It's kind of sad to hear Pekin's losing subs. He's arguably my favorite league streamer

I appreciate you opening up about your channel and letting us know what’s happening behind the scenes. I look forward to seeing the new series and hope it’s able to turn the numbers around for you. Your content now is something I’ve been really enjoying so even if the numbers don’t say it, I’d like to thank you for continuing to make it.

I appreciate there's still rare chill non silver stomping streamers like Pekin. Whenever I think of diamond+ I imagine the sweatiest sweat fest there is, but watching content from Pekin of Wolves proves it otherwise. Love your content style. Looking forward to see how it goes top.

Yone player's pain is everyone's wine.

As someone who started watching your channel right when you started your off-meta climb, I think series like that are the best way to keep the channel growing. The biggest reason is that when you play something off-meta - or even something you just don't play regularly - you wind up (maybe unintentionally) explaining a lot more about the overall game in your videos: * What is the meta, and why isn't [whatever you're playing] a part of that? * What is the buildpath and playstyle, and why does it work? * What is the champion's kit, and how do you use that to play into stronger/more meta champs? As a casual player, I find this really interesting - I actually hadn't played in years before watching your videos, and I found them to be a really organic way to catch up to the current state of the game. When you play more meta champions, you do less explaining because - from your POV - you're just playing the game 'normally' but people who don't play as much have less of a firm grasp on what 'normal' is so, so the video becomes harder to follow and less informative. At the same time, doing off-meta stuff also appeals to more experienced players because it's something fresh, so even if you are explaining things they already understand, what you are doing is still novel and therefore entertaining.

Can we get a 'Bald champs/skins only to Challenger' series?

Yone players when they can't faceroll the keyboard and win:

bald is strength bald is power

If the Top Challenge gets less views, I know most people would definitely be down to see Off Meta to Challenger.

Baldimir and now Ryze. Here's to the Rogaine/Hims sponsorship!

Post a poll! I feel like jg would be more action(I think the average viewer looks for action). Top is such an island. I'll watch you no matter what you do. I learn so much from you and you're just so damn amusing. I hope #s don't get you down too much. I feel like you're bound to rebound no matter what you do!!!

Pekin you should ask or remind us to like your videos. I’ve been watching your vids for like a year now and you’re my favorite bc you’re so informational in everything you do. I have no problem liking your vids.

when i was voting, I honestly did not realize what is the marble challenge, so picked a different option, but as I was listenning to you, I thought that challenge sounds way more interesting because we can pick whatever role/champion we want you to play. I really think you should try doing that challenge (maybe try doing both in the beginning, and see which one takes off)

Pekin, I found your videos after exclusively watching Sirhcez. Now I get to watch both of you, and your videos have helped me learn A LOT about champs I never play. Thank you for sharing the channel challenges, but I want you to know that I’m a fan.

Don't worry Pekin, some of us watch all ur vids! Oh and.. when u do toplane challenge. U should make a short intro vid to start every movie. That way people get exited and want to follow the proces. Now it seems every vid is one of its own and not part of a whole series.

I for one am pretty exited to see you give top a try! I've always admired your mental and your dedication to playing the best game you can, so it will be fun to see you grow and adapt to a new lane :)

excited for your series bro!

i loved the transparency about ur channel! I don't really watch top laners ever but i will def watch ur climb cuz im mostly here for the vibes hahaha

You are a beast at Ryze, this is crazy, I‘d love to watch you play champs you are really comfortable with and have fun playing more often!

Ryze mid? WHAT YEAR ARE WE IN?!

Appreciate all your content peekin

I'm definitely interested in your new series!

Love your content pekin i hope your channel starts growing again you deserve it. For the top lane challenge i hope to see 1 game of each gwen and fiora

good luck on the series pekin! ngl it'd be cool seeing off meta to challenger in every role lol

Just leaving a comment to help you with algorithms. I've been watching you for so long, even though I did not play League, I still enjoyed your content!

Man, I'm sad to hear you're losing subs. You're by far my favourite youtuber (in general) and I wanna see you succeed :[

Love you Pekin! You're my favorite League content creator, and I love your videos! 😄

Great informative and enterntaining video. I enjoy watching you a lot

Wow really looking forward for the toplane to challenger. I really enjoyed the offmeta picks challenge but seeing you play in another role will be interesting

Hey Pekin! Love your content and would love to see more videos from you, sorry to hear about the channel not doing so hot rn, but I know you'll figure it out and turn it around. I like the sound of the toplane to challenger challenge, maybe you could focus on a few champs and try to get good at them, get coaching from big one tricks and such. Goodluck man looking forward to seeing what's next!

Despite marble mondays not winning in the poll it was such a fun stream to be a part of, would be cool to see that continued in some aspect.

I ended up missing the poll, but the marble challenge sounds super cool, and I'm really excited if that ends up being chosen!!

I genuinely hope the vids for the new challenge pop off! I'll be watching them. You deserve a lot more appreciation for being quite literally the single best League creator right now, at least in my opinion. Make the changes you feel you need to and don't be too hard on yourself, Pekin! Stay safe.

I dont even play league anymore and I still watch your videos, just because you're amazing and I want you to be huge lol. Keep your head up, your content is the best!!!

I have recommended you to five of my friends, and funny enough, four of them play top. I like mid and you are basically the only League channel I watch fwiw

I’ve been wanting to move from jungle to top lane and you’re pretty much the only league player I watch and learn from. So I’m really anticipating this series

It’ll be great to see a new series I personally would like to see you play JG but too would be cool as well

That reminds me Pekin, are the longer videos actually working well for your channel? Don't get me wrong, I love having more games to watch. And I'm not a content creator so I'm only basing myself on what I heard elsewhere, but my understanding was that %watchtime of a video is key, and as a result I'd think having two games in one video (and thus having a higher chance that one might not watch the second one or leave it for later) might hurt the perceived popularity of the video according to the algorithm. Very curious to know if I'm wrong about that.

You are probably the only league of legends content creator that I watch regularly. I still pop into streams from time to time even just to watch some game play. I genuinly enjoy your take on the game, the educational aspects you provide on your youtube, and overall just being able to watch gameplay that is far cleaner than mine has ever been.

"i got hit by a rock" ~ Pekin 2024

I really enjoy your channel and I watch almost every video you upload. It's cool to see you trying something new and a hope the numbers get higher. And pleeeease play Camille top lane, she is the best toplaner

More than anything I would love to see you just do a mid to challenger!

You're my favourite content creator by a mile

I swear, i noticed the font yesterday and i convinced myself i was trippin.

:34 Pekin "oh dang I got hit by a rock." I remember those elementary days too Pekin 😕

To be fair I love watching you play odd picks mid, its teaching me so much, while if you would play top, I won't like it as mutch because I don't learn from it as much as I don't like playing top. So I would pref a series when you play mid

I really enjoy the off meta climb videos. You could also do highlights videos with compilations of your best plays. Try doing short form content like reels with your greatest plays. It could help bring in subscribers.

I think playing support would be very entertaining to watch because you could analyze and critique the various bots you're teamed with! Would love that commentary

Hey everybody, welcome to the next commentary. Today we are playing some Ryze mid versus a Taliyah, um,

i love your videos pekin but i think you should do a challenge that you want to do so you’re enjoying the content you’re making

I hope you don't burn out doing the challenger top series, and that you find joy in doing it. And that whatever you make off your channels right now is enough to keep you moving forward

I love the top idea, hope it goes well!

Sad to hear your losing subs ur my favourite league player mainly because of u speaking ur thought process aloud when playing. Helped me get a better mentality

I knew you from your off meta Lilia mid. I believe that was the video that popped out on my recommendation. Would be interesting to see another series. People like to see players smurfing on low elo because that will be more fights early game, but I believe you also have your own audiences.

Rito missed a perfectly good opportunity to change the font to comic sans for April fools.

I really think going ahead with the top to challenger series everybody voted for would be a great breath of fresh air for the channel

In all my games today people were pointing out the awful font change, it looks like real soulless corporate type of font

Pekin your a Unique League streamer I'm pretty sure you will never be in danger of losing views to a big extend Love your content ❤

Pekin, youre a good lad

we love you pekin ❤

Dang all my favorite youtubers doing bad in the algorithm rn :'(

Would Love to See the toplane challange! ❤

Was just thinking the other day about if you would play Ryze 😊

Pekin is the best League content creator, hands down!!

Honestly made me want to log in to league and play some Ryze First champ I ever played but didn't really get back into it after the rework

Would it make sense to pepper in a few games a week of your normal video type during the challenge?

23:58 am I crazy or I hear dogs barking? Btw nice video as always pekin!

Pekin for what its worth if you do a top challenge I would watch all of your videos !

Woudnt liclbane be insane ln ryze? Bonus move speed and wirh always auto weaving?

Support with your mages pick would be awesome.

just woke up and pekin is already talking to me

If You started the toplane climbing Pekin, would You also play other roles from time to time? I'd love to see You playing Fiddlesticks in the jungle. For some reason I really enjoy watching others play this champion, as it's my favourite and pretty much the only champ I like so much. 🙀

Quite dissapointed the marbles didn’t win the vote, would love that series!

10:38 wait what the.. is that a little void mites?? It's a cat with a hat?!

Go top bro... lets see if you are truly a degen or not. That role is thankless man...

I'm a simple man, I see ryze video I upvote. I hope you also run into more subs Pekin. I don't watch too much but I sub!

I haven't played LoL in years I'm a casual master in tft but I watch all of your videos. Hands down my favorite high elo streamer. My only advice is do the challenges and shit and try to make it fun that seems to be (based on thumbnails I do not watch) the most popular. Maybe a climb to chally with a marble race to pick that games role? Always doesnt hurt to do collabs but sincerely I prefer watching you articulate your thoughts but I'm sure it would be huge (even if the person isnt big you would get crossover, girls always get clicks).

I really hope you do jungle instead of top, I just don’t feel like top will be THAT different except I guess having a different pool of champs, but jungle would be an entirely different dynamic.

57:42 Not to mention if you were going by the Faker Bible, he has said several times that Ryze has the kit that if mastered will help you understand top level mid laning like no other.

Love pekin

Top to challenger sounds good to me!

With all the auto weaving and the amount of ability resets Ryze has, would a LichBane work well on him?

Was that not a flash when temp escaped? And I’ll watch whatever you do as long as it’s full commentary league play. And honestly I don’t know how your channel hasn’t popped off yet. I hate edited videos and it seems those are the ones with the biggest following. But as far as authentic education for the mid lane, you are by far the very best. you have my respect and support always.

That ryze splash art goes hard

Hey Pekin, how about an autofill to challenger or A to Z type of deal? KZfaq's algorithm is something else...

Graves ulting during Snare blew my mind

As an ex-midlaner turned top main I am very excited for the new series

TODAY FOR LUNCH I HAVE A STEAK AND SOME RICE, I ATE THE VEGGIES AND WATCHING YOUR VIDS BRINGS ME JOY AND MAKES MY WORK DAY THAT MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE. GGRRRAAAAAAAHH

"Super simple stuff. It's like Q W Q E Q" Garen: R

think a new role would bring a good amount of variety to the content. Would definitely be interested in top lane content :)

That's messed up. Love your vids and I think one of the things you do the best is analyze items, builds orders that are under used or show off how to utilize the new items. That's the only thing I can think of missing from your content is sometimes you will build an item like the new ludens and you are already aware how it works, and how it's different but us noobs could gain a lot from going into it. That one especially I wasn't playing right when it released, and from reading the wiki it took me forever to get what it was saying. So many un optimal builds on the stats sites and pro games you could probably click bait popping off with a better one but tap into keywords of like pro players names or boosting your winrate/elo or whatev league related words people search. Oh and you do how to play as new champs, but I don't know if you've done a lot of videos of how to counter the new champs, or flavor of the month S tier solo queue champs. Oh and I miss the collabs with other content creators. I only have so much interest in serious vids, especially from the typical mid lane champs since I don't play that role, but I could watch you goof around with Nidhog and Quantum or whoever else your chummy with forever. I remember a game not too long ago where you comment on the jarvan in your game and I didn't realize til then it was Nidhog when he typed right after. Aphromoo also used to do clash series where he played with his non pro friends and it was pretty entertaining trying to watch him carry a bunch of golds in that format and even that can be pretty instructional of how people can climb out of low ranks. I don't remember any names, but it seems like you've had some interesting characters you had in your PBE games you set up to get contested champions from time to time who would like kamikazi to through the game and let you finish your build, might keep people engaged to have a some sort of consistent story line in that way or having you train them between clashes like mulan.

Hope the new series pops off man. Sucks to hear about your channel. I still watch basically every single one of your videos (sometimes just a little late). I retain that you're the best overall League channel for gameplay and commentary. Hope people find you and you start growing again dude

Since you auto-weave so much. Would it be worth it to build a Lich Bane?

Pekin what do you think about the whole kill your lane opponent early and being punished for it by losing a wave? I feel that: - the death timers are too short early on. - tp is op for allowing you to GAIN XP relative to your opponent after losing a 1vs1. It is against the core concept of the game. How can someone be punished for beating their lane opponent early and it being something in the game?

W content

ur the first person i saw to mention how weird the font change was... ty..

What organization did you play academy for?

I’m not a ryze player, but I always asm myself: if he scales so good with mana and seraphs too, wy not build other mana ap items on top? Like ludens (and even roa if possible) all together? I understand that malignance is not viable. Same boat as kassadin btw, I would think you would want to build all mana/ap items on them? If someone can enlighten me pls! Thanks :)

He ragequitted while winning and while playing it that badly, wow

Honestly, now hearing the marbles option, I also vote for it lol.
