Off-Meta Climb to Masters continues with KHA'ZIX MID | 13.9 - League of Legends

[@water-poweredmachine8291]

Kha'zix's Q: Taste their fear. Damage is doubled on lone targets. Because they're afraid. But staying near a turret is comforting, cause its safe.

[@CycleMantis]

I thought it was because the tower was a type of minion, but this is valid too

[@lubbidium6435]

It was interesting that scuttle didnt remove isolation. So at 38:00 both the maokai and scuttle were isolated next to each other

[@dimo6994]

​@@lubbidium6435 maybe because the scuttle is constantly afraid of averything and runs away from you?

[@dimo6994]

​@@lubbidium6435 also maybe because scuttle cant damage the opponent and thus cant help you so youre basically alone

[@spaceblockb5284]

@@lubbidium6435 Monsters dont remove isolation from minions or champions.

[@SomeoneNr9]

Hello Pekin, I was the guy (or one of them if someone else did too) that requested Kha mid, thanks for blessing me with a double video, also you get extra style points for not going the somewhat expected comet w max build and going duskblade. You are indeed simply the most handsome streamer NA, greetings from germany!

[@abe-_-]

im glad someone else had the same idea, kha is such a cool bug

Loving the off-meta climb idea. I would love to see you play lethality Jhin mid.

[@quietchase]

Why lethality

[@unredeemabledumbass3953]

personally prefer AS/MS zoom jhin

[@uk1yo]

yeah id love to see jhin mid too, thats what i said in his first video. glad other people wanna see it too, so its prob gonna happen

[@chompercarz]

Double game off-meta climb video? This is some insane innovation and I'm here for it.

[@gagefend7424]

i love the formality of this video. coming from someone in an incredibly low elo especially, it’s so interesting to see how much you think about during lane, roaming, and ability timers, and how it affects how you trade and farm, and to do it in a way where you beat an irelia in lane with kha zix is fascinating.

[@Astroboy29]

Pekin i really believe that your channel is going to continue to grow and pop off soon you have such good educational content while also providing a very chill vibe i think a lot of people can learn from you. Keep it up

[@abe-_-]

hey i was one of the people who asked for this, thank you so much!!! great video as always

[@myparentsaredivorced4573]

Kha main here. I usually evolve R against auto attacking champs as it allows more downtime to be untargetable, making outplays more possible. E evolve is also good but it’s usually better when your sole goal is to kill a squishy and get out as fast as you can. Q evolve first is usually for when you’re farming in the jungle and behind, and isn’t the most useful in lane. You can probably make use of it if you’re gonna roam instead of farm in lane, but I usually go E or R evolve to really snowball.

[@RetroCube]

What order do you usually evolve? W seems ok but I never feel like I’m getting much out of it, I feel like I’m doing something wrong lol

[@myparentsaredivorced4573]

@@RetroCube W is good if they group a lot or need survivability. I usually go it when I’m running bruiser Kha. Most games I usually go E or R first, depending on their team. E is good for good escapes and squishies, also to get in and get out if I have little ways to escape. Most of the time R is my second evolve.

[@marshakthebearbarian8326]

Love the idea of Kha mid, makes me wanna try it. (after some non-ranked practice ofc) Also I love the x2 game videos! Keep doing your thing man.

[@himpy1925]

New game: take a shot whenever Pekin says "that person"

[@liampouncy7808]

Just wanted to say I'm really enjoying the format of two games in one vid when it makes sense. Also, the off-meta to masters is cool - a good solution to the 'smurfing for content' problem. =] Have a great day, Pekin.

[@GrantyBagels]

Been watching Pekin for quite some time now. Love the idea of an off-meta climb to Masters XD An idea I have and I've never seen him play it but Ornn mid would be fun to watch!

[@RubenMiguel10]

❤It was me! I asked for it twice, and u sir are truly one of a kind!! Much L❤ve Pekin! Bet u tired or hearing this but the chill in your videos always soothes my day!

[@SunshineMatt]

Keep up these videos. Can’t speak for everyone, but I enjoy watching the off meta climb. Definitely more than the test server videos. I think a lot of people enjoy watching climbs and the off meta picks helps make it a little more unique than a Grand Master or Challenger player climbing again on the characters we already know they can control a game with.

[@unholyweasels6373]

Lets see some Skarner mid for Garrett Hafeli, they've been asking for about two years and this is the perfect opportunity.

[@Zamun]

Thanks for the content. I enjoy this double game videos.

[@klaus6815]

loving this series. Id love to see you bring out the nunu mid again in these games, those were some of my favorite videos from you

[@DD-ut9cc]

I have this theory, listen to me, Darius support. Aftershock is vital as is Knight's Vow. Play him like a bodyguard and stop anyone getting close to your VIP. If you build him tank he's not worth focusing yet even support Darius will rip people up if you just let him gather stacks. If you're above 30% max health you redirect damage from your VIP to you and then your Q heals you based on missing health allowing you to stay healthy enough in a fight to keep Vow up.

[@zegolem3607]

I second this

[@ronsongathus9634]

SunTzu Art of War: "Appear strong when are weak, appear weak when are strong." Pekin in League of Legends: 11:35 and asl well as most Thresh that randomly throws lantern at fog of war to scare off enemy.

[@brentc1910]

Love the off-meta climb, commenting to help out Pekin's algorithm

[@EnvyzSinz]

I like that you do multiple games in one video you should keep doing this format also I recommend AP sion mid I seen someone 1v9 a plat game with it in my matches

[@pnutbuttrthundr]

Nocturne mid is one of my favorite off meta pics for mid lane, would love to see you try it!

[@jonathanrussell8998]

That second game 3 of you had Duskblade, 2 had Muramana, 2 had Essence Reaver, and all 5 had Ionian Boots. I love how diverse league itemization is… XD

[@tazman9897]

Dear Pekin, Idk if you’ll see this but I’m a fan of yours I’ve been watching for about 1 year now from where I live in the Caribbean (🇹🇹) and I’m top lane main however I always enjoy your videos because you help teach me a lot about mindset and wave management. I hope you keep posting despite the likes.🫡

[@ranchonbread4905]

I have no idea how viable this would even be, but a lane Hecarim constantly shoving and running bot would be hilarious.

[@majortom92]

Back in season 3 or something I used to buy Hydra on mid, helps you isolate target when fighting on lane

[@kurtei]

KATARINA ADC!!!!!!!! Love your videos pekin woof

[@simplexeon]

This new series is really good! Looking forward to some of the more strong off-meta picks like Kindred and Kayle which are pretty underplayed considering they work fairly well. On the other hand, I'm also looking forward to stuff like tank Kassadin and bruiser Nidalee (although this one is probably a little too janky).

[@VocalMabiMaple]

Thanks for the climb vid! Have you ever tried illaoi mid? You put her tentacles in the position where you would out jhin/teemo/shaco traps and then just blast them with W

[@dsmitty1263]

Love the series Pekin. Would love to see you do both Lulu and/or Ziliean mid. sometime

[@igerstel]

I learned a lot about how isolation works!! I got demolished as Veigar by LB today (and every time I see LB) so uhhhh if that matchup comes up pls record. But for off-meta mid picks I'd love to see some Volibear or Gangplank, those might be viable in some matchups.

[@Boamere]

That renekton though

[@thefailers2597]

I'm enjoying this series more than I thought I would As for suggestion nothing really comes to my mind right now except for the usual lethality jinx

[@DefiantBBX]

Kha mid tip- usually it's best to R evolve against melee lanes and W against ranged. Q is best if you're gonna be doing a lot of fighting in the jungle. Would've loved to see some level 6 R evolve gameplay, but great video regardless

[@nicolasbolzico979]

Very cool. I thought it was Artic Ops Varus in the thumbnail and wasn't going to watch it lol.

[@leyshadow1192]

Love your videos I'd love to see Kai Sai, Corki or Zeri mid again. Loved those videos 😊

[@bensparrow3356]

I wouldn't have thought of this, but it was great!

[@axelbruv]

Was looking forward to the next off-meta climb video.

[@deletekeys]

I like where this series is going. What are the odds an ap Kindred would work given the ap ratios on shiv and razor?

[@frostythesnowmang]

that's too troll, kindred has no AP scalings at all

[@TheMigthyPotato]

​@@frostythesnowmangyet

[@deletekeys]

@@frostythesnowmang I thought so 😭

[@moltenchocolate201]

I know you just played it on PBE but would love to see some Vayne mid in the off meta climb!

[@quietchase]

Yes please VAYNE mid

[@Pitzun2207]

I used to be OTP kha top and sometimes mid. Vs irelia/jax, i would go phase rush for out play potential. If played correctly, match up is easy. For some tough match ups, that you cant win (renekton for example), i would go comet and max and upgrade w first. It is actually crazy good how much dmg you can do with that build

[@RafaelGarcia022]

Good gameplay as always but the Renekton from the first game definitely steals the show for me. Lmao

[@venator667]

Ahh the days of kha’zix top tear build. That was a loooong time ago!

[@timercolen1586]

Remember if you arent subscribed to pekin 2 you dont get to see him in a maid costume. Its worth.

[@p00rstr94]

I used to rock crit jax way back, might be kinda fun to see how it plays in season 13

[@egghead4]

Absolutely love this series! I hope you can do another soraka mid video

[@ThePsychopathicD]

hey man love the channel. hope your views and subs pick up.... my suggestion would be a ad thresh one shot build or a Soraka mid burst build. i could see them being popular

[@magnusmller8487]

love the series

[@yaoitiddieexpert1486]

any consideration to try the showmaker ezreal mid moonstone renewer build?

[@fredydiaz144]

Would love to see Lethality Zeri Mid. Your AP zeri mid video was my favorite one you ever made and i wish it was still a thing

[@ph1lny3]

From what I remember, there was a patch that made towers remove Q bonus. It was a long time ago too iirc. Edit: found it, the change was made in patch 4.7.

[@TheMuffinsama]

Great games! Is roaming Janna top with smite still a thing? That could be fun

[@normieguy3803]

this renekton got those good takes, espeecially on the skin idea

[@cameronsmith9562]

Once again I come to you with a simple request: Bel'Veth in any lane of your choice. Kha mid is one of my favorites, so I'm excited to watch the video.

[@jeffersonmedeiros8402]

'M5 Alex Ich' 2023 version :D I'm not sure if viego mid/top is considered off-meta, but he has a consistent W/R against some melee champs like Kass, Yasuo, Sylas.

[@darkbonesss564]

made me remember that one christian kha'zix vid, dont do that one. Love the vids, keep at it

[@anachronisticlaserbeams4820]

Please consider doing a Kayle Mid game sometime during this series. I'd quite like to see that.

[@dennisharbich8565]

Second try in getting Pekin to play toplane: Lillia Top. Feels really good into immobile opponents, but miserable into Irelia or the like. Would love Pekins opinion of if it's actually a viable pick.

[@ballistic101]

What about ad sion top? Before prowler's claw gets removed.. would like to see you try that playstyle

[@Ventruethful]

Amazing serie by the best LoL streamer ❤️ would love to see a karma mid video

wp Pekin, excited for this series, id love to see some ezreal ap or ad

Can't wait for AP Viego, I have played it a lot but I never see it done.

Kled mid could be really cool for this series!

[@spiralhaze2070]

Rengar and Kha'zix! Working together! MASS HYSTERIA!

[@lolmauve]

Qiyana support would be fun

[@qiyanaenjoyer17756]

Yes

[@AlexiSonic]

Probably a bit late, but seeing how this Zac was playing, I'd like to see a Jax mid or Jax supp in this off meta climb. :)

[@GrowthMindset00]

have you ever thought of bruiser kha with conq, goredrinker, and black cleaver? rush r upgrade, focus on being a menace in team fights because of healing

[@noahbarrong]

Fun series. Could you play AP Blitzcrank mid?

[@idk5544]

Saw some video about an anivia player Who used grasp and built heartsteel n stuff, would be integrering to see you try it

[@TheOddKris]

Dang, Khazix Mid, is it season 3 again? All jokes aside, banger video my dude

[@Penguinverse]

Oh man, I feel bad for the Irelia in the first game. She popped off in one flex game then got humbled by Pekin lmao

[@omenous6280]

Ap Aphelios has my vote. Cosmic Drive and such, getting a lot of AH is theoretically a lot of fun

[@DaWowDruid]

zyra mid! zyra top! make it happen!

[@mkz.]

Hi! i asked for this ty for playing it :)

[@bryanincommiefornia5629]

I know you did it not too terribly long ago, but as an Ashe mid main id love to see you play it again.

[@agigglingturtle1754]

Howdy Pekin, ever tried grasp Rakan top? sunfire first, shur second c: lethality akali is always on the table as well ;)

[@cryfier]

Its kinda sad that you didnt give the screencap of the person asking for it. That was a cool feature and also incentive to give more suggestion. Please dont let quality slip like that. Other than that good video and great series.

[@DemonZest]

Even while being so fed Irelia and Belveth almost killed you, those are crazy champions :o

[@shika404]

Machine-gun lulu would be cool to see in this series once all the on-hit item changes hit live server I know I already requested this on another vid but hey, commenting boosts algorithm 😅

[@hermesmarinhidalgo18]

We need some ivern mid action, with the new items it could lead to very nice builds

[@shadowismyfriend122]

Any hope of a Nami mid game? I love this series and am hoping for Nami before you get too high elo

[@JoelHangai]

Full ap oneshot Galio build? Love all yo videos btw and you are most sane league player fs

[@sethb3090]

Game 2 "Wow, I'm surprised I missed my W there." It's a rite of passage for kha players.

[@gamignman267]

Try Pantheon (Any lane) With Axiom Arc->ludens or hextech-> cosmic drive->deathcap, use PTA or electrocute with prescense of mind and ultimate hunter for runes. Idea is to win lane and then chunk the entire enemy team with ult and w during teamfights

[@wetcracker]

Hey Pekin, these videos are really fun. Would like to see AP Tristana mid if possible :)

[@jaygee94]

If turret didnt stop isolation, that irelia would have been playing the game with no color lol

[@shallow33]

unsolicited advice: I don't know if you have an editor but stuff like showing runes or YT comment can be easily done in post processing. Yes it's very basic and you can do it yourself through obs, but having an editor do it lets you just focus on the game and the commentary. Also opens the door to better production quality and other ideas that you wouldn't have time for if you had to do them yourself, like intro/outro, zooms/filters/effects, etc.

[@jjwebster4587]

loving the series, would love to see lethality jhin mid

[@g-shot7904]

I'm old enough to remember khazix mid being the meta.
