The enemy opened mid at 4 minutes, here's what I did to make them give up | Challenger Syndra

[@sionkikuchi1807]

dang I thought it was twitch.tv/tarzaned thanks for the help pekin :)

[@Momogamer9]

Not me thinking it was a Caitlyn game. Same face female rito strikes again!

[@BCYoshi]

honestly for my own 2 cents; I think seeing a stomp like this is fun every once in awhile; because not every game I play is gonna be close either. Seeing a 1 sided game too often might be unhelpful; but the occasional stomp still has entertainment/educational value.

[@ahmedbayouk4517]

agreed. no harm in uploading the hole game

[@Br00d]

I use get a lot of value from all the commentary. LIke explaining WHY taking those early raptors away from their jungle. I sort of know why, but getting more in-depth about it from an expert like PekinWoof is so nice! ggs

[@pilkoso]

You also learn what they did in order to gain that big advantage, how to pull it and how to avoid it

[@melonwick1222]

the chat is also funny asf to watch

[@myparentsaredivorced4573]

Yeah, I used to watch TC Zwag but all he does now is low-elo stomp stuff with builds that would never work higher up, and it gets old very fast.

[@IconiaAngelos]

>Game: is over by 4 minutes >Pekin: aight how many syndra tips can I win before the 15 minute mark

[@peyman4374]

I really loved how game went in tutorial mode =)

[@jailyngonzalez2700]

I honestly think this video was EXTREMELY informative on how much pressure mid creates and how valuable camps for jgs are in the early game. It's been a while since I've played mid since I've transitioned to bot now, but one of the most important things I think midlaners have to do is keep track of the enemy junglers, almost as much your own jungler. As a midlaner, you always have to be ready to rotate to drags, heralds, jg skirmishes, and just keep track of the enemy jg as a whole. The entire lane's built on pressure, which is why getting mid towers is usually more valuable than bot or top towers. One thing I haven't done as a midlaner is fuck with the enemy jungler's camps. But this video just shows how just getting one camp and one kill is so detrimental to the enemy team's jungler. Plus, we all know that jg is op, so the more behind the enemy jg gets, the better. Especially if they struggle early like evelynn. And you did that because you built pressure by poking the Cassiopeia out of lane. Fucked two lanes in one move basically XD. I know you don't like stomps, but I honestly think the first five minutes of the game were so informative in how creative you can get as a midlaner in order to build pressure and use it to your advantage. Literally, the only reason I've stopped playing mid is because Jinx isn't too great in mid, but I would so implement this in my next mid game for sure. Also, at 13:05, I mean, you WERE right. It did go through the wall XD. Just not in the right direction, which I thought was funny. XD And I don't know why you remind me of so many funny and cute memes, but I instantly thought of the little girl's voice saying "What da hell. Da hell." when you reacted XD Keep up the good work Pekin. Really enjoyed this video, so thanks 👍

[@vwlz8637]

we already know mid and jg is OP

[@superkami1057]

Finally a Syndra game, been waiting for this since forever

[@Furdonkulous]

ikr I'm surprised he didn't bring up his hate for syndra in thus vid 🤣

[@alainey]

@@Furdonkulous he hates syndra?

[@Furdonkulous]

@@alainey yh he thinks she's boring to play and I agree since she was my first main

[@orionibtk3037]

This is one of those videos that really shows how a few early invades can really effect the state of the game, especially on punishing an enemy jungle who really needs to farm in order to scale and carry. The tricks Syndra can do with her stun too are also some fun things I never would've known about. I've wanted to try her out, so this is a really good video, stomp or no stomp!

[@slamburglar909]

I like all your vids pekin, you have great commentary and a lot of great tips. You talk a lot about how you appreciate feedback from your viewers, so I wanted to give you three things I find most valuable that I look for in your videos. You obviously talk about a LOT more than just these things in your videos (which is why I appreciate it), but these 3 things are what I (and most noobs) focus on the most because laning phase is so important in low elo (and you definitely hit most of these points in most videos, but not nessesarily): 1) tricks, tips, and big idea things about how to play your specific champion in order to beat their specific champion 2) big idea things about what you should be trying to do to beat the specific champion with different archetypes of champions (assassins, poke mage, battle mage, etc) 3) same as 2 but what different archetypes should be doing to beat your specific champion It’s a lot to go over every game, and obviously it’s hard to commentate while playing, but I think this is what a lot of people are looking for. The motivation for these questions is the following: I want to be better at landing phase against specific matchups in mid, and when I watch one of your videos I want to walk away better prepared against your champ mid and against the enemy mid champ, even though I might be playing a different champion in my own mid games against the champs I see in your videos (hence the emphasis I have in archetypes). For instance, if I watch a video of you beating Cassiopeia as Syndra, I would like to walk away better understanding how to play against Cassiopeia as syndra, how to play against syndra as Cassiopeia, how to play against syndra as as many archetypes as your willing to talk about, and how to play against Cassiopeia as as many archetypes as your willing to talk about. The reason for the last two points is that I don’t play syndra or Cassiopeia, but I want to walk away with useful knowledge about them so I can beat them with my mid champs :D I would even recommend branding your titles more along the lines of “how to beat yasuo,” “challenger shows how to crush X with Y”, “Challenger breaks down how to beat X”, etc. Tbh the reason I put all this detail into this comment is because I just got crushed by gold yasuo as viktor (and I was motivated to play viktor due to one of your recent vids) and I wanna know how you would play against yasuo as viktor and as all archetypes of champs xD

[@captainsteve7817]

Definitely keep rolling through game stats even in a stomp. Even if you have nothing else to teach then game chat is often comedy gold.

[@Josh-99]

He can't. You lose KZbin algorithm "points" if people leave your videos early. So you need to make sure that you end a video before people would jump out, which they absolutely would most of the time if the game is a total stomp. That's why he ended once he didn't have any other tips and tricks to show.

[@corvus418]

Yeah Josh is right. It's a bad idea for the channel. The stats don't matter at that point and who cares about toxic chat.

[@BrCaBe]

mid and jung give up at 5min in evelyn: x9 top Sounds about right

[@austindean9288]

Honestly, watching a stomp is educational because my team has started out as a stomp then fumbled the bag. Seeing how to close out won games is something I'd like to see! Thanks for the content!

[@BrokenFortuna]

Pekin, this is more of a general thing, but I really appreciate how you create your content. It's addictive to watch full games that are also educational since there's always something one can learn from a challenger. I like how calm you are while playing the game and don't let tilt get to you. Plus, I think it's great you upload both victories and losses since only then the games are actually interesting. It's interesting to see a stomp like this once in a while. I'm looking forward to more Syndra games in the future because I love her even if she's D tier so I'm excited to see how you make her work and make her consistent.

[@Tov4n3LL1X]

Syndra’s W resets the orb timer only in the first cast, so if you grab one and keep it there without throwing it its timer is ticking. As for the E, it doesn’t refresh the timer, BUT it stops it for roughly one second (basically to prevent the orb from disappearing mid-flight), so it is useful to pull off a 7-orb R without cdr

[@yusha5728]

Good to see you on Syndra, been waiting since forever. Love it!

[@RafaelGarcia022]

13:03 The comedic timing on this couldn't be better, lmao

[@ashon._.fireYT]

For real 😂

[@alexp-srt]

I loved the in depth mechanics of Syndra. Thank you!

[@noahaugustus1538]

I have to say I really love your videos. I think you do a great job at really explaining whats happening and your decision making. I’ve recently started playing more syndra ( yes its because I got the prestige skin I’ll admit it ) but hearing you explain it I think will help me figure out runes and why I should or shouldn’t do certain things. Plus you’re quirky and fun to watch 🥳

[@dd.5348]

The chat between Bel'Veth and the enemy was hysterical XD

[@declankirby8013]

Love your work Pekin An idea i had is to do a compilation almost of your stompy games but instead of including the whole game, you can speed through and show the key things that led to the stomp, like in this video the level 1 back on cass as well as the invade on eve. This way the stompy games won't go entirely wasted and you can still get content from them.

[@Njala1]

This was very informative thanks. Please more Syndra♥️

[@tric30]

I constantly am thinking about constructive criticism ever since I saw you reply to a comment on someone else’s vid about how hard it is to get useful advice. The reason I watch is your massive amount of knowledge of the game. Idk if I could handle a shotgun approach like this everytime, but just watching you explain a champion to such minute detail was very enjoyable.

[@daniel6273]

Really enjoyed all the tips you gave out. Even though the game was short it was extremely informative!

[@jamilandres9989]

I actually enjoyed the video. It felt a little more detailed and in depth regarding champion mechanics. I would like to see similar videos where you explain more about the champion you're playing. I know you usually do explain what you're trying to do over the course of the game but this one felt a little more detailed like I said. Of course also the videos where you talk about macro too are really good :)

[@alexavierwolf8459]

I love that Pekin is able to explain and show his explanation in game and even try dofferent things because he has the time to do so.

[@miyokone]

I love your Syndra videos. They’re super helpful 💜

[@shuccle6161]

I love these slower videos a lot because gives you a lot of time to basically just create a really informative character guide plus funny seeing how even in Master's you can't escape the luck-based elo climb 🤣

[@Artytanium]

Omg a Syndra game. Ily Pekin. Thank you

[@Cole444Train]

High elo stomps are fascinating, bc it’s usually neat macro decisions that create the lead.

[@StefanLopuszanski]

Gotta use what you can get. Still appreciate these since it is good to learn early game tricks.

[@alainey]

Thank you for playing Syndra, I was really hoping you would. This makes my whole month

[@Ryanneedsahandle]

I didn't mind the short game, I think it's valuable showing off how you got advantages and pushed them to an early win. Don't be afraid of ending the video early before the end of the game once you've ran through the tips you wanted to discuss

[@masekonamokro7715]

Thanks for the video, those tips and tricks were super helpful actually! :D

[@KentrixG]

ty for this. i finally started playing syndra since she came out. that combo is op

[@Senyuno]

GG Pekin! TY for the tips. I obviously need to practice timing the JG and also just use my time more efficiently when I get a HUGE advantage. I think all is low ELO guys don't know how to press our advantages or even realize how big our advantage is and what to do with it.

[@jasoncrosby9558]

Pekin wolf you should do seraphine

[@darkgoblin5681]

Yes more Syndra pls. She is one of my favorite mages to play.

[@Angiath]

Thanks to u and your Zeri mid videos I learned how important it is to fuck with the enemy Jungler’s camps early ✌️

[@Trashfir3]

Honestly I wanted to watch the rest of this game :c It’s fun seeing ppl tilt in all chat when it’s not my games for once!

[@ashon._.fireYT]

Tanks for the tips I was unaware of these Syndra quirks

[@marcelomarrodan7706]

I don't usually comment and I watch almost all of your videos but these kind of short vids are appreciated! It was really good educational content. Thanks!

[@Goooober12]

This had the same feel as watching someone just do tricks in practice tool. Pretty fun video.

[@vxytor]

the great advantage do the EQ delayed combo is that you can reposition the enemy to a guaranteed Q hit.

[@CamWhiteMusic]

Honestly I kinda get it. First timed Sylas into a Syndra the other day and proceeded to be able to do jack shit the entire lane. Stun combo on shorter cd than it takes to even start farming effectively. Least fun I've ever had.

[@hiiambarney4489]

To be fair, this game probably took some decent time after the video has ended, maybe even a loss with how the team was playing. Never the less, some incredible Syndra Knowledge, one can tell you put some time playing around with her.

[@acassettememoir8477]

i live for these descriptions

[@christianjuarez5967]

I love to see a stomp with one of my favorite champs. If you happen to get a Syndra game that makes it to late game I'd appreciate that too. I struggle with what to do once I have a lead with her, especially when they're stacking MR and I can't just burst them down.

[@smilingaxolotl9576]

I know you're not a big fan of posting stomps like this, but I think it's fun to see a video like this every so often (1-2x a month?). I can't speak for others but I'm really interested in learning what technique you used to land those early Q's on Cass. Was it her just stepping up too much? Were you using trading stance? (guaranteed skill shots I think you called them in your guide?). Other than that I'm just commenting for the algorithm.

[@PekinWoof]

Almost always it's because they are going for creeps or they are going for me while I go for creeps, that's why I can land a lot of q's

[@marziomoretti6167]

Was nice to learn about the trick, thanks

[@zonne4k]

Syndra game again would be great, ty for the hard work Pekin. Keep it up.

[@Tachii31]

Thanks for the commentary/tips. Shame the enemy teams weren't letting you get a proper Syndra game.

[@nickkek2660]

is syndra good post durability update? her win rate is abysmal but that might just be because she's really difficult to play well

[@Miguel_Noether]

13:02 Pekin doing Vandiril's job

[@amilo5]

syndra scaling and almost point and click q plus insta stun is the reason why syndra has to be at 45% winrate at all times or risk being pickban at proplay.

[@NaohMkS]

This was quite a nice video. I didn't know that much about syndra

[@stellanera98]

I bet the orb going backwards is for the same reason you can extend flash distance with walls and how Kayn gets pushed out of walls when his E ends

[@wendaled]

i really liked this video and the format i wish i could get into streaming

[@jundatan1654]

Hey pekin ! Wheni play syndra , i run into the difficulty of knowing where the e will send the ball to . Any tips on this ?

[@MinorZero]

You could probably have edited the game stats in at the end. But I can see how it isn't very meaningful here, still very useful tips for Syndra, didn't know about the delay effect on her push for example.

[@absurd5452]

Pekin at it again uploading champs that have been in my head lately

[@lewdfood7470]

im a norms only player but recently ive been stomping with syndra, a bit weird since last time I played her lets just say I didnt do too well

[@dabooni8876]

the question that i have with syndra stun is: when the wall is too thick and the sphere comes back. does it stun on both directions.? or if it stunned the target right at you, does it refresh the stun, when it comes back?

[@buppopup]

11:21 he did the trick there

[@ipd0043]

Really fun video. Not for them, but for you and us lol.

[@vioectrolysis]

Thank you for the tips, I didn't know the trick with E+Q

[@pooforest7427]

why were the ruins on the screen before minute 5?

[@Lioxqtp]

I just picked up syndra because I bought the new skin with tokens, and you give me this video! :D

[@yannperreault285]

The commentary on your stream was priceless

[@angelarias3395]

Gotta be honest I would’ve also just left after the first 5 minutes lmao there’s only so much hope of turning a game around that you can have

[@ADogNamedElmo]

pekin, how do you feel about aery+scorch brand?

[@xxColdshadow]

I'd like to ask a possibly dumb question, in case anyone that plays her knows. Is there a way to make her work as a support? Given her CC chain possibilities and mechanics I find her fun to play, but I'm no mid.

[@shirohimesstories2430]

I play her support it's actually funny xD especially since adcs are squishy lol I do play with a premade adc tho, i guess playing with a random wouldn't work quite as well 🤔

[@kamotea3380]

Thank you Mr. Pekin

[@parafaust6201]

Full burn ap talon plz I ain't counting anymore lol

[@niklassw992]

Can u show ur sound settings or tell me

[@kostis9516]

Fun fact you can easily split 2 balls by using w and q with e to stunt 2 enemies at the same time while they don't expect it.

[@xMc1]

Damn, you really played syndra, ty for listening to my request

[@kaplield4565]

Damnit I was so excited for Syndra game too 😭

[@ashon._.fireYT]

What's up with the second chair?

[@JayCJr_]

It's not too bad to see such a stomp, I mean, you can always get us to know with a little more of detail some micro of the champ, what may be easier if it's not a super close one-mistake-ending game

[@WilliammiauwI]

but on long walls you can push the enemy in the wall and stun them because the q bounce back :O andy maybe it makes double dmg when it goes throug enemy and then comes back ?

[@pancake010]

Buen video pekin 🫂

[@kemonolover5097]

Yesss, more syndra pls. Nobody uploads gameplays of her :c
