Neeko QOL change

When Neeko is disguised she should be able to change back into herself without attacking.

This is currently how her Passive mechanic works, she can disguise as someone else but she must stay as them or switch to other champions until she attacks an enemy champion. In the image above there's an extra space. Riot should add Neeko into the extra space. It would enhance her trickery and make her passive more useful.

An example is that a Neeko turns into a toplane fighter for the extra base movespeed to get to lane and she cant transform back without using her Q or E. It is disadvantageous because it makes enemies more aware of your playstyle and is awkward in lane. When I turn into Aatrox to run faster and then I have to arrive in lane as him, the enemies obviously know that Im Neeko and the trickery is ruined. I have to awkwardly stand in the lane as Aatrox until I use my Q or E again. It feels embarrassing for the Neeko in a way.

tl;dr As Neeko you want to be constantly using your passive but not letting your enemies know that you are until you strike, not being able to switch out without using Q or E ruins her trickery and is awkward because it breaks the illusion.

I think the reason they disallow this is because it could game the cooldown. You only have be out of combat to disguise normally , but if you attack out of a disguise it goes on a 15ish second cooldown. If they allowed you to change back at will then good players would undisgiuse immediately before attacking, ignoring the cooldown. Just my guess as to why they disabled it.

Neeko Queen Of Lesbians change?

But it would put the passive on CD? Feels like a buff because now you have to either spent mana or Hp(aka get hit) to make your passive to start counting down again. I haven't played much neeko so I could be blatantly mistaken

Why not just go from melee to ranged? Draven and Soraka are right there.

What about her Passive CD? I like this QoL buff, but I feel like Riot especially avoided it for a reason.

Or you could... transform to a different champion that makes sense in that lane?

There's situations when it makes no sense for you to be a different champion in the lane. Esp when your adc or support Neeko it feels bad bc not all champions have as high base attack speed, range, or regen as Neeko. It kind of makes the enemy more aware of your passive because they see that you're using it alot.

Overall the whole trickster thematic has failed everytime Riot has tried to implement it. Neeko, LeBlanc, Shaco, and now even Wukong.

Players are either too smart and see through it immediately in High ELO or players too dumb to use it effectively in Low ELO
