If Neeko won't work on jungle she'll be a missed opportunity.

She definetly will work mid but mid is a solo lane so why give her a mimic passive. As a support she can turn only into the adc (unless the jungler ganks) so In all honesty I think she would work best as a jungler considering her theme. Design wise it would be weird to make the chameleon and mimic champion either unable to disguise himself unless ganked or only turn into one champion for the majority of laning fase. Her ult, q, w passive and normal passive would make her amazing at ganking.

I think she'd make a horrible laner. Jungler shows up and suddenly your passive kicks in... enemy immediately thinks "oh look, I'm being ganked". ^_^

Well it is more so for late game and they are eventually going to just remove wards from the game altogether with the trend they are showing so it will be crazy strong at that point.

AngelGlowArrow, do you ever play jungler? I'm asking because the more I think about it, the harder it'd be to make her a jungler outside of the LCS. In fact I'm starting to question her mimic ability completely. For solo queue the ability is going to be crap outside of team fights in the jungle only because to get full use out of it, you'll need a weird path. Even with her W active I don't think it's going to be enough time to be useful outside of cat and mouse jungle skirmishes. For pro play, there are a ton of better junglers with CC for the pros to pick and she doesn't seem like a level 2 ganker. If she is picked in pro play, I'm guessing it'll be as a support in a protect the vayne/kog comp.

Another issue I have with her is I feel like teleport would be needed for most shenanigans and only top/mid can afford that summoner spell. I don't see her going top often.

The absolute best use of her passive I can think of is if she feeds in lane but her ADC is carrying. In a teamfight she can copy the ADC and let the other team blow everything on her, thinking she's the fed ADC. I don't expect most players to have that kind of awareness though.

Doesn't her Q pop off monsters?

I don't think she'd work jungle, I mean it would be pretty obvious who you are if you're enterring lane from river, she might as well not use her passive.

She functions better with a jungle to disguise as, to fake gank different lanes or make it harder to dodge the gank since you don't know which spells are coming out where.

Imagine getting ganked by 3 gragas, but you don't know which one is going to body slam somebody or which is going to distance root you.

Yeah she'll work.

She has two AOE spells and a passive on hit effect, so she can clear the jungle easily with attack speed runes.

Her E is a 3 second root if you use it right, her ult appears to be a 1.5 second stun, she has an invisibility to set this all up, and her damage isn't lacking either.

Clearing Gromp will be her only real struggle.

TBH she seems like she'll work in every role except maybe top, and even then she'll fit as something along the lines of Teemo.

With her lines talking about the jungle and having buffs i honestly thought she was mainly a jungler and not a midlaner.
