Back when Riot sponsored smallers tournaments I actually was on a ranked team all Plat1+ and I accidentally took my AD runes on Ahri one time and just rolled with it and we won. Granted this was way way back but good to see it still works out.
I’ve been loving playing speedy Rell jungle and would love to see you try it, it’s faster than Hecarim. Runes are predator and relentless hunter, secondary is celerity and water walking. Go the blue jungle item and then rush dead man’s plate with mobi boots. You can run all over the map constantly ganking when mounted, it’s really funny to see. Or go glacial with boots and relentless so it’s more supporty.
Good stuff on the vid. Next champ recommendation would be on-hit Cho'gath. No clue if it would work, but something like hail of blades with nashors, wit's end, maybe e max. If anyone can make it work, it is Pekin.
I think triforce seems stronger compared to the essence reaver, I was thinking maybe manamune second? And then you could go for a black cleaver because the manamune would add some physical damage to all your abilities which would proc the BC armor shred, plus the haste and movespeed. Or you could go for BoRK because you don’t have a crit mythic so you don’t really need the crit items. Good stuff as always pekin!
23:13 how on earth is Cho 1 for 10 and doing 765 damage from one R, hes so far behind its crazy, 2 levels behind and just behind in the game in general. madness, i would hate to think of the damage he could do if he was level yet alone ahead. riot balancing is kinda special, I tell you now if an ADC is that far behind he may as well go AFK because he cant do shit, but top lane just all out tank and damage, doesn't matter if you got slapped in lane.
Great video, thanks for uploading! I thought the Rengar + Ori play at 10:58 was amazing (whether done intentionally or not), but so was how you fought Cho'Gath at 13:24 onwards. Very clean!
It would cool to see Statikk Shiv Sera Mid from you. 1. Pen Boots 2. Ludens 3. Shadow Flame 4. Lich Bane 5. Statikk Shiv 6. Death cap The Idea: Your passive provides you notes when you cast your abilities. The notes provide ATTACK RANGE, based on how many you have. You can easily have Caitlyn levels of range. So when you have extra range, you pop your Lich Bane + Shiv on someone for crazy, point-and-click damage. Its basically just AP Sera until Item 4. You could try Shiv 3rd item though, I'm curious to see how you pilot this build and what runes you think would go with this.
Also I've been enjoying these off meta videos from you. Its cool to not only see some interesting strats, but then see them done well and even explained. Thanks for always being so indepth.
I have only ever oneshot (as opposed to one-combo) someone from full twice in my entire time playing League. Once was a Veigar R on a Fiddlesticks. The other was a Lich Bane Seraphine autoattack on a Senna. The note range and damage is crazy. I can totally see Shiv synergizing with the Lich Bane Seraphine play style.
@@KalasenZyphurus seraphine isnt usually a champ who one shots people so people usually dont respect her insane note range. i played the one shot with auto seraphine and one shot an ashe with only q + auto
Saying that as an actually seraphine mid main, this build seems kinda funny but he will probably never be able to show this build with 4 or 5 items. Seraphine will have in most games a lack of gold. Yes she has insane wave clear and will most likely get an avg cs of 9 or 10 but her dmg is way to less compared to others to actually get the kills in team fights. Tried out a lot on sera and imo i would swap the shadowflame with an rylais. Not only because of the guaranteed root, but also because of more sustain, plus a 400 gold cheaper item. It also doesnt reduce seras dmg that much. Also she will live longer in a fight letting her do more dmg. But as i said you will most likely not get full build so i doubt you will see good clips if pekin would try this build. He probably wont even play it bc sera gameplay is kinda boring to watch.
AD Ahri was fun to watch. You know how to counter AD champs? a lot of defense. Doctor Mundo is in the house and taking over the midlane (maybe). Mundo midlane, please :)
remember voyboy used to play that shit and build statik shiv first, then i think essence into IE. was dope af. i'm sure statik is back it works fine again
I’m so glad to see you following in the steps of Legitkorea ✨ ad ahri *is* pretty strong, bc you have self peel, a speed up, a heal, and three dashes. (It’s not an off meta pick you’d get rank 1 with, but it’s not as bad as other mages being played ad/on hit).
The off meta stuff is really helping me, I'm guessing most people who watch you play midlane mages. The series is really helping me learn what other champions do. I guess the ahri video is probably not the best example. But just seeing the skills of the other champions like udyr that I'd never pick makes me so much more aware. Its very helpful!
Amazing video! I have two suggestions: - AD Leblanc ; - On-hit Lux : building Nashor's Tooth and Statik and playing around her passive to one shot people with enhanced AA
Day 28 of asking Pekin to play full attack speed ahri for the off-meta climb!! We were so close with today's build, now I'm hoping for the guinsoo's version :)
Would love to see you play AD On Hit TF mid. Been enjoying it as a pretty strong 1v1 duelist/splitpusher. Has good kite potential imo. I've been running Lethal Tempo, PoM, Alacrity and either Coup De Grace or Cut Down and switching secondary tree based on matchup. I've been building Zerker Greaves -> BoRK -> Guinsoo -> Runaans -> Wits End/Kraken, would be interesting to see how you feel about the build path or if you think the item order should be changed.
Tbh...the snide remark of "OTP Qiyanna losing to AD ahri" kinda sent me. Like, pekin walked all over their whole team. He is a plat player surrounded by Diamond players and they are so tilted out of their skulls over the loss that they can't put 2 and 2 together that he is hard smurfing and just a better player. I swear, plat and diamond elo are a totally different level of entitled LoL players. Makes me smile to watch Pekin smurf on em and do it with the chillest commentary on youtube. Good video.
I think this is by far my favorite video of the series, I'd really enjoy seeing more of it if you feel like playing it again before the series end, great series pekin!
Yo man Pekin crit-lethality Quinn mid is what I've been popping off with inside Platinum elo, so if you see this you should give it a try. Electrocute, Sudden Impact, Eyeball Collector, Treasure Hunter Absolute Focus, Gathering Storm Youmuu's Ghostblade, Berserk's Grieves, Collector, Lord Dominik's, Prowler's, Essence Reaver
I hadn't noticed before but I think that Snowmoon Ahri is kind of pay-to-lose, the E has a pathway that appears the moment you cast it before it gets launched on the ground, shows exactly where it's gonna go, and none of her other skins have a feature like that. Also, Ahri passive activating at max charges triggers sheen items apparently? 10:29
I remember playing AD Kassadin back when his W gave you 90 armor pen. How great that would be with quickblades. Some AP champions have skill set that would make them 100% AD carry in DotA - cuz it’s not about dmg skills, it’s about utility while you slap them
Suggesting full AP Mordekaiser again. Rocketbelt into ult with huge Q bonks would be funny. I've hardly ever seen a full AP Mordekaiser, they usually build tank.
Hey Pekin you should include champion auto attack range into the matchup debrief before laning phase. You can press the shop to see more stats and see auto attack range, major pen armor pen etc.
It is absolutely insane to me that essentially manipulating poor mental has to be part of any good player's toolkit these days. There's baiting people to play worse by challenging their egos (at least they still play the game out in that case), but this is something else entirely because it revolves around the lame surrender option League has. The fact that players can essentially strategize around the fact that people can/will FF is just... mind blowingly silly & to me shows Riot really needs to step something up. They go on about "competitive integrity", but have created a Ranked environment in which mind games can prevail over the damn *gameplay* itself, and I just don't think that's a good spot for the game to be in.
Try tanky ahri with liandry as only ap item. Well, maybe with demonic vs 2+ chunky guys or mask as MR item. Pretty funny to just dash around and be annoing since enemy cannot focus you fast.
Rell got a buff for jungle in a microparch yesterday... I already tried her with everfrost+lucidity and cosmic drive. She's not strong, but for sure she's fun as hell
Hey pekin, I've been enjoying the series a lot so far! Dunno if asking this is inappropriate, but has it helped the channel a bit? I felt really sad to know you started losing subs :‹ Thought of asking it now that a couple of weeks have passed since the off meta climb started
Ngl probably would never work (and bear in mind that I’m an iron player) maybe renata mid? Play for team fights like a support and her E has some good trade potential. Any other input on this idea is welcomed!
Ever since you bought Essence Reaver it recovered 37 mana while E costs 30. If you're not about to fight there's literally no reason to not use it on cooldown, especially on towers XD
The most crazy thing about ihis, is that my bronze ass is looking at this and thinks: why does it looks so eazy and effortless. Like I get and see how pekin plays amazingly but it really looks too clean and ez in my opinion! Don't make me want to try this... haha
Pekin I need to admit I really enjoy this off-meta climb and it makes my day better when I see a new upload. I really hope you enjoy this climb too!
Same is very refreshing and also pretty informative
me too i look forward to seeing who he plays
Imo, Pekin did all that challenger stuff so he can give the people what they want
True, best content pekin ever made (right after goes maid pekin)
@@michawesoek3255 right _after?_ huh, strange to have that kind of opinion...
This is such a cool series. I'm so glad it's happening and even seems to be working!
just discovered you today, and youre already my favorite league youtuber. great gameplay and even better commentary, thank u!🎉
Back when Riot sponsored smallers tournaments I actually was on a ranked team all Plat1+ and I accidentally took my AD runes on Ahri one time and just rolled with it and we won. Granted this was way way back but good to see it still works out.
im really enjoying seeing different ways champs are played. i know AP ahri is strong right now but seeing you kick ass with her AD is sick
Pekin you always upload such high quality games, you're a gem
Love seeing you enjoy making these videos
I’ve been loving playing speedy Rell jungle and would love to see you try it, it’s faster than Hecarim. Runes are predator and relentless hunter, secondary is celerity and water walking.

"I don't want to scare her I want to her to feel comfortable in her lane" proceeds to kill her while still in this sentence xD I love this series!
definitely need to see a nautilus jungle on your next auto fill now, gotta descend further into the intrusive thoughts…
The off-meta climb has been so fun to watch! Keep it going!!
I like the educational content. I'm learning league. If this was a lesson in college, I would gladly just sit there and listen.
Pekin thank you for this series, I really do enjoy it man!
I've just seen the thumbnail and i feel like at least i've found pick for my next midlane game and at best i've found my new main x)
Good stuff on the vid. Next champ recommendation would be on-hit Cho'gath. No clue if it would work, but something like hail of blades with nashors, wit's end, maybe e max. If anyone can make it work, it is Pekin.
one of the better series in league, this off meta climb
I think triforce seems stronger compared to the essence reaver, I was thinking maybe manamune second? And then you could go for a black cleaver because the manamune would add some physical damage to all your abilities which would proc the BC armor shred, plus the haste and movespeed.

Good stuff as always pekin!
Very impressive and entertaining ahri gameplay!
yayyy, new video!!! your videos make me happy pekin
Mr Pekin. Its another video, and another comment of me requesting Urgot mid or Urgot jungle. Thanks for the videos!
I'm shocked at how well some of these builds works, I could see an AD neeko but I never have guessed you could do it with ahri as well
One of your best videos
that was pretty freaking good, i was in no way prepared for the terror that is ad ahri, apparently lol
AD Leblanc always a vibe
Dude, the 1vCho on 13:20 was sth unreal.
Any chance for a possible AP GP video with the new items and statikk shiv?
Amazing video!!
You know...seeing a Draven player do well bot lane only to get tower dive killed by AD Ahri, I'm amazed he didn't mental boom and disconnect
54:00 always make this far🫡
ahri is always a really fun character to watch gameplay off. would love to see sona mid in the future
Probably the cleanest league player
I know the Shyvana mid is coming, I can feel it
surprised we havent seen ap jax mid yet on this climb
Triforce usually goes well with sterak's and bloodthirster
Commenting because UA-cam for some reason knocked you out of my front page. Ugh the algorithm sucks sometimes.
23:13 how on earth is Cho 1 for 10 and doing 765 damage from one R, hes so far behind its crazy, 2 levels behind and just behind in the game in general. madness, i would hate to think of the damage he could do if he was level yet alone ahead. riot balancing is kinda special, I tell you now if an ADC is that far behind he may as well go AFK because he cant do shit, but top lane just all out tank and damage, doesn't matter if you got slapped in lane.
Ap Lucian maybe? He has a 90% ap ratio on his W and a small one on his R
*smashes the keyboard with the forehead just to send any random comment and improve pekin's algorithm
"he ate me so fast there"
🤨🤨🤨
Me seeing a cool off meta build, trying it, all my lanes losing, ff at 15 min xD
Kayn/Rhaast top/mid plz
Love the LDR buy. That was definitely the best choice this game, especially with Draven on Tri-force giving him extra HP.
Do you own all league skins??
I am once again asking for Hail of Blades Malphite mid
Try AD attack speed crit Malphite
11:31 me after going 0/27 on ghost/cleanse AP Nunu Mid
i will continue to ask for assassin Renekton mid for this entire series
Pekin, I wanna play Lillia on lane, will you show me how?
Wp dude as usual, please pick qyana ap next time
how about some ad lulu next? xD
Runes at 2:40
Last week : Ahri should be played like a support player late game. This week : AHRI GO BRRR BRR BRRRRR
Hey everybody, welcome to the next comentary. Today we are playing AD Ahri mid lane on our off-meta to master tier account
This account is currently Platinum 1 90 LP, so if we win this game we should be onto our promos for Diamond
Um, basically the whole entire my team and the enemy team is diamond
So... Like MMR wise we're already there but I guess uh...
For our own ranking we're - we're pretty close. "inhales" Um, playing vs an Orianna honestly, could be a difficult one.
Orianna - if I'm gonna be playing AD Ahri, and I'm playing off of auto attacking people, that means I have to walk towards her
Great video, thanks for uploading!
I thought the Rengar + Ori play at 10:58 was amazing (whether done intentionally or not), but so was how you fought Cho'Gath at 13:24 onwards. Very clean!
Ori-Rengar actually used to be quite the combo in pro play back when he was fully invis and you couldn't see him at all.
It would cool to see Statikk Shiv Sera Mid from you.
1. Pen Boots
2. Ludens
3. Shadow Flame
4. Lich Bane
5. Statikk Shiv
6. Death cap

@@tes_kirito4281 The main difficulty of this build will be getting lich bane, shiv, and a mythic before the game ends.
13:24 fight was insane. You landed every skill shot and dodged all of his Qs
AD Ahri was fun to watch. You know how to counter AD champs? a lot of defense. Doctor Mundo is in the house and taking over the midlane (maybe). Mundo midlane, please :)
Ksante mid is the most common pdf playstyle champ that does just that.
I think you should try AD leblanc! I know we've only seen it in top lane but I feel like it would totally work in mid lane like ahri
I have played it 5 times top and its pretty decent, but hard to play vs tankies. Think mid should be ok for pekin when he knows how to juke :)
remember voyboy used to play that shit and build statik shiv first, then i think essence into IE. was dope af. i'm sure statik is back it works fine again
I’m so glad to see you following in the steps of Legitkorea ✨ ad ahri *is* pretty strong, bc you have self peel, a speed up, a heal, and three dashes. (It’s not an off meta pick you’d get rank 1 with, but it’s not as bad as other mages being played ad/on hit).

loving the 2 games in 1 video that you've been doing! Plus this series is great. WW mid please
I yearn for AP Zeri again. Because of your previous vids, she became my favourite mid. My heart is now empty. Void of enjoyment.
Yeah I also don't like to actually play the game so bring back AP master Yi.
rightt i was having so much fun, idk why they nerfed her it’s not like she was overtly powerful. She was just fun.
Did Pekin play Skarner mid? No.
Lose Streak: 565
I guess we'll have to wait until Skarner gets his well deserved
Amazing video! I have two suggestions:
- AD Leblanc ;
- On-hit Lux : building Nashor's Tooth and Statik and playing around her passive to one shot people with enhanced AA
I did not expect a pop off like that with AD arhi
Ad ahri is so enjoyable to watch. Easily my favourtie out of all off-meta picks so far
I was just about to suggest ADrianna on the previous video. Or at least on hit Orianna to try and utilize her passive
Day 28 of asking Pekin to play full attack speed ahri for the off-meta climb!!
We were so close with today's build, now I'm hoping for the guinsoo's version :)
This seriously is so fun, It would be really cool to see a full ap support played mid. Like full ap nami or sona would be super fun to see!
pekin i love this series so much!
Would love to see you play AD On Hit TF mid. Been enjoying it as a pretty strong 1v1 duelist/splitpusher. Has good kite potential imo. I've been running Lethal Tempo, PoM, Alacrity and either Coup De Grace or Cut Down and switching secondary tree based on matchup.

I love how you invest in cool skins for every champ you play! Really makes me more interested in watching. Keep it up Pekin, loving the climb. :)
I think this is by far my favorite video of the series, I'd really enjoy seeing more of it if you feel like playing it again before the series end, great series pekin!
Thank you for the consistent educational and entertaining content Pekin, have a great day! >:3
Yo man Pekin crit-lethality Quinn mid is what I've been popping off with inside Platinum elo, so if you see this you should give it a try.
Electrocute, Sudden Impact, Eyeball Collector, Treasure Hunter
Absolute Focus, Gathering Storm
Youmuu's Ghostblade, Berserk's Grieves, Collector, Lord Dominik's, Prowler's, Essence Reaver
I love how you give kudos to not just your team but the enemy team when they play well. Fantastic video
Great job! Would be cool to see quick blades Leona stunning her way through mid :)
we need a tank-mo (Tank Teemo) mid for the series
Appreciate all the hard work you put in for the two-for-one videos. The off-meta climb has been a real treat to watch.
Loving this series and this might have been one of my favorite videos yet. No one expected the plays in those games and it looked awesome!
I hadn't noticed before but I think that Snowmoon Ahri is kind of pay-to-lose, the E has a pathway that appears the moment you cast it before it gets launched on the ground, shows exactly where it's gonna go, and none of her other skins have a feature like that.
Also, Ahri passive activating at max charges triggers sheen items apparently? 10:29
I remember playing AD Kassadin back when his W gave you 90 armor pen.
How great that would be with quickblades.
Some AP champions have skill set that would make them 100% AD carry in DotA - cuz it’s not about dmg skills, it’s about utility while you slap them
Great vid. Ahris kit is soooo good ad, if only she had ad ratios.
Would love to see if you could make Statikk shiv Ahri with lich bane work. 2 ap ratios on your autos
I know its an off meta build but doesnt an AP auto attack Ahri build not make more sense with Rageblade + Nash + Lich?
Suggesting full AP Mordekaiser again. Rocketbelt into ult with huge Q bonks would be funny. I've hardly ever seen a full AP Mordekaiser, they usually build tank.
Hey Pekin you should include champion auto attack range into the matchup debrief before laning phase. You can press the shop to see more stats and see auto attack range, major pen armor pen etc.
It is absolutely insane to me that essentially manipulating poor mental has to be part of any good player's toolkit these days. There's baiting people to play worse by challenging their egos (at least they still play the game out in that case), but this is something else entirely because it revolves around the lame surrender option League has. The fact that players can essentially strategize around the fact that people can/will FF is just... mind blowingly silly & to me shows Riot really needs to step something up. They go on about "competitive integrity", but have created a Ranked environment in which mind games can prevail over the damn *gameplay* itself, and I just don't think that's a good spot for the game to be in.
Try tanky ahri with liandry as only ap item. Well, maybe with demonic vs 2+ chunky guys or mask as MR item. Pretty funny to just dash around and be annoing since enemy cannot focus you fast.
Rell got a buff for jungle in a microparch yesterday... I already tried her with everfrost+lucidity and cosmic drive. She's not strong, but for sure she's fun as hell
Hey pekin, I've been enjoying the series a lot so far!
Dunno if asking this is inappropriate, but has it helped the channel a bit? I felt really sad to know you started losing subs :‹
Thought of asking it now that a couple of weeks have passed since the off meta climb started
Ngl probably would never work (and bear in mind that I’m an iron player) maybe renata mid? Play for team fights like a support and her E has some good trade potential. Any other input on this idea is welcomed!
In game 1 - your cho Q sidesteps are so quick man, damn. I've played this game for like 10 years and I still click ON abilities when I see them, lmao.
Hey Pekin, I know I’m late to comment, but I would find it really interesting to see how hybrid Ahri with guinsoo’s would play :)
Ever since you bought Essence Reaver it recovered 37 mana while E costs 30. If you're not about to fight there's literally no reason to not use it on cooldown, especially on towers XD
The most crazy thing about ihis, is that my bronze ass is looking at this and thinks: why does it looks so eazy and effortless. Like I get and see how pekin plays amazingly but it really looks too clean and ez in my opinion! Don't make me want to try this... haha
Pekins videos are the best.
Clearly shows the rank of the game. Doesn’t have click bait. And educational!
Cool Series. How about AP Akshan mid for the off-meta climb? Nashors, Lichbane, Rageblade etc
Pekin live the series- play zeri any way mid! Maybe go for some crazy on hit build? Statik shiv for true battery power
