Neeko has a cool champion design, but

In a meta where a lot of us complain on the boards about annoying champions to play against , I think it should be worth noting that this champion has the potential to further the dislike of going against these types of champions. These might be fun to play, but I can already see facing against a Neeko will be incredibly... annoying.

This feeling is a lot of what we have right now. Often times when the enemy locks in a certain pick, I only think of how annoying it'll be to face against, and if our team does well, then it's still annoying to play against them because special attention has to be placed on their champions otherwise things will get quickly out of control. If we're losing against these types of champions, then it's quite possibly the worst feeling in the world and the idea of a comeback doesn't feel like enjoyment, it feels like a chore.

I think a solution would be, as we have already seen mentioned countless times on the board, is to buff the counterplay to this subset of champion types, in other words, buff tanks. A buffed or or will make the player feel like they have more options of counterplay and less annoyance.

But please, while you're doing so, don't force a return to the tanks only meta. A common pattern we see on the boards is asking for one or two buffs/ nerfs and after about 6 months, we will receive these buffs/ nerfs in hyper-extension, thus shifting the meta completely around rather than balancing it. Even so, I personally enjoyed the tank meta more a lot more than this meta.
