And that's what I love about Pekin, he is honest about what elo he is playing in. (= Along with being a great player with awesome instructive commentary. Pekin should be required viewing for all League players (=
@@Dyanosis well they make far fewer and far less obvious mistakes. And oftentimes, their mistakes are on purpose just to troll. With low elo, there are far more opportunities to point out common mistakes. Also, in high elo, it’s more about forcing your enemy to make mistakes, rather than capitalizing on mistakes that enemies just make randomly which is more common in low elos.
Personally I feel like the problems with smurfing in videos are when a) it is not clearly stated that the game is lower ELO b) the person uses the footage to call something broken for the sake of views and/or an ego boost. Since this commentary is more educational it feels more like a "how to escape lower Elo" which is mostly regarded as acceptable, instead of " this full AP Samira build is broken" which you know...
i like watching (educational) smurf commentary because it helps me see lower elo laning mistakes more clearly, or at least ive convinced myselfl it does, whereas in videos of high elo theres way fewer and theyre way harder to notice
Thanks Pekin. Your videos always brighten my day. When things get rough I always know I’ll be welcome in your next commentary, even if I’m not welcome near schools.
Go frame by frame from 12:36 - It looks weird in the video as well. His Q barely touches you and you die. I guess he whipped it sideways at just the right moment that the damage tick happened as it passed over you.
More importantly Pekin could have thrown about a half-second faster, and R+Flash on top of Asol to kill him immediately and then either fight or run from Rumble after. The timing on Q matters because Asol flashed out of the second hit of Q and Pekin's second use of R hits Rumble and the wave and not Asol.
That flash Q towards Trundle near Baron honestly should've hit. It might have something to do with that stupid perspective thing in river, but the angle was 100% on point, and your Q looked like it was exactly where your charm aimed. Even looking at your cursor, nothing happened to make it go that direction, so I think some sacrilegious fuckery is amidst, and we should raze Riot HQ until the sky is red with smoke.
I actually do not care in what elo you play, Pekin. You are always very straightforward about it and you do not use it to make something look broken, you also don't make fun of people that you know are in lower elo than you. Also, I would not consider plat a low elo. The high/low elo division is unclera when we have so many divisions. As far as I know vast majority of players are in gold and below, so for the most of League community plat is already something high for them. Maybe we shoukd start talking about a "mid" elo :D
lol the kayn has like 80% wr on jungle but 40% wr on adc and supp surely there was no account sharing going on there ruining the competitive integrity of my favorite competitive moba game, league of legends (he was duo with teemo)
12:33 I think the mistake was not using flash after he flashed, because you lost 1 dash of the ult worth of damage, which meant he died later, you didnt get the reset or the passive healing, and died for it
I respect you being up front about the ELO of this game. Although...I really have to question why you have a "Normal game account" unless you're just trying to avoid having the entire enemy team go "ERMAGERD GM FIVE MAN CAMP MID BOYSSSSS."
Giving some honest feedback: I would rather watch a lower ranked game instead of a normal one. I personally don't care about the smurfing part and at the very least ppl tend to take the ranked match a bit more seriously, while normals usually go to clusterfuck mode really fast where the showcase gets a bit ruined. Just my two cents
I just returned to solo queue after a long break (over a year), and I didn't even know Asol had gotten a rework. Came up against him in lane a couple days ago while playing Ahri (my long-time main), and was like, oh, I have no idea what this dude does now. 60 seconds later, I recognized he really doesn't do much of anything at low level and proceeded to punish the shit out of him. Didn't need to know exactly what his kit did, the weakness was painfully obvious.
I think people rly underestimate Ahri dmg. Even in this Video, u went Everfrost Cosmic. Cosmic drive is not a good second item for her after the change. Shadowflame would’ve easily killed the Asol top(also horizon is a terrible item for her). + I think the reason she’s popular in pro play and high elo is bc people know how to teamfight. And Ahri is an amazing team fighter with her passive and R resets. She can heal, has insane mobility, low cds, so I think if her dmg was any higher she’d be a little broken. She can def still one shot an adc/support even if they have mercs if u build right.
Honestly I would have known this was lower elo just by the way the Jinx was ready to give up after losing a dragon that wasn’t even soul and a team fight.
That's my issue with Ahri. At one point of the game you can't carry alone with it. Even you a GrandMatser/chall would have probably lost this Gold/Plat game if Kayn was not absurdly fed. I feel that Ahri is ok on all (lane/Roam/Push/1v1/fights etc.) but not enough to be able to carry fights like a Cassio/Aurelion/Kata/Azir would do. That's why i don't like this champ.
You actually aren't missing those shots man. Riots spaghetti code is going hard. 17:41 Your cursor is on him, your charm lands on the opposite side of him. I've been noticing this a ton as well.
That charm completely whiffed that Trundle. You need to look into how animation cancels and buffered spells work. This was an E + Flash combo that he failed to aim properly. Stop blaming riot for misplays. You also need glasses, because that charm animation did not "land on the opposite side of him." It was no where near him.
I went frame by frame. Shall I list every skill that would have grabbed his toe nail? If fizz's ult can teleport to me from a 1/4 screen away and naut can magnetize his hook to jump 2 full body widths.... Then ahri charm should be able to hit a clipped trundle foot.
your mistake at 12:33 was using your r and w before auto hitting Aurelion, that's why the w hit the minions instead of Aurelion and that's why you missed the damage.
could you try playing some evelynn jungle? i know jg isnt your comfort zone but i think itd be super interesting if you try to get a game with that, win or lose
In this video amoung your other Ahri videos, yu specifically say (you want to reduce your ult cooldown as much as possible). As such, I would think your mythic choice should be liandrys, for the haste-on-haste stacking. Everfrost seems like a crutch. A crutch for an ahri support player instead of a midlaner? edit: and given how often you miss your charm... youre probably missing it because youre relying on everfrost too much.
This Kayn is the textbook scrub. lmao Gets fed, passive-agressive pings other teammates all game, dies once, blames teammates, doesn't have a clue how to carry, does something stupid almost throwing the entire game but thankfully the other team overextends and then he wins, pretending he did it on purpose. What a player.
Pekin woof, can u play **SPLIT PUSH AHRI**? just build normally but with phase rush ( all speed runes and situational second rune tree) pick ghost and TP or GHOST and FLASH #0
You're the worst player imaginable, you're not even challenger, you got hard carried by Kayn, and you got super lucky..... Is what I would've said if I was super toxic. Keep up the amazing work Pekin! Love you and the vids.
I think if you take it as "let me show you the mistakes Gold/Plat players are making" instead of "this is me smurfing" you'd feel less guilty about playing in that elo (I don't think you should care but thats you)
I don't get mad at smurfing but I honestly don't think it's content worth watching. You wouldn't watch a major league sport's team play with an amateur league right? At the very least tho, I appreciate the honesty, since many smurfs don't say their rank and make it seem like they are unbelievably good players.
wtf is it about Kayn as a champion that makes people act like this?? I think the combo of the champion being good at picking up easy early kills and get fed makes them ego inflated assholes who have no idea how to actually play around their team. I swear every Kayn in ranked goes like 8/0 early then dies 5 times in a row and completely throws their lead and then flames the rest of the team (when he took all the resources and kills) for being useless.
Everyone always says low elo and hi elo - why don't they mention a medium elo? all the snobs of 'anything less than diamond 1 is low elo kinda thing... i mean, a plat 1 or D3 player is more than tolerable and deservers a bit more than low... i'm not even plat, so not even trying to boost my categorization....
And that's what I love about Pekin, he is honest about what elo he is playing in. (= Along with being a great player with awesome instructive commentary. Pekin should be required viewing for all League players (=
well u cant lie about the elo ur playing in, people will just see igns in chats or pings and figure it out

@@dracocrash1 *cough cough* Zwag *cough cough*
@@kendobc kiiiinnnnnnggggstix says hello
Honestly I like it when you play in plat, gives you more room to show us mistakes we make in lower elo
High elo (Diamond and above) make mistakes too. And you know what? They make the same mistakes that other players do because they're only human.
@@Dyanosis they might make the same mistakes, but they definitely don't make as many.

Favorite league streamer/youtuber very informative and funny. Keep up the great work ❤❤
I’m a fan of him too
Most relatable Pekin vid lol. Turbo stomp lane. My jgl should carry. Why is he misplaying every fight. Lol. Love the content man.
When I played league I loved Ahri because she was so fun and easy, not like easy to play but easy to understand lol. Plus she is pretty.
Drinking game: every time Pekin says "believe it or not", take a shot.
Pekin gets to see why it’s so tough to play games in plat with a supportive champ. Hard to ensure your teammates will make good macro decisions
17:40 I think that charm missed because you cast from river, the elevation thing? I hate when that happens...
I love yoricks responses to teemo whining about him playing yorick. Not toxic, just stating facts (=
Love the educational documentary, add variety to the channels. Love to see more 💪
Even though I don’t play league anymore, I still come back everyday and watch these videos since they’re just great videos

Good educational video, I like that format!
Day 1 of asking for an unranked to challenger series. I know you dont like smurfing that much but i think the educational content is worth the cost
lol the kayn has like 80% wr on jungle but 40% wr on adc and supp surely there was no account sharing going on there ruining the competitive integrity of my favorite competitive moba game, league of legends (he was duo with teemo)
Funny how he was flaming tf out of Jinx when his boosted duo partner was playing like garbo too
@@tylerbillings5300 Especially when he almost threw a few times.
12:33 I think the mistake was not using flash after he flashed, because you lost 1 dash of the ult worth of damage, which meant he died later, you didnt get the reset or the passive healing, and died for it
Also lost the W damage since it wasn’t in range.
love the transparency!
asol is arguably one of the biggest failures of the balance team.lose lane,go 0/7 but then he starts pulling triple kills out of his ass
I respect you being up front about the ELO of this game. Although...I really have to question why you have a "Normal game account" unless you're just trying to avoid having the entire enemy team go "ERMAGERD GM FIVE MAN CAMP MID BOYSSSSS."

As a challgenge. On a fresh account, how many ranked games do you think you can win in a row? And what would you have to do if you dont manage it???!
Great video!
speaking of never playing against yorick, I'd be interested in seeing you do a lethality yorick mid video :)
That kayn bait at the end won the game. They wasted so many spells to kill him.
I honestly wouldn’t mind a little off role vid once in a while, still very good vid !
Did Pekin play Skarner mid? No.

Why did you go for a sweeper at 11min and not a blue ward
Remember only red Kayn does %health damage. Non transformed Kayn and blue Kayn don't.
Great video

God that kayn was obnoxious so was the teemo.
They sound like children cartoon villains...

Hey guys, i have a question does anyone knows a YT-Channel similar to Pekin's just for toplane?
i don’t think anybody that locks in teemo and then proceeds to feed has the right to call anybody but himself cringe
Why do players focus on kills over destroying towers?
