It felt like irelia had flash every single fight and it gave her free kills every time. Although I'm going to blame the ping on not outplaying (especially with the trap pekin talks about... And also the e to Narnia)
@@NICKONICKONICKONICKONICKO it's a reference to when Pekin was complaining how there is no fan art for this skin to use in thumbnails and the only thing showing up in results was a literal weird Stuart Little render as twitch
I do think they need to add mana to a few more items. Doesn't necessarily need to be out of lost chapter, but atm theres pretty much just 3 items to start with so it's like the mythic system never went away because itemization revolves around those items now on mages at leasst
oh that movementspeed fact is pretty sad because i remember it was possible back a long time ago with Nami E to slow so they have 0 movementspeed. I went full AP on Nami and had like 1600 AP (good old items...) and it slowed champions so much they just stood still.
AP twitch back in the early days was one of my favorite builds. I used to rush Malady in the bot lane and as soon as I had it would run mid and kill the enemy mid laner. I long for simpler times like that again
25:56 Passive counts as an ability in lol (think of Brand P proccing Liandry's), but only if it does damage that's considered ability damage. Generally, spell damage, area damage and DoT damage are considered ability damage, but rare exceptions exist both ways with that. And sadly, even if it's DoT from an ability, Twitch's P is set to do default damage for some reason. So, it _should_ work, but is set *_not_* to. Edit: And on further thought, it's even weirder as it's default damage, but works like DoT damage anyway, like for example not interrupting sleep like seen in this vid.
And yeah, new HFocus doesn't work on Twitch. Only the cask procs it and only upon landing, if it works like other abilities like that, though Twitch's kit is such spaghetti code that I can't really say anything for sure.
Day 39 of asking Pekin to play either Jayce or Viktor in the midlane, since he hasn’t made a vid on both in a while (The holy trinity of Bekins fav midlaners: AP Twitch, One shot TF, and Briar Mid)
@@jemsnjulz4442 yeah, On stream when asked if he will add Hwei to his champ pool it was a "probably not he is different from most champs I play" but it could of changed
just wanna be clear but you dont need to do magic damage to proc liandry - you need to do /ability damage./ Thats why liandry ashe for example, is able to exist. It procs off of Ashe W, because Ashe W is considered "ability" type damage.
Anything that increases damage (like rift maker, horizon focus, executioner mastery, etc.) doesn't increase true damage btw. Shadow flame is unique in that it is the only item that changes the value of true damage, but horizon focus's passive is useless for twitch dot
Generally you would correct that true damage cannot be modified in most cases. However, unless specifically changed for the upcoming season, both horizon focus and riftmaker both amplify true damage. According to the wiki: duskblade, horizon focus, evenshroud and navori apply their corresponding amp to true damage. Riftmaker is not considered an exception as it's bonus damage is not a damage modifier, but a separate damage instance based on pre-mitigation damage dealt.
i almost think that stormsurge and ludens companion would have been better. The extra 50-100 true dmg lategame below 35% isnt really all that useful is it?
42:40 It did 310 instead of 256 thats only 54 extra damage per second at fullbuild and fullstacks. Its still good probably last item but i would go stormsurge and ludens companion over Horizon Focus Riftmaker any day
Highly recommend doing this as a support too. Some people go the support item that works like crown of the shattered queen, but i would try bloodsong. Makes the burst even better
Really interesting commentary on new AP Twitch. I'm already an OTP, I play both AP and AD. But the new Shadowflame seems really interesting. Also with the removal of Crown, I think Seraph's could be a good item. I will experiment with Malignance, there might niche cases where it's good. Unfortunately I think Shadowflame will be nerfed within a patch or two, so I'm going to grind ranked as soon as the season starts
That's what i was thinking. He was talking about mana issues early and then getting popped late by Eve's e-r. Wonder what the issue with that item is? Edit: Nvm i got to then end lmao.
They give Twitch the AP scalings but refused to let his passive work with anything. Makes no sense when Brand passive still procs anything that has "ability damage" not just magic damage.
Eveyln hit Pekin with 2 abilities. Pekins dies, but Pekin hit Evelyn with one ability before he died.. a slow and one shot from ult.. and it killed also killed Evelyn
The most insane play wouldve been to suddenly sell all items lategame for full AD build (ik you have no Lethal tempo but i feel like it would be worth)
Every mage item should give mana, it's a given for mage champs, all it does is breach the gap further for champs that don't need mana... So Katarina again can build whatever. Akali also, and champs like galio with barely any mana issues are fine, then champs that need mana are just auffering
I have watched your videos since your LeBlanc days. Thank you for your life choices. I give you all of my TH-cam Premium view time while I sleep as my form of sub/don. I appreciate you.
Tank meta is back? It isnt yet. Bruiser meta is back. Tanks still feel terrible to play. Tanks really shohld be about 5 times tankier, but deal 10 times less damage
@@PekinWoof you know what, technically his literally shooting arrows and piercing people so I think I was just tripping, and I didn't even know the name of the passive but I looked it up and was proven wrong my fault.
Hope the change that crits start from 60%HP instead of 35%, but instead something like like: 60% HP = 10%crit DMG / 40% HP = 20%crit DMG / 20% HP = 30%crit DMG, that would be cool
42:37 watching that Eve slowly melting from 1600 true damage was satisfying
41:12 classic irelia move: build 4 mr items, then dive a physical damage champ under both nexus turrets and still nearly kill them without hitting e
just irelia things
cheater champion moment
It felt like irelia had flash every single fight and it gave her free kills every time. Although I'm going to blame the ping on not outplaying (especially with the trap pekin talks about... And also the e to Narnia)
"Just cc her"
It's been a while since we had Stuart Little midlane gameplay. Can't wait for high elo content with him soon.
Stuart Middle?
pekin releases gameplay a lot? do you mean twitch?
@@NICKONICKONICKONICKONICKO it's a reference to when Pekin was complaining how there is no fan art for this skin to use in thumbnails and the only thing showing up in results was a literal weird Stuart Little render as twitch
At the end you were looking at true damage dealt in general, like minion, monster and champs. true damage to champs is the 4th sub options down.
I do think they need to add mana to a few more items. Doesn't necessarily need to be out of lost chapter, but atm theres pretty much just 3 items to start with so it's like the mythic system never went away because itemization revolves around those items now on mages at leasst

Yeah thats why I cant build liandry on twitch which is kinda sad
But liandrys is only triggered by magic damage so even if it was not set to be default and instead dot damage it wouldn’t trigger it.
@@alexandramuller9055 Isn't it just _ability_ damage? Ability damage doesn't have to deal magic damage.

no, he loves hwei
@@ratlinggull2223no hwei man
@@ratlinggull2223 maybe I'm wrong but the vibe I get with hwei is that he's mostly just playing him because he's new

Seeing the shadowflame tick is crazy. Should try a Brand mid game and see if the Liandry's interaction is still broken as heck

Hi commentary. Welcome to the next everybody 🙂

Hey Pekin, love your stuff. I was wondering what you thought of ap varus with stormsurge?
Beekin of Wolves forced to use the same shadowfoot Twitch thumbnail. otherwise he has to use... (the other one).
Riftmaker was so much more useful than the Horizon Focus. Thanks for the vid!
Can you try qiyana? Feels like the new map nerfed her like crazy
thats good

whats better ap or ad twitch ?
Wait. Is the preseason stuff back on pbe or is this an old recording?
its on pbe for past week and will continue to be
I don't think Horizon Focus was procing most of the time
“She could easily dominate my bot side, but that’s ok.” - Pekin 2023
i would think tear would work for shield as defense and solves mana issues at least mostly
That's what i was thinking. He was talking about mana issues early and then getting popped late by Eve's e-r. Wonder what the issue with that item is?
Edit: Nvm i got to then end lmao.
They give Twitch the AP scalings but refused to let his passive work with anything. Makes no sense when Brand passive still procs anything that has "ability damage" not just magic damage.
42:40 LMFAO
Is the new shadow flame out?
"Irelia can easily dominate my bottom side, but that's okay."
Same, Pekin. Same.
Thanks for doing this!
Freshest vid I’ve ever watched
49:26 you were looking at true damage dealt, not true damage dealt to champions lol. That's the jungler item's damage that you see on fiddle.
Peking you are wrong about Liandry's. It no longer works just with magic damage. Read the description again it says "dealing damage with abilities"
twitch poison doesnt count as ability dmg, its coded as on hit damage over time
I meant it doesn't work with Twitch Passive, sorry for misexplaination
@@PekinWoof does his ult count? I know they're coded as projectiles and not regular auto attacks
I think i wold switch horizon for cosmic drive at the end
Why did this game go on so long ! Is the new map / meta now longer games ?
PBE games normally go on for a long time. It’s just how those games tend to go
i think archangels still gives a shield? so that might be an option
you could also just get zonyas
love ur content pekin but would u please upload more zoe content i love watching u playing zoe
HF always seems like such a bad buy man. Should have got Rift earlier then sold boots for Cosmic Drive.
Why no antyheal whole game?
Eveyln hit Pekin with 2 abilities. Pekins dies, but Pekin hit Evelyn with one ability before he died.. a slow and one shot from ult.. and it killed also killed Evelyn
Min 26:41 goes for the Wood division videos lol
why is there a blue orb on the minion around 13:55
Thats a zoe bubble, if zoe kills that minion it will drop some kind of summoner/item ability for her to pick up
@marshallsouthern3838 ooooh, thanks for clarifying that, I rarely have Zoe on my games so I didn't know it showed for teammates.
Wonder why they didn't just port Infinity Orb from Wild Rift instead of reworking the whole item.
horizon felt bad
The most insane play wouldve been to suddenly sell all items lategame for full AD build (ik you have no Lethal tempo but i feel like it would be worth)
I see Rito balance is still absolutely terrible. Why do they insist on having tanks be significantly stronger than dps?
“What other items do we can have to build?”
Stream tonight?
I think best boots sell is runaans. Just so you can stack on more people
Am I trippin' or is every game on PBE very long ?
Why do you refuse to use flash when it would safe your life and win you the teamfight.
Probably for the same reason that people like you don't proof-read your messages.

yayy new video
Wth !?!! I never realised its 49 minutes video
horizon didn't seem like it was doing anything for twitch. maybe, keep riftmaker and lose that.
pecan decorate !1!!!!1
the fact that he just ignores the infernal cinders makes me mad. My ADHD demands I pick up every single one.
There’s no way they’re not gonna nerf this right
u should have not gone for horizons if any of the items imo, not a fan of the new one.
so am i overreacting or does this seem just too ridiculously strong.... to the point of perma ban every game?
Pekin says Irelia can pull off plays that seem unfair. I say broken and overloaded.
twitch main here, ghost is 100% better
Next Cassiopeia!
Got here at 3min but there was still 100 views how do y’all get here so fast.
Porkin Hoot
fish
pekin gonna get ap twitch nerfed again after riot sees this lol.
bro i just did this and lost the same way i did 61k dmg and was my whole team i die and lost
as an irelia main, i can't wait for the upcoming season. she hasn't had a proper mythic to build since IS was removed as a mythic
Early today. Nice!
irelia wholesome champion
