can't wait for the neeko nerfs

don't get me wrong, neeko is fun to play against, her disguise mechanic creates some super cool moments and baits and also create pressure if you disguise as your jungler.

but goddamn she is so fuckign overtuned

the third q explosion should do the most damage, not the first, other wise she can just throw qs randomly

i once saw a lee get chuncked 50% hp by a q (not three explosions, just the first one) and all she had was a blasting wand. she wasn't even fed

her autoattack damage is too high for a mage, i played as yasuo and she actually matched my dmg basic attack vs basic aatack agains minions lvl1

her root is.. fine, but kinda dumb that it roots for longer than a morg q for an ability that isn't that hard to pull off

her ult is ok, but again, why the fuck does she get a shield even though the enemies get rooted? where's the "high-risk high-reward"?

I know riot likes to overtune a champ (i guess boosting champion sales is part of the idea), but goddamn her damage is nuts early on and still scales into late

The only way the first proc of q brings someone to 50% is if the Neeko is severely ahead and has AP and Mpen. First proc only has a 50% Ap scaling with 250 base dmg when maxed.

Lvl 1 most champs have around the same dmg from (normal) autos give or take up to ~15 AD. Neeko’s is 10 lower than a Yasuo.... what u likely experienced is a person who was more skilled than what ur used to playing against. Several people underestimate weaving autos in between spells, (part of why I take the AS increase). Neeko incentivizes autos with the passive from W. The E... it actually is quite goddamn easy to play around. Stop playing in the minion wave/grouped up. That’s literally the only way she can get a meaningful-long snare/root. When hit point blank by the E it only lasts .5 seconds... much lower than most hard CC abilities. The shield from ult is negligible unless surrounded by all 5 enemies... and at that point it only activated when she jumps. So instead of just running away, pump ur damage onto her. She’s a squishy champ.

The one thing I can get behind is balancing out her dmg from q, shift 10-15%of its initial proc into the 2nd and third proc. This likely would happen if he does get the buffs to her passive and w (slight mpen from being invisible and the disguise changes.)
