I was the Leona who recognized him! I recognized his IGN, but I couldn’t remember from where. I have Porofessor and it didn’t say I played against him before so I was thinking… he’s playing an off meta mid and he has a funny IGN… is it Pekin doing his off meta mid climb? I never thought I’d actually get to face him.
@@tristanridley1601 Initially I was going mid to hexflash over the raptor wall to kill him under tower. I thought his R would have been on cooldown since he was just fighting mid, but then my team started camping that bush that got warded. I didn't think he had vision of me when I actually did flash in and his R caught me off guard. Besides that, I usually go for plays where I might be killing myself to split the fight so my teammates can win on the other side. As soon as Sona showed up, I knew it was a 3v4 so I was hoping Kaisa and Rengar would kill Sona and Varus if I distracted Fiddle and Xayah. Even I don't get Xayah then it's still an even trade if their bot lane dies since it's 2 for 2 (if we count Graves dying before this). Completely unrelated, but there was something Pekin said that boosted my confidence. I always wonder if I am roaming enough because sometimes I feel like I stay bot lane for too long especially in matchups like this where I am against a Sona Varus who can't threaten my ADC early. At some point during the match, Pekin mentioned that I came mid about 3 times already so he had to look to see where I was and then he warded a bush as I was mid again. It gave me confidence that I was roaming enough.
Xayah is just a super fun champ, man. I generally hate playing ADCs but Xayah has a really cool and unique playstyle that I just love. And a decent amount of nuance. Really glad we got 2 games from Pekin. Would be cool to see again, too - obviously there's still room to grow with this champ and I love seeing her in midlane!
Hey Pekin, I would love to see Aphelios mid! I don’t know what the champ does + I never see him played mid so I think that would be very original and cool
Sejuani mid. She's a monster once she hits her lvl 6 powerspike and can instantly kill lane opponents with that + electrocute and ignite. I suggest Hextech Rocketbelt for lots of magic pen and the extra dash and damage.
My request is just ADCs mid in general. Love seeing/playing it, and I've noticed it usually does well for you view-wise! I think a lot of us love ADC champs but not the role edit: this garen in the second game is such a breath of fresh air. cant remember last time i saw somebody using chat to shotcall like that without being a dick, and he played super well. cool dude. want more players like that in my games
I love Xayah but I strongly dislike the ADC role so it's good to see lethality is alive again (unless it never died but I haven't seen it recently), love mages and Xayah feels a lot like one!
Ap gnar with w max or shaco mid would be nice to see. Maybe even tank (or some kind of tank item in the buid and maybe conqueror) fiddle mid would be interesting. Keep up the nice vids!
Damn Pekin I really hope you read this coment. You commentary on this video was awesome and I really enjoy it a lot. Love to see how you are getting in higher elo and opponents start getting smarter
I remember the important runes for Xayah mid were Aery and Scorch. It's so easy to get frequent small pokes in with Xayah's Q, E and Passive that the short cooldowns on both Aery and Scorch contribute a lot of damage to the otherwise negligible early poke. And yeah, the reason Xayah mid was meta last time was they lowered her Q cooldown to try and get her played again, as level 1 Q, which you maxed last, felt bad on ADC Xayah. This resulted in people building Lethality botlane which did very well, and thus people taking her mid. It was later countered by Kai'sa mid after her W AP buffs made her an artillery mage. Xayah was shortly nerfed out of mid by raising her Q cooldown again. Phreak has actually somewhat recently said that Xayah's Q is unlikely to get another buff like that to prevent this from happening again.
What about AP Ezreal mid? All you have to do is rush Shiv first (It has INSANE AP ratio against minion), which gives you the wave clear AP Ezreal always lacked, then build all your AP Items.
loving this series. I would love to see fiora mid >:) My favorite so far is definitely lulu though but mostly just because I like seeing irelias suffer.
I'd love to see what lethality Wukong mid is like nowadays. I played it a lot in armor penetration days and it was some of the most fun I've had playing League.
i wonder if on-hit lucian is any good, since his passive applies 100% on hit effects, but only 60% of ad on the second shot, so things like bork, wit's end, hydra, manamune, etc. still get insane value out of it. probably still run navori's since the cooldown passive is too good
I remember this crit Zhin Xiao lane pick being really cool in high elo earlier this season. It went Galeforce>Navori so you'll have to cook up a new path with the item changes. Maybe now Navori first could be a pretty sick spike, then Stormrazor ms could help you stick. Shieldbow is a cool option for later, as is new BT for raw AD. Slap on a last whisper item and it's a build. Of course you may need to go Maw/DD or tank later instead, depending how it goes.
50:39 has some strange advice. Armor pen is better than AP pen for AD champs... good to know... haha Build a last whisper item instead of void staff... ? ? ? xD
Day 20 of asking Pekin to play full attack speed ahri for the off-meta climb!! The new patch has ap ratios on the attack speed weapons, so build nashor's and this even better :)
If you use Q then E imediatly the feather have a longer range also collector third item would be the best since it gives crit and lethal (ur e scales with crit)
I played this game on and off for about 10 years, and i just recently got from you that plat and diamond don't go the way i thought. i thought plat was after diamond...
There was another challenger player named sjorry who played some glacial augment aatrox mid (not trolling) the idea was that if you hit the first q it's very easy to land your entire combo & you can run people down mid better with glacial (compared to toplane where you have more space to chase and sustain runes like conq are better)
alright so with the new ap ratios for ad items I would love to see an ezreal mid build maybe an on hit style ap with guinsoo's I'm not sure how well it would work but I trust pekin can play it well
Pekin daddy, i saw ivern is gonna get a buff and i know u like playing shielding on hit uato atk dmg champs so i would like to see that, or lee sin mid
ad thresh mid lets go pekin, ps youve made me want to play zoey but i just cant put the time in to actually get good. i do ok with her but i cant carry at all.
Try Teemo mid or jungle dark harvest/ taste of blood/ eyeball collection/ ultimate hunter/ legend alacrity/ presence of mind/ cd boots and laundry’s I take sheen in between to get some fight power E to lvl 3 after that Q Max
Hoping for AP Rakan next video so Xayah doesn't get lonely
YES
Yes, although i get very triggered when people don't build him correctly haha. It's electrocute with rocketbelt into shadow flame into rabadons.
@@darkienl5886 You spelled Lichbain wrong.
@@gergotakacs2756 tbf, so did you
@@gergotakacs2756 its lichbane
I love when the enemies do some real dumb things and Pekin is just like "we...will look at the ranks of these players..."
That pause when the enemy team recognized you was great.
Here's hoping for Illaoi mid
Illaoi mid would be fun! Maybe with Iceborn!
@@danyoten9204 even assassin illaoi works on mid lane. She has a lot of good matchups basically she wins almost every melee matchup

i love axiom arc on xayah because with how useful her ult is and how short its cd is as default it becomes almost defensive item

Hey Pekin, I would love to see Aphelios mid! I don’t know what the champ does + I never see him played mid so I think that would be very original and cool
Lol I don't think Pekin can handle 200 years.
don't ever fucking play apgelios mid
It’s really fun sometimes and absolutely terrifying other times
Sejuani mid. She's a monster once she hits her lvl 6 powerspike and can instantly kill lane opponents with that + electrocute and ignite. I suggest Hextech Rocketbelt for lots of magic pen and the extra dash and damage.
Would love to see Lillia Mid or Yorick Mid both have pretty crazy roam ability.
He's done Lillia mid recently and no shot does Yorick have crazy roam ability
Yorick roam potential? Wgen they do it in my games they just afk split push and nothing else. And die too
My request is just ADCs mid in general. Love seeing/playing it, and I've noticed it usually does well for you view-wise! I think a lot of us love ADC champs but not the role

loving the series and really loving the double games per video
I know youve played lethality Cait mid in the past but id love to see some more. That pick looks so fun when it snowballs
Love this series, keep up the work Pekin!
Ap gnar with w max or shaco mid would be nice to see. Maybe even tank (or some kind of tank item in the buid and maybe conqueror) fiddle mid would be interesting. Keep up the nice vids!
He already did shaco and fid mid
@@gerardoalvarado8425 I know. Realised that he played shaco recently, but fiddlesticks with conqueror and tanky build would be new.

Off meta mid is my favorite series you've made. Highly entertaining and informative. Skarner ap tank is my suggestion. Keep up the fun content!
What about AP Ezreal mid? All you have to do is rush Shiv first (It has INSANE AP ratio against minion), which gives you the wave clear AP Ezreal always lacked, then build all your AP Items.
rushing shiv = no mana. need to go biscuit and some mana starting item to work through lane.
If you run shiv you likely to run it like after 3rd or 4th item bro. Having shiv first item wont give you damage and delay powerspike too hard.
@@gasoline9666 Its not difficult to not go oom in lane as ezreal. You don't need to spam every ability off cooldown in laning.

I second the guy who said Aphelios mid
He’s such a fun champ of ahead but very unforgiving if behind.
Wanna see the Pekin outplays
Thanks Pekin I'm so happy !!! 😭😭😭
19:30
1 Grandmaster vs 3 Platinum Players
"Are you Pekin?"... Then that smile😅😅😅😅 ¯\. (ツ) /¯
I'd love to see the AD Milio again and see if it's still viable
The ideal runes for this are aery, absolute focus and scorch ☺
I remember this crit Zhin Xiao lane pick being really cool in high elo earlier this season. It went Galeforce>Navori so you'll have to cook up a new path with the item changes.

Armor pen is better than AP pen for AD champs... good to know... haha
Build a last whisper item instead of void staff... ? ? ? xD
when people asks pekin to recommend them a champion and he makes a series to subtly say "get gud" and you'll be fine with any champ xD

Great content. I think they max Q first on this build though so the A poke is stronger
Will you be taking any of the off meta picks to high elo?
Hello Pekin, can you please explain why you loose creeps when the enemy is freezing ? Thank you
14:14 what is TP? teleport??
Good to see lethality xayah I found you through your videos on her ❤😊
The nerf lethality xayah had that stopped her play a while ago was the ratio on q was changed so theres less base but more ratio
What do you think about trying to climb with ap kog mid in very low elo?
lethality varus is super fun!! 15 sec ult with full items, plus ghost blade is super fun (until it’s nerfed vv)
Did Pekin play Skarner mid? No.
Lose Streak: 556
Is tankmo still a thing? Would love to see teemo 😅🎉
Second game was a fun watch for sure
the mental on that garen was A+, shouldve been the honoree
alright so with the new ap ratios for ad items I would love to see an ezreal mid build maybe an on hit style ap with guinsoo's I'm not sure how well it would work but I trust pekin can play it well
loving multi game format
Pekin daddy, i saw ivern is gonna get a buff and i know u like playing shielding on hit uato atk dmg champs so i would like to see that, or lee sin mid
Ok but imagine how hard you could carry with kled mid
i love dark harvest videos.
Go Leona Mid In honor of your fan who recognized u lol
Would love to see some tristana with the new navori, not off-meta but crazy fun
Lethality Xayah was my first and always my favourite mid pick!
Nice videoooooooo :D. AP Rakan next??
I was hoping to see this one!
Yes, the ball is in their court-that is the sport word in its correctly executed form
I don’t think Rengar mid would work well, but it is really good toplane because of the bushes. Really really strong champion.
Assassin Volibear mid next? :)
Is Graves mid off meta? I would love to watch you play him mid
ad thresh mid
lets go pekin,
ps youve made me want to play zoey but i just cant put the time in to actually get good. i do ok with her but i cant carry at all.
Nocturne mid could be fun you can go bruiser lethality or even crit I've seen
Loving this skarner mid….oh….
Try Teemo mid or jungle dark harvest/ taste of blood/ eyeball collection/ ultimate hunter/ legend alacrity/ presence of mind/ cd boots and laundry’s I take sheen in between to get some fight power E to lvl 3 after that Q Max
Start dark seal refill pots*
Hi Pekin, i believe the best lethality xayah is with Aery and Q max
Can you try Sion mid ?
How does he make it so u can see ap and ad ratios on abilities
Holding shift while hovering shows more detailed stats
@@PekinWoof thank u very much
would love to see some form of bruiser viktor, grasp, divine sunder
Can you play lethaly quinn mid?
Prayin for AP jax or kindred mid, Warwick mid would be fun too
Collector should be good on her since E also scales with crit. Doesnt have any haste though
Day two of requesting Draven mid until you play him, I stop caring, or you tell me it's not gonna happen (I forgot to ask yesterday)
I'm once again asking for Morgana. Thanks for the vid.
Ap Rakan, Ivern mid, cool options for future vids c:
All hail the algorithm!
I’m running out of ways to ask for assassin Renekton mid 😕
I am here once again to post for the one and only Alistar mid.
nice 2 games :D
Quality 👍
yay it's pekin
I think it’s great if u include harder games so we can see how to deal with mistakes
Pls do nidalee mid
kayne video coming in Vi Mid timeframe
Day 3 of asking for AP on hit XIN Zhao
We need an aphelios mid video so we can learn how he works
16:10 Nice math, Nerd! Jk jk, but it's 81 actually.
yayy new video
Please try tank anivia ❤
U should max q on lethality xayah that’s why q cd was so long
AP Ezreal with statik shiv next pls
When playing lethality xayah make sure u q max first
Skarner mid please!
PEKIN I wait on youtube for your vids

Nice vid
Full ap Nami mid, show them the power of showering please
