They way you can keep track of all the people in the team fights while ulting,sleeping,Qing, gathering summoners, etc. is just amazing. It's like you are Zoe clones in 10 places at once, all over the fight!
One of the tricks to Comet Naafiri in lane is that after landing Qs, use E to heal and return your dogs to you before they get killed off by the enemy laner. Your dogs make up a lot of your damage so you really want to keep them alive if you can. And then of course, landing more Qs respawns dogs quicker if they do end up dying. But this way you retain pretty high poke damage throughout the laning phase, although you may run out of mana early on. Also, I find that Eclipse first (with Sudden Impact) feels really good.
I was in this stream yesterday, such a huge comeback, to everyone that has not come to the live streams give it a try, full of good vibes in chat and with mr Pekin
Honestly it’s never not funny watching people flame Pekin like he didn’t end challenger on at least 1 acc for like a decade or something lmao pekin’s challenger league career can almost go to middle school and they still think he’s bad 🗿
The only thing i really don't like about Naafiri is an extremely slow windup on her Q. I don't even mind the projectile speed itself. The rest of her kit is very simple, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Thanks for the Naafiri gameplay. I've been considering trying her, and it is very good to understand that the early game consists mainly of getting shat upon. Like Kayle back right after the rework. 1:01:30 Okay. Something is definitely wrong with you if you think stuffed crust from a pizza is disgusting. That shite is amazing and I have cut it off of my leftover pizza to eat the crust by itself and then eat in the rest of the pizza later. Now, I'll forgive ya since you kinda main Zoe, but this is a one time deal.
What makes Naafiri feel bad? You don't really win lane as her because her kill pressure only happens at level 6 (spamming Qs at your opponent requires insane aim and also you can't even Q in certain matchups because they have too much range) so she kinda takes it up the booty in almost every matchup. Her best matchups are the ones where she can just survive til 6 and also she's an "assassin" from 2023 with no stealth or long-range directional dashes or strong outplay potential. Also Naafiri has too much counterplay (you can bodyblock her W for some reason??) Basically you wouldn't pick Naafiri when you can pick Akali instead.
Sorry if this is a stupid question, Pekin, but why not minion Demat for Naafiri? Clearing those waves looked like pain. And even with Max Q + an item, your double Q still wasn't clearing the backline. I've been playing Naafiri myself and personally, I've been using minion demat on the ranged minions and it allows my double Q to one shot them. Also for 'Why does Naafiri feel bad?', I think its the fact that her main source of damage is a skill shot that requires a double hit. That's really clunky compared to the vast majority of assassins. Like, its so important that if you don't hit Q2, you basically lose the kill. Also the fact that she's a comet user is also very bizarre. I'm not really familiar with any other assassin that runs comet. Although personally, I still prefer Electrocute.
Start of this video was hard to watch, Naafiri's ult is not one of those that you hold off on using until you can try to kill people. It's to actively let you do trades and ultimately close out kills eventually. Cause the whole point of Naafiri is her dogs, so watching them just not be defended and kept from being killed was painful. Her E recalling the dogs back is also meant to tell you how you're supposed to trade with her. Q1 -> Q2 -> E away and you keep your doggos alive, or you can do Q1 -> E -> Q2 to get more damage in, sacking the doggos most likely in the process. And then the ult lets you respawn ALL dogs and adds more for a proper all-in. And with the all-in you get shielding now on the first hit (usually with W). I love Pekin, however this was definitely a rough early game to watch. Saying the champ is bad while not understanding them is really poor taste.
I agree my understanding of Naafiri is bad, but even NA's best Naafiri (Quantum) says she is trash too. She just has a terrible kit design for High Elo gaming.
I don’t get why they made a dog champ (doggers!😮) designed around a skill shot. It’s so boring, she should be designed around getting close and tearing something to shreds
“Why is Naafiri so dogshit at pushing?” Probably cause they nerfed her Q damage to minions 2 or 3 times when she first came out because her waveclear was considered too good
It really feels like she should have some omnivamp built into her kit. She is a Darkin after all, might as well make her more similar to Rhaast and Aatrox.
omg, it is 23th jan, how many s13 Zoe games you have in your pocket? :D Honestly, would really like to see more Qiyana games. U have kinda inspired me to finally touch her, but i haven't found any good commentary Qiyana mains sadly, and me myself is kinda shit on her. like 44 games 38% wr 11 lose streak and 10 deaths per game on average shit x)
I tried Naafiri and couldn't make sense of her gameplay. I started strong poking Hwei and keeping him low but could never finish. Later when I had a few items I could get a few picks if I had ult but by end game the only person I could kill 1v1 was a fed Garen... I don't understand how but it happened. Certainly fun to learn but rito did not improve in their designs. With how much mobility every champ has now and the best you get from Naafiri is a scaling range W point'n'click dash and a no range E for mobility she lacks escape. Q range is laughable with no utility in kit if you fall behind. At least with Talon or Akali you can dash out if you fail to kill or poke and outplay with their ranged abilities. Naafiri just feels broken when it's get fed or be useless till you have a bunch of low HP enemies to clean up after a teamfight.
Naafiri yeah the ability's long CDs feel bad. My thought is to get ride of the second cast and make her E trigger the crit if you land it, that way you have to commit to hitting them in order to get the damage off instead of saving it for repositioning or escape, or at least choose between burst or escape. Her W cast time also feels bad, Zed and Kat can go that distance in a blink and have resets/Cooldown charges depending on certain scenarios. I like her but, the loss of Draktharr really just killed her build. Maybe have to build her as a bruiser now? idk. Feels weird.
That Neeko clone interaction is annoying, i wonder if it can proc positively for you though too? Thinking first strike gold or like chogath ultimate stacks
I really want to play her but she feels so clunky. The requirement to hit Q-Q in close range makes it so that if you miss, you are completely useless. Her E feels like it has zero impact at all. Not even for clearing caster minions on level 6+
Maybe if they give her q an auto reset and ammo, or your attack procs the 2nd hit passive on your q so that you can q attack q attack it'd give her more to do from the start, and assassin types are more or less like, if you fail to kill from the initial all in, you're all out. maybe also put passive movement speed on her e but remove her e's dash and her ult's MS? Maybe something unique on her passive like her dogs are untargetable and add to her ability damage, but they don't autoattack, and if Naafiri is auto'd, a dog dies and reduces incoming damage, sorta like Bone Plating?
I've been thinking about learning Naafiri cause I main mid but I basically only play AP champs. This video was... interesting, on that front. She do seem fun
Honestly, Naafiri is probably one of the easiest assassins for a mage player to transition to. All of her actual damage is from landing double Q on people. Basically a skill shot nuke.
I feel like Naafiri has the worst champ design they've come out with in a while. W, E, and R all make sense to some extent, but then they must have said, "wait, this champ can't lane!" and added a stupid line skillshot nuke that ended up being the sole damage dealing ability for the champ. Hit both and you're a god, hit one or none and you're giga-useless, but it doesn't matter because neither option is fun to play.
that's why you have E, during early game Naafiri is supose to land Q insta reposition herself with E (heal dogs) and Q them again. Naafiri is super strong right now
Nearly all of her power is already in her Q. Double Q is like 80% of her actual damage lol. If you dont land a double Q hit on someone, you're not killing them.
She's weak because riot kept nerfing her because whiners kept whining she was op. When they just didn't know how to play vs her. Now riot keeps her weak because people don't want to learn to dodge q

Is that a Lethal Company reference?
@@shanefoster2132 Yeah

I am now too invested in the story of Employee 63139... Did he made it home to Kate and little Matilda? Did he die? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED
Same, WE NEED TO KNOW.
babe wake up, new Employee 63139 lore just dropped
He died, Sigmund didnt make it, no one finished the contract.
Trick2G saying this clip is gonna make him rich and he's paying rent is the cherry on top.

38:59 HERO PLAY!! flippin play of the game!!!
The ending of this Naafiri game is why I love league
He is indeed the hero
Pekin got all the way to level 2 ult without clicking it.

He did it! He pet the dog! Naafiri gaming is my favorite
THE HYPERFIXATING WORKED!! I AM THE CATALYST
How can a game that sees the death of so many poor doggos be your favorite? You disgust me.
that ending was hype
Sorry if this is a stupid question, Pekin, but why not minion Demat for Naafiri?

Saving ult for next game :D
Actually I was saving it for you Lukszu. Time to meet your end.
AWOOOO!

NAAFIRI GAMING NEVER GIVE UP !1!!!!1!
I just watched Cookiemanman's video on this game and I had to come here ahah
Old map already looking weird on me
don't make sense that naafiri dogs are easier to kill then shaco box, might be as easy as zyra plants to kill
the problem is they hardcounter entire champions like ezreal or morgana or are just free healing for irelia
20:24 he jumpscared himself xD
As Naafiri main I can confirm, this is peak Dog gameplay 👍. Yet I will continue to pick her in every game forever.
I find it funny that mages that have a knack for getting in your face are broken. Gwen, Diana, Liliana, and I missing anyone else?
That was Trick2G toplane ! the best to ever do it
I don’t get why they made a dog champ (doggers!😮) designed around a skill shot. It’s so boring, she should be designed around getting close and tearing something to shreds
I disagree with you it is not boring
“Why is Naafiri so dogshit at pushing?”
Probably cause they nerfed her Q damage to minions 2 or 3 times when she first came out because her waveclear was considered too good
51:30 wow thats pretty cool that neeko can do that, move her clone around even while cc'd
Loving the lore in the descriptions 😂
much love
got that dawg in you
i hate this naafiri slander :(
Imo naafiri feels bad as hell without the healing she got from ravenous hydra. Just feels awful.
It really feels like she should have some omnivamp built into her kit. She is a Darkin after all, might as well make her more similar to Rhaast and Aatrox.
HOLY SHIT IT WORKED I hope the person who asked me to hyperfixate on naafiri next is happy ♥
pekin: *complains about naafiri's cooldowns*
also pekin: *does not finish cdr boots for the entire game*
that first game was one of the nuttier things I've seen lol
omg, it is 23th jan, how many s13 Zoe games you have in your pocket? :D
Honestly, would really like to see more Qiyana games. U have kinda inspired me to finally touch her, but i haven't found any good commentary Qiyana mains sadly, and me myself is kinda shit on her. like 44 games 38% wr 11 lose streak and 10 deaths per game on average shit x)

I love how chat is just talking about hsr
Acheron drip marketing just dropped, we had to 💁♂
For me the worst part of her kit is her E, it feels really bad
Gotta hit your Q-Qs just like zed has to hit his EQ
Naafiri yeah the ability's long CDs feel bad. My thought is to get ride of the second cast and make her E trigger the crit if you land it, that way you have to commit to hitting them in order to get the damage off instead of saving it for repositioning or escape, or at least choose between burst or escape.

Istg Pekin doesn't like a champion unless it can one shot smh
That Neeko clone interaction is annoying, i wonder if it can proc positively for you though too? Thinking first strike gold or like chogath ultimate stacks
From zero to hero 💪
Pekin was always the hero
love the videos
Protip, those Red Baron French Bread pizza's are fucking delicious.
yayy new video

it'd give her more to do from the start, and assassin types are more or less like, if you fail to kill from the initial all in, you're all out.
maybe also put passive movement speed on her e but remove her e's dash and her ult's MS?
Maybe something unique on her passive like her dogs are untargetable and add to her ability damage, but they don't autoattack, and if Naafiri is auto'd, a dog dies and reduces incoming damage, sorta like Bone Plating?
Man i fuckin love trick hes such a silly guy lmao
I've been thinking about learning Naafiri cause I main mid but I basically only play AP champs. This video was... interesting, on that front. She do seem fun

1:00:20 that should've been a penta, I don't know why neeko didn't count, it wasn't that far from tristana kill

Yeah, the Double Q being all of her actual damage is really annoying.
I disagree with you
@@marquisepixley684 well you've clearly put a lot of thought into it so...
I feel like Naafiri would feel way better if they just increased the health of her dogs so they didn't instantly die every time you use q
that's why you have E, during early game Naafiri is supose to land Q insta reposition herself with E (heal dogs) and Q them again. Naafiri is super strong right now
God forbid an assassin have a weak laning phase, the dogs are already way too tanky after level 6 anyways.
They can fix Naafiri by letting you control the dogs as separate units
Naafiri Gaming
what is this description? Pekin ARG?
Edit: first game was tragedy comedy and triumph all at once
They should shift power away from her dogs to her q especially early. But she scales so hard with her r's ad
Nearly all of her power is already in her Q. Double Q is like 80% of her actual damage lol. If you dont land a double Q hit on someone, you're not killing them.
i was there
The problem with Naafiri is because we can't control the little doggos like Lycan can in Dota.
She's weak because riot kept nerfing her because whiners kept whining she was op. When they just didn't know how to play vs her. Now riot keeps her weak because people don't want to learn to dodge q
Pekin, use your ult man.
The Zoe video bait. I love Pekin vids. I hate Zoe gameplay. Great first vid.
LETHALITY URGOT MID
