continuing that one guys legacy, skarner midlane.

Lulu mid is fantastic in mid-elo play. Total lane bully early, and although she has bad scalings she can still do some surprising damage while providing giga team support mid / late game!

Pekin: "If Zyra didn't get her seeds back from last hitting minions she would be completely trash." Support Zyra Players: *crys silently*

Did Pekin play Skarner mid? No. Lose Streak: 547

Appreciate you playing Zyra mid, I get to see you be frustrated with all the QOL stuff she lacks that us Zyra mains have to deal with. I’m really impressed with how much you knew about the kit and the intricacies of how to use spells and seeds. Great watch.

As an Aphelios OTP (2.7M points) I would love to see you playing him on midlane

really apprieciate you pointing out the other teams mistakes too, helps a lot to improve

Pekin! I'm loving this off meta to masters journey. Keep it up homie

I found the channel thanks to a bard mid game about 2 years ago. I'd love another one.

A few things: 1. When multiple plants hit the same target, every plant beyond the first only deals half damage. That's important for evaluating how much damage you will deal. 2. The E plants have a stacking slow, meaning if two of them attack the same target, the slow of them adds up. That can be crucial in some situations to catch someone and is especially good against immobile champions and meeles. 3. Spreading out the W seeds is a crucial part of playing Zyra successfully. Not only do you cover more ground that way, it also makes it harder for enemies to delete all of them at once. Obvious exceptions are big AoE effects like Fiddle ult. 4. Plants can also be abused by certain enemies. Since meele attacks and single target spells oneshot them, they are free mobility for champions like Irelia or Yasuo. 5. Especially when playing midlane, therfore high uptime on W due to the restes, it can be valuable to place W's as semi-wards (the W seeds give vision in a small area) or as a back up near/behind you, if the enemy midlaner has all-in pressure on you. 6. Not related to the video in particular, but something I often see is people just fishing with E and then comboing the target to kill it. While that can be good, Zyra is not a Lux. Her ult is a very valuable and important teamfight tool with a decently high cooldown, so you don't want to blow it on a single target unless you can win the fight with that/get objectives for free. Similarly, in teamfights you don't have to hit your combo first, to use your ult. As I said, you are not a Lux. I regularly see so many opportunities for good multi-person ults wasted, just because people wait for the E-Q-R oneshot combo. Especially when you have Rylais and the enemy team is approaching you, you can often just plop down R and THEN throw the rest of your spells.

Love the series so far, thankyou for finding new ways to make league fun, you recently did an eve mid game so instead i would love to see ramus mid. Especially against some ranged champs who never auto attack, i want to see how you use his kit to still find leads.

Nice to see a zyra vid! I have an idea for the next one: Volibear mid. I'm a main and i've been playing Voli mid quite a bit, and i have to say it's way better than it seems. Basically the best level 3 champion against scaling mid chamions is a recipe for a disaster on the enemies part. If anyone wants to try it out, just pick a standard PTA runeset and always ignite. Ghost or flash are fine. Play as aggressive as you can early game, push out lanes with your passive, and don't be afraid to dive. Volis' E is a very OP ability, giving you a shield for dives/trades and doing around 20% of enemys max HP early game. Don't try anything too crazy with the build if you're a beginner, such as lethality, but if you're confident, leth is fine too. I would love to see Isaac's take on this!

Nice video, that last baron was so fast! I would love to see an enchanter mid next (like a sera, lulu or karma), I always have trouble winning with those even with a nice team comp.

Yay, thanks for the Zyra mid! Next suggestion would be AP Rakan mid, seems a bit difficult though but I've seen it a few times in the past. Keep up the good work!

Love this series. If you're still taking suggestions I'd love to see some Sett mid gameplay!

Love these videos and hope you're having fun with them :) So curious if you could get a win with something like an assassin Leona mid lol

Hey, i am new to your channel. But I already like the video, and also how you can admit your mistakes / bad decisions (lets be honest, a lot of people just deny that they make ANY mistake xD) Subscribed and am looking for the futher videos :)

Personal preference but I find it a lot more comfortable to alternate leveling W and E after getting the five points in Q. In lane, you have infinite seeds. In the river and jungle though, you can run out really fast and it just feels bad to not have seeds available.

Love the series so far! I’d like to see you play lethality poppy in midlane

Also I always ask for kayn but si forget to say that the vids are awesome af as always Mr Kin, always educational and fun ! Keep it up :D

Since we're going for off meta, i'd love to see some support champs like soraka and ap ones ( I dont think the tanks like leona rell etc would do great )

I really like your commentary videos , the ones where you find a high elo player who has an interesting style of play. Do more please.

Your commentaries help me appreciate the nuances in each champion’s kit. I had no idea this champ is basically a gardening simulator 😂

been waiting for this all day. thanks

In the realm of mid lane, where mages reside, There's a blossom of power, impossible to hide. Zyra, the enchantress, with petals aglow, Unleashes her fury, with a devastating blow. Mid lane's metagame disrupted, askew, Zyra emerges, her damage something new. Her roots grasp the earth, her seeds take flight, A symphony of chaos, a breathtaking sight. With deadly thorns and blossoms in her hand, Zyra commands the battlefield, a force to withstand. Her spells weave through the air, their aim true, Unleashing destruction, as her enemies rue. Vines entangle, strangling all in their grasp, Zyra's damage spreads like an insidious clasp. Her plants, sentient beings, with venomous intent, They strike with fury, her opponents repent. Mid lane trembles, under Zyra's command, Her crazy damage unmatched, a power so grand. Her seeds sprout, with a wicked flourish, Dealing havoc, making opponents perish. But let it be known, though her damage is fierce, Zyra's mastery and skill deserve a cheer. For it's not just her spells, but her strategy too, That allows her to reign, painting the lane in blue. In the realm of mid lane, Zyra stands tall, A mage of chaos, whose damage does enthrall. Her presence undeniable, her power immense, Casting spells of mayhem, obliterating all pretense.

Pekin you said you might do AD Ahri at some point? I know youve done a few ahri vids lately so mh suggestion is to wait until the new static shiv and rageblade comes out and playing a more hybrid/on-hit Ahri like with Nashor’s and shiv etc. That way you still have waveclear and you can see if it has a better damage curve than AP Ahri.

Love these videos!! Play some Shyv Ap mid I know it's not an off meta build but her mid is a little off meta!😊

Loving the off meta climb vids, do you think you could give lethality xin zhao mid a chance?

Loving this series. You should try full AP Karma mid

dang passed out last night before i could watch. now tonight i have two to watch ayyy

would love to see any "he can't just keep getting away with this" gameplay of a roaming support that just sacs waves and runs around but wins through getting his team fed. Janna Top, Shaco, Bard etc.

Jarvan mid would work amazing, hoping you do one in this series

that damage to baron is amazing, you can definitely sneak it with another champion like yorick very quickly. also from last video my suggestion is Draven midlane

pekin would you ever try vel koz mid for an off-meta pick?

Zoe Support. I had a day where I got a bunch of off meta supports. Some went well, like an Elise support. I got a Zoe support and I had high hopes. Watching you, I know Zoe well enough to think I could work well with her. However, my Zoe support missed all her skill shots. I don’t think I ever saw her land her stun. So I thought I would like to see a good Zoe player use her in the support role.

loving the series man! play zilean mid please

After Zyra, is there any possibility of a Morgana mid video? She's basically Lux right...

holy that final teamfight by inhib was played so well by you

I'm personally a big fan of your AP Amumu videos so climbing with that seems fun!

The reason Zyra plants die so fast to certain abilities is due to tick speed. Unlike a lot of pets, Zyra Plant HP is like a ward's- a single-digit hit-based system. Depending on the ability or auto attack, it may be worth 1 or more damage per hit. Fiddle Ult had its tick rate dramatically increased at one point, so it's applying damage pretty much constantly. Since each hit does a minimum of one damage, the plants just instantly die. The same is true with Singed poison for the same reason. Rumble's ult damage ticks are much slower, by contrast, so that's why the plants survived better in that. Hope this is good info. c:

Asking Pekin to play AP on hit neeko mid day 6: The build is nashor's tooth, wit's end and riftmaker. Go full ap next and take lethal tempo. You should play it before patch 13.10 screws this build up. Thanks in advance!

is full ap gragas mid considered off-meta? I would love to see you play the ap-assassinesque fat man in the midlane

I main her as a support, but sometimes I play her also in midlane. One thing I started doing after some experience is abusing her slows. Often it really doesn't matter if you land your E, just put a seed near the enemy champ and the slow is super useful and annoying.

Darius w/predator and starting boots mid (someone did that to me and hit me with Q whenever I walked up and got a massive lead with it). Then you build lethality xD

You could try AP Udyr mid- I forget who was running this but DRing start makes early trades with Phoenix exquisite

Does Nautilus count as off meta anymore? Really enjoying the off-meta climb, keep it up!

Thank you for playing Zyra , Pekin! :) I recommend you to try Lulu mid.

I also got destroyed by an AD LeBlanc in an ARAM game (they just built full ADC built). It was so frustrating to get to her while she kept dmg'ing us down from all angles. Probably not the best build but you could pull it off!

Really like the series would like to see you play Gwen mid with rocket belt into lick bane to one shot people

Rell mid would be nice to see. Runes are grasp + scorch for decent damage. However, she's only good against melee. Ranged champions are pretty hard to lane against. Items are bamis / Sunfire --> tank mythic --> more tank / Demonics --> situational

Can you play some AP bruisers mid? Like voli, udyr, Diana etc.

Hey Pekin, if this off meta climb ever gets stressful or you just want a fun game, could you do another AP Twitch mid? From what I know, AP Twitch mid is very off meta and it seems to be a comfort pick for you

This series is so fun, any chance for a gwen mid game?

About zyra R, the league wiki says: Additionally they attack in a flurry, launching two shots per attack, dealing 「 150% damage per flurry. 」「 75% damage per shot. 」 So yea it is effectively double attack speed.

Played her back to back games today. Smashed my opponents both times. Watched them tilt off the planet in all chat. I haven’t played her in so long I forgot how fun and powerful she is. Next game I’m gonna try an AD build and see what happens

Orianna Support with shurleyas, your E gives you giga advantage early due to bonus resistances for lane partner.

Would love to see a Naut mid video!

0:34 this reminded me of what I believe to be a script the other day where my team mate insta pinged every ward on place/reveal. I'm curious if anyone in high elo has started this?

This is a great series! Gwen mid sometime?

Ayo! I love how often you upload xD

Good game 😮liked your tactics. Try for perfect games or one death maybe. Good enemy jungler😊

could you try seraphine mid/top?

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!

Zyra mid is insane, doesn't require a lot of thought just utilisizing your plants to maximize damage, her ultimate has awesome range too, she makes a great support too

Can you play Quin mid? Good burst damage and roaming power

yay, i really wanted to see zyra! let's gooo

YAY THANK YOU PEKIN ♡

2 suggestions in a row picked! How about Fiora mid?

in melee matchup i like to use electro on her since she can proc is with single q + 2 seeds :D

OMGGGG A ZYRA VIDEO LETS GOOOOO!!!! OMG

Something funny could be lethality sion mid, it works pretty well

How about Aphelios mid/top? He is a weird champion, so it would be fun to see What you would do with such a champion!

7:40 wow I actually didnt know there was a chance to dodge lee q lol thats insane

Viego adc. Play with pyke/all-in frontline engage support. Build crit and play for burning enemy summs. ALWAYS doran shield start!

I’d love to see you do Zyra mid with liandry’s

Katarina will always used E+w movement speed to dodge skillshots its easier than it seems the ms burst is huge

Hey Pekin, I’d love to see some assassin Renekton mid!

AP Udyr mid could be very fun but tricky!

Lol that garen at the end

When is the last time you played Heimerdinger?

Zyras cool and all but i mean have you ever thought about Skarner mid? He's kinda got it all!

sixth try to get Pekin to play toplane: Zac Top. On paper, it should be a great fit: A high-damage tank with technically infinite sustain should be perfect for toplane and the additional gold compared to jungle makes you really nasty in midgame teamfights. But Zacs early-game is quite bad, so there are a lot of toplaners that can easily all-in or at least run you out of lane, so getting to midgame in good order is a challenge. Probably really viable, but likely not blind-pickable.

Can we see an AD Bruiser Zac game where you go hullbreaker?

If you auto attack someone (minions or enemies) that are in range of your plants, they will also change to attack it

I LOVE ZYRA OMFG AND I LOVE PLAYING MID THE MOST I JUST FEEL SO AHEAD COMPARED TO SUPPORT!!!

Jax is really strong at this level of play, but I only ever see him top. It'd be cool for you to play him mid.

Can you try zilean mid?

pls do jhin mid someday, i always loved to see you doing insane plays with him

I really wish Kled could jungle so I'll xompromise and beg for a Kled mid game. Seems like a roamnheavy build would be up your alley.

I wish zyra plants had AoE resistance, it makes teamfights with lots of spells being thrown around a nightmare. Kill em in one auto or single target sure, but AoE just lawnmowers her whole thing

I would like to see Zillian mid. Love you Pekin xoxo

Play Seraphine mid!!

Times a non-existent entity was thanked in this video: 1

AD Poppy mid plz! Should be fun :D And if u hit everything the dmg is pretty nuts

The secret Fiddle in the Middle™️

corki would be fun to watch

Continuing that one guy legacy gnar midlane

would like to see a nautilus mid game, maybe its not off meta but it is topical.

I think Fiddlesticks fears the plants so they die instantly. Quinn support.

It might not be as fun as other champions you are playing but I would love to see a Yuumi video, either as a support or as a different role. I really like Yuumi as a character, makes me think of my cats. I play her, even when half the player base hates her but I haven't played much since her rework and I would like to see how you put her to good use, how a Master player plays with her~ If this is too much, I would also like to see you play Support Nunu and act as a second Jungle and focus on disrupting the enemy's jungle. I saw it in a video from @HappyChimeNoises and I want to try it so bad
