Neeko Ulti Thoughts and concerns

I honestly love neeko. Her art, personality, and char model design are amazing and so much fun to use. I do however have some minor concerns regarding her synchronicity with the R ability design.

Her R is really hard to land without flash. The most effective way is by using her W and or using her passive to confuse them a bit at start, but it can still be tough unless the enemy team is completely ignoring you. For a char with no escape/mobility spells besides the minor W speed. I don't understand why they you gave her an ulti like that as a mage?

  • She lacks the mobility required for it.
  • Needs Flash up if you want a really good set up with it.
  • W can work sometimes, but not all the time.
  • Most of the time you might die or just miss completely because of the lack of mobility and defense.
  • The shield should honestly turn on before the drop to help her survivability =/
  • The R is really OP/bloated just to balance out/ make out the bad mechanic synchronicity she has to make it actually land/work without dying in the processor before it goes off.

Her R just doesn't synchronize with her kit imo and very hard to get off. Yes, it's rewarding, VERY rewarding when it does... but at a huge cost if it doesn't--meaning death and the cost begins the second you attempt to cast it because you can die before it even goes into shield stage portion.

Its kind of weird going from a mage where all her abilities synchronize well with each other --ZOE-- to a mage design where her abilities are kind of "seen" already, a 2.0 version of current mage's abilities (example Zyra snare vs neeko's 2.0 snare----lux E vs neeko's 2.0 Q). To be honest, I expected much more in creativity for a mage ability set design after getting zoe's unique kit =/.

Sona: Has an ult that, often times, requires flash to get a good engage ult with. Annie: Again, flash for a good Tibbers. Brand: Can also flash to get a good ult off. Darius: Surprisingly, I see this guy flash A LOT for ults. Fiddlesticks: Even with the initial jump it gives, sometimes you just gotta flash for it. Cassiopeia: Flashing for this ult is also most common, as it gives the enemy no chance to turn around unless you get unlucky. Chogath: Flash nom Evelynn: Yeah, she may have a 'leap' already but sometimes you just can't get in range and gotta flash for that execute. Illaoi: Pretty much the only way to start an engage with Illaoi, is to flash ult. Garen: Sometimes you just gotta. Kayle Kindred Zilean : Just gotta save someone. And for Kindred, your leap may not get you close enough. Kennen: Can't always just e in. Lulu: Gotta get them saves. Morgana: How else are you gonna use a Morg ult? Walk into them? Orianna: Do you know how many times I've seen an Ori flash ult? Pyke: This guy likes to flash for ult. Rakan: Also likes to flash for ult. Skarner: Also flashes for ult. Swain: So many times do I see this guy flash in for the 5-man ult burst. Syndra: Flash ult. Veigar: Flash ult. Viktor: Flash ult. Warwick: Sometimes you just gotta get into that range.

These are all/most of the champions that combo their ult with flash. And not all of them are supports/mages. We have a few adcs, a couple bruisers, a tank, an assassin, and whatever Pyke is.

What bad mechanics! She looks very fun and enjoyable to play! I think her snare snagging the back door instead of the front row is ingenious! That means when the enemy tries to engage proper the back row ends up getting caught and either they have to stall to protect them or they get assassinated! Also due to her ability to make herself look like a more valuable target (like say the adc all alone?) that easily sets it up for the enemy to fall upon her to which she dumps her ult on top of them for the rest of the team to engage! I think I also heard that you can queue up her ult while she is in copying someone else so she can queue it as they engage as well! Of course i'm seeing her as a new on-hit attacker like kennen or twisted fate or Lulu, with fun skills for escaping and engaging and misdirecting! Yup, spot on kit, spot on.

She's op asf on ARAM with her ult. Throw a snowball and ult then dash to the enemy is just unavoidable.
