amazing commentary as always, 100/10 would recommend to my grandchildren and mother-in-law (actually made my bf watch ur vids,cuz he wanted to learn mid and we both found no better creator rather than you). now we have our daily pekin watch-sessions together and it's so cool! been following and watching for a long time now, even tho i played mid like 2 times in my life (i wanted to learn zoe and that's how i found you). unsurprisingly, now as a support main, i have learnt a lot of things from you, especially when it comes to trading and macro. also it's just wholesome to watch your videos. I've had rough time this year, because of the war in my country and your content was literally the only thing i could watch, because it's like a safespace for me. thank you, pekin! you're awesome!

[@vwlz8637]

i like how against lower elo players, unlike the other smurf youtubers who just mess around in low elo, pekin actually plays seriously, punishes mistakes and explains them so we actually learn from them,

[@sinkingwafers8384]

Your E CD was hilariously fast during those teamfights around Baron and in their base, definitely a buff.

[@CaptainDubab]

I love that you describe the basic mechanics of the champion like kass R. You've definitely reminded me of abilities and passive's i've forgotten.

[@slashblad13]

Day 81 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”

[@VioPLayable]

I cant wait for this. Sadly I don't think he will do it but keep reminding him chad

[@EHMSL1226]

What

[@tohmo8576]

Keep It up king, you'll see that in day 202 he will consider it

[@Awesombynature]

We broke pantsaredragon we can break pekin

[@Shxrpnesss]

that quadra kill was so satisfying. never had interest in Kassadin, but now I feel like trying him out. I love the variety of champs Pekin plays and still plays all of them very well.

[@prannavshankar5105]

insanely fun but can be very frustrating to play from behind

[@DustinHarms]

It's so satisfying when RoA pops right around the same time you level normally. Can just imagine the enemy team, 1 moment they see a level 14 Kass, then they hit tab again and it's a level 16 Kass. Talk about a mental killer. LOL Great commentary as always!

[@BrunoEvan10]

The changes reminds me of the Kassadin from Wild Rift. The only difference is that the Q is a skillshot on Wild Rift.

[@dennismorgan3701]

I haven't played league for months now, but I still enjoy watching your videos a lot. Keep up the good work :D

[@deyaaemran4242]

Same here ❤️

[@yorchmr3603]

in regeards of kassadin0s E: definetely a nerf to his early that could potentially push him further since i guess he already is kinda weak, but i think its pretty broken late game, basically a perma slow as long as you have the mana, probably will be either reworked or nerfed to be only affected by enemy skills rather than yours + allies + enemies, sounds a bit op

[@user-wu7ew8yb3w]

I'd rather they nerf E's dmg than having it being affected only by enemy champs

[@yorchmr3603]

@@user-wu7ew8yb3w yeh but even on a non 5vs5 its pretty stupid how much u can spam it, trully 0 cd at that point, i don't think pekin was fully aware but he could have spammed it a lot more in those short tfs he was having.

[@jared4832]

Basically, great commentary as always. Also, as I mostly play ARAM, this change could be intense.

[@DeniQq_art]

I wanted to ask something. How do you have a larger fov? Mine looks very zoomed in and my characters also look bigger. How do you fix that?

[@Charlotte-eg5ir]

Hi Pekinwoof, I have a question. My first thought when I heard about the new Items was - just like you did - to try out Ryze and Kassadin with Roa. Then I thought to myself, how fun would it be to build ROA, Frozen Heart aaaaand Abyssal Mask, not knowing it was impossible cause you only get one catalyst. So my question. Would you ever consider building Abyssal instead of Rod on either Ryze or Kassadin? The item definitely is strong, it still provides sustain, lowers enemies MR and increases your own. But maybe Rod do Ages is just too strong a mythic to not rush it. Id love to hear your opinion on it, thank you very much.

[@zapyourtumor1892]

So frozen heart is obv good vs heavy AD, I think that everfrost and crown are still very good mythics on kassadin so if youre vs heavy AP abyssal is definitely more worth imo

[@adamin97]

This E cdr is so crazy in team fights you can use it like almost twice as much as before.

[@DaIncredibleEgg]

Pekin makin sure everybody remembers just how bad it is to let Kass reach late game. That was a horror movie

[@inarifoxking]

Love your content Pekin! I pretty much got into playing League and got good at it from watching your videos. I hope you don’t change just because someone has a negative opinion. I hope you have a nice rest of your day! :)

[@merwan6150]

I always come to the same conclusion every time your video notification pop up: you are my therapist pog

[@AdrianWan]

E definitely feels buffed, love that you're showcasing all these changes and playing such a variety of champs so well. Thanks king

[@Trey10GG]

Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary today were playing uh Kassadin vs an Akali

[@NahJustin]

were playing on PBE, which is the test realm

[@ParallaxDawn]

Definitely a buff for kass e He will be really strong against champs with low cooldown abilities in laning phase, it’ll prob be nerfed In teamfights he can now essentially spam e which is REALLY strong so it’s op now I think

[@nfzeta128]

I wouldn't mind if they leave that and drop the e dmg slightly so kass is still really strong in teamfights but a bit more because of utility (spamming e slow) and less because of dmg.

[@chad6060]

24:50 holy shit even when its 3 ppl in a fight the 9 sec cd goes does to nothing so fast. versus lee sin and akali with double skill casts, kass is gonna be insane

[@dillonpatterson4310]

It seems like a buff but its hard to tell sometimes because you're not pressing it on CD but it is kinda absurdly quick.

[@h1de2m33]

imma be honest the buffs might be gamebreaking cuz the E cd in teamfights was literally less than a second. I really don't see this staying in the game for long, if it even goes live.

[@jarne28]

Have you tried manamune kassadin?

[@Ty_G]

PBE stands for pekins butt extraordinary

[@chad6060]

so true

[@angigirl12]

this is true

[@Qjciak]

if you used E every time it was off cd and enemy was in range you could probably used it between 50%-100% more times, in teamfights this buff is insane

[@Kuro-mp8ej]

Was the Caitlin any streamer or what? Why did they keep on saying fan?

[@baixolaval]

agasint akali you can run eletrecute and you always run hb haste, learn that from the best kassadin player in my opinion(MangoFish), but any way nice gameplay brow, always nice to see you playing

[@Zermie]

Man the E was available practically the entire fight at 24:30. I think they're going to nerf that a bit, maybe down to 0.5-0.25 seconds of reduction.

[@In_Space]

They're definitely going to change it reducing it by an entire second. Maybe cast lowering it by a 'x% remaining cooldown' would be more balanced.

[@liamdonegan9042]

I agree, like Kat E with daggers

[@shirasleeping]

Can you try zeri’s buff out?

[@anyelgarcia]

NICE game. It seems like a buff to me, especially since kassadin always buys seraphs and seraphs gives a lot of ability haste.

[@daappr]

Hey Pekin, I noticed this video your posture is somewhat crooked. Please keep in mind to fix it regularly. 🙂

[@Space_Potat]

Woo! PC gets WR’s change! Now the only difference between the two KAss are: the shield of WR one is on his passive (triggers whenever you cast an ability, with a cooldown) rather than Q; and that his E has a normal cd on WR but gets stronger (more damage and slow) after the 6 abilities being used near him

[@d4s0n282]

HUHH thats really interesting

[@BrunoEvan10]

Also, the Q is a skillshot on Wild Rift.

[@meyungmasiko129]

Awesome content, as always. Appreciate you pekin

[@therealalucardd8640]

Your content is perfect as is. The commentary is why I come back. Also be wary of taking advice from people who use "cringe" for anything they find to be a minor inconvenience.

[@myarshikho8856]

you play kayle ?

[@fernandorincon8151]

That E cd while fighting that baron was insane

[@viktorhorvath2576]

How did he get lvl 16 right after reaching lvl 15?

[@akoicarp]

Great commentary especially during laning

[@00J-Tone]

Why do jaxs always buff the e really early?

[@shiah]

All hail the algorithm! E was pretty much off cd all the time in the big fights.

[@QuantumFeldspar]

Real question Pekin. Why do you say your E's like that?

[@klynt5392]

Sounds like a Cassio hard counter with the new E

[@d4s0n282]

yasuo is way harder now too

[@macf3650]

@@d4s0n282 yasuo is an ad champ so hes inherently stronger , dont think the E change helps that much.

[@Denis-VBH]

@@macf3650 Kassadin already wins the yasuo matchup so i'd say it just makes it more easy.

[@d4s0n282]

@@macf3650 nope, e change hurts against yasuo, u pretty much always has e up against yas/yone due to how much they press q/e

[@macf3650]

@@Denis-VBH i think a good yasuo should snowball this early but yea late game kass giga outscales him

[@MrColada]

Overall, I like your commentary style and don't find issue at all with what was highlighted. The biggest thing I thought to criticize was your rune pages. I find it disjointing as a KZbin video to have the rune pages solely appear sporadically in videos, when instead you can edit in the rune content at the start of each video. Due to the current posting of the rune pages, there have been some KZbin videos with incorrect runes for that game or omitted runes.

[@Adrii0x29A]

You got a free shield when Akali stealthed mid q, the ability didn't go off but you got the shield anyway, weird bug

[@qweewq-h7p]

It does still count Your casting as -1sec, so yes it's a huge buff.

[@JamesBaleLA]

Pekin "Imagine inside of an actual teamfight" Woof

[@luqdude]

wait wtf thats a massive change, time to see how strong it actually is EDIT: so yeah its a nerf early game but holy shit in skirmishes and teamfights your cd is 0

[@northgermanvloger2620]

Kasadin + Cassiopeia sounds fun

That E change definitely not gonna stay. Just seems way too broken in a teamfight

[@wajedmatouk5433]

I'm literally in bed waiting for this guy to let out new content

[@StefanLopuszanski]

Wish you'd re-try stuff like this on live at higher Elo when they ship. Like the upcoming Tahm Kench changes that are going through. Would love to see that to learn what I might be able to use in my own games on live.

[@d4s0n282]

overall contsent from kass otp and mains it seems, the kass change is overall a nerf, and tbh I agree

[@StefanLopuszanski]

@@d4s0n282 : I mean I think it is a nerf overall mathematically. But the idea is nice. Could just use some tweaks to be better overall

[@d4s0n282]

@@StefanLopuszanski fr, i play a lot of kass myself, although not good, maybe decreasing around 17-18 for it to be same as before, and like 15-16 to make kass strong imo

It's time for a Kayle game.

With a stuff that gives that much cdr, the E change seems soo strong :o

cool changes :)

[@gi8rgi8]

Bro you are playing it in normal, where only bonobos and inting apes play. Sadly in the real world rod of ages still has bad stats for an assassin like kassadin, and weird item spikes. The fact good seraph hasnt been reintroducted gives alot of problems to every mage. For a main kassadin the Ideal progression should be rod-seraph-rabadon, but in reality luden+tear+rabadon+demonic is still better to get fed
