Can Neeko get the Ryze treatment for her ult?

Extra Yukeh··2 votes·1,470 views

Neeko already has little counterplay due to the enormous shield and absurd radius of her ultimate. Can her ultimate be interrupted (treated as a channel) if she enters stasis while charging it? It's impossible to avoid if she starts channeling on top of you and you do not have any dashes or blinks. At least don't let her turn completely invulnerable during its effects as well.

Uhh no?

  1. Its already extremely easy to avoid her ultimate. Zhonya's, Flash, mobility spell, multiple champion abilities.
  2. Little counterplay? Dodge her skillshots? Dont let her run on top of you to ult? Seems like theres plenty to me.

"Dont let her run on top of you to ult" Right. Because your typical mage build does not provide a ton of movement speed. Neeko does not have anything in her kit that can let her approach slower enemies. Her primary counterplay is "dont get into her very long basic attack range, ever". You don't see the problem here?

Her skillshots have very wide hit boxes, and even if she misses she has a lot of movement speed compared to many older champions. Her ultimate slows, shields her and then stuns anyone inside its range - and its range is actually greater than an Amumu ult.

So basically, you NEED a mobility spell, an extremely high cooldown summoner spell or a very specific situational mage item to dodge her ult. When Neeko's ult has a 90 sec cooldown at level 6, BEFORE you factor in cooldown reduction.

You really can't see how overtuned she is? Compare her to champions with similar abilities - Nunu, Ryze, Wukong.

Oh...yeah...I've never had that happen. That interaction sounds almost as toxic as "you'll die before my passive does" karthus during a nexus blitz prize fight.

I personally think that disabling using any active items would be better, as it is supposed to be a time where Neeko charges up
