idk why riot doesnt realize that no burning item will ever be balance-able as long as brand and lilia are allowed to proc them like they do.

Hey everybody! Welcome to the next commentary, today we are playing some Swain mid on the PBE. Because, if you guys don’t know, the first ranked split is ending and Riot is uhh adding a bunch of new things in the next split. So, these are not out yet but they will be out in like 2 to 3 weeks. Uhh so be ready for it.

Holy shit Blackfire Torch is an og Twisted Treelane item. That's pretty awesome ngl. On an unrelated note: RIOT PLEASE BRING BACK 3V3 TWISTED TREELINE PLEASE (even if for a limited time event or something 'cause that'd be cool af)

Landing an empowered Asol ult gives you a guaranteed 20% bonus AP, no wait, your ult hits jungle monsters too.. you get... a lot of AP with a big stardust stack ult.. lol what... Lategame you could get like 40% or more AP

im hoping this new burn item being a lost chapter item means we'll see more lillia mid in the future again. edit: lol he brought it up like 1 min after i commented

i always forget that swain draws in birds to the terrain around him and it jump scares me every time.

The legend:ability haste rune is supposed to only give ability haste to basic abilities, at least thats how a Rioter corrected Spideraxe on Twitter...

Overlord's Mail on Skarner: Skarner has health scaling and can survive surprisingly well on low HP. Bloodthirster Briar: I know you want to, just giving the excuse for it. Krakenslayer Briar?: Now that it's not a crit item anymore, it could work as an AS item for Briar that didn't really exist for her until now. Blackfire Aurelion: Beeg ult can hit a massive amount of eligible targets for probably the biggest AP boost that item can grant.

5:18 BRO WAS COLD AF WITH THIS ONE 🔥🗣🗣

Sion best user of bloodmail I think. He gets the free health scaling off his w for minnion kills. And wants ad as well

I think the torch item is going to be really good on fiddlesticks. Dealing bonus damage to monsters is pretty big and his w and r are going to proc it on a ton of people ideally. I do think that it will be a pretty niche item that you're only really going to see on swain/brand/lillia/fiddle and maybe some others I'm not thinking of

Thinking a bit more outside the box I think this item + liandry's + malignance would be insane on an AP Yorick build. Would be tons of fun.

For the Yun Tal bleed, it does in fact, stack. The problem is that you need consistent crits and enough AS... as well as having a target with enough health to not die before the bleed does anything. It would be good an champs with AA resets. The tool-tip for how much damage it does is also bugged.

Teemo could benefit a lot from an early good burn item as well as the new ability haste rune.

Blackfire could be good on Miss Fortune, Hwei & Fiddlesticks (5 man ult in baron/dragon pit means + 24% AP). Karthus could start a teamfight with ult. It's probably just good on Heimer & Cass (in a normal, not off-meta way). Anyone who crits easily wants wildarrows, especially late-game Senna (maybe navori + wildarrows on Fiora, but that might be too crazy) New & Improved Briar (SSky, buffed Unending Dispair, Overlord's Bloodmail, Spirit V, THydra). Maybe give Taric navori & iceborn for perma stun/slow. New ability haste & inspiration rune would be good for it too.

Hey Pekin! I really enjoy your AP Twitch videos and play that a lot thanks to you, do you think it will work with the new burning item? I would love to see you try that!

If the new item burn just keeps scaling then I wonder how good it is on Veigar. It's a mana item too so it could even be built first.

Pekin your awesome thank u for your videos they help me learn a lot become a better mid laner

The legend haste ruin only gives basic abality haste so it makes sense the stat isn’t being shown (kinda like spear of shojin)

this item must be even more insane on Zyra, considering how liandry is CHEF'S KISS on her too

I love how the Yauso keeps trying to all-in you in the first game and keeps getting killed without much of a fight lmao

I agree with the Mundo idea using the health to ad item since he already somewhat has it as his e passive, I also imagined you trying health scaling Briar again with that item. I hate Jhin but I’m lowkey excited to see you use the crit item on him

Yoooo... This on singed 3rd-4th item sounds crazy

Would the new crit item with the burn work on Sivir w projectiles?

well I'll always be down for a furnace Cassiopeia build! I love that snake

Dinner and a video a nice combo :D

Tank Briar with Bloodmail and Spirit Visage might be fun to try out for maximum heals

Could a maybe try Akshan or Yone with the new or re-vamped items since there was crit changes and also they removed lethal tempo which was a Yone staple

I wonder how good it would be on zyra. I immediately thought of her since I really like her. Or morg jungle.

Taliyah E followed by Qs seems good for Torch

Kog mow ap x3 burn item + deathcap. Sounds pretty fun with those r.

As you were looking at the Yasuo's Yun Tal Wildarrows (Crit-bleed) I found myself thinking it'd be good on Jhin because of the scaling and length of time between autos to let the bleed actually work, about 2 seconds before you said the exact same thing. I suspect that means this will be a common revelation.

Are you saying that this new item is BIS for your next video which is going to be AP Trundle, one R → 100 - 0 % ennemy HP bar ? That's so cool.

For this item, I want to try: - Aurelion Sol - Anivia - Brand - Heimerdinger - Maybe Fiddlesticks - Gragas - Karma - Teemo - Zyra - Ivern - Vel'Koz - Vex - Viktor - Xerath - AP Kayle - Kennen - AP Kog'Maw - AP Twitch - AP Amumu - Ryze - Morgana - Rumble - Udyr (spicy)

Aery scorch is really strong into melee lanes btw, it's my go to set-up

have you tried renata mid with the new item?

Pekin Fiddle the middle with that new burn item , it sounds amazing for him. You ult into 5 ppl you get crazy ap and they dissapear easy peasy.

Hey @Pekinwoof Overlord’s bloodmail sounds fun on Briar right?RIGHT???

I think this new item on hwei would be great

Veigar + Blackflame might be fun, big AP + additional % AP. But might be hard to proc it on multiple ppl.

Brand and teemo are gonna love this.

10:40 or what if u take that on talon xd passive bleed + q crit activating the item's bleed too.

Would this item be useful on Singed?

Get well soon pekky

I'd say this is the "dracula's flow 5" of pekin's videos

I wonder if singed would be a good fit for the item, could be a fun idea to try

It seems generally good. Might put us back into syndrianna meta again, due to it being a very good one item spike

i believe bloodthirster gives no crit because all the crit items gives 25% crit chance rather than the 20% crit chance it has on current patch

I suspect that it isn't particularly good, but I always consider whether a new AP item will be good on Kog'maw. I feel he suffers from wanting too many synergistic items all at once, but maybe the burns from malignance+liandry's+blackfire+shadowflame theoretically *could* make his ult be better. I think he's always slightly up in the air because he also likes archangels, rylai's, rabadons, ludens.

potentially good blackfire torch users would be Burn/Rylai Annie, Fiddle, single AP item Singed, malignance Nasus, enchanters like Rakan & Karma for stronger shields? Sona if her Q aura to allies applies it, AP Shaco, AP Maokai, AP Smolder, AP Twitch. Teemo E doesn't work atm for some reason but he'd 1000% like just sitting on the 900g component

6:58 the rune only gives basic ability haste, so it doesn't show up on the stats just like ult haste doesn't

Are Liandrys and the new item adding the burn damage together? I dont like that at all. They need to have separate numbers

While I think the %ap passive is really impactful on AoE champs, I believe that Blackfire will still have a place for more single target mages. It's another lost chapter option, and, with the flat burn vs. Liandry's % max HP, it's better for teams that stack less health (which is why I think it outperformed liandry's so much in the swain game). If you've got a lot of CDR, then even more single target and burst oriented mages will get use out of it in longer fights. Of course, Brand is still going to be the king of this item with champs like Swain and Aurelion Sol (Cassio and Lillia? too) sitting in the next tier after him.

there has to be some sort of new kaisa build, maybe blood thirster first item for q evolve and then ap?

Heimer with torch sounds nice

you should try the new tank/ad item on briar

I wonder if it would be good on Donger

it helps brand keep up with wave clear.

You maybe could try the new Bloodthirster on Briar I really love massive healing builds ;)

Yun Tal Wildarrows early on Ashe since she always crits. Would be goofy if it also applied 5 times per flurry but I really doubt that's the case

I like the swain skin. It makes the crows look like a mix between a seagull and a cockatiel.

i wanna see someone try asol because his ult hits everyone along with jungle monsters so it could be insane ap

Good idea is to try ziggs with this new torch item, he liked old liandrys a lot cuz it also gave mana, now torch will replace it.

Gonna be insane on singed

get well soon, Mr Woof

But Orianna could pre-apply it with QW->R or in reverse, QR->W and she’d get the AP for the last ability.

could briar be good with the Hp Ad item? also lillia mid with the torch seems super fun

Blackfire grasp is going to be literally insane on veigar, every single ability gets a free 20% ap ratio, plus you get 4% bAP whenever someone is ticking away? thats first item on veigar now no cap

Next video Jhin mid Wildblades rapidfire IE pls ❤ They reverted IE and BT to how they used to be from basically preseason 5 to end of season 10 mythic item patch which thank GOD they finally did. Honestly might be a Samira bt rush angle

I feel like same build on hwei?

Also ASol might be good with that item.

Sion with the Health -> AD item could be interesting.

The fact that the brand game is like half the length of the swain game is hilarious

Probably a great item for any constant damage mage, not sure if Cassio could spare a slot for it

I think the dot damage on seraphine at 30:03 tells us this is pretty meh. You had pretty much max burn damage here and it tickled.

Is 25% crit chance going to be normal now? Because that seems odd with everything else being 20.

Ad cho with titanic + the new health to ad item, or sion with the same item for infinite health scaling

I’m just imagining late game full build Asol with skies descend getting 2 K or 3k AP momentarily after hitting the entire map and jungle camps

I wanna see some black fire Karthus I feel he will get some good value

Can you do the item that turns HP into ATK on Briar and go the tank build? I really wanna see that

The HP to AD might be good on sion, the burn might be interesting on mord and kennen but I'm not sure

Doing jhin will also showcase the new boots upgrade

Oh man. Fiddlesticks is gonna love this new item. R into enemy team and get a bunch of AP to hit even harder with it.

this item would be really good on ap twitch and fiddle

Can you play malzahar with the new DOT items?

30:28 that healing, though. Took 5.8k damage with 3.5k max HP that fight.

Hey Pekin how about you test both Liandry's and Black Fire Torch ; save enough money to buy BOTH items at the same time , and then lets see which one does the most damage :)))

Bloodthirster change is like 50 50 for me on one hand certain adcs can’t abuse it on the other hand champs like irelia will build this now probably

Would love to see a mundo game!

Would this item work on Teemo?

I wonder if Morgana mid and/or jungle will be a lot more viable with this new item

I liked this item a lot, i just hate this pink fire, it's so bright lol

Briar with the bloodmail item?

can you please try seraphine with this item?

Did lethal tempo got replaced or removed for good?

me gigling after pekin noticed the BT change, knowing he has no idea how they butchered immortal shieldbow

Maybe viable on Anivia?

I would also have picked Brand to try the new item

Doesn’t seraphs offer %Ap gain off of additional mana. Might be a world where 3 LC items is beneficial.

Anivia black fire torch?
