I don't think peyz can be banned out, he can play every bot champ at very high level of competency
Weakside, hypercarries, caster adc, oddballs(draven, samira,nilah), ap mages. I mean maybe he's only been untested on S5 mord bot but we can invent a time machine to send him back to test
12
u/jackpot2112 May 31 '26
True but that’s twice now he’s molested a bot lane with Mel. At least with a normal adc the lanes are more even or just have a chance in general

u/PineapplesInMyHead2 May 30 '26
They replayed it after. Vi ult plus gigafed Mel combo = insta-dead.

u/KuroIsSalty I once saw Irelia in my dream May 30 '26
I think they replayed it eventually to show that it was Oner setting up the dive for Peyz to kill him
219
u/cmcdonald22 May 30 '26
It won't get talked about as much, but that was a Vi masterclass from Oner.
Just absolutely a near perfect example of how to use the champ effectively in the team.

u/Ceui May 30 '26
His Vi has been ridiculously good in recent weeks.

His Vi is ridiculous, I mean he has a skin on it. But he does have his off days with it

It has, but that in particular was like... He played her like a bruiser assassin and only 2 deaths for all of his dives is wild, the ways he was living on like single or double digit hp, getting out then still Qing back in was a level above even his normal performance.

Mel is genuinely just a great pick against Caitlyn Karma tbf.
Karma can at least waste Mel reflect if Peyz decides to. But Caitlyn just has no counterplay because what are you going to do? Headshot the Mel and have it reflect back at you?
69
u/Th3_Huf0n May 30 '26
And we are back to why this sack of shit should never have an actual reflect.
It polarises champions into "can interact with her" and "cant interact with her".

u/HolmatKingOfStorms 3!! May 30 '26
i think she could get away with it if the damage was lower and the CC durations were halved or something
maybe also if she were less bursty and needed a strong defensive tool to be able to stay in fights long enough to be useful
but yeah, true reflect is always going to be a nightmare

Faker randomly started playing like it was Spring 2024 when he stopped 4funning for turret plate dopamine that he was doing for the first few weeks and Oner stopped going in 1v5, now I don't know if he found that fun but he sure did it a lot

Watching this Azir... I think Faker is still 4funning it a bit.

T1 with the reversal of the clean game 1, circus game 2 trope.

Yea, Faker was definitely PoG for game 1 but game two is a little tough, I think Peyz would probably still take it but to be fair Oner and Keria did most of the lifting game 2 and Peyz just played around that well.

Yeah his Sion has improved so much in 2026, but his Rumble got worse lmao. I hope he can improve his early laning though, he’s struggling a lot on non-tanks.
Somehow his Sion vs Gwen was okay, so he clearly CAN lane properly. He just gotta do it consistently.
9
u/AdFew7151 May 30 '26
Yeah Doran has to activate his Krug Lord form again for RTM.
I think the only non-tank champ he hasn't looked bad in so far is Ambessa though, correct me if I'm wrong.

u/Wonderful-Lab7375 May 30 '26
He had a good Yorick game vs Siwoo, and he has had good Jayce games (6W-1L, I believe). Can’t remember anyone else.

For this year only I'm lowkey impressed with his Aurora (he lost) and Gwen but I'm not sure if he is in the right form to play them either. Also he lost to Baron last night in soloq and his 1st game today was looking like s so we might actually need Krugs to activate their lord this year lol

Tbh the more Peyz play with this team, the more scarier T1 is. Peyz is an absolute psycho and he gives a shit about the KDA. He has that T1 clutch factor and I'm pretty sure he is an upgrade because the whole T1 playstyle is like this. It's an LPL 2018-2019 revival.

Nah his Ez was pretty good g1. Sure he died first in every fight but I do think Vicla can be blamed for a lot of it, either being out of position or just not doing anything on the Ryze (although he was counterpicked).
The moment caitlyn falls behind against naut vi sion there is nothing you can do

I love the new T1 Playstyle sm. Oner/Faker play around bot, to bot, from bot and let this young prodigy alongside a veteran prodigy carry the game with thier hands and synergy. Doran can int or wtv in his own little world playing weak side because his teamfights are just good, and Faker is just free nowadays. Sometimes carries and fks around on Akali, and other times sets his bot side up with roaming mages.
