My thoughts on Neeko.
I feel like
is an amazing champion concept, however, there are some parts of her kit that I feel are just too strong. So, in this post I want to go over what I feel would be healthy changes to make
less overwhelming for the enemy team.
Passive: This part is fine, it is well designed and balanced in a healthy way
Q and W: These are also fine, they are healthy aspects of her kit.
e: I feel like landing it through minions is a good mechanic, however point blanking it feels too powerful. I believe that the base root duration (0.5 seconds) should be reduced while the empowered root duration stays the same. This would encourage Neeko players to find positions to maximize effectiveness of e. Maybe a base root duration of 0.3 seconds, while this is very short I think it is a good change. ( Please leave comments if you disagree.)
R: This is one of the most powerful initiating ultimates in the game. I think the damage is fine and the stun is okay. However, I think the radius of the ultimate can be reduced. This would force Neeko players to get in closer and play more risky with this ultimate. A radius reduction of 100 is probably healthy. Another possible change would be to increase the duration of the the channel from 1.25 seconds to 1.75-2 seconds. Just to allow enemies more time to escape the ultimate before Neeko casts.
