They did. But how many do you think are still keeping that up? Long time ago somewhere was a comment the memory of groups of people - that time in relation to disasters basically forgotten in the news - is about 3 weeks. Has hold up every time I bothered to check.
@@MinorZero yeah people aren't banning her anymore but just like with disasters, there's still a lasting stigma afterwards. its like when you see a spider in a new area you've never seen them be before. you may have killed it 3 months ago, but you continue to at least glance in that area now. with ahri I think it happened so much, gotta remember NA ban rate nearly hit 30%, that people have a lasting stigma against playing ahri. no ones banning her but people aren't willingly picking her because they're still used to her being banned every game and the overall bad taste it left knowing the boycott failed, at least in their target region of China. it's like how for a few years after 9/11 it was socially illegal to make any jokes about it, but now, 20 years later, everyone jokes about it and generally no one gets too upset over it. it'll pass in time but I don't think 3 weeks is enough considering how long ahri was getting banned for.
In the third game, Camille getting the shutdown was welcomed by "EZ gold reset" She then proceeded to not die for the next quarter of an hour. What a journey!
1:45 Good news! You did not in fact give up First Blood, due to your afk Yi. So you only traded 1 for 1. A small thing but I get that Yi dying so early just slipped your mind there.
I like that Zed kills 3 people consecutively, the score is 10 to 3, and he doesn't give a shutdown. Thanks riot. The bounty system makes a lot of sense. And then Vlad's shutdown is only 300 gold...
@40:40 This is why people don't play Ahri much anymore. Charm missile speed too slow in a high MS meta. Watch it in 1/2 speed, Jhin reacts to sidestep after the charm is launched and still evades it and it was square on point by Pekin. Almost had a Camille redemption arc too that 2nd game but as Pekin stated early on Graves a bad choice vs that team comp (didn't see draft so maybe just countered).
If zed gets fed a fun way to come back is when he ults just R under tower and charm. You’ll still die but likely get a shutdown. Granted this works in gold games.
5:28 Isn't this a sell Doran's Ring to get full Malignance buy angle? Because having a completed item is so impactful, especially if it's Malignance. What's your opinion on selling the starting item?
Hey Pekin, if you want a new suggestion for an off-meta champion, I'd love to see you play Maokai AP because I really like building him AP even though he gets nerfed every now and then. And I'm wondering if he's playable in pro play or even mid. (I'm not a pro, to be clear 😂)
Unfortunately for ahri after the river skirmish tf has teleport coming back full hp with items while ahri has a pushing lane with no hp and no mana which means tf can easily kill ahri. Perkin is saying if he presses q on the remaining casters he won't have enough mana to kill the next wave before tf shows up with to AND more importantly he will be further up in the lane so tf can run him down with a tank by waiting for the next full wave to crash he can Q and W and mostly delete the wave. Apologies if I've explained wrong but he doesn't want to shove with what remaining mana anywhere close to TF tower the further back he is the safer he is
watching the 2nd game, just wondering do you ever watch these games back to see what you could've done better? you were a pro and you're multi-season challenger, so obviously you're excellent at the game, but i'm curious if you critique your play.
I feel like the $500 ahri ban craze actually had a lasting affect. I basically never see ahris anymore and she's not getting banned anymore think it just left a bad taste in everyone's mouth so people don't play her as much.
Played her in two games and my conclusion is that i suck with her. In a world full of strong champs with lock on stuns or high aoe damage why tf would I pick Ahri? That's why we don't play her.
i have a strong feeling he guessed that zed used w out of vision from tri bush in bot lane before he rotated up to mid, but it's not obvious, and the face he makes after zed uses it is like "shit i might have been wrong"
Back when I was gold 4 a few weeks ago Some Plat K'Sante one trick played him mid against me as Ahri he cheesed me but ACTUALLY fell off in the late game and we won Vlad when Camille killed him: EASY GOLD RESET Camille then grabbing every single shutdown
16:07 The epic shop journey all the way from Cosmic Drive to Cosmic Drive
Confused Pine Marten
This and more is why Pekin is the best
thats hilarious xD
i didnt even notice that
“He didn’t [...] react [...] to the five people reacting to him” is hilariously quotable.
Pekin when a teammate uses any champion; “that champ sucks.”
Pekin when he uses the champ; “ super broken.”
Pekin's broken. 🤷♂
Thanks for the upload I was doom scrolling and now I have something to watch before sleeping
unfortunately real
Pekin: "300 damage on Ezreal ult is kind of a lot"
Also Pekin: *doing 300+ dmg with 1 Q*
16:08 bro just went on a sidequest to come back to the item he was already hovering
somebody get this old man a map
I laughed at Camille's name being "Borro Cassette" lmao
what does it mean
@@JikooFDsong name
@@alihax3 It also means "(he/she) erased the cassette", as in "forgetting something"
@@RafaelGarcia022 yeah either way a very latino expression
We love your uploads. Thank you.
Isn't Ahri not as popular because people want to spite Rito for the outrageous price of her Legendary Faker skin being close to $500?
Only on reddit
They did. But how many do you think are still keeping that up?

Literally was gonna watch a video that I didn't watch posted 3 days ago, then this video popped up. Thanks pekin!
yasss upload more cvnty champions i need to be fed
I like that Zed kills 3 people consecutively, the score is 10 to 3, and he doesn't give a shutdown. Thanks riot. The bounty system makes a lot of sense.
And then Vlad's shutdown is only 300 gold...
Finally ahriii I was waiting for this so long🥰

PekinWoof be like: Hi I’m PekinWoof
hey everybody welcome to the next commentary today we are playing some ahri mid versus a twisted fate
Uh, unfortunately I had to base because I got a little bit chunked because the enemy team killed my Master Yi who was AFK inside of the brush
@@yuuri-wr4etbecause the enemy killed my master yi
He didn't really react at all to the 5 people reacting to HIM and uh just immediately died
So started Q....
@Mishinowo So...starting Q. Unfortunate first miss. I definitely should land at least 1 part of my Q. So...
Bit sad that I missed that.
Hey everybody welcome to the next bedtime story
Man that Vlad thought he was tough.
"just land charm" and you win almost every fight.
Well that's the hard part with all the mobility creep.
Pro tip: Let your Lux bind them first, if ever.
5:28 Isn't this a sell Doran's Ring to get full Malignance buy angle? Because having a completed item is so impactful, especially if it's Malignance. What's your opinion on selling the starting item?
probably because of the mana dorans ring gives
@@Kikkia2018 Yes, but my point is that having a completed Malignance is better than having the additional mana.
7:05 jumpscare warning
Fighting Ahri is the ultimate in high-pressure skill shot dodging. You'll take some W+R damage, but you're not dying if Q and E miss.
Hey Pekin, if you want a new suggestion for an off-meta champion, I'd love to see you play Maokai AP because I really like building him AP even though he gets nerfed every now and then. And I'm wondering if he's playable in pro play or even mid. (I'm not a pro, to be clear 😂)
Everyone else plays ahri so gracefully. I just feed.
Hey Pekin great vid. Can you explain not immediately shoving @5:00? I don’t fully understand your explanation
Unfortunately for ahri after the river skirmish tf has teleport coming back full hp with items while ahri has a pushing lane with no hp and no mana which means tf can easily kill ahri.

Day 33 of asking Pekin to upload a video of him reading a bedtime story.
Not Camille "Borró Cassette" by Maluma 😭😭
Second game was rough. They had your skillshot playbook wide open
Ap garen when
Yeah yeah, Ahri is nice and all, but let's see how good he fares with lethality Syndra...
@@eldonad Did I just hear tank Yuumi top?
@@hoaxygen new meta, S tier in Korea

Love me some late night pookie Pekin
I feel like the $500 ahri ban craze actually had a lasting affect. I basically never see ahris anymore and she's not getting banned anymore
think it just left a bad taste in everyone's mouth so people don't play her as much.
I'm here early, and it just so happens that i've been maining ahri lately
All hail the algorithm!
it's me, i'm people
I love how Vlad said easy gold reset, then Camille went 8/3 from then on while he went 2/5
Moral of the story, don't ego type 😂
yes
Day 3 of asking pekin for random aram games in case recording session is going bad so our favourite raccoon does not need to stress too much
They gave her an insanely expensive skin and nerfed her? Thanks Riot
Played her in two games and my conclusion is that i suck with her. In a world full of strong champs with lock on stuns or high aoe damage why tf would I pick Ahri? That's why we don't play her.
I hope Peki wins
Ahri got direct nerfs ( though now she's getting buffs)
Lich bane got nerfed
Malignance got nerfed
So yeah, ahri has fallen out of favor for now lol
How did you know he didnt have W? 24:45
i have a strong feeling he guessed that zed used w out of vision from tri bush in bot lane before he rotated up to mid, but it's not obvious, and the face he makes after zed uses it is like "shit i might have been wrong"
bot lane emote reactions were entertaining on their own, lol.
“Ez GoLd ReSeT” - 🤡
play tanky ekko top with conqueror
please play malzahar
I've been banning her every game, so I don't know how strong she is

PEKIN ILL GET ON MY KNEES AND PANT LIKE A DOG IF YOU PLAY GAREN MID PLEASE
Ahri weak champion
Back when I was gold 4 a few weeks ago
Some Plat K'Sante one trick played him mid against me as Ahri
he cheesed me but ACTUALLY fell off in the late game and we won
Vlad when Camille killed him: EASY GOLD RESET
Camille then grabbing every single shutdown
