I love how they behave when walking around jungle, sometimes branching as if to scout the area, sometimes regrouping behind Naaafiri or jumping into near bushes. They feel so alive
She feels really easy to play, while easy to counter. Master Yi / Warwick type of champions imo. Curious how she'll perform and how Riot will be balancing her out
@@DefnotdiabloYeah, gotta agree. She's easy to understand and pick up, but she allows for skill expression through both macro and micro. While it's not some Riven kind of shit, it's still cool that she's not completely "braindead"
Did Pekin get First Blood? Nope, but he was very very close to it, so no streak lost this time! Second (?) Blood Fight started around 3:08 Win streak: 1 Losing streak: 0 Highest win streak: 3 Highest losing streak: 11 Total Games Registered: 31
So if I'm reading it right, her Q heals her per champion hit by the second one, since it can hit multiple, and doesn't say anything about "first champion hit" or anything. So if you hit 3 people with her q, the healing could actually go kinda hard
This looks awesome--champ looks playable but not rly that strong. Easy to counterplay (unless she gets insanely fed like in this game, but that's true for most champs) Great new addition to the game imo
@@robertaap4295 it's not that long tbh, and it won't get you through enemy champs. It's not nearly as scary for engaging as her R movespeed is. There are plenty of champs with insane engage potential...Naafiri's got nothing on Zed for example. The thing most people are tired of is tons of mobility IN fights, and W isn't a great repositioning tool since it 1. gets blocked by the frontline 2. has a long animation where you're vulnerable and 3. is generally needed for the initial engage, so it won't be up. TLDR: I'm not scared, personally. Idc if she can get onto me initially--I just want to be able to peel her afterwards, something I can't do to a Yone, for example.
@@robertaap4295 it's a point and click dash where you MUST commit because you literally cant back out from it.. It's also blockable like caitlyn R, so your target can just go behind a tank and that goes your engage. She virtually has no easy way out despite being slippery with her W, and most of time in Pekin's vid, he would've died if not for soraka's healing. TLDR: Once you use W, you have to commit. There's no other choice other than that regardless of her Q damage and healing
I'm curious to see how she plays against similarly skilled players. Her range is a longer than I expected too. One shots like Rengar but can chase from even further.
Naafiri's April Fool skin should be like her pack shouldn't be hounds, instead they're Pekingese dogs. And she herself is a primed and preened Saluki showdog.
For some reason, I have not seen comments anywhere that Naafiri is very similar to Talon. Dashes, jumping over walls, ult, followed by a dash. Instead of Talon's blades, Naafiri uses dogs. Hell, they even look similar in appearance - look at Talon's pointed cloak, and at the sharp parts of Naafiri's body! 🐕🦺
Pekin, I'm curious to hear if you'll be doing any content with the new game mode coming out? Also keen to see some sett and Samira mid, with the new skins coming out.
The point of her e would be let's say you have a couple or all dead, it instantly gives you all your mates. This would also be really good with her ult, as she as more mates
I dont think she gets all packs back when they are dead. It just makes the pack go where he is casting e and heals them to full. Her passive ist to spawn a pack every 30 seconds, if her E would instantly spawn all packs on a 5 sec cd would be nuts
As the other guy said, that's not the point - as I see it it's so you can throw a dagger at someone under tower, have a full pack jump at them for poke, then recall the pack & heal it of any damage taken from tower
Summons always take aggro. They're like priority for minions, the same way cannon do for melee minions. If you dive, the tower will redirect to the champ.
What I like: 'DOGGO CHAMP' + No 273 long range dashes. If you are in, you are in. What I dislike: Boring ratios, shoehorned into assassin-only gameplay. Wish there were proper options for bruiser, perhaps even some meme AP build. Also I really hope we'll get a humanoid female darkin down the line. Some female takes-no-shit energy would be fun to seein the Darkin lineup.
If I had a nickel for every time a new video had the clickbait of first challenger pentakill ever on Naafiri I would have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Btw to answer the healing question. Q second hit heals for like 200+ BUT!!! it can hit multiple oppoment. SO you were landing more double Q on more than one champions and healing for insane amounts!
So, if Naafiri applies a DoT on Q hit, wouldn't Sreldya's or Cleaver rush be really good? The former would slow for the entire DoT duration, making it easier to hit 2nd Q and the latter just max stacks the armor shred with 1 ability.
the heal on Q seems quite high and the bleed is pretty long with the 4 seconds I wonder if we could just go like hydra first (for waveclear with Q) then serylda to permaslow and get CDR for Q spamm and more heals , and some eclipse to get more shields on top of that and then a shojin to abuse the bonus ad into cdr with the ult adding ad (and malmo sounds nice with that much ad) less of an assassin build and more of a bruiser abusing Q spamm maybe even slap a black cleaver in there to stack with the bleed
Would be interesting to see a bleed team, pair with darius and talon in a game. Talon can jungle, right? Or maybe Naafiri / Darius could bot lane. I think synergies like that tend to be very strong. Like Cass with a few poison champs on her team is just nuts.
Well that’s because cass E specifically grants the bonus damage even if teemo or twitch apply their poison. Darius doesn’t get 5 stacks from attacking a target that Talon has max bleed stacks on, for instance, so no real synergy there other than for a funny “bleed champ team” video
I wonder if she needs to be hot-fixed because there was a few times I saw abilities hit the pack, but no damage was shown. I wonder if you have to hit them with autos...
Damn, Im here early, but the video is not, Im past my bed time, but still waiting for the video before sleep, if I dont get enough sleep, its on you Pekin!
Please do Ap aatrox: Riftmaker Static shiv (impossible without) Lichbane Rabadon deathcap Nashors tooth Evenshroud Runes are whatever. This build relies quite heavily on aatroxs auto attack and passive for damage.
it's sylas's counter since it's hard for him to land his E with a pack of wolf can you cancel her W though, champs like caitlyn can just put traps where you land and you will most likely die
So it's better to use your second Q at the very end of the bleeding to max out the damage right ? so you get all the bleeding damage + the empowered second Q damage
The bleed damage is completed automatically when the second q hits, then it creates a new instance. So its better to hit as soon as possible for DPS by starting the cooldown timer of the second q
@@withinhearts1232 ohh, so if I understand well, if you hit your second Q at the end of the bleeding, the second Q itself will do less damage than if you hit it instantly (even if the total damage is the same) ?
Correct, also it has an missing health damage apart of the proc of the second Q, so if you can get in W or E before it you can do even more damage, so a general way to combo her skills for more damage.
I sometimes think no one watches the gameplay trailer, which shows that like, using R before W or that you can go through small walls with E, this is the 3rd person that clearly didn't look at the trailer...
Braum is gonna be a strong pick vs her, her w stopping on first champ hit means she'll never get to the adc vs Braum. I think she'll also struggle vs champions that are more mobile then her as she wont be able to fallow them if the w is on cd so champions like: Zed and Yasuo. I also wonder how champions that can easily kill her pack mates like Diana, Syndra, and Asol will do verse her.
Pekin: Wow I don't know where all this healing is coming from! my Q I guess..

23:33 This is what your E is for, it prevents your little guys from all going in and dying

Literally had a soraka behind

Ofc she is a melee darkin, thats the trait for them.
I don't think it heals for every person hit, just heals once. The massive healing in the jungle fight was from soraka
@@kylianos3907 maybe watch it better,
top side he Hit multiple people and got a Bigger heal without soraka
if i understand it right, she heals on double q on champs, so only if they bleed from 1t part. But yes, you can in theory heal 5 times for ine q.

The range on W seems to not offer a lot of counterplay. Her having a 1000+ range point and click dash is kind of weird.

4:29 the packmate last hit for you without any prompt, just his kindness.
I'm curious to see how she plays against similarly skilled players. Her range is a longer than I expected too. One shots like Rengar but can chase from even further.
The packmates are going to be annoying for champs who have skill shots that can only hit 1 target. She does look fun though.
as a xerath main if the packmates are like yoricks minions im going to cry
@@hunterlegg8139they take less damage from AOE abilities up to 50% based on level

Yay! Pekin did the thing!
i wonder if the dogs can proc muramana on hit effect. could be pretty busted combined with mana flowband and all the bonus ad it gives with her r
The point of her e would be let's say you have a couple or all dead, it instantly gives you all your mates. This would also be really good with her ult, as she as more mates

I love this, I appreciate you showing your skills in high elo and not taking it out on poor bronze players lmaoo
Her minions take tower shots, she looks really good to dive with, I think if she clears well she'll be pretty good in the jungle.
Summons always take aggro. They're like priority for minions, the same way cannon do for melee minions. If you dive, the tower will redirect to the champ.
@@defrte I know, but it gives you a gap closer without friendly minions to agro
@@AnimeisGarbage she walks infront
Same way Elise spiders don't take aggro
There's no way to manipulate it
@@defrte You can strafe to have the minion agro first but yeah I see what you mean
Do the pack mates proc manamune? Either way that chunky manabar looks like a lot of extra AD there

Q1, if it connects, jump onto them and Q2 to confirm the damage is gonna connect
Combo is probably if Q1 lands, then ult and W to E into Q2 for the execute and AA down if needed.
If I had a nickel for every time a new video had the clickbait of first challenger pentakill ever on Naafiri I would have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
Naafiri looks like a good jungler, she has self sustain and bleed is aoe... need to test it myself though
Hey man found your channel last week and I've been enjoying the vids.
Pekin: Percentages are great. I love percentages.
Everyone: We know... we know...
This champ looks like a lot of fun, can't wait to try her out
21:00 IT’S RAINING DOGS! HALLELUJAH IT’S RAINING DOGS 🎶
Looks like an interesting champ, definitely funny to watch late game.
Btw to answer the healing question.
Q second hit heals for like 200+ BUT!!! it can hit multiple oppoment.
SO you were landing more double Q on more than one champions and healing for insane amounts!
That was the most educational naafiri video so far
i love all the people at the end giving u the clickbait haha
Petition to forever call the pack mates "little guys"
maybe worth building an early grudge to make the 2nd Q easier to land?
I’m calling it right now
Next video: “How I started my Naafiri Mid addiction”
23:11 Nothing Blockes its q:
Yasuo and Samira left the chat
Btw I think That This Champion is actually rlly cool
Also This champ looks so fun
Woaw that looks scary. Great video 👌🏼
So, if Naafiri applies a DoT on Q hit, wouldn't Sreldya's or Cleaver rush be really good? The former would slow for the entire DoT duration, making it easier to hit 2nd Q and the latter just max stacks the armor shred with 1 ability.
Mans said fuck soraka 💀
did anyone else notice one of his packmates glitching back at 9:57?
the heal on Q seems quite high and the bleed is pretty long with the 4 seconds

less of an assassin build and more of a bruiser abusing Q spamm

A Pekinese skin?
always fun to watch you first time champs
Sounds like conq will be her rune, despite being an assassin?
I wonder if she needs to be hot-fixed because there was a few times I saw abilities hit the pack, but no damage was shown. I wonder if you have to hit them with autos...

Hi pekin, have you also tried the new arena gamemode yet?
19:18 soraka crying in the corner

Would bloodthirster be insane on her, or am I misunderstanding bonus ad vs flat ad scaling here?
Ah yes, dog theme Tuber with a Dog theme champion. Peak perfection. ❤
I'm thinking of a bruiser-ish high ad build, where you go duskblabe in to a manamune ravenous hydra grudge bloodthirster with conqueror
Please do Ap aatrox:
Riftmaker
Static shiv (impossible without)
Lichbane
Rabadon deathcap
Nashors tooth
Evenshroud
Runes are whatever. This build relies quite heavily on aatroxs auto attack and passive for damage.
Fun fact: If you dive fountain as Naafiri with W, the dogs tank fountain first.
she looks so fun, i havent played in like around 3 weeks but v hyped to play her, probably main her too :D
bruh the crazy healing is coming from your soraka man
Wonder if her q synergizes with Darius like how Cass does with Twitch
can you do like a yorick inspired build with seryldas into lethality?
it's sylas's counter since it's hard for him to land his E with a pack of wolf
can you cancel her W though, champs like caitlyn can just put traps where you land and you will most likely die
Can you play new nerfed Ivern. I wonder if he's still good as a Mid laner.

spear of shojin is gonna be a nutty item on her

That soraka was nuts!!
This is gonna be a banger
hahahahaha everyone wondering about the healing and soraka is just over there like:
Braum is gonna be a strong pick vs her, her w stopping on first champ hit means she'll never get to the adc vs Braum.
