First of all let me say I love Pekin videos no matter WHAT the video is, but it’s these unique or strange builds that make me more and more excited to see what he’s gonna post next!

The first kill on Lissandra was actually insanely well played mechanically. As a fellow mage player I feel like it's hard to look as flashy on them as an Assassin player could, but that looked fucking nuts.

The Kai'Sa had a whole character arc, tbh. Love to see it

Pekin: I will be releasing less of the high elo content so I can do more fun, novel builds the smurf queue: 🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

By the way, just wanted to mention it since it was a pretty obscure change, but Abyssal Mask doesn’t boost damage after you immobilize someone anymore. It’s now actually an MR drain item, made for AP tanks and bruisers like Morde and Maokai

the chasedown potential of this build is really interesting. BOTRK especially is spicy. Really fun match to see you pushed mechanically in different directions and still excel as Zoe because of your absurd experience and skill

kaisa: we're gonna die :( pekin: OF FUN

The fact that Pekin can do troll builds against high elo players and just crush them is.. Intriguing.

Who knows if you’ll see this, but I’m a gold mid main who plays vex, xerath, and lux. Suffice to say your content has taught me a lot. I am interested in your smurfing/off meta content bc I’m a big fan of your vibe and insights, but I do really really enjoy your high level content. Thanks for doing you!

hey pekin! ive started playing zoe because of your vids and today Im like rank 800 in the world! thank you very much for introducing me to this wonderful champ, lov your vids.

Absolutely have been needing this. I want to see the full potential now.

Thank you for this vid. I really wanted to try her with a bruiser build. Can't wait to get time and watch this one. Have a good one!

9:40 this why I like "target champions only" binded lol

I recently found you channel and love the vids! Makes me excited to get back into league after my long break :D

Hey, Pekin :) Just want to tell you that I'm a huge fan of yours. I don't even actually play League anymore, but I still watch every single one of your videos. You're an amazing player and I really look forward to seeing your new uploads

Pekin the level of challenge is getting pretty damn insane love the vids

Very fun to see! Hope you're enjoying making the new variety of content

woah I'm early. Fun to see these different builds on the highest elo they're playable at. Good stuff, Pekin!

Love the videos! I'd love to see a video where you pick a champ that has both ap and ad scaling and you build randomly picked items and see if you can make it work

Kind of for the inverse reason of AP Zeri, I feel like Tear into Manamune would help with the mana issues. Still, this was really fun. I'd love to see this with Lethal Tempo or something else given PTA didn't do a lot

I was thinking Frozen Heart would've been good for this match, helps with the mana issues you had. Maybe instead of the Randuins?

back in and recently got soft soft again, it felt strange and i had previously just taught myself the software. Finding your videos is helping

What an interesting Zoe concept, an illusive bruiser, and you don't seem to lose a ton of value due to the sleep bonus damage. Good Game Pekin!

Omfg the mad lad actually did it LOL

Always blows my mind how good you are with Zoe

Bekinwoof would not have continually mixed up Kaisa with Kalista. But then again, you wouldn't be matched with his greatness, since he's the only one in the "Unchallenged" elo.

I would be interested how it would look with grasp over pta and maybe finding a way to incorporate demonic embrace to make the passive and spells hit a little harder while still giving good health

That comeback mid game was actually insane

3:15 Is god tier flashing a point blank Lissandra Q FTW!

have you changed anything about the runes/build ideaas since making this video pecan? i love this lol

Great video, thanks Pekin 💜

you can bind some key to attack only champions when they hide behind their turrets

Bruh those Lisandro flash plays were so clean though I still can’t get over it

Great video Pekin!

9:53. In keybinds you can hot key attack champs only. I normally bind it to z.

I feel like Essence Reaver would be good on this build. Even if it doesn't give you health or anything defensive it would probably help you a lot offensively

Thank you Mr. Pekin

21:00 "I just didn't have enough mana to auto attack people down"

The extended trades stressed me out so much because I am so used to Zoe being squishy

Mr. Woof is a connoisseur of wtf builds and making them work.

We need to do our part. Give our boy Pekin a comment and like, so we can watch actual high level content

that was just amazing :D The tank zoe is a thing now... :D

I had hand shredded chicken with cucumber for dinner today :D

Would love to see more

Just as surprised to see this as I was when Pekin did zoe jg, well almost *

Felt like frozen heart over randuins might’ve helped with mana issues but still an interesting build

Great video Pekin I can't believe you just woof'd all over them like that

I feel like you totally should've gone Manamune second item, as it adds damage to spells and attacks, gives good ad, and cdr :)

@10:10, there's the grave key which is used in this exact instance for hitting people behind tower.

love when you play a champ you're good at weird

Love it! 🔥

I liked the video and was impressed with the build

Loved this vid, keep up the quirk.

Hey, then wouldn't bruiser Vex work too? Her passive is not as good as Zoe's but her R is definitely better + shield + easier to land hard CC... You might be able to pull it off!

3:20 absolute God

@3:23, you did not flash her Q. In fact, the only thing it looks like you flashed was her E. She used her Q early in the fight, then W -> E (which it looks like you may have flashed). Then Q when you walked for her flash. If you'd have done that a bit later, you'd have died to her Q.

every day pekins vids are getting crazier and crazier

Please try hybrid AP/AD Ahri. I'm not good enough to play it very well, but on paper it seems like it should be pretty feasible.

Pekin calling the Kalista Kai'sa throughout the vid got me calling her kai'sa as well 💀

A champion that can basically play 5 miles back while having multiple summoners and extra use items for safety. I'm pretty sure you could build her however the heck you wanted and find success. She's a great example of how win rate should never be used to balance a champion.

I like these experimental videos, but I agree with you that bruiser Zoe is pretty niche and probably a little sub-optimal. It would have been better if your own team stopped throwing leads.

would lulu with these items work too?

Hey pekin I wonder if you could do a similar build on Twisted Fate!

i like watching this type of content, often

love ur video, dud!

26:29 " vs the kaisa there" ah alright I guess they have a kaisa now and you have a kalista

Pekin really on something today

I love high elo weird builds!

Nice, fun to see a tankier Zoe getting in peoples faces.

Its always fun to watch a challenger play carry diamonds and a boosted animal or two

25:50 HOW HE CHANGED DE SUMMER SPELL OF ZOE'S W???

cool idea, I like that

holy shit that solo kill on liss

Sorry can someone explain to me at 23:48 how Pekin had a Zhonya's W but then picked up a new item for his W immediately without using it first, is this a mechanic I just haven't heard about?

So good to see mage not getting one combo shot

Based on the title I thought you were going for more Evenshroud/Fimblewinter/Abyssal Mask type build. This seemed fun. If I didn't have boomer brain and suck as Zoe, I might try it.

Yup, bruiser items are every so often better than mage items even on mages. One really stellar inclusion for even more traditional builds is a pocket frozen heart. Builds like this or ones without a mana mythic really enjoy that mana, plus the tankiness is really generously statted for attack damage. Even the *Rock Solid* is a better version of Randuin's'. This is an especially dirty fakeout against people who build rageblade.

Creo que el primer item es bueno, pero el resto... Quizás si le pones un Statik y Liche, sería más one Shot.

why are you so good at zoe now holy crap !

Sterak's would be good against their team. Better route: Sterak's -> Death's Dance (Especially @24:56). You'd take even less damage and for the number of kills/assists you're getting, you're literally ignoring up to 30% of their damage. Better build that would be more "bruiser", less "tank", and more damage - Sunderer -> Sterak's -> Death's Dance -> Dead Man's and/or Guardian Angel. Your choice of boots. With a bruiser set up, you're looking for maximum survivability based on the types of fights. Death's Dance is literally made for team fighting. With your Q splash damage (or just AA'ing everyone once), you get kills/assists on repeat which means that extra 30% bleed damage just goes away... effectively you're taking 70% damage in team fights, which would make you ultra strong. And you'd basically have a "reset mechanic" - aka take damage -> get a takedown -> heal some -> rinse repeat until you kill everyone.

Pekin could go any build with zoe and pop off

Nice video!

Man. How was he surprised getting so many spears in him that he died? 18:40 Imagine any ad hitting you 9 times before using abilities. Unless you're a tank you should be taking tons of damage.

The zoe mastery though

Lit vid 🔥

We all know that player is going to play the next 2000 games of sunderer Zoe and love them all.

this is a lot closer to a 100% legit build than it ought to be

Frozen heart woulda gone crazy

Is protobelt good item for zoe or luden is better?

It's funny, I point out that this is a pretty low skill Zoe main that didn't even understand the interaction with lich bane comes back with a video showing off how Zoe with a spellblade item is a synergy. It's like he's learning, he's getting there guys, one day his champion mechanics might actually match his macro skills.

Next you need to try on hit zoe adc...

The 3:16 fight is Insane bro?!

Shoulda went ap on hit/bruiser

Thumbnail reaction: WHAT THE FUCK AM I LOOKING AT?! (Literally said out loud)

3:10 SEE YOU ON SYNAPSE

Hey could you try something funny and maybe try playing her crit next? Maybe hail of blades? Haha could be funny with like essence reaver etc xD

Cool build But damn even in high plat/low diamond teams are going

Essence reaver would’ve probably bean good

Soooo… bruiser Zed next then? 😮

I had to rewatch that first fight 5 times to even understand what happened. He literally flashed over to the ignite bubble, used it, and hit a q skillshot. Nobody watching this would ever make that play. If I was liss, I try and force a lane swap wtf
