@5:13 "Mom is pretty big It almost fills up this whole entire corrider " HAHA

I love hearing " Mom is pretty big " 😂

Hey everybody welcome to the next commentary. Today we are playing some smolder mid against syndra on the PBE.

Another thing you didn't talk about that AP smolder benefits from is the healing from mom, it's a 75% AP ratio with no AD ratio.

Lich bane, if you're going full ap. It makes the q actually do something.

13:20 very fair and honest lee sin gameplay, hits Q, instant 1300 dmg. interactive gameplay + 100% your fault + should've dodged his skillshot every single time + balanced + you do more damage than him if he doesn't hit his Q. GG WP lee

The nerf is specifically targeting smolder bottom's early poke. Rank 1 W hitting 1 champion does -34 dmg and has 1s longer cooldown. Hitting 2 champs does about -30 dmg to each of them, -60 in total.

Thanks for posting this when I'm sick, now whenever smolder w's, I can smolder w IRL as well!

Spear of So Jhin 😮

That W minion damage nerf is actually pretty useful, since you never oneshot casters with W anymore. You can just always W without worrying about losing q stacks. Although in situations where you just wanna shove fast, it is obviously a bit worse.

Hot take: They should just make Smolder a mage and be done with it

Only 4 people being full build at 43 minutes (and three of them being on the enemy team) is kinda crazy, isn’t it? And then Pekin just being hilariously ahead of all of them and being extra full build.

I could see Ziggs doing a build kind of like this. AP Smolder looks like a lot of fun, you know people are going to try running him Support now even though it probably won't be very good.

Reminds me of old AP Zeri. That was my favorite build of all time

I was thinking, at 28:50 when choosing his last item, because of the burst on enemy team, is it ever the play to go jak'sho last item? (or maybe even sterak's if he built AD?)

Love your videos Pekin! Keep posting! Pekin woof 1 million subscribers!

I like the music on the main channel.

Do you think lich bane would be good on AP smolder? It would proc off Q and benefits from AP ratio, makes the initial damage have a little more pop to help lower down to execute threshold

Love your videos Pekin!

Smolder's mama so big she fills up the entire corridor

5:34 when i use my WHAT now???

I find it so funny that riot adds the useless fist bump feature and feel need to urge people to use it with reminders when most ppl just don’t care. I mean we already got emote.

First game nobody had antiheal against aatrox and lee sin hello??

does the true damage burn proc rylais, cleaver, comet cooldown, conqueror, or anything like that?

I think Lich Bane for increasing Q dmg would be better. Also what about grudge? gives lethality, %pen, haste and also a slow, felt like it wud have been better than lord doms

AP Smolder was already super strong in ARAM. Can't wait for the buffs.

Would lichbane work with this build or is it all focused on w

Pekin and his AP addiction :)

This season feels so full of burst damage it’s crazy

I think I'm going to build him AP as well, seems fun. Funny how you're dead after every other E in fights 😅

Can you still stack masks?

I wonder how much bane might fit this build with all that ap

Dark harvest game, let's go!

It's funny how Pekin goes from hating Smolder to playing Smolder between his videos

What's the song in the background? I need to know it for my sanity, I know I've played that game.

Man, I wish everyone would build like this when I'm playing Aatrox

Pekin pls play AP-helios. Its OP I swear

Bless you *hands tissue*

so after some adjustments pekin is playing the new adc full ap mid with w max. tell me where i've heard this before ...

Isn't he good with lichbane?

Happy valentines day pookie

would lichbane be bad?

did you know that you can shoot mom backwards so it hits enemies "faster"

Lee was sweating early game while Pekin casually explains changes. Gotta love this guy

why is noone talking about the banger SIMS backround music?!

Id still go shadowflame cuz the true damage crit and by late game you still deal a decent amount of magic damage from items as well as stacks. Id also go lichbane for all the stats it gives plus a stronger q. To fit in armor pen youd need to drop something and i think it would be the riftmaker.

Waiting for the day when Pekin says Spear of Shojin correctly

Dare we say it, that W hits like a Lux laser

I'd think that malignance doesn't work with smolder, as his R deals only physical damage right?

Achoo can deal more dmg me : Achoo (sneeze) reporter : one person was able to infect 1000 person with corona v

Nuclear bomb vs coughing baby? Why not both? Introducing smolder;

I cheered when he used tp

Pekin!!! I keep hearing sims music in the back 👀 are you a fan of the series???!!!

Respect for Aatrox going afk ,it was that moment "We can end now " and he wanted to end ,the team of nabs ran back and he decided to leave,maximum respect ,deserved ,never carry scrubs like that ,show them who's the alpha and how you can decide their game ,love LOL :D

Why is no one buying anti heal

would have procced DH that you dont have XD

5:35 plap

30 mins in and Volibear has 1 item.

'mom is pretty big' - pekin

Crazy to see the childish mental boom tantrum on the enemy team for once

mooooooom!

This discussion is almost as old as me and I was born in 2004 but... Riftmaker before liandrys in a champion that doesn't fight for that long makes no sense. If it wasn't for the ult cdr even malignance before liandrys would be trolling. Currently you can go malignance with liandrys for first two items and then probably something like lichbane, nashor's tooth and then rabadons... Also zhonias has a zholt in thiz build.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Kind of annoyed with the change on w cd. Takes away the 3 points in w into q max thats made him feel bearable

Aatrox enabled Hardcore mode.

QUANTUM SAYS HE HATES ALL ZOE PLAYERS

There's have been some changes, y'all!

Pekin was really not focused on cs'ing this game

I like the idea of a caster that builds AP and deals physical/true damage. I just wish it was not some jank they added to a champion with another identity.

This Karma in game 2...does she not no how to back off? my god, she just kept getting caught and caught.

No cannon minions were harmed in the making of this video, love the video btw

ap smolder but didnt start w ? lol nice vid tho

BUFFS????

the "fist bump" feature is so cheesy, oof

2:07 would be amazing if you said "and you sneeze on them" instead.

Woof

fish

Sorry for this but didn’t understand why you don’t go pen.

Yo

*Smolders mom still cast if he dies* Jarvin is rolling in his grave.

I am not liking these changes. They are giving way too many AP ratios to a champion that scales infinitely (and they did it because they were nerfing his early, just to compensate). 100% Riot's 200+ year balance team is gonna see how busted he is next patch, and gut all of his AP ratios or nerf him into nonexistence, like it happened with Zeri. I fucking hate it when they give us cool champ concepts, only to make them busted by buffing some random aspect of their ratios and then making them virtually unplayable because of how incompetent they are at balancing the damn game. Edit: to be clear, I love Smolder's concept and I am having a blast playing him mid. The thing is that Riot's balance team is trying to make him JUST go adc and not top or mid by nerfing his solo early game, and it's ended up in (yet again) a completely playable character mid, which might be even overtuned for next patch. Since Riot's balance team doesn't fucking know what they are doing, chances are Smolder's gonna end up gutted because they do NOT know what the fuck to do with him (again, like it happened to Zeri).

I hope Peki wins

pekin: "I have no mom anymore though" pekin's mom crying in the corner

I rather have Smolder buffed as ADC, not as annoying AP...

Do not buy ap pot. Buy ad pot it gives physical vamp!

This champion is in shambles from the beginning... no wonder Riot fired the guy who designed him.. I mean he probably knew what was coming and decided to troll a bit before being let go. Just look at his scalings, look at his dmg?? Does that look like an adc to you? Something even funnier- have you noticed the absurd names of his spells? "Achoo" "Flap, Flap, Flap" "Mom" 😂😂😂 like srsly 0 thought was put into making him I can guarantee you that.

First

Twitter and Reddit: OMG THESE NERFS ARE SO DUMB Pekin and me: Pretty sure W does more damage to champions now if you hit multiple champions in a cluster. They also just straight up buffed AD scaling on it to disincentivize the liandry's builds. The reduced initial damage on W is also a straight up buff because it prevents W from oneshotting the wave, so you don't miss stacks just for pushing. People are like "ERMAGERD WAVECLEAR NERF" but it's legitimately a straight up buff to W Q stacking. They also straight up buffed Q projectile scaling. A lot of people are just reading the "Doran's Ring level 1 W does less damage to the wave" part of the change and freaking out over it.

tell me why an ap ADC can out damage a real mage like Viktor, Rito is so dumb sometimes

mmm, idk, if whats needed to be viable is 1 dc on the enemy team, and long fights where all your team has to help u get W's, and then going like 15 kills in... idk man xd other champs can carry harder by themselves, just saying, your Q was miserable almost all game long xd, ure like a worst AP Kogmaw, at least he can use Q and W, and E succesfully beside with full ap. Not hating on you, is just trying to bring the copium back a little bit, seems like if u were AD that game, things would turn easier for your team lul

Dumbest voli build... complains about losing to aatrox smh

Were u tired? Terrible gameplay! Sorry bro

thats real low elo instead of ending ur they were farming at 40mints wtf
