Not sure if this is intentional or not, but last night I was playing Neeko and if I used my passive to take on Kayn's appearance. I would always appear as base Kayn, even after he evolved. So I couldn't bamboozle the enemy team because it was very easy for them to tell us apart.
Sadly yeah , this It's definitely a bug, or they just didn't pay attention to it
Damn I thought you could stack his passive out and somehow permanently become Kayn
I've noticed this also happens with Kayle in that you remain in melee form even after Kayle hits level 11 and becomes a ranged champion. It's most likely a bug and they will fix it eventually.
There are quite a few champions whose appearance can change in ways that would need special testing for Neeko's passive to work correctly, and now I'm doubting whether they actually got it.
If Neeko imitates Nidalee, Jayce, Elise, or Gnar, does she copy the form they are in when she activates her passive? Does she change form when they do?
Is Neeko-as-Kindred accompanied by a fake Wolf? Does Neeko-as-Orianna appear to carry the Ball? Does Neeko-as-Aurelion-Sol have stars orbiting her?
When is Neeko-as-Kled mounted and when is she not?
From support -
Thanks for writing in about this. This is actually working as intended, as Neeko only copies a base form. A good way to think of it is like Neeko Doesn't copy a Cho'gath with max stacks or how it only copies human Nidalee.
It's stupid that once kayn transforms you can't copy his transformation because it just gives you away instantly. Then again it's a useless passive lmao, only good to hide ult channel.
This has been happening to me since neeko release
