This is why I love Petu, because he's not some egotistic player who doesn't realize when he's made a mistake. He over-extended botlane and got killed by Camille and Smolder, and he realized that he made a mistake rather than simply calling either of those champions broken or unbalanced. He's self aware, and I respect him for that. Been watching him since season 9 and he's been the same way the whole time. Great work, Petu.
Yeah this doesnt change how some champions are able to just snowball like crazy mid into late game. the so called 0/6 power spike. Some champs you just have to not let the enemy get a foot hold. other champs it matters very little. Doesn't matter how fed/behind some champs are like Kass/Smolder/Sol/Nasus/Yorick/Kayle/Yas/Yone/Akali. You have to take them out of the game completely to keep them shutdown. Otherwise they can just take over the game.
@@guldamor7155 Camille is perfectly fine, her early game is essentially at Vladimir/Kassadin levels of trash, and even in late game she still loses most matchups on toplane simply for the other champion existing. Smolder on the other hand... yeah, just delete that champ from the game already
last vid: "i cant explain why but i just feel like hullbreaker is a good anti-splitpush item" this vid: "wait i just realized that hullbreaker is a good anti-splitpush item because of the minion buff" Petu really channeling that system 1 gameplay
I respect your mentality where you analyze your own mistakes rather than blame teammates. You take responsibility and thus improve your own gameplay. Subscribed.
Been seeing a few comments here and there lately talking about Petus "Cockiness" etc. Guys he's kinda allowed to be that way, one of the best in the world.. has the numbers to back it up, and it's not like he's going out of his way communicating with these individuals trying to play the mental game, or putting others down.. Remember this is educational entertainment by a humble Finnish gentleman. Much love sir.
I had the realisation that hullbreaker is an antipush item in your last video vs yorrik when you had the intuition that Hullbreaker makes sense but couldnt pin point exactly why while in game. Honoured to see that i have learned so much from you sensei! Mechanically, mentally as well as strategically. (Finally reached master 100 lp with shen!)
We all have days where we struggle. Learning from them and improving oneself is what makes that times worth it. You have taught me this many times. From failure we rise to success by learning from the past.
In my opinion is so much more valuable to watch an experienced player play and lose a game, i don't watch many lol vids but when i do i only find proplayers stomping the shit out of their opponents, how cool is that we can see this thought behind the process of winning. As a science student myself i cant but love the analytical approach petu has...
I just rewatched the first game of The road to rank one for old times' sake and I must say I miss the music in the video. In the beginning it was fun and got me all hyped up for the video bcs I loved that series and at the end it would just give a nice closure. I feel like you could have it as well on your current climb to challenger, doesn't have t be long, but yk like it used to be or a bit different. Anyways, I love your videos man. Best of luck!
15:04 I am curious Mr. Petu, could you have taunted the Lee Q on drake here, I am sure he can still smite it but would that be a good play maybe? Since Lee probably dies if you do, tho I am not sure would it have more impact to save it for later. (No flame just curious about the play in my head)
21:52 ! This is going to sound like rubbing salt in your 'wound', but watching your past couple of videos I have had the feeling of you being more cocky and disrespectful for the enemies' options overall. I do enjoy your content - especially the analytic parts of it - and I am impressed by you being able to learn something from almost every game... but you also have to put it to action at some point. Especially if you even *predict* a certain outcome but actively decide against doing the "right" thing. :/ That said, however, I will still be rooting for you and your Shen gameplay! 🙌
21:44 Still crazy to me that they have champs in this game with %Max hp TRUE damage. At least make it %Max HP Damage or a linear value like %AD true damage.
The concept alone is completely braindead by design. It's the sole uncounterable statistic in the entire game. You're supposed to itemize around certain situations and setups and then there's this trash that just demolishes you regardless of what you build. Can't do anything about it. Used to perma ban Vayne because of it but now every third character has it. Ridiculous.
Ive realized something interesting. May you try playing twisted fate midlane? The way you play i think you might be very good. For me you are like the dopa of toplane but shen. Similar playstyles i think?
So in 24:35, what if you didn't ult? You would be able to push bot and maybe lucian would run away instead of going in with your shield. Am I wrong? Would that be a worse play?
Hey Petu, if you're looking for runes for summoner spell haste I'm pretty sure ingenious hunter gives some bonus haste on that. I saw it once on one of Spear Shot's videos. Much love. Edit: Nvm ignore this comment petu, its trinket haste. Though that's still an interesting fact.
With the amount of game knowledge you have is it possible to make a video talking about all items in the game and explaining their strengths in general not associated to a specific champ. No one is talking about how strong or weak certain items are at the moment. Like I don't see Knights Vow, Warmogs, Deaths Dance a whole lot
I don't know. Hullbreaker as an anti-splitpush item sounds interesting with the minion buff, but you are also spending gold on an effect that only slows the enemy splitpush slightly. It will never let you win the 1v1, but only lose slower.
I feel like petu is having an identify crisis when it comes to itemization. Honestly feels like all these recent builds are really bad but you aren't experimenting with some obvious ones that I think are pretty good. A recent one that I came up with. The speedy boy build. 1. Sunderer/Titanic (matchup dependent) 2. Iceborn (Slow field is so freaking good. taunt flash on enemy adc and its just insta dead) 3. Force of Nature (item is super underrated) gives 120 MR when stacked and 15% bonus movement speed.
I like that we get to see how a defeat looks like. It is comforting to me to see that some of my loses feel like this petu loss: 6/2/8 Shen feeling powerless against a 2/3/6 Camille, similar CS. So often I feel like other top laners can be mediocre, lose lane and just outscale you to shreds. You can win the early game and in one-two plays in the mid-game throw it all away without a chance of coming back. Feels bad. I don't like the clickbait title. I think there is no evidence here for Hullbreaker being good. It doesn't allow you to 1v1 Camille, so you won't be pushing. The insight that it could be anti-split-push item because of armor and mr to the cannon is interesting but we didn't get a fair opportunity to see that in action. Regarding dematerializer: using a charge on ranged seems a waste. You still need one splash damage and one activation of hydra to clear them. If 2/3 charges on melee make it so that you clear melees AND rangeds in one splash and one activation, that would probably be better. If not, all of them on cannons.

He's self aware, and I respect him for that. Been watching him since season 9 and he's been the same way the whole time. Great work, Petu.
However, this does not change the fact that Camille and Smolder are still broken

Yeah true but when enemy team is 3 broken champs idk

"I need to learn to respect"
If only it wasnt so extremely rare to hear this kind of stuff
bro "I played Singed for 7 days..." vid would be so goddamn funny ngl
I would like 14 days because of the learning curve. After significant time investment the fun increases
wdym antifun? like it was just boring?@@LeviBue
bro is the innovator, the chef and the scientist
So one would say he's the master of inovaSHEN?
@@todoelmundoapesta why didnt i think of that
@@chemicalzxd no worries ma man, shen community has your back 🤘
I admire your self-discipline, Petu. Just don't let the pursuit of perfection burn you out!
He's Shen IRL 😂.
It's a known fact that the creation of Shen was inspired by xPetu

I had one of the worst workdays (math teacher). Your voice and video calms me down, thank you master Petu

The mental on this man

As a science student myself i cant but love the analytical approach petu has...
This seems like a real good second item after titanic. I usually build frozen gauntlet because it is usually too early for steraks to be useful
Xpetu saying “low elo master” hurts haha
Even though you're struggling hard, I fully believe you will get better and earn back your spot at challenger. Love your work, man. Go team Petu!
beautiful video, loving the daily uploads
I just rewatched the first game of The road to rank one for old times' sake and I must say I miss the music in the video.

In my opinion no sadly due to the fact of twitch lobbing W's over the wall and fiddle just stood in it
‘oh lord, singed is popping off’
😂😂😂😂 💀💀

26:50 and when 14:3 lucian with shitloads of gold avantage can barely scarth some 2/3 camille u know the game is at a shitty state
this was a real jg gap game. gets no dragons, no void grubs, no rift, just unreal lack of commitment to objectives
It's why junglers still get hard flamed
Ive realized something interesting. May you try playing twisted fate midlane? The way you play i think you might be very good. For me you are like the dopa of toplane but shen. Similar playstyles i think?
biggest compliment I have ever gotten, thank you
remember to use the blue trinket so you don't worry for out of reach bushes
So in 24:35, what if you didn't ult? You would be able to push bot and maybe lucian would run away instead of going in with your shield. Am I wrong? Would that be a worse play?
Hey pero love the content you play really well and am learning a lot from watching hopefully
You reached challenger
you are actually good petu.... ily❤
Hey bro, why u don't build AP items like nashor tooth for instance ?
Sorry question is heartseel still good on cc tanks ? ( not ones that have hp abilities ) just the item itself
Hey Petu, if you're looking for runes for summoner spell haste I'm pretty sure ingenious hunter gives some bonus haste on that. I saw it once on one of Spear Shot's videos. Much love.
Edit: Nvm ignore this comment petu, its trinket haste. Though that's still an interesting fact.
afaik it only reduces items haste, no?
the only things that give summer spell haste is ionian boots, cosmic insight, and a support enchanter item called dawncore
Oh, I remembered wrong, it was trinket haste. Mb mb

Items are very situational, so there's no real point in discussing them all. Plus there's hundreds of items, it would take forever to explain them all
just caught this in my timeline too lol
FIRST, ALSO HULLBREAKER SHEN TECHNOLOGY AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3rd
Sterak is an item that was put into the game on behalf of a czech youtuber called sterakdary
Dude you tried bamis into hullbreaker before? I dunno i Played it for 2 games now and i have to say it really is kinda crazy
Chef's video: "insert item" shen is actually good!
Reality: build tank and ult you dirty inter
RUNES? 2 adaptive force and hp per level?
New tecnology❤
I don't know. Hullbreaker as an anti-splitpush item sounds interesting with the minion buff, but you are also spending gold on an effect that only slows the enemy splitpush slightly. It will never let you win the 1v1, but only lose slower.
Delaying the enemy is better than doing nothing
Part 29 of asking xpetu to play Gwen and the shorter videos help me watch the most recent videos while my screen is grey
He is not playing shen, HE IS SHEN
Anathema's Chains the twitch maybe? from my low elo wievpoint she is the only ap dmg, full tank/supp mao dose not count imo
"that's why i'm stuck at low elo (master)" -xPetu 2024

But- A splitpusher Shen doen't ruins its entire concept?
Thats Kuba.
i play hail of blades shen mid is very good
lets ggooo
hullbreaker doesnt really make sense since shen doesnt win sidelane vs 90% of toplane champions mid-lategame anyways
Our shenology is beyond perfectshen, you wouldnt get it
Are you really trying to educate the master of inovashen that is leader xPetu? Repent oh lost lamb and accept the light of knowledge....shen.. yeah!
FIRST, LESS GOO X PETU
