And specifically Q cast on a minion or monster makes the berserk not prioritize champs, which is how you would use W to CS with champs nearby. Though it means using up your stun which is risky. I don’t think Q specifically changes your priority at all if you hit a champ, it’s just that W prioritized the closest champ IIRC and using Q on someone will probably make them the closest champ. Which of course means that as you said ult berserk doesn’t work that way because it prioritizes your ult target only, not just the closest champ.
@@PekinWoofYo pekin briar will stop prioritizing champs during W if you Q into minion its very useful in lane if u wanna heal up from minions while enemies are nearby
Not even done with the video yet but man it's so cool to watch the difference between all of these games w/ Briar with someone who is actually figuring her out. Sure, there might be some bounce-back as people start to learn how to play against her but I think Pekin is the only one doing the champ justice right now on RUclips. It's nuts
its sad to know that briar has a low skill floor, but her skill floor is higher than most league player's skill ceiling. briar basically cant run, so only fight when you know you will win. and never fight without e. thats like, basically all you need to know on briar. and people just cant figure it out.
@@_piranha not true in briar's case. Simply reading her abilities and either doing a test in practice tool or watching a youtuber explain their findings is where most of the community fails. Her w is a self taunt. Her e is her only counter to that. The amount of people stating they had no idea what was happening, or their game must be glitching or lagging, simply because they didnt read before randomly pressing buttons, is the entire reason her winrate is so low. Briar is an insanely powerful duelist. She is only held back by the fact that far to many people dont know how to not int.
@@slademmxii8759I think you severely underestimate how much of an impact "not being able to control the champion" has. It makes you need to adapt to a different playstyle (that none of league's other champs have), that, you know, you have to learn ? Because the community will not learn a completely unique champ in just 2 days, even speaking as someone who has never played her ? She's certainly not 35%-tier, but she still got a hotfix buff which was needed.
@@_piranha im not underestimating it at all. The playstyle however isnt that hard to learn. Just have to understand that without flash and/or e up, you are at the mercy of the opponent the moment you press w. So only press w when you know their counterplay options arent available. Or if you believe that their cc isnt going to be enough to kill you first. And that info comes from knowing who you are fighting. Doesnt matter who you are using. Just a base knowledge of "im playing a semi immobile melee champ that runs in a straight line at the enemy" and knowing all the weaknesses behind the fact that dodging anything might not be plausible, so how much damage can i take before this fight isnt going to work? Thats knowledge you can pick up from playing champs like tryn, jax, shyv, warwick, yi, noc, etc. You have a low health pool before you build health options, and dodging is hard without boots, so whats the likelihood of being burst out before briars kit can actually do anything? Thats the skill floor of the champ. Playing the early game knowing that you most likely will be hit with cc, you will run straight at the enemy for 5 seconds, and you are the squish without items. The moment you break past that early game squish, then yea cc doesnt mean nearly as much.
That last fight in game 2 was so nuts. You pushed Graves (and only him if I'm correct) way back, then feared him in the middle of the fight, buying enough time for Viego to do his magic. What an intense game!
Sad that yt algo doesnt appreciate your content even if you justvdo the same like 3 years ago. Love it to have an NA streamer that is calm and not screaming annoingly all day. Keep it up and keep playing high elo. Noone wanna see a pro stomping low elo guys :D at least not me
All those Warwick games really paying of. It was but a warm-up for Pekin to become the most insane (and probably only) Briar mid player. Those early first game kills wow
Second game was one of the best games i've ever watched! I mean... it is rare to see you fall that behind and you still find a way to make it work! viego got hard bullied early game, you brought him back to win the game how epic is that! Also tarzaned is such a pekin fanboy! after this game, nobody can make me believe otherwise!🤣
you can use your W and JUST target the wave if you q one of the minions btw. That way you can get your insane bite healing off of the wave in lane without inting it under tower. It won't focus the enemy champion if you do it that way.
That second game was absolute nuts, what a run of clawing back bit by bit all coming up to that Pentakill Viego Pentakill (Idk if it was Pentakill Viego but that would be so fitting)
I think the multiple unlucky scenarios you had in the beginning of the 2nd game are a very good reason for why she has such a low wr. The self taunt just really makes awkward situations way worse.
Briar is definitely a champ for people who know their capabilities and know what to do, this is a character that constantly punishes you for your decisions, especially in the early ones, it's quite amazing
I think you should be able to rotate your E ability. It's already way too clanky and difficult to use this ability appropriately due to her kit. If you can't hit it either it becomes horrible. Also make her ultimate casting time shorter.
did you try her with navori? you literally can spam w and q, you are squishy but deal a ton of damage, and can heal quite a bit with crit/lifesteal items
Navori quickblades is her best mythic. It scales everything including her bleeds and her scream. Also you can activate Chemtank in rage making that her best gap closer.
so I dont play this game but have consumed so many of your videos that im basically obese at this point. it looks to me, like Thornmail would work really good on briar, whenever you go berserk, EVERYBODY focuses you immediately super hard. id love to see that one time.
Q changes W target, but ult constantly tries to keep your target on who you ulted - if they zhonya's you'll go target someone else but as soon as they become targetable again you'll get back on them.
That last monologue about why you lost to Gragas was incorrect. You did not lose because itemization, you lost because of you. After the Berserk ended you never disengaged from the tower, you ult'd while under the tower letting it ramp up its damage. Had you disengaged first and the damage reset, you would have had that fight. But the tower did 60% of the damage to you.
I don't wanna be that guy but... Rakan lost the game for his team by using his E while tagged with Briar's ult. The fear was enough for Graves to get picked, and Viego used him to kill the rest.
Better Warwick because the doesn’t lose her bonus move speed when she enters combat XP Seriously, that annoys me so much about Warwick and it makes the poster child for chasedown champs surprisingly easy to escape from
Pekin this sounds int and is probably is but hear me out. Some of my buddies and I at work have theory crafted a build for Briar. Lethal Tempo, Flash Ghost, Bork rush into frozen gauntlet.
Did Pekin get First Blood? Game 1: Nope. Win streak lost! Last streak was of 1. First Blood was by ally Karthus around the 1:40 mark. Game 2: Nope. First Blood was by enemy Graves around the 26:23 mark. Pekin's First Bloods: 10 Allies' First Bloods: 22 Enemies' First Bloods: 33 Win streak: 0 Lose streak: 2 Highest win streak: 2 Highest lose streak: 13 Total games registered: 65
You need to duo with a blitzcrank and do a AP briar game. The 340% AP on her E is too ridiculous to not abuse. At lvl 9 it hits for more damage than a full fiddle ult.

That outplay to get his first kill against Ahri was insane. That's the kind of kill that instantly tilts enemies
11:24 The Q does change priority on normal berserk but the ult is different. You have to cancel the ult frenzy with E or kill them
thank you for telling pekin was painful not being able to tell him what up with it

I was rooting for you so hard in that second game
Looking forward to the inevitable Everfrost Briar builds once there are no mythics
That second game was intense. Hard to believe it was just over 40 minutes, can't imagine what it must've been like to play that out.
36:09 the anime villain when the protag gets the most bullshit power up ever
Question !
Could Shojin first item be great ? Huge amount of hp, less cd on Q And E
And the item is pretty Good rn
So i was wandering
that viego penta at the end was INSANE
Seeing Tarzaned lose and tilt out of his mind (again), today is a good day
The amount of times Karthus killed Ahri with his ult is hilarious XD
This actually was pretty impressive and cool ngl

Navori quickblades is her best mythic. It scales everything including her bleeds and her scream. Also you can activate Chemtank in rage making that her best gap closer.
That graves threw game 2 so hard. He was a fed graves but his decisions just f'ed the game.
What are your thoughts on the other build that a lot of people are using? Crit build with kraken. is that any good for mid lane?

insane plays
Q changes W target, but ult constantly tries to keep your target on who you ulted - if they zhonya's you'll go target someone else but as soon as they become targetable again you'll get back on them.
Watching this just makes me realize how many excuses higher elo players like to come up with to make up for their lower elo decisions. Refreshing.
would doran's shield be a better starting item? doran's blade is only active some of the time, vs doran's shield being all the time

Does it cancel your teleport or is it otherwise useable?
Oh that's funny. Guess it's coded to work under any circumstances or something
Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary
Someone already commented but if you Q while you cast your W on a minion you will automatically stop targeting champions until all minions are dead.
My favorite part of tarzand in your games is how mad he gets during and afterwards
q changes priority on normal berserk but on ult berserk whoever you hit with ult will be the only one you can target.
second game was a banger. plot twists for days
Activatable items seem really good on Briar since you can use them while berserk.
gracias
Not really a fan of Briar (don't enjoy the champion) but that 2nd game was a banger! Liking it just for that.

Brair is literally just warwick and its actually really cool to watch play
I wonder if the passive damage from titanic hydra would put the bleed/heal on enemies behind your target. Could be massive heals in a tight group
it doesn't, her bleed only applies on autos and abilities. could still be a good option late game but usually you need some resistances first
@@bunjay8226I’m pretty sure her W aoe applies it.

pekin, did you ever realize you can use W to waveclear if you use Q on a minion
i can't believe you won the second game
