TWO IMPORTANT THINGS I LEARNED AFTER THIS VIDEO: 1. Nilah Q (the 160% AD Ratio) scales with Crit up to another 160%, meaning at 100% Crit it is a 320% AD Ratio, her Q will hit for over 1100 damage (WAY MORE THAN LETHALITY BUILD). I swear the tooltips don't explain this or poorly explain this so I never caught on. 2. RIOT HOTFIXED HER W TO DODGE TOWER SHOTS... In practice you use it right when the first shot hits and it lasts long enough that the 2nd tower shot also is dodged. So you can dodge 2 tower shots.
Wait, they want her w to dodge tower shots? I'm not sure I love that.. Do you think she needs to dodge tower shots for her kit to work or is it just another bonus?
@@clearsn4k339 nobody is a fan of dodging tower shots and nearly every other champ has had that function removed. Idk why they would give her this when everyone knows it will end up getting removed.
Comments are worth more than gold to the algorithm. It’s difficult to build a large engaged community with league videos though. Here some support, Pekin!
unless you're tyler1 and build your community around toxicity. Or Pokimane who built her community around, well, the s-word is considered a slur nowadays so I'll let y'all fill that in.
Last video: "yeah she cant be played anything else than crit in bot lane because of her passive and crit ratios" "Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary playing full lethality nilah midlane"
Haha yeah I guess I should of meant riot is trying to force her bot by putting 2 passives that only work with others, doesn't mean you can't try her elsewhere though
@@PekinWoof riot don't understand a passive of just pros don't equal solo is bad just mean dou better if they wanted to force her bot need con to be alone maybe dmg tied to support anyway I like that it's no con really to be solo
I don't usually comment on videos but your channel is one that deserves to grow and I want to see that happen, great video and commentary, I know it seems like you're fighting a losing battle trying to get big in a community that values loudness and toxicity for some reason, but I believe you will get the viewership you deserve :)
had some surgery done yesterday, feel pretty awful now- but at least I can chill out with some good pekin woof vibes. really enjoying the daily uploads and chill vibes :)
She seems like she'd work really well with ghost instead of flash, similar to a Darius where it's kinda hard to stay on top of people without the extra movement speed
Hey Pekin I really appreciate all the amazing videos and content you produce. This channel and PekinWoof2 are definitely my go to’s when I get on RUclips. Keep it up!
The damage in this teamfight 29:11 was one thing, the healing tho that's another story. Mf gets healed from half hp to full plus 200 ish hp shields. Yeah nice one riot.
I have the same issue with remembering the damage potential from the previous endgame and then overengaging in lanephase. The muscle memory just doesn't forget after sitting through that scaling process.
I am so glad I am not the only one that does the thing where you get a ton of kills on a champ one game and the next game you think you are still fed lol!
All bruiser items and runes work 100% effectiveness thanks to her being melee. She would still need a bit of crit though to flourish properly so maybe yone/yasuo build or so?
I wonder if there would be a build path where you start out building lethality... but once you have like 3 and a half items, you would sell your items and buy 100% crit.... simply because there is a discrete jump from 99% crit to 100% in terms of stats bonus on her.
You don't have to sell Eclipse > collector > dominik > IE gives you 60% crit the pen and you could technically get 80% crit with the last item but ... well its a melee and death dance exists for max damage you'd go essence reaver instead of DD then some crit item instead of boots for 100% crit full item (would be one of the most damaging champ ever with that , like dominik pen + eclipse mythic pen + nilah crit into pen with lethality dominik and 100% crit sounds insane)
The Q scaling seems pretty terrifying (especially since it chunks towers). I guess she's going to be one of those characters the enemy jungler has to camp early game so she can't get any items. Gotta say, it's kind of wild how much of her playstyle Riot tried to dictate with this kit. "You will play her bot. Your support will be an enchanter. You will build crit." Good to see you don't NEED to listen to their choices on that.
I wonder how good this type of build would be bot, to take advantage of the exp part of her passive. I know lethality varus was a thing at some point so I can totally see this working
I love your videos so much, you’re the only high elo player who spams cute champions I love, like Lillia or Zoe, so thank you for everything !! Your explanations are very encouraging
@@ncrranger6327 she doesn't spread her own heals around (I misunderstood that at first too lol) I figured lifesteal would be insane on her to AoE heal but she just receives other people's heals + shields, not the other way around.
"He died inside of me" Ain't that a mood 😔 Also star guardian skin??? Hype. Might need to start playing again. That's awesome. Also her soft synergy with Zac and Gragas? Crazy. Increases their passive healing and she gets a portion of that as well. Basically gives her a very small AoE regen. Also Pek you're doing fine re: Al Gore Rhythm. Most channels are considered successful if their average viewing is 10% of their sub count and you're well above that! Don't sweat it.
Not sure how I feel about her objective pressure, she takes towers really really fast, but she honestly seems fairly counterable. I feel like long range champs will make her life hell
@@xerathotp But then you become team reliant; if the enemy team peels their rangeds enough you won't be able to do anything, and then you'll resort to your team to engage in fights for you to enter. I feel like she is identical to launch Samira lol
Kinda sad as a Diana main that a lot of Nilah feels like a powercrept version of her with the R and pushing ability tbh. We'll see how she is after the usual nerfs tho.
Weird take bc Diana is a different dmg type and also a jungler so they’re good in different scenarios. Pairing them both together with a Yasuo sounds awesome
@@prettygreenbud this is kinda dumb because there are like 200 champs, you can always compare new abilities in a way that makes them sound similar. It isn’t a “no new ideas” thing lol
Now I want to see someone do lethality Nilah support. Sickle or Shoulders start, Umbral Glaive into Eclipse and Collector, could work with like a Kalista or something lol.
Finally started playing League again after about a year. Got Nilah, i'm two games in on her.. she's my favorite mid laner by a long shot right now. I LOVE HER!
wait a minute... so if she's "melee"... you can do the mechanical outplay of clicking death dance in the shop? nice. edit : so basicaly as 6 item crit eclipse we go up to 62.5% pen? that sounds pretty hard to tank her E having 2 charges resetting autos and her 320% AD ratio Q with max crit sounds absurd too with the 70+% AS from Q she just seems way too high on scalings (pen is from eclipse+crit build with dominik and passive)
@@TheGrouch91 of course. But all items before are good even without full build. Collector is great as 2nd item with the passive and a lot of ad even if lethality is worse than before, dominik third is always good damage wise and at 40% crit you start critting often (and Q ratio goes up) IE on 60 is always good
@@voidroad Sure I honestly think you can build almost anything AD on her and it'll work because she has both high scaling and crit synergies. However if you're going crit I just think that going with Shieldbow is better since you'll be relying on your AAs much more rather than your ult burst and that one can't crit. Shieldbow also gives more HP and a bigger shield so it will synergize with Death's Dance much better. Although Death's Dance will be good on her in any build because of how much healing and shielding she get's.
Fun fact: Towers have an item called Ohmwrecker on them, which says in one of its passive: Turret shots cannot be *dodged.* Well player on riot contradicting their previous stuff.
I feel like she is an ADC with the potential to be a counter pick to some champs like bel v, yasuo, yone or akshan and maybe against some top lane bruisers like shen too.
Hey, is there any way to see your League Video Settings? I feel like you Game just looks "softer" in terms of graphics and it looks much better but i dont know how to get there
Only adc I can decently play is Ezreal, but seeing Nilah gameplay makes me think I could play her as well, would be a nice initation for the other auto-attackers
I know it can be frustrating, but I think creating niche champs is understandable. They do the same thing by forcing mages to be unviable in support role by changing stats and ratios, it's just less noticeable.

been watching ur vids for years, love ur stuff pekin, another great video

the whip sound is so satisfying

Thank you for so much good content Pekin
She will work pretty well with the Gangplank build, and probably the runes too
All bruiser items and runes work 100% effectiveness thanks to her being melee. She would still need a bit of crit though to flourish properly so maybe yone/yasuo build or so?
Huge fan man. Been watching for awhile, keep it up!!
29:10 was my favorite part of this video. The little personal tip part at the end 👌
Here for anything you drop Pekin. Always quality videos
I can already tell, they're going to nerf has AD ratios and overtune her crit ones.
I wonder if there would be a build path where you start out building lethality... but once you have like 3 and a half items, you would sell your items and buy 100% crit.... simply because there is a discrete jump from 99% crit to 100% in terms of stats bonus on her.
No she would just be another MF/Jhin/Graves that sometimes scales their build with Lethality into the Collector/LDR/IE package
You don't have to sell
Eclipse > collector > dominik > IE gives you 60% crit the pen and you could technically get 80% crit with the last item but ... well its a melee and death dance exists
for max damage you'd go essence reaver instead of DD then some crit item instead of boots for 100% crit full item (would be one of the most damaging champ ever with that , like dominik pen + eclipse mythic pen + nilah crit into pen with lethality dominik and 100% crit sounds insane)
The Q scaling seems pretty terrifying (especially since it chunks towers). I guess she's going to be one of those characters the enemy jungler has to camp early game so she can't get any items.

Don't think I've ever commented, but I've watched almost every single one of your videos. Keep it up Pekin.

not if youre AA reliant. Or if youre immbolie when she collapses on you. I guess

She has the ability to get in on people but if you play against range poorly you lose 100% of the time
Hope that your channel will grow more ♡

Thanks for the vids pekin.
Always fun to watch
Hey pekin i Like u and commenting on your videos to boost ur algorithm. What is ur favorite drink? Beer guy or Wine guy? Myself, whiskey gurl
i feel like ghost would be awesome on her, because i can't see her having kill pressure early on and when she powerspikes she has enough damage
I agree. She almost needs it to run people down and late game she'll be able to extend it
Reading the leaked abilities where she had a sort of Zac Q and Camille R I wasn’t sold but she does seem fun
I haven't played league in years but is galeforce something you could use to supplement her engage/gap closing options? Idk the stats on it
I personally think so. She does well with other melee items too though so she might just need ghost instead of ignite
I did Nilah Jungle, running Dark Harvest with Eclipse and I was just… exploding people with my Q. It was ridiculous.
Nilah joining pantheon and Darius in the super armor shredding category
Begging for another ASOL vid while also boosting the algorithm
Pekin showing the durability update was more a guideline than a rule.
AD Diana with that ult, I like it
Pekin could u try kayn mid (either form depending on match up). Saw a Korean one trick get to challenger playing it mid.
This waveclear, hullbreaker and splitpushing forever?
Only adc I can decently play is Ezreal, but seeing Nilah gameplay makes me think I could play her as well, would be a nice initation for the other auto-attackers
Nilah can dash to friendly units as well so can she dash to Zyra plants? That'd allow Nilah to get full mobility over walls and such for chasing
"this is how you play, you dont go bot. you go mid."
YES.
applies to every champ lol
Good video Pekin
I hate the way belveth and nilah try to force you into a specific role with their passives
