LOCKE JUNGLE Is SECRETLY His BEST Role!

Hey guys, it's Perry. Today we're playing some Locke in the jungle. Locke is a very weird champion. I haven't actually played him, so I don't really know what to expect. I know how his full clear works, so bear with me guys as we figure out how to play Locke and how to absolutely 1v9 this game. Q, Q, Q, and then auto. That's your technique, right? It's pretty straightforward, but you pretty much need to land all of your Qs in order to deal any damage. Like, you're essentially not a champion unless you land these spells. From what I've seen at least, that's the way I understand. It's like if you don't land your Qs, you're useless. You put your points into your E and you can— it's kind of like a double dash. Like the way I look at it is it kind of feels like an Ambessa. Yeah, he teleports to a location to a nearby enemy and then his next attack he dashes again. So it's a fixed distance, but like if the enemies are over the wall, then it goes through. It's sort of like Echo E. So it's a perfect Explanation is Echo E. His W, man, you guys have to see it. Like, I actually don't even know how to explain his W. It's such a weird spell. We're not gonna put a point to our W just yet. It's like a mix of, I don't know, like Mundo— it's like Mundo X something. Yeah, we'll show you guys in a second once we get the spell. For now, as you guys can see, like, the clear is just like whatever. You just spam your Q, you're not that fast. It kind of sucks, but it is what it is. It's sort of like Pyke W. Yeah, yeah. Let's read it here. So you get your own soul, you gain attack speed. So you're autoing pretty fast. And then you kind of lose HP. He suffers 2% current health true damage, but heals back the last percent. So you heal it back. So it's really interesting because you lose it, but you also heal it back. I have to show you guys in a fight. It's the best way to really show you guys. Let's go and drop a ward here. They have an Aesol jungle. Wait, what the fuck? I've been so focused on my game, I didn't even notice they have a fucking Aesol jungle. It's the battle of the shitty— the battle of the shit stains. Both junglers are just fucking shit stains, bro. He did a Raptor start. We see the, um, Irelia and Sol up there, so he has no blue buff. So if he doesn't go for his blue buff, I will cook him. Like, look at his pathing here. He looks like he's walking towards the blue, so I'm gonna take his Raptors here. I'm gonna sit here. Let's do a little lock dance. We should flip a few coins. Wait, how do you flip it? How do you do a flip? Fuck, that's bad. That's actually bad fucking luck. If you don't land the flip, it's actually not good. Let's keep farming down here and let's go for his Krugs as well. So can I E over this wall if I don't see a target? I can. Interesting. So it's like, it's like, it's like Ekko E. Okay, so this Aatrox is like, oh no, my Raptors are gone. Okay, I can't necessarily overstay for more here unfortunately. Let's just recall and then go back to our top camps. We're going to go for a Lich Bane. And what I'm probably going to do is buy our Blasting Wand and then just deploy. Uh, let's E out of base for more speed. So let's use our W. So you gain move speed as well in your W. So you can sort of see I lose HP and then I gain it back. It's so interesting. Uh, it's so interesting as a spell. Let's Q, Q, Q. And I'm pretty sure all of our damage on this champion comes from landing Qs. If you don't land Qs, you're not doing too much damage. You auto— your autos do a good amount with your W as well. But it's all about landing your Qs. So let's go here. You can also think about it like Rengar W. Yeah, like Rengar W is a good way to think about it too. Uh, you kind of can just like heal the damage back. So it's W, Q, Q, Q, and it's like, okay, I'm strong, I'm strong, W, and I get my HP back. This Yasuo needs to stay the fuck away from me. Q, Q, Q, bang. It's pretty nice. Like, once your Q is like lower cooldown, I think this champion gets a bit stronger. Like, I'm actually dealing some good damage. Bot lane's winning. Okay, great. So we have a hard-winning bot lane. Let's grab the Gromp. Let's grab the camp here. And then what we want to do is possibly play for the Dragon potentially once our bot lane recalls. If Lux scores a takedown, it resets. Okay, that's fire. Okay, it auto-casts it. Yeah, so you don't need to recast it. It will automatically give it back to you. Let's on the way ping here once they recall. So once my, once my Karma is back with my Kai'Sa, we will do the dragon. Finish this here. I have bigger smite than the enemy jungler if he comes, just in case. Now here's one thing I don't, I don't have any idea how it works. I have no idea how my ulti works, so bear with me, chat. Work with me here. Wait, okay, let's read it. He throws a binding artifact to the location. Interesting. It's also an execute, it looks like, so that's also really interesting. We're going to use our W here to hit this faster. Looks like we took no damage there. Very interesting. To kill people with your ult, you pick up their skull and increase the execute threshold. Okay, so we want to kill people with their ults. Okay, understood, understood. So you throw Binding down, you slow the area, and then you end up marking them, which is cool. Okay, so the mark is cool. The artifact hits enemies for 5 seconds, stealing away marked enemy champions brought below 10% HP and resetting the duration of the mark. Okay, so below 10% HP, we shit on them. After the duration ends, if at least one champion was sealed, the artifact lands on the ground, Locke can pick it up and increase damage percent by 0.5%. You can get much stronger, it seems, if— as long as you get kills with your ulti. So you got some insane scaling with your ulti as well, which is fire. Really interesting stuff so far that I'm seeing. The clear doesn't feel too bad. I mean, this game is really fucking easy so far, uh, but I really wonder how he's going to look in a fight. So this is a great game where it's like I'm playing jungle as best I can. Like, I'm literally doing everything perfectly. I'm re-invading his Raptors. I'm farming all my camps. So depending on how the fights look, it'll really be a clear demonstration to me about how strong this champion truly is. If the fights look bad, even though I'm farming this well, then this champion sucks. But if the fights look good, then that'll be exciting. Auto, auto, auto. Q, Q, Q. Auto, bam! It's such a weird combo, honestly. Like, just Q, Q, Q, like Q, Q, Q, auto is your full combo. It's just so funny. Hey, and we got 3 kills on that guy too. Doing some cool double camps on this champ is probably like necessary to have good, good clear speeds later on in the game. So just be as mindful as you can about that. We want to go for this Raptor respawn camp if we can. Okay, let's see, this is the Raptors up. Not up. This guy is like kind of low. Holy— okay, okay, interesting. Okay, we killed him and now we, we increased our threshold, right? We increased threshold because I picked it back up. I have one sealed champion. Well, I actually did a lot of burst damage. You're actually like an AP Assassin. Like, that was a lot of burst damage there. Okay, that's fire. I can also go over walls here. I can do this. I wonder what happens if I— yeah, I, I'm, I'm dashing, so I need to be careful there. Our wave is so far away. Okay, but like, I, I took turret shot damage and I just, I just healed back up. It's my W. That's so interesting. Okay, Ashe used Flash. No way, bro. No way. There are no secrets with me. Oh my God, that was it right there. Oh shit, I fucked up. Yo, my fault, my fault, my fault. Click him. Oh my God, that's, that's actually not bad. Look, like, lowkey, that's not bad. What the fuck? Like, because your E is like guarantees your damage, so if you land your Qs you just guarantee get your E off. And like, wait, that's kind of broken. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, this shit might actually be OP. I'm thinking to myself like, how strong actually is it? And from what I've seen so far, he's actually not that bad. I know the win rate shows really low, but as an assassin champion, if you play like this, it's really OP. Let's see if this is up. I don't think it's up. If you play him like a real assassin, you deal a fuck ton of damage. I mean, to be fair, yeah, I mean, to be fair, someone in chat saying like, yo, they got an ASOL, they got an ASOL jungle, he's just doing nothing. I mean, yeah, but the champ damage alone is what I'm really, really thinking about here, and the champ damage is fucking high. Holy shit. Holy shit, that's kind of crazy. No, that guy got fucking— that, that poor fucking Soraka got pummeled, pummeled, partied. You are there, he said for sure. The, the Azul— wait, how does my R work? I actually, I don't know how my ult works, guys. I'm sorry, I don't know how this works, so bear with me as I, as I try to keep learning my ult here as we go. Don't use it next to you. The ult tags them for 5 seconds and brings them Oh, it's not an actual execute. Thank you, that, that helps a lot. Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you. Okay, the enemy— I wonder if we can kill the enemy Ashe here. Okay, bro, what the fuck is that damage, bro? Holy shit. So is this skill shot like missable? Because it's so big, we don't— you have to pick it up. Wait, I didn't pick it. Wait, is it gonna— is it gonna go away? Wait, oh wait, guys, is it gonna go away? Does it despawn ever? Come back to me, come back to me, soul. No, it's not despawning. Wait, it's gonna reduce my Oracle down. Oh my gosh, don't mind if I fucking do. Yo, Ashe, do me a favor, face check this bush. Don't W it, don't eat it. Okay, fuck off. This Ashe is fucking terrified, man. Rightfully so, but damn. Wait, that shit stays forever? What the fuck? That's so cool. And it reduces your cooldown by 20%. Interesting stuff. Q, Q, Q, bang. I wonder if like I want CDR then, or to farm quicker. I guess CDR is nice, but in, in like actual damage, in terms of damage, I don't think it's that necessary. Like, it's cool to have more, more CDR like, don't get me wrong, because it helped me clear faster, but when it comes to like what I actually need in the game, I think I need more damage, pure damage. I only have 50 seconds to pick it up. If you die, use a stack. Oh, interesting. Okay, so it's only 50 seconds then, guys. It's not, it's not infinite. Coming, bro. What the fuck? What the fuck? Oh, I can't. He fucking used Flash. Holy shit. Nah, that's still crazy though. Like, me dying aside, I QQQ'd, E auto'd, and he died. I think people are playing this champ poorly though. He seems like a farming scaling jungler. Like, this guy does not want to fight. Even if he's a laner, like, he's actually not that strong. He has insane scaling ratios, it looks like. Like, what the fuck? That guy got one-shot. I want to get my vengeance, bro. Let's, let's see if I can kill, kill this, kill this Vayne, get my vengeance. Oh, there's fighting mid lane. That is really bad. Shut down, shut down. We kill that guy there. Give me my stack. I forget my— I keep forgetting my little stack thing. It refreshes my cooldown by a bit too, which is huge. Their Vayne is really good at dodging these Qs. Good for that Vayne, bro. Sorry, bro, this Vayne is a fucking problem. Okay, so can we carry this game? Because this Vayne is fucking Thanos. That is the question. This guy is by himself doing it. Unless my GP can stop him. No. If only GP had like R or something, maybe it's possible, but I don't think so. Okay, let's grab the Herald. We have 2 early Dragons as well. What item are we going last is the thing, or next I should say. I think it's just like more damage, so like a Rabadon's is not bad. A Liandry's, what's— or not a Liandry's, a, um, Zhonya's seems okay too. But Rabadon's, because they're not really buying Yeah, I think, uh, Rabadons would make the most sense here, especially with how strong I am. Bonk, bonk, bonk. It feels so good to bonk people like that. Yeah, these guys are fucking inting here hard. I'm going to W for move speed. Holy fuck, they died so fast too. That's, that's the crazy part. I should have bolted there, huh? Fuck. Did I get my stack or no? Wait, I didn't get my stack. Or why? Because he— because he wind walled my thing. Honestly, I think— I think he wind walled my thing, so I don't get my stack. But it's not the end of the world. So we've got some +2% on our execute threshold. It's so interesting because my ult range is so big. So I can use my ult from across the screen. I need to start like doing that. Well, are we killing Aesol? Nice, stay alive team. Oh, they're winning, they're winning, nice. With my team winning as well, it's fucking huge. The nail sounds really nice. Yeah, the nails are like satisfying as fuck. Okay, I have my Rabadons. I'm gonna fucking one-shot people. No, I'm so excited actually to see my Rabs damage. Oh my God, and like, in like an actual ranked Masters game, like, let's see how much damage we're going to deal. So I hit the enemy and it slows people 20%. Okay, I need— I honestly should have gone to a practice tool and really seen what my ulti does, cuz that was the one spell I actually don't know how the fuck works on this champion. I can come hover you, bro. This A is fucking useless. Your E gets reset so I can do that and then run away. Oh fuck, it wasn't enough damage. Oh, that Vayne is actually so fed. It should still be fine. Oh my God, is she buying MR? No, I, I just— I only got 2 nails on her. I only got 2 nails on her. So wait, but like, where are they going? The Aatrox died. I have a Rengar W. I have a dash that resets. Yo, Riot cooked too hard with this kit. I feel too powerful right now. I'm feeling a little too fucking powerful right now. Oh, GP lost the barrel. That Ashe is so weak. Bro, they're hunting, man. They're fucking hunting. Guy's just like, oh yo, what up, bro? Okay, what am I buying? I'm trying to decide, but honestly, at this point I have enough damage. I should probably buy Zhonya's. Like, it's all fun to go for like more damage, but in reality, buying a Zhonya's makes the most sense for sure. Oh, they're fucking cooked here, bro. My teammates don't even need me, man. This is so boring. You need to scale on this champ, like it is a, it is a must. You are not an early game champion, and so if you're playing this champion in lane, like it makes sense why he sucks in lane as well, because he's not that strong in lane. He, he's a hard scaler, hard, hard scaler. This is the jungle champ, I think. Oh shit, I don't Zhonya's. Whoops. I should have Zhonya's there. If I Zhonya's, that would have been so much— it would have been so much cleaner. I also like— I'm not using my ulti like at all, but like holy shit, Acel farmed all game and did nothing just, just, just to still be useless. Holy shit. So first impressions on Locke, they are going to nerf his ratios. They like— they must nerf this guy's ratios. Let's see how much damage I did. But it literally feels like I'm playing creative mode, like just one-shotting people for no fucking reason. But like, let's see, like what's going on here. I'm gonna honor the ASOL for playing ASOL, man. Promoted to Master, it's beautiful. Let's see here, we did 26k damage. Like, it's not the end of like— it's not like I'm a DPS champ, but when it comes to like pure one-shot damage, I deal a lot of one-shot damage. You guys saw, I was just one-shotting people left and right. Made no sense, my damage made no sense at all. I'm gonna learn a little more about the ultimate. Maybe I'll play him some more in the jungle just to show you guys a little bit more. But yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed that first take, first glance at Locke in the jungle, what it looks like. I'll see you guys in the next one. Peace, peace.
