hype for the solo climb. 🎉
i think you should always go rylas first with brand, and FCR boots you basically perma slow.
The way Pekín says “brother” makes me believe he’s sketch’s brother
I FEAR what Blackfire Torch will do to Brand on top of Liandri's and his burn passive...
Brand really is great in all situations, even his 0/5 spike is fearsome
20:35 a bug happens momentarily. Viego smites and kills the red buff, giving it to the entire team. He then dies, but Brand doesn't get the red buff.
That's just how Voidborn Red Buff works
the reason brand wont be weak
is simply that his passive triggers item effects
if they would remove that, his dmg would die down really fast
Nice. That's what I've been asking for! Brand is broken and I ban him constantly. Surprised they haven't nerfed him with those win rate numbers.
Tbh he has gotten nerfed a lot... It's just crazy he still is strong even after them
@@PekinWoof : Yeah, but clearly there's something that is giving him that high of a win ratio across like every Elo.

@@PekinWoof: Also, you okay there? You were coughing a lot in the video. Hope it is just allergies and nothing serious.
43:43 the disrespect 😂

Burn baby burn!
you can tell i never read abilities bc i never knew brand got mana back from his passive lol
There is 3 kinds of commentary's, The previous, the current and the next, we always get the next
YES!
zombie brand is hands down top tier skin material
How did Qiyana get the stun at 6:34? Can she throw ult into bushes?
Yes. Her ult also stuns if you use it against water or bush, doesn't have to be against a wall.
Pekin, the cough, it keeps getting worse, you okay
ever since i started playing league almost 3 years ago i played brand mid, it's a rlly easy pick
20:40 am I missing something?? Where is the red buff?? Just killed Viego with blue and red and none of them got transferred 0o
The void corrupted red and blue buffs don't get transfered or refreshed to the killer
Viego doing less damage than a Millio is crazy
That channel Ez narrates for just talked about this
pekin, I'd love to see a game of gwen mid
More brand vid please
im not high elo, but ive found e max brand to be very good at crushing lane.
still dont know why im the only max E'er, especially vs champs with dashes. Its much more reliable harass, its like 90% chance to hit vs like 40% with w and the damage isnt that its cd is less
at 20:38, how the hell did he not get the red buff from viego
Wtf why didnt you get red buff when he died at 2038 does it not transfer anymore?
(1 Month 🥳) Librarian Ryze? :D
The fact that this champion keeps dodging nerfs is f ing crazy. Him and Zyra are one of the most toxic champion to ever walk rhe rift with the dmg they do. But Brand is just f ind dumb
Brand top is also a menace.
22:59 ?????
2:43 👀👀👀
Why you make this video😭😭 been slaying with him even before this.
Why is the video in the smite category ?
smites a good game :)
He definitely isnt OP, very basic kit, all his abilities have cast and travel time and he has to stand still to cast them. Only CC is a single target skillshot which roots him. If he is left unattended to spam all his skills then his damage potential is crazy, but has way too many counters to be OP
100% chance brand gets big nerf after 14.10 drops with new item… ik im boutta perma ban him
hello early pekin enjoyers
BRAND MID RRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU PEKINESE OF WOLVES
Brand only ever needed one nerf. stop items proccing from his passive.
Wolf
Pekin will never notice this message
No wonder the Diana is good, She is frickin Ronaldo.
You killed viego in jungle muid game while he killed red but red buff didn't transfer to you
In this season, if the buff had spawned post 20 minutes then it gives its buff to the whole living team who killed it. But it no longer transfers between champions on kill. That’s what happened here (so Viego securing the red buff was good for him as he still buffed his team despite dying straight after)

????????
Brand has literally always been this good/impactful no?
Yeah but in the past year I've played against maybe 2 total brand mids. That's why I find him underrated. High elo is always just meta picks
I thought you were playing Renata Glask mid again?
Ok, why is RUclips telling me that this is the game SMITE lol
please play malzahar
ADC mains malding per usual lol
To be fair, Riot's nerfs are like "Lowered Heath Regen Per Level by .2" "Lowered base attack damage by 3". Is that a nerf? Really? That's more like using a tooth pick to make a hole in concrete and saying you damaged it. Did you though?
why you play with ghost, you dont really use it.
Hey everybody!
Sometimes these titles are vaguely threatening
No views but have 5 invisible comments... hmm
Brand anywhere is broken
Please bring back mickey just one more time

Second but actualy first
First
this champ needs a nerf
"But barely anyone plays him" WTF are you talking about? Brand is in easily 1/10 games I play.
In High Elo I have played against maybe 5 Brand Mids in the past 2 years. Brand Jungle is popular though
