Reksai Mid is an INSANE ASSASSIN (So easy to 1v1 anyone) | Off-Meta Climb | 13.11

[@serafina2643]

Gwen Mid with Rocketbelt, Sorc Shoes, Shadowflame, Deathcap, Voidstaff, then whatever last item you want. It's basically a full pen build so you'll do ridiculous amounts of damage, even to tanks, and can one shot almost anyone with all 3 ults. It's also just a generally better build than Riftmaker anyway, plenty of Master Gwen mains build it.

[@venteanari]

a fellow gwen mid enjoyer!

[@roundhousetodaface]

She already has true damage. She’s not a pen-reliant champ.

[@venteanari]

@@roundhousetodaface her true damage has been halved, and it’s only in one well-aimed part of her kit. she still benefits greatly from pen.

[@omenous6280]

"can 1-shot with 3 ults" Have we forgotten what the number 1 means?

[@metalfacedeyedeas9760]

Almost all league players say "one shot!c when it's like 3+ fast attacks that kill lol

[@thefailers2597]

That blitzcranck drifting in and hooking people to death (with those sound effects) was hilarious

[@brunodominick4931]

16:35 it does feel weird that reksai ult didn't kill there. But I calculated everything. She does 440 damage + 25% missing hp, which should be 197 extra damage in this particular case (I calculated from Lucian's missing hp) so it should have dealt 637 dmg if flat, but Lucian had 73 armor, the final damage = inicial damage x 100/100+armor so the final damage is 637 x 100/173 so 637 x 0,57 but it is actually rounded up to 0,60 on league so 637 x 0,60 and the final damage should be 382 and it was 385, pretty close

[@Jaxelh]

I think one thing that makes this an awesome climb is that this sort of proving that the main thing that will get to high elo is your game knowledge. You're playing various champs you don't main (at all) in a role that their inoptimal in and still finding success!

[@bagbag9099]

would love to see some lethality zeri, id love to see the pioneer of ap zeri himself try out this similar build :3

[@sleepynonbinarygirlboyfriend]

hey pekin! just wanted to say I have been really liking the double game in one video format! thanks for awesome informative yet entertaining content :3

[@hugosantosparada336]

Man legit this has become a daily ritual to watch ur mid climb, thank you so much for the consistency! I throw in a poppy mid she's really a huge bully to some popular ad mid like talon or even yas! I like to go minion demat and tear start her wave clear and dmg are pretty decent! Thanks for the vids series again

[@wolfy8006]

quit now, run... i have been watching Pekin almost daily since 2018 now. Quit now when you have the chance ...

[@kosviik9584]

[28:50] Ahri was probably around 94-96 HP. I just did an estimate by counting her HP regen on the HUD while it was available. So yes, you did 10 extra damage. Another 12 or so seconds I guess and it wouldn't have killed.

[@tyrsin2442]

Hey Pekin! If you get filled jungle again, I really recommend trying out Urgot. He has super fast clears! Also blue pet helps you stay on top of people really well. I've really been liking Approach Velocity on him too so if you land a far ultimate, you get some movement speed to rush into lane for a gank and land an E.

[@XanDubs]

black cleaver redemption build, surely

[@azurinetwilight5247]

Hi Pekin! Thanks for another Rek'Sai Mid video. I play her mid a lot and your videos help me learn better ways to play the lane! Also in case you didn't notice, the title's version says "13.1" Thanks again!

[@captainsteve7817]

This is a great series of off-meta climb vods. Keep up the good work!

[@Cjmcurlytop3]

Hell yeah Queen Rek'sai vid! Amazing job thanks for showing off an amazing off metta pick.

[@ipatchymakouli415]

At 16:34, 600 HP Lucian seem tasty for your ult dealing about 640 damage right there. But no, 74 armor is a big mitigation without penetration, reducing over 40% damage (we saw 385). To remember easily, 100 armor is 50% reduction, that's enough to me to be wary of resistances.

[@Kevin.Dunphy]

@16:35 your r deals 440 + 195.25 (25% of missing hp) = 635.25 physical, but you have no armor pen yet. The number shown is 385 dmg, which is consistent if Lucian had an effective armor of ~65. You can see he has 73 armor, so if you account for your runes this seems about right.

[@PinkLionArt]

Wooo! I love seeing the new video of a champion after liking the comment suggesting the champion!

[@sibylhayley]

This was the first week in a long time I had didn't get to watch pekin on a daily basis. It was also a brutal week. Did I miss Pekin telling me to have a good day? Yes. Yes I did.

[@tylerbillings5300]

Interesting, his Exhaust did not apply before your ult. I calculated your pre-mitigation damage to be 635.25, reduced to 385. This is consistent with Lucian's armor of 73 assuming you took Sudden Impact (idk if you showed runes before that play). If you had built new Yommu's + Dirk, then you'd have ~41 Lethality at level 11, which would tank Lucian's damage reduction from ~40% to ~25%. Unfortunately, you'd only deal ~500 damage (approximate bc I don't feel like accounting for the small AD differences). Even a second Dirk isn't enough to get through the remaining HP, so killing him is really contingent on getting an auto or two in.

[@thefailers2597]

Wow, this is really detailed. Thank you stranger

[@TheDahaka1]

"I have no healing on my kit!" - Sad Triumph noises. "How am I so fast?" - T2 Boots, Stridebreaker and Black Cleaver after killing minions. XD

[@MrWatshouldmynamebe]

I love watching these I’m so blessed that I get to watch a Pekin video every day praise the lord

[@SwagMonztr]

I love these videos so much. Ty for the series! Niche worked out well

[@tomazcm]

Good job Mr Pekin! Keep it up ;D

[@chriszhang4822]

Commenting on multiple monster-related characters in the same game, we’re finally seeing Pekin at his mental limit

[@zyul6420]

YUSSS THANK YOU PEKIN FOR REPLYING TO MY PRAYERS

[@granterickson2916]

Voting for Sett mid again. Love your videos man.

[@aliabdulaziz8064]

Diamond Reksai OTP here lol, because they removed prowlers and she saw a huge loss spike they gave her some quality of life changes on her tremors form W and it's knock up as well as lowering cooldowns on her q so she works better as a bruiser. They also buffed reksai healing so it actually exists outside of jungle, and now she heals for 2% - 12% of her max hp. Also HOB is mathematically worse than Conqueror, as it ramps up her ult and E damage quite a bit. Overall you play the queen well tho! :D (btw illaoi in lane is genuinely one of her worst matchups lol)

[@veznait02]

Ive had a lot of fun recently with Nautilus Mid. You still go Evenshroud and Tank, but you have a surprising amount of dmg from lvl 1 with your W. More so with corrupting and ignite. I go Aftershock with minion Demat. It works very well against Melees and decently well against mages...

[@joeymonte9759]

The way you really died from cc at 21:26. Greatest hour of my life watching this video.

[@cohengraham5369]

Heartsteel Vlad 😮

[@yorchmr3603]

i tried reksai yesterday just by random on ARAM and geez, the heal from unburrow is insane, before it was like meh thing but now its kinda good lol

[@firstnamelastname3403]

i like reksai. glad to see an off meta build

[@killerkoiking]

Great video, as usual. That Illaoi swapping lanes was so annoying, but it's always good to have your jg help out a bit until you can carry. Maybe you can play Poppy mid on your climb? I hear she's pretty strong top recently, but haven't had time to play her myself

[@jhonedwardmoramora4672]

Did Pekin get First Blood? Game 1: Nope First blood happened at 4:50 by Kai'Sa Game 2: Yes First blood fight started at 27:57 Win Streak: 1

[@pekinwoofawesomeclips]

Awesome video mr pekin!

[@tristanridley1601]

Are we going to get Pekin Illaoi mid? (If you do, look at her spells' mana costs)

[@greensabr200]

Small touch that I love, you always put the skin you use in game in the thumbnail

[@morphindolphin5959]

Lethality jhin jungle... jhingle :D also love you and your videos

[@blayy4298]

I haven't seen skarner in years so can you use him mid?

[@atk-3217]

this is insane content keep it up🔥

[@0MrFreckles0]

Yo that blitz was crazy in 2nd game

[@aintdanyet]

"We wanna get under asol, knock him up and bite him into submission" All these innuendos are comic gold. Genius content or oblivious comment? Personally, I don't want to know 😂

[@ProfOfBirdLaw]

Pekin apparently playing one for all that second game had me laughing.

[@lincolnpatience6480]

Thank you so much Pekin!!

[@omochowo]

let's go! time to beg for Milio mid again

[@ClickZephyr]

That snipe on ahri with buttowed Q was so good

[@Tijmen90C]

Rados actually did a great video on the synergy of Kalista Mid and Duskblade. Would love to see you try that! (It’s called something like ‘this synergy is crazy’)

[@cheezar5121]

I think some full lethality poppy is a ton of fun, mid or jungle

[@claytonbacheller5319]

Game 1's R test on Lucian: Lucian waited till he saw you become targetable, and then dashed away and pressed exhaust at the same time before your dmg went off.

[@billygardner2174]

What’s with all the Kai’sa tops?

[@itssemp6216]

the "and beat him into submi....sion.... alright we are against illaoi 👏" so funny

[@quietchase]

What's up with all those Kaisa top?

[@nekryone4366]

i wanted to play this champ mid for ages but i kinda suck lmao. fun to see it played well

[@MrDanisve]

Pretty funny you calling everyone Reksai. After the 5th time i started cracking up :D

[@SugarFreeVampire]

I beg you Pekin don't forget the Kayn video before you hit master 😭😭. Also great video as always, great showcase of rek'sai :D

[@Silverdany09]

Is Kaisa the new meta? I think we’ve seen like 4 games where you have a Kaisa top

[@ZedEUW]

Finally!!! Thanks Pekin

[@lizzfrmhon]

That Blitz was cracked

[@Lolobigsmash]

30:45 is my favorite part of the video.

[@plankcaller]

ok but that blitzcrank game 2 was nuts

[@jimuelqueliste9215]

Dang! That blitz saved the second game!

[@frommetoyou5450]

Hey Pekin, i think it would be interesting for some of us to know what champ you ban.

[@losercat1447]

Another episode lets go!

[@ShadowKhada]

You should play Illaoi mid. It’s super strong, especially when you get a tentacle on each of the corners of the mid lane walls

[@bennybranco2905]

24:32 Thats how you know you did well LOOL

[@PokemonTripHD]

Can we see the new AD Twisted Fate build? Kraken -> Guinsoos -> RFC / hurricane with E max first

[@alicechan404]

49:44 "What kind of champion can jump into three people like that and just run away afterwards?" Akali, particularly tank Akali (w/ Grasp and Heartsteel). Maybe you should try that build sometime 😉

[@doublesoul862]

That Blitzcrack is a giga gamer

[@bamby3144]

I think bruiser zeri is a lot of fun, titanic hydra into black cleaver with rageblade as the mythic is kind of nutty

[@Alextinto28]

Could you do kindred mid?

[@RqtiOfficial]

You should try to do a support to masters series next, or at least some support games. I'm a support main and am stuck in high gold, but I feel like I don't have that much room to improve. I want to see what I'm doing wrong.

[@urbanizedpizza]

Maybe improve your macro mid and late

[@Krotau]

You could try an on-hit kindred build in mid

[@Felixxfb]

I'm once again asking for a Morgana video. Ty Mr Woof.

[@yougelyou7392]

I know i wrote it before but u could try AP Gnar. His big form will be bad but the small form has a good AP Ratio that increases passive max health damage. So if u get mid against a tank u can try it. Greetings :))

[@maframa7537]

Would love to see a full HP tank Swain with Heartsteel, Rylai's, Abyssal Mask, Demonic and either Anathema's if they have a fed dude or Imperial mandate for teamfights, with conq runes and resolve

[@estellie947]

full ap shyvana mid is really strong! I’d love to see you play it :)

[@captainkeller2792]

I dont know if it is not off meta enough but the old yasukeh tryn mid build with phaserush, stridebreaker and essence reaver is always fun. Otherwise ap gp would be cool. ^^

[@choz97]

What's up with all of these Kaisas in top lane? They're all different accounts as well.

[@luctapia]

lmao last 3 vids there has been a kaisa top, anyway good video pekin

[@balbes3538]

Pekin лучший👍👍

[@aaronlegge629]

According to my math, if correct…when you had Ahri selected at 4:44 she had 87 health before she left vision. You killed her at 4:51. Ahri at level 5 has a base regen of .9. So in those 7 seconds she should of healed to 93. You over killed her by 12. I really wanted it to be perfect… but it was still sexy.

[@shiah]

Did you account for armor damage mitigation? It can still be perfect :)

[@animeanime7849]

Imma need more reksai mid, expeditiously

[@jasonbentley2897]

You are too awesome man

[@loumao3685]

On hit gnar would be cool to see, especially with shiv ahaha

[@fotlght]

It's so clickbait title for the video in comparison to what actually was happened). But it still was a good commentary, thanks.

[@1oldkidd]

Lux mid how does she play in this new patch? Mainly buffs to others

[@juansaldana7976]

Everybody's Rek'sai!

[@nic0rum922]

I remember hearing how if you damaged her while she had her e on you it would make it fade faster and I don't know why they would remove it cause it adds counter play to her e besides just dodge it

[@alilo3373]

It would be great to see Ap Kaisa mid again, the feelin of just hittin those long range Ws off screen is insane

[@jasongriego1168]

I just wanna see an AD Vex mid GP, though is it viable? Probs not. Would i like apekin to try it? Hell yeah.

[@izackareesan8348]

What about a graves mid game? He's pretty versatile

[@YourIngrownToenail]

i swear almost every vid of this off meta climb has kaisa as the top laner in pekin's team

[@meleekingmq1]

REK SAI MID!!!!!! REK SAI MID!!!!!

[@wynpharoh1777]

Pekin mental 2 stronk

[@itsbattleroy]

well, I was supposed to post this yesterday but I was p busy so today! I will post some absolutely degenerate builds for u to play! :D let's start with build 1: | ap jax: run (into squishies) electrocute, sudden impact, eyeball collector, relentless hunter or treasure hunter if u want to snowball a bit harder, triumph or presence of mind and coup de grace: build nashers into rocket belt, deathcap, lich bane or defensive with hourglass, then choice of shadowflame or voidstaff (into more tanky team) lethal tempo, triumph or presence, alacrity, last stand, free boots, biscuit with nashers into riftmaker, keep everything else similar, could go tank tho. Kindred mid| Lethal tempo, Triumph, alacrity, coup de grace or last stand, free boots biscuits, building trinity force into wits if ap mid, or brok if into less than 2 ap, bloodthirster, black cleaver, titanic. And lastly, Warwick mid| Lethal tempo, presence of mind, alacrity, last stand, second wind, revitalize. starting with tiamat for wave clear, into trinity, titanic, steraks gage, then situational tank items to finish off, and or bork is always a good option. Anyways, hope u see this and enjoy the builds if u try them :D

[@inashia]

Ap Soraka mid lane would be so fun to watch!

[@Dyanosis]

It's really not though. She's basically Shen - 3 abilities vs 4 and not able to ever truly do what she was built to do.

[@shiah]

All hail the algorithm!

[@sorgair]

how does pekin keep getting kaisa tops on his team

[@7Xorcist]

Please play Illaoi mid aaaaa I've been asking for weeks!

[@CrudeUK]

I would love a viego mid video. Very under played imo. Karen player professorviego is nuts at this. Only 1 player in EUW plays it in high elo. None in NA to my knowledge! Would love to see it

[@lllllllllllll8867]

Can you do AP Gnar mid pls
