That really fun to watch someone who is more satisfied by his opponent gameplay than his

[@Mali8029]

Petu is like a villain looking for someone on his shen matchup knowledge level

[@KegstandOG]

I have to agree, if more players were willing to admire the gameplay of someone else who is also good we would have a more respectful community as a whole. Much respect Petu! I love your content.

[@octaviusshade7110]

@@KegstandOG i agree with u ! I've the same personality as petu, and it's really rare to see it on the internet, where most people prefer to insult each other instead of giving advice or compliment. So, big respect for him !

[@dirtydard4870]

Saying "satisfied by" has a very different connotation from saying "satisfied with"

[@shawninverted8551]

@@KegstandOG Right? I'll compliment the enemy laner for a slick outplay they pulled on me and instead of "thanks!" or anything they'll often go "uninstall, you're terrible". People are really out here malding even in victory and I don't get it.

Small correction, twitch e deals physical damage with base damage and ad scaling and additionaly deals magic damage without any base damage, only ap scaling, meaning ap twitch deals mainly magic damage with his e

[@r35ct12]

iirc they play on ap is to dump as many stacks as possible and then E cuz autos dont do much. Technically speaking, this playstyle is more burst oriented rather than consistent dps correct me if im wrong

[@Bsebt]

Don't forget his passive scales 3% to 18% AP depending on stacks and W slow scales on AP as well, and his passive damage is affected by riftmaker/haunting guise but I'm unsure however if it procs collector

[@Aguardiente]

@@r35ct12 Any time a champion builds AP, they're automatically more bursty than they would be otherwise, since it moves their damage from autos into abilities. AP Katarina, Twitch, Kaisa, Kayle, etc., are all more burst oriented compared to their AD builds

[@renneverbright]

Petu time! silly question here, would it not work to Q before E and accept the disempowering of the auto attacks in return for getting the energy refund and some damage? I assume that, well, several things could happen to make that either simply not worth or impractical to try, but it was the thing that immediately occurred to me and I am curious.

[@atsukki]

i was expecting that aswell tbh

[@cleaning3247]

[@RBCriven]

Matchups are my favorite part of the game in League (unless I'm facing Urgot/Gragas where I just get bored to death), and what I think is my strongest aspect in the game. Learning in-depths matchup, mastering and practicing them is just what I love the most. Adrian and I used to even call to watch some CN/KR pro players POV and see how they'd play this or that matchup, honestly that's the most enjoyable part of league to me. Although I don't play either of those in your video, that was really enjoyable!

[@jacekm5798]

I enjoy playing 1v1 even in bad matchups but when JG and mid shows up it's miserable. Especially when your team takes nothing back at the same time

[@alexandrepaulo266]

Bro i love your videos, your explanations are just insanely good to the point that unlike many other league videos i go back and forth to make sure i understand what you're saying, this format is perfect for you. Thanks for the content!

going from solorenekton to xpetu's commentary on their own games is night and day. i actually love how excited he is about the great duel.

[@froggydude5833]

if he records the voiceover after why can we hear his keyboard pressing abilities? Is he just playing silently with the microphone on XD

17:50 most brutal "high" elo 1v1

[@lilytemel4036]

Im just asling this to get told why it wouldnt work cause i dont know enough about either champ. But wouldnt Q before E work to get the empowered but not fully empowered AA if you are playing against a yasuo who is consistently hitting those Windwalls into your E. Like yeah you dont get the full value of pulling the blade through your opponent but you at least get something.

[@xPetu]

yeah you are right, it's just so hard to stop muscle memory of going for emp q :D

[@jacobgoldshmidt783]

Xpetu, I've made some passionate comments about changes needed for shen. I realize now that I have been building wrong and trying to get 6 q's off when I should prio more consistent 3 q trades/1 q grasp shield bash trades, my WR is back since I am exclusively looking for hallow and deadmans rush instead of bamis titanic rush. But man, I wish they'd revert q nerf from s13.

[@peterfalk7979]

I think you could make ACTUAL cooking content and it would still be really entertaining... Might Sound like "Look guys what I'm cooking here. the onions might be a Tough matchup but we should be able to Curry all the potatoes and still win this"😂😂😂

[@NickTheYits]

It's really frustrating how many champions can destroy Shen's mechanics with cc, movement speed etc. One of the main reasons I stopped playing the game. If love one of those champs that are not op you must be a masochist just to keep playing until you get good with your favorite champ.... Always better to just watch xPetu videos. Enjoy Shen and not get frustrated!

[@bat__bat]

17:48 you take a risk and you either end up ahead or behind :-/ This is your most underrated video by far. AND you just mentioned he might not be capable of the Yasuo duel. We humans are nothing if not crazy af.

90° angle mentioned @azzapp

[@cigutn]

IDK why am i watching these videos for months when I am not even a top player.. Never played top.. Are there any youtubers like xPetu that record on a support role?

[@RuneKatashima]

So why not just taunt and hold Q? He can't windwall while taunted, so Q after. You'll get less damage than the optimal combo but you can't do the optimal combo so some damage is better than 0. If he windwalls, he just wasted it and you still have Q.

[@MaverickMyth]

Windwall blocking Shen Q I can understand, but I still don't get why it removes the Drowsy condition of Lillia's ultimate.

[@ui8087]

I’m curious as to why xPetu didn’t just adapt and go for non-empowered Q’s when he knows Yasuo has windwall up and only going for the drag through Q’s when windwall was on cd.

[@asmorthius2534]

I'm recently having a whooping 65% WR using Shen mid, but the games that I lose is because me team doesn't have enough damage or a good carry so we ended up outscaled, what do you do in those circumstances boss?

[@incitatus634]

@XPetu Dzukill is the best Yasuo/Yone player in the world man. Hope you don't find him in challenger

[@shahargabay2808]

If the Yasuo is high IQ and constantly blocks Q after taunt, isn't it logical to Q before the taunt to get shield and semi-empowered attacks?

[@Skarsnikum]

The funny thing is : When a good yasuo use his windwall correctly, 100 random yasuo do the same thing just by pressing the button in panic

[@MainzPlus]

Absolutely high performamce both of you, now with this forbbbiden knowledge y shall rank *plays into Sett top 😐*

[@glenndiddy]

actually Twitch E deals magic damage based on 30% AP per stack. So building MR against AP twitch is the correct decision

[@xPetu]

Ah true! I remembered it did physical damage but it actually does both

[@adryelalves4501]

Does the item(forgot name) reduces Evelynn's critical strikes too? Or like shadowflame crits?

[@Randompikachuisblue1]

Twitch expunge is actually half magic and half physical damage, he also gets a fair bit of magic damage from nashors so magic resist isnt wasted against twitch, but the raw health is better imo

[@WTFyouDAMF]

Twitch E actually scales with AP to do magic damage and AD to do attack damage, so with AP Twitch, his E does do a lot of magic damage.

Hey Petu, one of your older Vids inspired me to take up shen jgl - so far I'm enjoying it a lot and enemy jgl usually completely underestimates shen dueling power. Mostly I play green jgl item into tiamat into titanic hydra into righter dead mans or force of nature. As keystone I use the one with attack speed for the first 3 autos for higher burst with q. Do you mind giving some feedback or suggestions? Ty in advance. And as always - absolutely enjoyable content ❤

[@juliencesttous6633]

I'm genuinely confused, you talk like you are viewing a record at 27:28 And on the e q flash of yasuo at 9:05 I can hear keyboard sounds, do you record your games with the keyboard sounds and actually make no breathing noise then talk other it ?

[@juliencesttous6633]

Over it*

[@Vanhaomena]

18:33 AP twitch deals about a 33/33/33 mix of true/magic/physical in a usual game, because the AP scaling goes to the magic damage part of the E. E has a hybrid scaling in which the AD goes to the physical and AP goes to magical damage dealt by the same spell.

[@NTD44]
