I'm a bard main, I played Bard in one of your master games when you were Orianna adc. Bard is an incredibly OP champion, in order to beat any champion all you have to do is get their HP to reach 0 before yours does. It works every time.

[@jacobmiesner2616]

never played bard before and honestly, i had no idea. thats such an OP strat, he might need heavy nerfs

[@Maxhoppel]

would you agree that full ap bard has a higher win rate instead of on hit bard?

[@andrestamayo7812]

I don't understand, does it need to be 0 before or after mine gets to 0. If his is 0, can he get me to 0 too? I'm not good at math

[@theangler1922]

@@Maxhoppel I play support, I wouldn't suggest taking Bard mid with either build.

[@alibean101]

Thats pretty big brain ngl imma try this with every champion

Bard gets buffed and Pekin immediately puts out an hour and a half video of AP bard mid in like GM lobbies. Idk what thoughts are goin through his head but I need them to stay there.

Kindred: If we get Zed bounty ez win Pekin: Casually walks into jungle, finds Zed, and solo kills That is some next level "Your wish is my command," I love it

[@alexandrubragari1537]

Down 2 items btw xd

[@maxydey42]

Bard Q is kinda like Lux laser, except it does way less damage and stuns

[@shiah]

I mean, Bard R is also like a Lux laser, except the AoE is circular and it puts the enemies into stasis instead of doing dmg. But yeah, similar charge time and all.

[@almazingsk8er]

What a nail biter of a first game. Your team played that so well, what a well deserved win.

[@monster-trunks]

First game was absolutely insane, great team everyone kept their cool. Not even a surrender vote after being down 11k gold.

[@dhumphreys]

The Kindred not only recognized the win con of getting the Zed shutdown, they didn't rage or even ping when the Bard that was behind got the big shutdown instead of one of the main carries.

[@CUBErt_]

THREE games? Oh you SPOIL us pekin

[@skyrim63961]

Incredibly well played! I love seeing you have fun, it makes your content even better!

[@Neltrix2000]

Hey pekin any chance you can post that game with lourlo in the second channel where the nunu kept taking all the shutdowns and y’all were laughing so much but it ended in a loss? That was soo good

[@tsb2011]

I saw someone asking about this in discord. Yes plz

[@PekinWoof]

I have no idea when the game was, must of been months ago. Might not even exist anymore

[@rockzilla5098]

That zed at the 26 minute mark was insane lol. And that 3 man baron disruption at 2830 was godly. That jax went out like a true king.

[@michealbender7438]

Ngl the Zed game one was kinda crazy, he had perfect cs all game and did a really good job pressing side lanes. I hate the champ with a passion but he was cracked and I respect it.

[@ruatahmar5987]

Hey pekin, one thing you could try is statik shiv first item on bard mid. Even post nerf, its still great on bard cause statik plus meeps oneshots waves and you get more time to roam and collect chimes. Mid-late game plays a bit like the old rapidfire deadmans plate bard that was popular before mythics were introduced.

[@mercyeather7954]

This was practically a Bard Mid Movie I love it pekinpekw

[@SaintSoba]

Hey, just when I was looking for a Pekin video, truly a blessing

[@Shxrpnesss]

your ulti at 20:16 was amazing. stunning the udyr, but not the baron. surprised you guys didn’t get that

[@DustinHarms]

I'm so happy with the Bard love....I feel like he's a really underappreciated champ, with only a few people really playing him to his potential. I know it's a weird mid pick but I'd be pretty stoked to see it again some time. Hopefully the buffs stick. Great games, thanks

[@basedtortellini]

Every time i go to bed, i see pekin uploaded 10 minutes ago and i know i can rest easy

[@jjwebster4587]

1 hour video. LETS GOOO. I can never get enough pekin content. Thanks for blessing us

[@NB-vf5bm]

Great bard game, love that late game bard hits like a truck once you’ve got enough chimes 😂

[@brumilton]

that first game was insane, loved it

[@chelsi1992]

wow Pekin. Great video. Keep it up. You are the best League player. You def don't int sometimes.

[@flexo5895]

for bard i highly recommend shiv 1st item it helps u a lot to get prio which is huge. with ludens shiv and passive u have to aa a wave once and u r gone which enables you to collect more chimes which is harder for bard mid than supp

[@omochowo]

finally pekin of wolves uploaded another chime minister mid game. thank you pekpekpack leader, for i can rest easy now PS: try kraken on him, you can do 1 auto and then 8 more and the dmg is insane. but in all honesty its actually p good bc of the ap items kraken scales alongside them and your akt spd/ wave clear gets just that bit easier

[@jhonedwardmoramora4672]

Did Pekin get First Blood? Game 1: Nope First Blood was by ally Swain around the 2:47 mark. Game 2: Nope First Blood was by ally Yasuo around the 41:15 mark. Game 3: Nope First Blood was by ally Riven around the 1:09:36 mark. Pekin's First Bloods: 9 Allies' First Bloods: 21 Enemies' First Bloods: 32 Win streak: 0 Lose streak: 4 Highest win streak: 2 Highest lose streak: 13 Total games registered: 62

[@heroweasel790]

FYI Bard Meep ratio is 30%, Lich Bane 50%, Nashors 20% means if you have all 3 you do 100% AP ratio on an auto attack... If you get a Night Harvester you can up that to 115% AP ratio on an auto attack. With Electrocute when you land Q + aa that auto attack will have 125% AP ratio (if you have N. Harvester its ratio would go off on the Q). Just something to think about.

Wow game 1 was really intense. I love it

[@justinpeterson7246]

That first game was nutz-n-da-butz

[@happyzahn8031]

last game: you were 1 1/2 levels ahead of taliah so you won lane. Every lane was ahead. Seems like you get the best teams when you play bard. Interesting. Good job.

[@Karsteski]

Love the movie length video

[@vvbbvvbb2595]

Have a beautiful day Pekin

[@stefanalbarran9097]

thank you for playing Bard mid Pekin!

[@happyzahn8031]

first or 2nd game: Not too good beginning, but oh that Aphelios kill at the end - pure smurfing goodness!

[@Dyanosis]

1:09:35 - "We have not missed a single CS" *meanwhile, he missed 1 RIGHT BEFORE saying that (**1:09:11**) and missed 1 in the cannon wave (**1:08:12**)* However, see exhibit A where he just said "So we do have some chimes behind us that I want to collect. But if I leave the lane, I might miss a minion..". Earth to Pekin - you've missed 2.

[@chrisye3974]

What an incredible first game

[@Rin-ip8oz]

You carried that first game by keeping your swain alive where everyone else failed! Would you consider playing Zilean mid? Idk how hard it'd be in that high elo, but i just can imagine the outplays!

[@skyetheweeb3314]

A good build to terrorize the rift with is hail of blades, shiv - nash - harvester - dcap, then a void staff or zhonya, certified bomber build

crazy that this game was with alicopter at support lol

The magical adventures of Bartholomew of Wolves.

[@russellquinn4285]

Out of curiosity, why go rocketbelt instead of night harvester? While rocketbelt provides utility and mpen, I feel like the movement speed and extra damage on the FIRST auto, which is what makes AP bard so good, is the empowered autos male's the build really pop

[@PekinWoof]

I like Magic Pen for big damage (Night harvester gives none)

[@jordanoharegibson1610]

Can a bard main tell me: during that naut gank around 9:30, if he threw ult on himself as hook was midflight, would naut have dragged himself under tower with pekin in stasis?

[@MrTheUbasketball]

Great vid

[@themangotango95]

I felt like Leonard in memento as I watched this video lol. Why order the matches this way Pekorino.

[@TheHoboJim21]

Go atomic Bard, Luden's, Shiv, RFC, Stormrazor, Lichbane and sorc boots with dark harvest. Definitely the most fun I've had playing Bard

[@amyt.7401]

Yayyy new video

[@mariseae]

over a hour of bard?????? incredible

[@xVibra]

Bard is real god damn nasty when I play him in aram, and with a bit of time to scale chimes, you turn into a monster. You can honestly disregard you ult a lot of times, or run Ultimate Hunter to be able to risk whiffing it. People respect Bard ult a little too much, and panic flash often so it works as a way to bait out abilities or summoners. Honestly, Swains not running PoM are actually just trolling.

[@brotherpupper]

That first game was awesome. No flaming, just everybody trying to make plays and come back

[@brotherpupper]

I also love the Kindred at the beginning just asking about bard and trying to plan around pekin's pick

That Swain is Fishlord one of the best Swain OTP in the world and top in NA

[@SuperDrawBot]

Im posting this just because it sounds like you don't know, so if Im preaching to the choir here, ignore me but: Bard chimes actually give you XP and refund Mana upon collection. So that is why you had no mana issues on game 3. You really should be going for chimes more often because it helps you out of lane as well.

[@goigadol1420]

the problem with how you play bard is you dont utilize e enough, its a traver move,use it to travel more

[@aussieamon]

Haven't watched yet, already worried Pekin is going to just leave chimes everywhere.

[@almazingsk8er]

Early in the first game is pretty rough, but he does well enough later on
