Just a small Tip for supps playing with a Neeko on their team.

If Neeko imitates you and makes it into the bot lane bush unseen. Hide in the bush and don't come out (unless it's not opportune to do so).

The Neeko might want to trick your enemies into believing she's you, making them think they are still in for 2vs2 instead of a 2vs3.

Nothing new or game breaking, but I feel this will lead to a lot of frustration if people are not aware of this strategy.

Most supports have more significant CC than Neeko, so unless the Neeko is going via lane AND the bush is not warded, this does not seem very viable to me.

There is the 2 vs 3 aspect and then there is also the fact that neeko copies Hp bars. A low health supp (that actually is full health Neeko) is too juicy a target for most adcs to pass up on.

Also Neeko has the snare and her big as hell ult.

It might not always be viable, but I wouldn't ignore the strategy so soon.

Like I said, it is viable in some cases, but definetely not all the time as your post insinuates.

Idk Neeko E is far easier to hit than Nami Q or braum Q or R for that matter

Not when coming from the river - that way it's only a 0.5 second root.

did you read any of the post?

Yes I did, I thought it was about pretending to ward river while swapping out with Neeko ^^

Ofc you can also have a Neeko walk through leane while you hide in the river bush or lanebush, but that requires alot of preparation (sweeping wards beforehand, walking all the way around, etc.). While certainly doable it really takes more time than is worth :)

Also coupled with the fact that if a Neeko is taking up your place, there's a good chance your opposing laner will be left wide open for your CC as they'll be focused on positioning themselves away from the Neeko who they believe is you.
