@pekinwoof you cant bush camp a tryndamere. His W ability lights up on hotbar if enemy champ is in range, even without vision @37:30

[@ehliace3796]

I think pekin new that he knew from that. He just forgot to explain it. good bit of info for everyone to read in the comments though!

[@ggGetSniped]

@@ehliace3796 he is very knowledgeable, so odds are you're right; just thought it was weird as he's usually very informative and narrative of his thought process/specific mechanics. Maybe Pekin just expected a low elo Tryn to be ignorant of that mechanic or something.

[@beckhampang191]

That's insane that your team squared up 4v5 no complaints just stayed united and played through. It should be the norm but with how many whining people saying go next after 1 bad play alone... So refreshing.

[@f4erie_]

frl. every stayed cool, that’s so rare.

[@hteety]

I mean, I don't think wanting to stay in a 4v5 has to be the norm. Games aren't usually a lot of fun when they are inherently unbalanced and a 4v5 is like playing a different game. I don't mind surrendering in these cases.

[@Blankisnotalwayswhite]

The thing you said about making her Q faster (which is called fast Q combo) is not gone and you were doing it pretty consistently on the herald at 15:40. Also you said something about buffering riven W and R during her E (which is called Double Casting if you want to search on youtube there are some short videos explaining it), that also is still in the game. And if you want to play more riven I suggest you to learn the Q Delay mechanic on her which is very important and help you in lane and trading (I would say it's the most important thing you need + her Fast Q) Also great video as always

[@Smoth48]

I came here just for this... He's literally doing it on herald and I'm like "oh shit he knows the tech" lol

[@朕是神]

The fast Q combo was removed somewhere around season 5~7. Before, by weaving Q and move between autos, you cna auto faster than if you just let it auto. Now all you can do is not slow down the auto, and newer players who had no idea about the old riven refers to it as fast Q combo anyways, since not slowing down auto is still a big deal.

[@Blankisnotalwayswhite]

@@朕是神 bro the fast Q still exist and I'm doing it for the past 3 year playing riven and even pekin was doing it

[@joshuaharris2245]

This is already everything I expected out of the series and more. Seeing what a talented mid laner can do top lane with unfamiliar(and even familiar) picks. I'm curious if you're going to hit a bump at some point and how long it will take for you to adapt once you start playing vs people with good fundamentals AND know the top lane tricks well.

[@Giraffe88]

that first kill was literally a tutorial on how to play. thank you

[@shieldgenerator7]

[@meowiewowee]

Double feature! Awesome, thanks Pokemon guy!

[@Degnique]

Lets gooo Riven!! Ah Pekin a cool trick you can do with Riven is just use her two Qs on nothing before initiating a trade with her Q3, and by the time you finish using E and W, her Q should be back up again, more or less. That way not only you get an additional interruption knocking up right away but also more consistent damage in prolonged trades! You can win vs most lane bullies with this, especially my boi Darius since you will be away from his outer edge Q and his Q cooldown won't be back that soon, so you can roll em. Oh just another thing, not about Riven but with Aatrox you can do a similar thing with his Qs too but use Q1 on nothing just to have the bigger area Q2 for harassing and only use his Q3 when you know you can hit it because of the longer cooldown! His Qs reset the cooldown every time you use 1, 2 and 3 but Riven's do not, that's why with her you can just spam Q1 and 2 and have the Q3 prepared. Sorry for the long post. I hope it helps!

[@samcook8055]

Long time subscriber first time commenter, partly for the algorithm partly because I want to see a Renekton game. Love the videos really enjoying the off role format. Keep it up Pekin!

[@noxiegel]

you can also delay your q's to bait so after your q3 ur q is up again

[@noxiegel]

and if youre struggling to q3 on walls you can just e to the wall and q3 to easily hop on walls

[@techrider5733]

Hey Pekin. Which website do you normally use for looking up builds and/or win rates for Champs? There's a lot of them out there and most of the time they all say something a bit different from each other so I was just wondering which you prefer.

[@theangler1922]

If I had to guess your ACTUAL worst champion is Gangplank. As that's a champion you actually need to practice and be good at the mechanics. Which is why you should take the free wins with Renata Glasc top.

[@hteety]

GP is a champion he likely has at least some experience with mid, so I doubt it's his worst even if it is a hard champ in a vacuum.

[@may21s]

Dunno if you mention it later on the video but you can WQ or RQ instantly after E animation finishes, I think the window is a full second after the dash ends (can even fit an AA inbetween the E and WQ, and also do ER+AA+WQ)

Welcome to gold elo lmao Edit: made my comment b4 watching, even around plat it happens tho. highest I ever reached was low-mid diamond and the worst afk in a row experience I ever had was 7 in a row with an afk at around gold elo. Only happened once to have a chain like that out of thousands of games, but still ridiculous that it ever happened. Usually at worst it's 2 to 4 games in a row of afks if I'm having a particularly bad week of games. 2 afk in a row is pretty common at the elo you're at tho

This has got to be the most tame player to ever grace challenger, I hate how many kill opportunities he's missing all the time.

[@chita8908]

once, i had 3 ppl go afk on my team in a ranked game (gold) . A Riven and I (playing as Diana jng, pre-rework, so she didn't have the aoe ult) almost managed to win the game as 2 vs 5, so i think that a fed Riven can easily take the place of one person who is afk 😂 (jk cause im sure in higher ranks it's way harder to pull something like this off). I'm not playing lol anymore but I still enjoy watching your videos.

[@mrjohnjung]

Climbing to top as challenger 😂

I will remain a mystery how you are able to just accept everything and keep on playing to win.

[@johndelanie3649]

I played like 7 Riven games and she felt too weak early for what she is late game. I feel like Urgot is better for getting out of low elo.
