Neeko's Abilities have been revealed & I'm actually happy with what we have. It does in fact seem that she functions as an AP Control/Trick Mage.
If I had to nitpick her kit, I'd say her ultimate has a mechanic I'm not too fond of. If you are using your passive, Opponents will not be able to see the initial cast of Neeko's Ultimate Ability.
Encephalitis3 votesi kind of like the 'not being able to see ult cast while using passive', but only if the dmg on the ult is lower than avg, but if they keep it to be big and bursty then idk if i'd like to experience that in game
HommeGoujon1 votesThat's precisely what I don't like.
Paroe3 votesThat's precisely what I don't like.
I think youre over reacting, you and many other people who are already screaming chicken little.
From what i saw, its easy to tell which one is her and which one isnt. Shes probably going to be strong in low ELO where people arent careful, but the higher up the less useful its going to be.
HommeGoujon2 votesI think you meant to reply to someone else coz what you just wrote has nothing to do with what I replied to.
I'm talking about this: "When disguised by Inherent Glamour, enemies won’t see Neeko’s initial charge-up." And I said "That's precisely what I don't like" in her kit... Now what exactly, in what Encephalitis or I wrote, are you referring to here: "From what i saw, its easy to tell which one is her and which one isnt."
And a moving nunu/amumu ult would be OP enough at any ELO. Now I just hope you can't Flash while she's in the air.

... No i responded to the person i meant to respond to. Or do i need a preamble for you where i state that you think her ult having a masked channel option is problematic, before i say why i think* that wont be the case?
Its not really an amumu ult from what ive seen. Its a zyra ult with a nifty stealth mechanic.
HommeGoujon1 votes"From what i saw, its easy to tell which one is her and which one isnt."... I still don't see what you were talking about but w/e.
I think her ult will be a problem, you don't. Fine. I hope I'm wrong.
"to massively damage and stun enemies in the area". Kinda fits Amumu's ult description but okay I see the "delay" of Zyra's ult in it. But don't forget the Slow + shield to start with. Also, she can probably root you with her E while she's charging up her ULT (just a guess) so your chances of escaping are rather low.
Again I just hope she can't flash while she leaps into the air.
The rest of her kit looks fine to me tbh.
Doge20201 votesYou probably can CC her too and stop her ult from channeling. If so then a team wide ult or other CC like Amumu ult, or Liss W for example would counter her.
Agent Corgi2 votesOverall, I love her kit & her Ultimate's is going to be really great for teamfighting. However, a heavy-hitting ability with CC that can be hidden from view might prove to be an issue.
Atleast in Sion & Nunu's case, these two have to plant themselves in one spot to get their heavy hitting abilities off & can be revealed with Wards.

And Neeko is revealed just by being hit. If a champion is just running up to you who wouldnt normally engage by running up to you... its probably a trap.
Agent Corgi1 votesThats a Good point actually.
I don't know, maybe it's just that I'm used to seeing new champions have some kind of broken mechanic in their kit somewhere.
Guess we'll just have to see where she goes first. Probably wait a month or two and see how the dice lands.
Lady Luminous2 votesI want her to be a viable jungler. I stopped playing support to carry myself and now this amazing champion with jungle potential is a support. Her Q literally resets on camps she should be a jungler as her secondary role.
Agent Corgi2 votesThat's another thing, I can see her being played in multiple roles as opposed to being completely shoehorned into one role.
Champions that can play in multiple roles tend to be really fun.
The Iceborn1 votesWhen is she gonna be available to play on live servers? Will she skip Pbe?

When is she gonna be available to play on live servers? Will she skip Pbe?
No. Shes probably going to be three or four weeks out; theres usually the teaser, the PBE release, a patch, then the release patch.
Agent Corgi1 votesPBE tomorrow or Wednesday, full launch in 2 weeks.
zoliking1 votesWith her around we'll now have the situation where somebody sees 3 Wukongs and none of them are real. :D
