DARIUS MID actually feels GREAT?! (Insane Lane Kill Threat) | Off-Meta Climb - League of Legends

[@Marcus32131]

pekin i'm glad to see you committing to the challenge, your dedication is admirable

[@firstnamelastname3403]

The one where Rammus is just in the base and just farming then Pekin just kills him is funny.

[@Muehhe]

The silence was so loud.

[@maartenbondt9600]

I love pekins reaction to people making bad calls. He’s just looking like “yes that is something you *could* do”

[@drishya_ro8452]

Ashe and Senna going at each other was funny as hell lmao

[@bigal8476]

36:50 nobody was with me but me. -pekin 2023 😂

[@MrMagicRman]

7:25 that lillia flash was SMOOTH

[@nicholasfoster2564]

Unfortunately Darius is just like that: easy to kite, so front-to-back teamfights feel impossible. Its been a while, but if i recall correctly there is a way to overlap your q animation with your auto or w. Makes the combo super slick for fast passive stacks.

[@algebraizt]

Yeah you just animation cancel the auto + w so fast it basically looks like you only did half an auto plus q.

[@OddlyGinger]

Usually don't comment, but I love your vids man! I was already a fan, but the Off-Meta climb was such a great idea! I'll be sad when it's over, but I'll still be watching whether it's off meta picks or not.

[@Degnique]

hell yeah you played it! def try Duskblade vs a melee matchup and when they dont have tanky champs like you mentioned Darius is simple but he's been my favourite character ever since his release. Ty for playing my pick BekinBoof!

[@willmakesfilms]

i love that ur getting into more melee champs like warwick and briar. would love to see you play panth sometime (i know you have played a few games with him before) but i just really like pantheon. hes such an interesting champ imo

[@BuckysKnifeFlip]

I see they banned your Briar so you went beefy Briar.

[@georgeplakojohn7534]

Pekin has uploaded videos on the main channel with 125 different champions since K'Sante release. The champs that are missing are Aatrox Aphelios Braum Camille Cassiopeia Corki Draven Fiora Gangplank Garen Gnar Janna Kalista Karthus Leona Lucian Maokai Master Yi Morgana Nautilus Nilah Olaf Rell Renata Glasc Renekton Rengar Riven Samira Senna Seraphine Sett Singed Sivir Soraka Syndra Taric Trundle Wukong Yuumi Zed

[@aviewerman]

The crazy thing i9s that i've seen him play some of these before Ksante

[@polytopiaislife1255]

Wdym Pekin has played most of these Champs. Epsecially the legendary Janna top 4 v 5 against Tyler 1 where Pekin hard carried and won the game. As Janna. Support. Top

[@mathijsfrank9268]

I have a new off-meta pick for you if you ever get autofilled jungle. Neeko jungle. Her clear is pretty decent, starting raptors, red, krugs. If you do it fast enough you are just in time to reach the Minion wave to transform and do a non avoidable lvl 3 gank (wolves side works as well but is more difficult). After just repeat ganking by becoming a minion. Also when becoming a small raptor/ smallest krug you don't show up on the minimap, so those ganks are impossible to figure out. You start with q, w second and e third. I've been trying it out and it honestly seems really good.

[@mathijsfrank9268]

Also a tip, if you get the Minion transform on the first Minion wave at 1:05 you can transform immediately, giving you a bit more time.

[@dragonsreingsupreme1]

Had a neeko do that in a game with my duo and I playing ashe thresh we all got so fed we steamroller the hame and it was hilarious

[@mathijsfrank9268]

Honestly it's just too easy to feed your lanes!

[@alexandergutierrez1943]

how is neeko jg off meta

[@brocknroll2994]

@@alexandergutierrez1943 she got played there a lot when the rework first dropped but shes 0.2% pickrate right now in jungle, so I'd say that's plenty off-meta

[@TribbianiVR]

Really enjoy your content man, I stop watching so many LOL KZbinrs because it feels like they only post matches they do well in or when they stomp lane. You aren’t afraid to post loses and actually explain what you do things/your thought process on plays. Keep it up!

[@chadstacy]

the rammus was such a psycho i love it

[@Tachii31]

This team seems like a great example of why bait and alive pings are being removed...

[@ajx4]

I'd like to see you carry a match on this champ, every darius game I see is just like this one unless they came out of top 10-0

[@raghavlall3035]

It's so hard to carry as Darius 😢 just too squishy

Hey everybody, welcome to the next commentary.

[@legend0fwill]

Today we are playing some Darius, mid lane.

[@angstphantom5819]

In our off-meta climb to challenger vs an Orianna

[@nicholasplahitko3790]

Yo, if you haven’t tried it before, I recommend some games of Riven mid. Super strong into melee champs, and can fare well into immobile ranged champs as well. GL on finally finishing the challenge

[@GxOcean]

Use this as a pekin should make a beginners guide to mid “button”

[@jhonedwardmoramora4672]

Did Pekin get First Blood? Yes he did! New record (3)! Subsequent record breaks won't have this text. First Blood was by in a fight around the 2:19 mark.

Bruh, that first Rammus kill was fun

[@willmakesfilms]

pekin da goat fr

[@Goooober12]

That game looked so damn hard. Jesus. First person to crack costs the fights.

[@lubbidium6435]

This felt like a game where Serpent’s Fang would have insane value from all the shields. Any particular reason it wasn’t picked up?

[@esou.]

that should be senna's job, darius is playing front to back so he can't afford building squishy items that give no tank values

[@Arkane416]

Still loving the off meta climb! Great stuff. Been enjoying your pekin2 streams as well since I don't have time to catch actual streams! Haven't seen a riven game on the climb, riven mid in the future?

[@catlord69]

that might be mechanically too difficult at this level but it really does sound interesting

[@bendulek8311]

Love the videos. So sick of watching the smurfs in gold/silver with clickbaits! Keep grinding to challenger

[@jacob5373]

This was a fantastic game. GG’s

[@iamtheowlrus5894]

Pekin cutting through the opposition on these off-meta picks. Just cleaving them down. Giving them all the axe. He's Darius'ing all over 'em.

[@blindfold1046]

Wow that Senna's name was hell accurate

[@alicoop95]

The audacity of a 1-10 Senna pinging her ADC

[@iseeu721]

May I suggest Vi top as an off-meta pick? you can either go full bruiser or lethality for assassinations

[@mikelezhnin8601]

pekin not cancelling Q animation with stridebreaker somehow triggers me

[@thefailers2597]

The only time I played Darius mid the enemy mid picked Ashe ... It was miserable

[@lcintra_]

the game was doomed when yasuo and lulu could dive on repeat botlane. your team played very well trying to hold them but yeah

[@PandaRizzArg]

"I guess im the tank" procede to play as if he were k6 😂

[@Zerger]

Try Darius with lethal tempo. It feels great! :D

[@caytlynmarie]

I'm convinced that it is impossible to win as soon as your team locks in Senna

[@valentinocozzi]

Sometimes you forgot to hit the stridebreaker, but you still pulled a nice Darius on In a grandmaster lobby

[@vikraal6974]

Thank you for playing Darius. He is hardly played by anyone

[@karpashimala6927]

ye dont be afraid to hit the tank just to get ur hemorage stacks. I seen multiple occasions where u coulda stacked up. Full passive changes the fight completely

[@algebraizt]

Does anyone feel Pekin is just so good that he gets lazy with itemization? Meanwhile I'm so bad I'm trying to squeeze every advantage I can like I'm trying to get the last bit of toothpaste. I feel like Randuins, Force of Nature, Black Cleaver (raw stats and movement) would have been such better items.

[@Kmartwastaken]

Onward we climb, day 137 of asking Pekin to play full attack speed ahri for the off-meta climb!!!!

[@mohammadpakravan9516]

Amazing fighting skills for a zigzagoon ✌️

[@jeffyboyreloaded]

that bot lane was a tragedy

[@tigermask7622]

I love Darius in lane but struggle in team fights. I need to get more comfortable with his movement and hitting all my q's.

[@aybcd]

if the game is equal, kills on darius is just waste of money

[@FV0055]

This gameplay hurt my brain and eyes

[@taylorgalloway2579]

maybe try kassadin again since he got a secret r buff that wasnt in the patch notes 2 weeks ago i think. hes kinda nutty rn

[@Nako3]

that was a great game!

[@PakuZero]

darius mid in grandmaster vs orianna is impressive

[@itzzz_creecher533]

Pekin PLEASE try Darius Lethality with same runes, but add a Hullbreaker. Thank me later❤

[@notsure7158]

When I play Darius mid, I'm inting

[@KisniCovek]

26:03 Hecarim is virtually invulnerable to them, because League is a well designed game. He didn't even have R. --I am a fan of lol, but years and years of unaddressed design issues just keep compounding on top of themselves. It's becoming funny at this point.

DARIUS MID IS MY JAM

[@giovannidozzi]

What was Rammus doing?

[@willingoYT]

I love to see losing games and how you handle them. We can't win them all!

[@defrte]

Bot has to be boosted. That's got to be the aafetest ranged comp just for getting minions if they can't fight. How they keep getting clapped like that..

[@Gyarikku-Ho]

Damn that ori would have got on my nerves.

[@dustyacer]

damn pretty greedy for ori to not take phase rush vs darius. almost every time i thini have a free mu and want to take FS, phase rush usually is just better

[@Ka3sahn198]

I feel like pekin could play some of these champions better if he tried them in normals first

[@CalaTec]

And then multiply the time he needs to climb for the amount of games you expect him to play in normals before going to ranked. That is not how it works for people whos "work" relies on streaming high ELO matches.

[@Ka3sahn198]

@@CalaTec Except if he had more experience with those champs he could generate more wins and pop-offs and therefore better main channel content, then his second channel and the better quality of the videos would balance things out.

[@CalaTec]

@@Ka3sahn198 the guy is challenger he knows the concepts. You don't play 2 games to get better at a champion, not many people in challenger play as many champions as he does. It's a waste of time. He should play at least 10 games to then go on ranked and try to pop off. When he is still good enough without doing it. As I said, for people who work for this, normal games are a waste of time and money.

[@Michelino_M5]
