I think if Riot wants to up the trickery from Neeko's W, they should change it's animation.

Namely the fact that it enters her Homeguard run. This is kind of a dead give away that, well, she w'd.

Maybe make it so it uses whatever running animation she currently has when casting the ability?

My only problem with it is that the clone runs faster than Neeko.

It should be obvious she used her clone, it should not be obvious which IS the clone.

Maybe make it so they both disappear for a moment shaco ult style, minus the intargetability?

pretty sure she already does that, full shaco style.

It's the only reason i can see singed fling being cancelled by that crap.

In my experience she just starts running out of nowhere as the clone takes her place making the ability obvious.

She doesn't. You do not hinder any of your actions, you just keep going but Invisible and spawn clone that runs other way.

As for Singed, I don't play him so don't know whether his fling doesn't work that way against all champions he targeted but go invisible before he starts animation. If it works that way for everyone it's consistent. If it works that way only with Neeko, it's a bug because once again, she doesn't do it Shaco-style.

The one running away from me is usually the real neeko, just like the shaco that's behind the other one is usually the real shaco ;)

It's not meant to be completely full proof. If you know you're dealing with a Neeko, you should be seeing that homeguard run because it helps out in a really specific way. Reacting on visual stimuli alone (Neeko is there ATTAC) and taking a moment to pick apart the finer details is the counterplay to Neeko's trickery.

Im just suggesting this since they buffed the clone duration, and said she wasnt trickery enough.

Lol I have a highlight saved from her release week. I was in blind in a mirror match. I used the clone to run back to my tower and I ran into river towards bot. I watched the other neeko flash ult the clone and stand there for a good 5 seconds; assuming in shock... I was dying laughing

when you and your clone walk to the same direction the clone will always be ahead of you so not rlly hard to figure it out
