First Attempt With Neeko - Assessment
Was this a gift to those of us who've played a LOT of Shaco over the years?
What Happened: Let's start with the fact I ran her in the support slot. The ability to confuse as to which ADC was the real one, fake going deep as the ADC with my clone, and root, it made sense. It also worked in a horrible way. The two times Volibear ganked us we either blew him apart, or I made it seem as if Trist was going for their support.
Her damage is INTENSE. I accidentally pulled a triple kill due to her passive stacked with Lich Bane. Quite a number of times there were 3 LeBlanc on the board, which our LeBlanc capitalized on HEAVILY and utterly decimated. Whoever she left I cleaned up easily.
Was able to kite Riven and Volibear into oblivion, all the while blowing monster chunks out of them.
Overall: She is fun, and fairly refreshing with how she uses her ability to clone and chameleon. That said she has a TON of utility and escape at her disposal for a champion that hits as hard as she does. Stuns, roots, slows, clones, stealth, shield, AOE damage with everything, and a single target nuke once she has a lich bane with her passive.
Seriously overtuned if someone like me can pick her up and score an 'S' out the door. Either tone down her damage, or strip away some of the utility.
EDIT: Seems she becomes immune to a lot while ulting as well, like Zoe sleep to the face.
