Honestly. We should put a petition up to bring old shen back. Shen was SOO good before his rework. And sure, he's okay now cuz he still has tankiness his engage and ultimately. But what really took him to a diff level was the ranged poke that have you life steal, without that, it completely changed shen in a bad way. Now he's lame, and the visual effects of having a sword float around everywhere looks retarded also..

[@hekudechene6545]

Damn Petu, you've really outdone yourself man, that video is a masterpiece, good story building, good naration, good music choices that really amplifies the emotions. Overall a 10 out of 10. I wish to see more videos like this one in the future !

[@hotdogeater8647]

Yeah man it motivates us to learn and explore more of the game

[@ender4101]

"Nobody can play GP to full potential" is a weirdly comforting phrase in the context of this video. After so many games trying to master the champion and thinking he might be too distant from his goal, Petu learns that no one else has truely mastered GP. The "mastering GP challenge" might have been impossible from the very beginning, but it makes all those insanely good GP players a little more relatable and "reachable", in a "I can't master the champion, but I can still play like them" kind of way. Petu then continues to learn the nuances of GP and, at the end, gets a sick quadra and M7. Far from being a perfect GP player, as that'd be impossible, but satisfied with his own performance, as he should be.

Plot twist he was learning it for 2 years and made a New account for the video

[@Mooninite2021]

This video felt very... mature? Especially for a League video. The thoughtfulness behind your work, the choices in editing (shout outs to PreComp Studio), and the quality of the interview help convey the sincere efforts to produce nothing but high quality content. This could have been such an easy meme video, but you really subverted the expectations other content creators have trained me to have and left me pleasantly surprised. Not because I believed this video would be of lower quality than your Shen-focused work, but because you have an uncanny ability to make each video feel like an "xPetu" creation.

[@HawtLS]

Couldn't have said it better myself

[@TheR6R6R]

This kind of "hero's journey" narratives are always a blast to watch. Reminds me of ymfah's challenge videos, where every lows and highs are highlighted. If you can maintain this quality for other champions you want to try, it would be a crime if the effort goes unnoticed.

I'm one of few people who call themselves an Azir main. It's hard to deny that the learning curve for him is pretty big, and I would love to see how you get over that. Azir top has been good for a while, you should definitely try him out.

[@kalls2k907]

Azir easily stands next to gangplank, though I can play GP but azir is so hard man, but if you learn him, you'll bully like almost every single champion in game

[@noname-sl7vf]

[@sgoddo]

i have one question about azir, is him rewarding? like, gp is really strong if u play him even at his 70%, but azir? if i play azir at 100% of my possibilities, can i do 1v9?

[@etove8222]

@@sgoddo the issue with azir is that he's one of the weakest solo-queue champs but one of the strongest team champs. you can 1v9 at 50%, but only if your jg or your supp play around you the entire game. personally i find him rewarding to play because i love the champion's kit and concept, but i can't deny that if you pick him up you'd be learning a very complex champion for little payoff in solo-queue. maybe in high elo its a good pick, but im nowhere near that cuz i quit league.

[@JacobRhanzen]

That was beautiful. It's not often you see such rewarding League content.

[@BartixShieldsmen]

These champion learning series are my favourite on your channel to watch , especially having played some of them it's awesome seeing someone fresh go in depth like you on all of a champs mechanics and breaking down what separates the good from the best.

[@LeeGamingPL]

Unironically I would like to see you continuing this series with every single top laner. Doesn't have to be right up to mastery 7 or even a full week, but I love to hear what you learn from playing a champion for this long and how it gives you a wider perspective of top lane as a whole. Perhaps other lanes/roles too if that's up your alley?

[@jasiuo6794]

This was one of the most entertaining videos I've ever watched, maybe just bc im a shensei fanboy idk... The production value was greatly appreciated nonetheless! This might be kind of out of the blue, but I'd be super interested in seeing you try Bard... Not a toplaner, but the way you play shen made we view the map entirely differently... what could you do with meeps...

Gangplank is 100x harder than zed. Every zed plays the same, and you can master him in about 50 games. Maybe not challenger level master, but you'll have him down enough to be able to basically carry any game all the way up to diamond. I started with nidalee and Lee sin, and then tried zed and found out it was significantly easier than nidalee was, even tho he LOOKS harder and more crazy, it's actually not that hard

Did you just Baldur's Gate 3 yourself in regard to your production? What a great video. Honestly, this video had a fantastic blend of storytelling via tension, drama, some comedy, and then the resolution that any good story follows. Yes, it's a League video and not an Oscar nominated film, but I couldn't find a better way to get my thoughts communicated. If you make "feature" videos similar to this in the 7 Days series (or any series/standalone uploads really) then I can see you differentiating your channel and what you offer as entertainment in this saturated market. Of course we still need the frequent xPetu uploads (that don't take as much time, money, and effort to create as this video undoubtedly took).

[@moisesoliveira1872]

I think most of the difficulty of learning a champ resides on it being something that suits your playstyle and a kit where you can visualize the perfect use off every skill. After i mastered GP, i felt like i could extract more from each champion, because the matchups in toplane made me see that the playstyle can change (Poke, Fighter, even tank) and made me think how to adjust to every situation i was on. I love playing with massive tanks on the frontline, like Sion and Ornn for example, they were easy to understand and execute, but with some champs like Samira or Vlad, i'm just a dead weight. So once again, playstyle and the kit.

[@ricardobonito83]

[@The_Youtube_Winner]
