Neeko's Ult is Overloaded

Woodakoodashooda·Dec 8, 2018·7 votes·1,749 views

Massive AoE damage, AoE slow during prep, AoE stun on execution, a massive AP scaling shield, and it is uninterruptible unless she's killed. On top of which, if she starts it while disguised, you won't see its preparation even if you know it's her.

It's like Riot threw everything they could think of into it. The only thing it doesn't have is a complimentary gap closer.

This is among the most disgustingly broken ultimates in the game.

I say one of the most because a rank 3 Kassadin ultimate remains unsurpassed to this day, but that's another topic of discussion.

Another post by someone who hasn't even tried to use her ult as a Neeko player.....

Her ult has extreme limitations.

It roots her during the same exact duration that it slows others.
She has no real gap closers.
There's a 2 second channel before it casts.
If you do use her one gap closer, the enemy KNOWS it's Neeko.

Well actually you can press R and still run, you are rooted in place for like 0.75 seconds. flash? or mind games with disguise is her gap closer. The ult is broken dont justify it. its like justifying zoes existence you just simply cant

flash isn't one of her abilities though? and if she can trick the enemy into engaging on her then she deserves the outcome of the ultimate.

she deserves an aoe veigar damage ult? for standing still 0.75 seconds in the middle? meme?

Might aswell make katarinas ult do the same and let her do all of its damage in 0.75.

Maybe if Neeko had a blink on a 0 second cooldown you'd have a point.

Everything I said is true. The root is the SAME TIME AS THE SLOW. You have 2 seconds to get away from her "while she can run." I'm dominating with Neeko, and even I miss about 60% of ults, because it's easy to react to. Many champs literally escape just outside the radius.

And no...... it's not a Veigar aoe ult..... It doesn't scale, and does about the same damage as a Zoe Q. If you actually bother to get Magic Resistance, she will get the damage cut in half. If you don't..... yes. like ANY mage...... it will murder you.

Her ult isn't overloaded, it's overtuned. I think the damage could be reduced by a tiny amount, along with her initial Q cast, and she'd be perfectly fine.
