"Don't hotfix AD Neeko, she has a low playrate."

Ragnaveil·Mar 10, 2019·3 votes·1,302 views

Pro begs to differ, and I can tell you this will probably not be the only game that sees this build happen until it gets nerfed. IBG Klepto Vik had a pretty low playrate, yet pros used it in WORLDS. There's a healthy alternative build, and then there's a build visibly breaking a mechanic and/or kit effect. With how on hit Neeko is, pros will start playing it more and in return make everyone in soloqueue realise its a very overpowered build due to some mechanics, increasing the playrate, thus killing the argument of "its got a low playate". https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champion/Neeko/

Well if your arguement is to nerf because she is used in the LCS then go ahead and nerf every champion used in the LCS

so you're gonna cherry pick neeko, but not notice aatrox, renekton, or sejuani from the very same game?

do they need nerfs as well then?

People playing Aatrox in his current state dont know what they are doing. The champ legit lost half of his kit's strength with one nerf. Sej is being played because she's only good in pro. Meanwhile Neeko's build is gonna increase in playrate until it gets addressed, if it hasn't already.

Uh, there are better champs than Aatrox. Its just pro doesn't know when to let go, especially Korea. I mained Aatrox for both iterations, and I had to legit give up on playing him. Getting a lead means nothing without a team, and once midgame rolls around, your teamfight is dog due to having only one dash. He's practically being picked for his cc and GA, thats it.

"Better champs" yeah, the people who are payed and are better than the vast majority of the playerbase "don't know what they are doing" and "don't know when to let go". Whatever you say my friend

i've literally never seen this on hit neeko shit you talk of. you are literally circle jerking like this is the next big thing when it isn't. its not even that fucking strong. its just a slightly longer ranged version of teemo who still dies in 1 hit; and has better cc.

actually you may never have seen it cause it only popped up about a week ago. but it is in fact a thing that seems to be increasing in popularity. cant speak until ive played it tho, 2 games in and im not doin so hot tho, but then again im just a new neeko lel

this build is rly bugged i play against her and lvl one it seems she does way too much dmg on autos on every auto not only the 3 one legit something is off here and that champion needs to legit get his w dmg taken away from her to stop this way of playing her and riot should stop putting dmg passives on utility or scape spells period

I watched that game, the Neeko had the smallest impact. The botlane and Karthus were way more oppressive.
