Unironically imo Gragas is the one of the best designs in the game. Simple kit but all his abilities can interact together, or standalone with a really high skill cap. He looks like shit but definitely belongs in the game, my fav champ by far
Pekin I love you. You're extremely informative and positive. You always own your mistakes and never put your teammates down. I don't even play this game but damn you're really good at it
How do yall feel about Ionian boots on asol? Most of the damage seems to come from the %health on the Q, and spamming E a lot more helps with stardust collection i suppose.
unnecessary after like 13-15 mins you start getting infinite stardust anyways don’t worry too much about maximizing it early game just like nasus/veigar take what you can early get infinite mid game.
In costantly making 6 items minute 34, shoes are only to survive early matchups or fights. by the time you get 300-350 Stardust if your team isn't inting on purpose you have 6 items. Beware of envious ppl tho, im starting to see lots of them nowadays, they may want to drag you down once they see you have 2x items and they int
The %health damage on Q isn't true damage and the cooldown is basically 0 late game so I don't think there is ever a reason to go Ionian boots. Just go sorcerer boots or if they only have one damage type go mercury/tabis
Can you please show in next video how u make the setting to indicate the duration of crowd control over characters? Like the bar that shows up when you are stunned?
Day 167 of reminding Pekin before next April Fools to do both the “League streamer tucks you into bed ASMR” and the “Challenger player shows you how to cook frozen salmon”
I've found out some time ago same thing. I additionally kinda main aphelios on bot, so Im laughing that i play only Targon champions. So Zoe, asol, aphelios xd
Curious as to why you chose a more lane oriented rune build when you usually just want to scale as fast as you can in most matchups and this one seems to be on the worse end
The rune page is the one that the current best asol world uses into every matchuo and team comp no matter what and achieved a 70% winrate over almost 100 games with
The other slots from Sorcery tree are very good, Asol can refresh Comet very quickly and the early/mid game rune smooths Asol power, makes it more stable to go into late game.
And also first strike seems good but asol is dog fucking shit at farming gold with it early. Sure you get a couple ticks on E, that does what? Heals the enemy early? And tel me someone’s going to let you proc first strike AND charge a Q to any sort of degree that makes first strike worth it.
@@flowbie-1336Yes but the current best asol in the world may have a completely different play style than Pekin and be more lane dominant whereas he is more content to farm it up. Blindly copying runes without thinking about how -you- play the game isn't going to net you much gain. Just because the best person in the world does it, you aren't the best person in the world and possibly don't play like them.
I'm probably misreading your map movement, but it feels like you're playing ASol more like a Viktor instead of as a Ryze (as ASol is probably best sidelaning/skirmishing/flanking rather than going full front-2-back)
@@defrte : Yeah but he also never really used mana on Gragas in poking. If it was a more harass oriented lane I wonder if he would have mana issues then.
I hate how Asol E goes on cd when it ends, but you can't recast to end it early :/ it makes CDR feel so bad for him, even though his ult needs it desperately.
I think if you would've bought anti heal item, I think it would be much easier to kill xin and gragas tbh instead of magic pen. Cause Asol has much more aoe than xerath, and you don't need that much damage cause there's already Camille and Jhin.
It allows you to kill minions faster early on, especially cannon and melee minions. So yes it does help a lot with getting more stacks more easily early on.
He say that I'm good enough, grabbin' my duh-duh-duh Thinkin' 'bout shit that I shouldn't have (huh) So I tell him there's one of me, he makin' fun of me (ha-ha) His girl is a bum to me (grrah) Like that boy is a cap, sayin' he home but I know where he at, like Bet he blowin' her back Thinkin' 'bout me 'cause he know that ass fat (damn) And it been what it been (uh, huh) Callin' his phone like, "Yo, send me your PIN" Duckin' my shit, 'cause he know what I'm on (grrah) But when he hit me I'm not gon' respond (grrah) But I don't sleep enough without you And I can't eat enough without you (huh) If you don't speak, does that mean we're through? (Huh) Don't like sneaky shit that you do (grrah)
A thing that I noticed about your play that I dont know if it's a missplay. At 32:38 you didnt wait for E to maximize stardust collection. It's not the only spot you did this and I wonder if over the entire game the missed stardust might be occasionally game changing? More empowered ults and bigger spells is pretty OP. Since your goal is to climb, I figured I might as well point this out, in the off chance you read this comment
It is good to upload losses... but to basically clickbait them as though they are a win is stupid. "I'm climbing" implies that you win the game and we're going to watch good technique. Instead we get to watch a 4v5 game where none of your team plays well and you lose. I'm normally not one to care about titles, but this one, especially, bothers me.
The title specifically says "this is how I play him", not "This is how I carry games" or something. The outtake is if you play consistently, even weak side, you will climb, no one wins 100% of games.
Video doesnt clickbait as a win, climbing implies they are attempting to do it, I am attempting to get to challenger on my 2nd acct not I am winning all my games to get to challenger
I'm not a fan of the new aurelion sol gameplay, it's pretty boring and linear imo. Nothing to do with the way you play, I just think the potential of his thematic massively outweighs the underwhelming rework
I mean maybe for you, but for a lot of us were really enjoying it, im personally feeling the objective was nailed going for the flying fire breathing dragon fantasy in game. Sorry to hear it wasnt the same to you
@@flowbie-1336 I don't think that passive aggressive, slightly condecending response was necesarry at all. Yes, I do feel differently, thank you for pointing that out. I don't feel remotely different about it after you summarised his thematic either. To me, he isn't a fire breathing dragon, he's a cosmological titan that *used* to weild literal stars to deal damage, however underwhelming they were to use, the aesthetic was on point. Now it seems his design has reversed where his practical capability heavily outweighs his aesthetic. He's much more a linear, fire breathing dragon that repeats the exact same combo with little to no variation in skill expression, but has very high numbers and his cosmological titan aesthetic has been simplified into fire breathing space dragon.
Wow gragas and ASol don't even look like they're from the same game
Honestly zeri and new asol feels so different from the rest even compared to aphelios
Gameplay wise asol looks like minecraft creative mode with his w. Its actually kinda crazy to see how fast he crosses the map
I mean one is god and the other is a blue lizard, of course they are different

Absolutely love this, this is the kinda educational content I'm looking for thanks Pekin looking forward to more!
That Camille could have said, "Fair," because it was a 1 for 3 trade and she was being facetious.
I like how you explain things in your videos.
I'm not playing league anymore so Aurelion is like a new champion i never played, this helps.
Thats somehow the best title - description combo ive seen in a while lol
Isn't it almost April? Doesn't someone here want some kind of ASMR video from you lol
Thanks for the videos Pekin! :)

Hi pekin, can you try out leblanc buffs in the PBE? Seems kinda cool the resets of the Q
Or just more LeBlanc in general. I'm picking her up after hearing Pekin used to main her
26:57 If your Q is max level, press Q and HOLD it than your E and R will not to interrupt Q.
Seeing pekin main zoe, aurelion and veigar, i think he really like space mages
I've found out some time ago same thing. I additionally kinda main aphelios on bot, so Im laughing that i play only Targon champions. So Zoe, asol, aphelios xd
WaitingForStream
9:56 pretty sure it wasn’t a tactical lane swap, ezreal was just tilted and went mid and gragas was forced bot
That adc has been flaming jg every game I've seen him in pekins vids xD

noob question but how does pekin see where his abilities range is but have quick cast on>?
How do you feel about the Leblanc buff? (q reset and mana refound) I hope you do a vid on her soon!
9:09 : Xayah? Senna you mean?
The armor and magic pen was slow in coming out, couldn't deal with the front line at all.
The enemy team Ezreal is so annoying lol
Typing in ALL chat all game
Not just typing, complaining...then "GGGGGGGGGG EASIEST ROLE IN THE GAME" when his team won for him.
Question. Does Xin's Ultimate cancel Asol's ultimate or does it still stun him? It's an honest question, please don't flame me. I just want to know.
Doesnt cancel hes ult but if Asol is inside hes ult circle it still damages him
@@Thevolcomification Thank you
11:07 i think she meant fair trade
I'm seeing a lot of gragas mid, will you be doing a vid on him?
I'm probably misreading your map movement, but it feels like you're playing ASol more like a Viktor instead of as a Ryze (as ASol is probably best sidelaning/skirmishing/flanking rather than going full front-2-back)
How rare is that the tilted one is the ADC?
Asol tru god of the league of legends universe he literally died for the sins of that Xerath
Do you not feel like you have mana issues without Tear or Lost Chapter?
Also, what do you use the d-mat on? One for each or something else?
you usually want to use them all on casters so you can one shot with e/e+q earier
He never once based for MP, esp when he has TP topping him off indirectly
@@defrte : Yeah but he also never really used mana on Gragas in poking. If it was a more harass oriented lane I wonder if he would have mana issues then.
I audibly gasped when that baron was 42 HP and Jhin died
I hate how Asol E goes on cd when it ends, but you can't recast to end it early :/ it makes CDR feel so bad for him, even though his ult needs it desperately.
Fun fact, as far as I know, asol E does NOT execute baron and drakes...
you are correct it does not execute dragon, baron or herald.
It doesn't but it gives you stardust whenever they die
@@wasabilover1293 Yeah, I just mentioned it because Pekin spoke about his e running out before he could execute drake.
At 12:14 I would've flown to the other direction
I’ve still not played a single normal league game yet I’m addicted to pekin
Asol E execute doesn't work on epic monsters lol
I think if you would've bought anti heal item, I think it would be much easier to kill xin and gragas tbh instead of magic pen. Cause Asol has much more aoe than xerath, and you don't need that much damage cause there's already Camille and Jhin.
Why doesnt he like seraphs on sol?
18:41 - how babies are made
You should try liandy build
is demat good to farm stardust faster from minions?
It allows you to kill minions faster early on, especially cannon and melee minions. So yes it does help a lot with getting more stacks more easily early on.

you had the better draft but they had better team fight/positioning, despite you landing some prime ults. gg

Don't let this distract you from the fact that anivia w can knock sol out of flight.

Nice baron bro.

easiest 2023 baron, ezreal didn't have a chance
The xerath threw with that pick instead of a good peel support for u and jhin 😪
yeah, it felt like they were so far ahead, and then Xin just got to dominate fights with his ultimate against Asol/Jhin/Xerath
Nah you should of went void earlier.
