Think about Neeko's E compared with Lux's q.Think about her activeable leblanc's passive with movement speed boost.ALSO think about her 1.3 ap ratio nunu ult with a stun and a cancer shield which is also movable during preparation? It is just not fun to play against a champion that has one-shot ult, akali-like escape, and a unavoidable root.
She's over tuned. Every new champion is.
They will nerf her into being useless for half a season, then bring her back up.
Except it’s generally easy to tell which is the real Neeko if u pay attention to how they run. I’d give it a few weeks-month before people really start using the W as true mindgame stuff and even then it’s not toxic, the clone does next to nothing and only lasts 2 secs. You can’t control it beyond the general direction it’ll go. If it runs in a straight line it’s more than likely gonna be tho clone, not Neeko... throw some poke at one and if it moves a bit that’s Neeko. The E means u just don’t play in ur minion wave, similarly to how you play against a Yasuo (but much more forgiving) and opposite to how you play against Zoe). It’s an extremely slow skillshot before it hits a target. Occasionally you will get hit by the E, but you can work towards making sure it’s the shortest root duration... if it lands through multiple minions before hitting you, that’s really a display of skill on Neeko’s part and a lack of planning/understanding on ur end. (No offense) and yes eventually I’ll probably be hit by one... but if it’s multiple times then that’s largely ur fault. Neeko’s ult is very telegraphed when not glamored, either run from her or shunt as much dmg as possible into her, the shield really isn’t that big: the max it can get is 510+50%AP... and that requires her to be in the midst of 5 enemies. The moment Neeko’s ult is revealed and she’s near you, you and the team should apply ur burst to her. The shield is applied after the chargeup as she jumps, you can and should be able to burst her down in that window. If Neeko gets a Zhonyas u need to keep that in mind and instead of trying to burst her down, try to bait out the ult and run from it. If glamored she doesn’t show the channel.... however as soon as she takes damage she drops tha glamor so throw some poke at the champ.
She will get a nerf yes.... but it’s extremely likely that it’ll be a very small one because she’s actually quite balanced
