I think one of the very first videos I saw from Pekin was an AP Kog Maw game, instantly took it to a norm and had lots of fun. One of my favorite off meta picks by far
you cant silence smite@@alliu6562 and she has all wards up that whole time without using them which wouldve been infinitely better, poppy even pings her item
Even if it's not possible to get challenger this half season it has been a great journey and I know that the next season it'll be as great as this. Just keep it up
It's funny that this series just started because viewers keep asking him what champions to pick to climb out of low elo but now he's attempting to get challenger with this series. HappyChimeNoises should cover this.
appreciate the AP kog gameplay, if you're ever autofilled support I really-really recommend AP kog support, I main it myself. A thing I can recommend for even mid is swapping seraph's out for muramana - less safety but more damage full combos/poke even without using autos and even if you have rabadons. Muramana tech was picked up from elite500's kog and the math checked out. My go-to for squishier comps is ludens with early tear into hextech alternator, finish muramana if close to full tear or shadowflame instead. Liandry against beefier comps but it's much better late in general, I know a guy in masters goes hob muramana rush but still goes liandry's for late, hob is good for the enchanter lanes. Gameplay wise it's pretty aggressive and you want to fiesta it 247 to get flashes, return kills, then starve out mid and top with the lead
@@ilyasfarhan1802 sera mid is not meta at all in high elo. Grandmaster+ dont really play seraphine mid, its extremely rare and the build just makes it completely off-meta
Seeing the poppy with knights vow on you is just like... that never happens unless I decide to do it on Zac or something. The fact is that this is the first time I've seen someone other than me take knights vow and it was a jungler!?

@@xenowarrior_gd6912 Was a bit late today. UA-cam decided to notify me of the vid 25 minutes after it was posted. I usually arrive on the minute, but no biggie
poppy using her E made ashe flash to hopefully be out of kog range (or somethin), but pekin cast his R before all that so my guess would be it's just zoning, since he placed it where ashe was pathing to. Same ol "ult behind them to make them come close". Ashe could've just flashed away and outside kog R, but couldn't in the heat of the moment
@@SS1LAsLEGENDARY ph totally, brand is a great choice then. Just be careful, he can get counter picked by other control mages with higher range. Pekin has a new recent brand video on Pekinwoof2, if you want to watch some high level gameplay of it.
AP Kog can still work if you go with Nashor's Tooth attack speed route. His W does deal % health damage, so if you scale it, it will shred them. Yes, the main appeal is artillery, but building AP attack speed with Kog is 100% doable.
I used to play Ap kog maw a lot, but the changes to the ultimate made him worst for ap and better for ad. Also the game started to have a lot of champions with dashes that made it worse for this champion
At around 4:26, Pekin talks about why. I take the following into account when deciding between Liandry's and Luden's: - enemy team comp (Liandry's bonus dmg on targets with bonus HP is also worth considering) - champion identity (if they have 2 tanks but I'm a Vex, I might still go for Luden's if my job is to one-shot their squishies while the ADC deals with the tanks) - champion synergy (lots of AoE or spammable spells which allow you to refresh Liandry's burn over and over) - building healing reduction (every Liandry's tick will re-apply GW for a total of ~7 seconds) - CDR from Liandry's is really good on some champsy especially those who otherwise get very little of it - magic pen is of course amazing as well, but there are games where a Maw pretty much negates most of it, or it's also (rarely) possible to have more magic pen than their squishies have MR, in which case it would be over-kill (MR cannot be reduced below 0 by magic pen, only by flat magic armor reduction). But ever since the durability update, it rarely ever happens Liandry's burn also has flat dmg and an AP ratio on top of target max HP dmg, so it will also be effective against squishies if you can constantly re-apply it. Hope this somewhat helps, sorry for not being Pekin (:
@@Niklas_Th epic response. I often forget pen can not put mr into the negative. That's also a really good point about how frequently you can apply the burn, vs proc the burst. It matches kogs tempo better in general. I played this build after the video and it felt better than I remember.
@@jamsolid Glad it helped a bit! Yeah it's really worth considering if yiu have any AoE/low cooldown spells to apply Liandry's over and over again, or if your goal is to just delete people in one rotation (Syndra, Zoe, Vex...). Also as I watched on I noticed Pekin talks about magic pen another time, so since Kog's AP ratios aren't that high (0.7 on Q, E and empowered R), going for pure AP would probably result in less dmg increase than going for pen (considering the higher base numbers). I actually think 0.7 isn't too awful, but it's also not comparable to a full Xerath rotation for example. There's probably an argument to be made for both Luden's and Liandry's to work well for Kog'Maw to be honest (more bursty vs. lower CDs as only Kog's R reduces in cooldown when you level it up), you can see which one you prefer :)
Day 69 of asking Pekin to play full attack speed ahri for the off-meta climb!! THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S THE FUNNY NUMBER DAY!!! (I also would be happy just with it as a video, cause I know it's more of a troll pick this close to challenger)
I don't understand, why do people build rylais on kog, especially in this case, just build deathcap. It gives more damage, you don't need the slow, since you already have a slow on e. Hitting multiple r's in succession is the only thing I can think of, but then again if you could do that if you hit your e first or if you are skilled enough you can do that without rylais as well..
That Syndra player pinging to go mid when she's straight up better off on her own is insane. I hate when bot players ping for mid when it's nowhere near better for them to go mid, especially if they keep getting caught out like this Syndra. Kog alone in a side lane is just asking for an assassin to come and kill them.

Yeah i really like the playstyle
That Soraka was low-key the MVP.

what the fuck another deku link

the poppy jg from this video is the same as "that" rumble
off meta climb going great bro, almost chally with pretty bad picks. super impressive
keep it up
This is one of my favorite picks, honestly. Glad to see you rock it!
Yay! My idea from months ago was posted! I know you probably didn't see it, but I'm still happy. TY Pekin
Real ones know he accidentally uploaded this to his second channel, deleted it, the reuploaded it here >:3
Was hoping for a Morgana mid video from "actual god" Pekin soon. Thanks for the content!!
You should really try muramana on ap kog. The ults deal sooo much more damage, especially early game (giving you an insane lvl 11 spike)
I swear at this point Pekin is missing cannons on purpose as a humble brag
love how he blames syndra be he himself makes an even worse play
I like how u started calling out every mistake of syndra after she pinged u
Ah, I was wondering where did that PekinWoof2 video go...
Day 13 of asking for Seraphine with Ludens-Lich Bane-Rabadons for GIGANOTES
Isnt this meta? Sometimes Pekin matched against Sera in mid lane
@@ilyasfarhan1802 not this build though
@@ilyasfarhan1802 sera mid is not meta at all in high elo. Grandmaster+ dont really play seraphine mid, its extremely rare and the build just makes it completely off-meta
What do you mean for Giganotes?
@@tobiasberghaus9337her passive is that she snips notes at enemies, and with lich bane and max ap/max pen the notes really hurt
More Kog games let’s goooooo!
Yayyyy new video
the plays!!! ap kog is so satisfying to watch!
One more time pls love this kog ap gameplay
Seeing the poppy with knights vow on you is just like... that never happens unless I decide to do it on Zac or something. The fact is that this is the first time I've seen someone other than me take knights vow and it was a jungler!?
Kog'maw, the stinkest boy. It's like if Pekin made you a sandwich and delivered it to you himself.
Thoughts on Nasus Mid vs Top? Great videos btw!

@@xenowarrior_gd6912 Was a bit late today. UA-cam decided to notify me of the vid 25 minutes after it was posted. I usually arrive on the minute, but no biggie
I would really like to see some kind of hybrid build on Kog, where you go into ad or attackspeed later.
Also suggest tank/ad Kat.
Great job Pekin!!
Would like to see you play shyvana mid. I play her ap tank but first strike ap is fun too
Kog against their squishy comp was actually an incredible pick, gg wp.
(Edit: autocorrect changed Kog to Log)
Thé flash predict at 20:45 - was that an accident or just a mind bendingly good play?
Prob both and a little bit of zoning
poppy using her E made ashe flash to hopefully be out of kog range (or somethin), but pekin cast his R before all that so my guess would be it's just zoning, since he placed it where ashe was pathing to. Same ol "ult behind them to make them come close". Ashe could've just flashed away and outside kog R, but couldn't in the heat of the moment
The Soraka kill at 34:05 is just so funny to me (Edit: its redemption, not echoes)
Feels like Redemption got the kill
It's like if xerath always had his R and could move while casting
Soraka kinda ate all game and saved Jax hard that last fight
u make me nuts your picks are insane ap kog is so fun
Need to bring out the heimer for that final stretch
YOOOOOO MORGANA MID (EVEN IF IT'S ON THE ENEMY TEAM)

Awesome vid! Question, what ap picks do you recommend against tank heavy enemy comps?
Brand if you like control mages and Gwen if you like AP bruisers are my guesses
@@alliu6562 Thanks! Ill try Brand out. Lately, sion's and Mundo's have been scaling so hard its almost impossible to win once they've ramped up.

why didnt u go ludens when their entire team is squishy?
Try on-hit kog mid next, mb with manamune or seraph, lots of fun.

Full ad sion mid?
It's been a long time... How about a zilean mid game? It's still off meta
pog'maw
666 lp. why no teemo?
so no bard mid, at least for the remainder of this split :(
Anyone see the poppy script dodge at 27:00. Dodges morg Q with no vision
Tank Neeko Enjoyer
Why would someone pick a Poppy jungle just to afk farm? Seems like you'd wanna pick literally anything but a tank for that
Morgana mid would be a good off meta pick
anyone think Kog would be good top? seems oppressive
Good luck dude, challenger soon ❤
Please play Seraphine Mid Day 30 or smth 🤷🏻♀️

Another day of asking for Tank/mage Neeko support day 2.
I don't understand, why do people build rylais on kog, especially in this case, just build deathcap. It gives more damage, you don't need the slow, since you already have a slow on e. Hitting multiple r's in succession is the only thing I can think of, but then again if you could do that if you hit your e first or if you are skilled enough you can do that without rylais as well..
With rylais you can just R from 2 screens away 100 to 0 anyone who's walking on a ward
He said in the video that the ap ratios aren't good enough to warrant deathcap
