14.7 Preview shows Katarina being nerfed. That was fast lmao. Could be small nerfs tho who knows (no info about what the nerf will be yet) Full preview here: x.com/RiotPhroxzon/status/1825739257375502361
i literally loved that gangplank’s mentality. he not only didn’t give up after falling very far behind to the aatrox. he grouped with the team, was always trying to help win in anyway he could despite being almost a liability for half the game. BUT my favorite thing about him was his “im really sorry for my poor performance this game, team” it honestly is heartwarming & a start contrast to the league community inability to take responsibility for their mistakes. he didn’t flame anyone nor try to shift blame, always played to win, & then even apologized for having a bad game. i wish you would’ve seen his comment to honor him but oh well i’m still very proud of that random players’ maturity.
yeah im more surprised he wasnt flamed despite his heroic attitude. ive been that gp more than once and every team, without fail, will be more interested in blaming me all game while doing nothing to win, than just keep on playing.
@@mewybee I purposely tried to make the tower not kill me and tried to dps fast on minions but I didn't know if i'd level or not. I just attempted it without knowing if it would work
That really is just the Pekinwoof drinking game tho, a shot for every time he calls someone above 2/3 hp low or every time he says someone above above 25% hp is 1 hp Of course when he then goes and oneshots the person at 2/3 hp it's hard to argue that they weren't low.
When you main kat, you ALWAYS shunpo out and qw minions after the kill if you’re low health. ALOT of your kills happen just like that in lane early game.
So for that first Zed kill, even though it looked like the turret shot had hit you, the animation hadn't finished. So by jumping to the minion, you forced the shot to continue "chasing" you, and by some miracle levelled up before it finally hit you for real.
lmao. “one thing that i could maybe do to win trades a little bit harder/ possibly..” is to hold onto the Q. good ear tho great unintentional play on words lol
2:02 THAT IS INSANEEE. You lived because A) Your dash increased the distance between you and the turret shot, giving you slightly more time to live B) In that little time you leved up, which gave you just enough HP to survive the turret shot. Not sure if it was planned or if you wanted to just "get all the cs before dying" but dang, clean.
Main way I trade safely e to minion so can hit minion closest to enemy with q poke then w to move to dodge skills with second e. So the vast majority of your damage is actually your q so even having nerfs on e and r. Your e and w is mainly to reposition so it’s no wonder katarina win rate went up. It’s more in line with her primary way to single skill poke. Course if get combo will use but that never priority. Staying alive is.
Heyo Pekin what are your feelings about Shen ? Because i think bruiser Shen is hella underrated pick. Here is a suggestion of a build I like playing : Heartsteel, Nashor Tooth, Riftmaker, Navori Flickerblade and whatever tank item would fit against ennemy comp. Navori gives basicly a reset on your taunt after autoattacking an ennemy while he's taunted with your first e. Runes should either be Grasp (late game infinite scaling) or Hail of blade (quick short trade and get out) or Conqueror (longer trades only really benefits when Navori is completed) depending on the matchup. Would love to see you try this. As always thank you for the good quality content. ❤
29:30 "he actually does like no damage" after the 1/11 GP hit one barrel + passive and almost instakilled the Ekko with Zhonya which gives armor + level advantage
Thankfully Riot is finally giving attention to unpopular struggling mid laners! I was tired of playing against velkoz and ryze every game. Good job Riot balance team!
Yeah we should totally buff vel‘koz. He only has a 52% wr. Azzap TH-cam shorts really make people think that a champ that can 100-0 anyone dealing 60% true damage with half an item is the weakest champ in the game just because he doesn’t have a dash
2:00 That lvl up saved You cos You got bonus 85HP and was left with 55 and if You didn't lvl up and attacked those minions You would have a Draw between You and Zed.
Aery, Scorch with Sudden Impact on secondary and liandry first is nuts for me (tho i am a one-trick). Shunpo to a minion, Q them for free and walk out. Do this 3 times, all in - profit. +Push and roaming is insane with liandry first.
You missed out on playing 'Poke Kat'. The kat mains figured out that the buff allowed Poke kat to exist. Aery + Nullorb + Absolute focus + Scorch + Sudden Impact + Relentless hunter. All you do is literally spam Q on people and E away to a minion immediately to trigger the Sudden impact on the Q. You rush Liandry -> Shadowflame and you just basically auto win the lane phase. After this upcoming nerf, I dunno how well 'Poke' Kat will work
First and foremost. Love the cheese picture. Good stuff. Secondly, been watching this game for a while now and not just you. The very first kill, I had ro replay in .25 speed. Lag switch. Also loved how you were surprised, but then just got yo pimp walk on with the "I'm nuts". Confidence in your ability in anything is a huge factor to doing well. Like how some professional athletes lose their confidence or have the yips. Now they even go see a sports psychologist. Don't think you are the best. Know you are. Like I would tell people when I got on the bball court. Over that line I'm a human just like you, but inside here.....I'm a God!!
Pure speculation pure theory. Not in your game after all .Just looked 28:15 you teleported in was around 28:23 that had a perfect chance when guy was low health, when right next to their nexus, but you walked back so was too far away. With them that low and having the crit at low health ap item Flash e then w resets and have q e to get out and landing on your dagger gears you a second e to teammate to get out. Plus the combo reduces your ult which started about 35 seconds from reset, so if teammate poked that aatrox you have a chance to get a full ult reset out of that fight and end game.
This just isn't true. The highest upvoted post with the most comments also, addressed a tweet from KatEvolved offering a poke build for "Free LP". They're quite aware of how ludicrous the buffs are
OMG, are you implying that pressing E, Q, and auto attacking someone shouldn't deal half their hp? Or perhaps add a W and deal 66% of their HP. In reality, they should be the ones dodging the E. After all, it is a skill shot!!
this zed was just horrible lol. kats laning phase is weak and this exaggerates how big the buffs are, the buffs were in a bad spot tho, they shouldve put dmg on her passive not her q, ap needed a buff and ad was toxic and deserved the nerf.
Making plays. Thats one of the best games ive seen you play. Nasty shit. Some of your plays in that first game were gross. 7 deaths so far, who cares. Set tone. Dont be dumb, but dont be scared. Scared money dont make money. All that matters is the dub, that shit was impressive. GG
@@xelith6157 Not necessarily bad due to recent items leaning in her favor, just forgotten. Like many of the less popular champs, unless a patch breaks them completely they will go years without any attention.
Finally watching this cuz I enjoy your content but you on Kat is kinda triggering XD. Initially after this patch, Nashor's became obsolete and a bait buy. The only reason you built it to begin with is the on-hit on your ult and the nerf to that was significant enough to kill the item. This made Lich the ideal rush for burst Kat and Nashor's only for conq kat. The Aery build was also pretty dominant during this patch because of how significant the Q buffs were it made kat's lane phase viable against hard counters where she can't really ever trade and just gets shoved in and eventually loses. For your early game, it's important to note that you should always be using your E to get the sudden impact buff whenever you're actively Q poking your laner. Even before the changes this was advisable for the extra damage via mpen, but even more so now that it's just flat true damage.
That being said Katarina is one of the few champions where I fully believe that how you feel when playing her matters more than any 'meta' builds. If you get used to a certain play style, trying to change it is incredibly difficult which is why if you watch the one tricks they all have pretty huge differences in play styles
Sometimes you just don’t get good roam timers and if the enemy bot lane has a mini map roaming as a mid laner has been kinda dead ever since they changed the timings of mid wave arriving at the same time as bot wave. Even if you get a kill a lot of the times you still lose more overall because of mid wave states
I appreciate the aggression. Your mechanics are world class. Your confidence in your abilities are not it seems to me, i wonder if i can....i cant believe i...... Im the best. All you can eat buffet. Come get it. Aka i wish you would

Omg that was fast 😭
Lmao, riot remmebered they hate assassins.
They’re so annoying
My gosh that thumbnail got me katarining all of it
very that
Im literally gooning.
@@basedtortellini aye boss, whats da plan?
i literally loved that gangplank’s mentality. he not only didn’t give up after falling very far behind to the aatrox. he grouped with the team, was always trying to help win in anyway he could despite being almost a liability for half the game.

i wish you would’ve seen his comment to honor him but oh well i’m still very proud of that random players’ maturity.
Would've definitely given him the tilt-proof honor
Words words words
Agree, great sportmanship
Yeah, I was going to comment the same thing. He was very sweet.
yeah im more surprised he wasnt flamed despite his heroic attitude.
ive been that gp more than once and every team, without fail, will be more interested in blaming me all game while doing nothing to win, than just keep on playing.
On the first zed kill did I live because of the level up on minions btw wtf
Yes, the tower shit did 245 you had 200HP after the zed kill but triumph and the lvl up :D
i thought u planned that
@@mewybee I purposely tried to make the tower not kill me and tried to dps fast on minions but I didn't know if i'd level or not. I just attempted it without knowing if it would work
let's be fair here, every time katarina is 1 hp she will live 1 hp, no matter the player
it just works lmao /s
*+I just saw it happen and yes yes you did …. That was sick !
7:53 "Zed seems kinda low tho" he says towards a near full health zed.
That's how you know he used to be a Kat main, missing 50 hp is chunked enough.
That really is just the Pekinwoof drinking game tho, a shot for every time he calls someone above 2/3 hp low or every time he says someone above above 25% hp is 1 hp
Of course when he then goes and oneshots the person at 2/3 hp it's hard to argue that they weren't low.
True assassin
I think he means Zed's max hp compared to aatrox's max hp
2:00 ABSOLUTELY NASTY KILL
Filthy
he's nuts.
that last millisecond level up.... wtf
6 frames. He leveled up 6 frames before the tower shot hit him. Crazy timing, at 60FPS from the video that's 0.1s to spare
When you main kat, you ALWAYS shunpo out and qw minions after the kill if you’re low health. ALOT of your kills happen just like that in lane early game.
21:35 lux ult mention
Nah but I dunno how he didn't smile saying that, like you know he only mentioned it cause we keep calling him out LMAO
So for that first Zed kill, even though it looked like the turret shot had hit you, the animation hadn't finished. So by jumping to the minion, you forced the shot to continue "chasing" you, and by some miracle levelled up before it finally hit you for real.
7:52 Assassin players when they see you took any damage.
Lol, he was literally half hp.
Nerf mages, they're broken. ASsassians are weak.
Thumbnail goes hard
Did... did katarina get hotter? Never seen that pinup of her with the thumbs up?
I can just feel the anger and disgust seeping through the thumbnail
23:33 He did the thing! He compared it to a lux ult!
I'm glad to see someone else share in my hatred of katarina. Remove on-hit scaling and everything is 👌
pekSmile emote when
Petition to add pekSmile
that lvl up was insane. cant believe that you calculated that completely. Insane play by the #1 mid laner
4:40 ah ah he said it he said the win trade
lmao. “one thing that i could maybe do to win trades a little bit harder/ possibly..” is to hold onto the Q.
good ear tho great unintentional play on words lol

That GP spoke real stuff "Idk what to say man, i played fhat bad" be like GP 😂
I don’t condone the use of Yone or Yasuo, but I’m interested to see you play Yasuo, idk why.

BRO THAT OUTPLAY ON ZED WAS SO FUCKING SEXY
PekinWoof, This is perfect! I subscribed right away!
Pekin having the most genuine thumbs up and smile in the thumbnail really brightens my workday
Thankfully Riot is finally giving attention to unpopular struggling mid laners! I was tired of playing against velkoz and ryze every game.
Good job Riot balance team!
still waiting for viego buffs, he's just so weak right now!
Yeah we should totally buff vel‘koz. He only has a 52% wr. Azzap TH-cam shorts really make people think that a champ that can 100-0 anyone dealing 60% true damage with half an item is the weakest champ in the game just because he doesn’t have a dash
@@jahuuuu9625 Yes velkoz is so op and problematic that he hasnt gotten a single nerf since he came out 10 years ago.
@@jahuuuu9625 If he was so op, how come that champion can get gapped by any assassin with a brain?
@@coswagol Where did I say that he's op? He just has clearly defined strength and weaknesses. He isn't op but he definitely isn't weak either
4:38 Pekin is wintrading confirmed
moon riiiiver wider than a mile, i'm crossing you in style somedaaaaaaaaaay
That smiling thumbs-up thumbnail is hilarious.
watching this as a katarina main was an experience forsure!
oh no. pekin's dark side is back!
Ty mister bust for busting it up the midlane.
2:00 That lvl up saved You cos You got bonus 85HP and was left with 55 and if You didn't lvl up and attacked those minions You would have a Draw between You and Zed.
Delay your Q a bit when you do the early game combo EWQEa. If you do the same tempo always, they will figure out tu walk forward to dodge the Q swirl
omg the thumbnail. our little penkin so handsome
riot: behold! my latest creation

The funny thing is that all the kat mains on the katmain sub were crying saying it was a nerf 😂
Kat mains are not known for being the highest iq

Hi Pekin! I hope you have a wonderful remainder of your day and a good nights sleep! I know I sure will because of this video! Thanks!

Lovely thumbnail mr pekin
Few buffs from Riot and Pekinwolf become joker try to smile even wider for preview...Scary
Riot couldn’t let Kat live in the spotlight longer then one patch it seems, looks like they’re fine with buffing Caitlyn again though
I wanted him to say
“I used to main Katarina, back in the day”

Nashors is best with conq rune page
Instead try lich bane when having electrocute
Just a suggestion
Barrier is broken as shit, they need to nerf that asap
I really miss the old AP Zeri days you were a master of that sh!t
Could you do heartsteel rift maker then full AP?
We all have bad games, but watching this Zed player hurts my soul. There is no universe in which he should’ve lost lane like that.
Katarina needed a buff tho tbh
The fact that Zed didn’t completely destroy you is hilarious 😂 that matchup is so insanely Zed favoured
