so as every new champ riot has admitted that they do buff the champ enormously so players can learn the champ. i get that but still its just plain stupid. her ult deals almost half my hp and her whole kit togheter is stupid. E roots and her R shields her for some weird reason stuns and also deals a huge AOE dmg. w.t.f riot?
JeaneGreene9 votesShe is honestly really balanced. Try fighting her has kalista and see her die incredibly easily. Mobility shuts her down so fast because she is reliant on landing an empowered E to get any damage off.
YellowFrog9 votesI think you're a little over dramatic there. she is really squishy and her ult is hard to land in most situations.
Aaron Chadwick8 votes'hard to land'
you can literally charge it up and flash into people without them knowing you're even charging it
BaDs644 votesYeah the q hides it doesn't it? And the stun of course is wonderful.

oh? do you even realize how many champs have ults that fk you way harder without even needing a charge or to burn flash for.. :'D ... she doesnt need R nerf.. . its basically the same as kennens yet she has no gap closer or mobilty for it, like say fiddle... kennen.. amumu.. etc. youd have to burn a flash and hourglass to use it in teamfights. & without that TEENY window of stealth she gets.. hellen keller could avoid it. im a fidd main and i can assure you fidd R is more broken not considering his kit as well. shes rly not BuStED RiOt nErf like all these bandwagon plebs cry.. there are far more filthy champs that need nerfs WAY more than neeko.
SpankMyPhatAshe7 votesCompare her to most burst champions and she is pretty balanced. Play her a few times and you will notice she is not that OP it's just people don't know how her range or how dangerous she can be if you misstep with her.
Melager127 votesWhy people are complaining about Neeko, when Lux or Veigar are much more fucked than Neeko LOL
AliasIsJay4 votesWhy people are complaining about Neeko, when Lux or Veigar are much more fucked than Neeko LOL
Lux doesnt have the neekos passive or her w, aka, you will always be able to hit her, plus lux's root is way slower than neekos. Neeko needs a nerf and an ability hitbox readjusting, i JUST finished a match against her and Im 100% sure her root could not have hit me. And what do you mean a single q pop does 200+ damage when she has 75 ap...
and veigar actually needs to stack, and also, hes immobile, and you can literally see half his kit coming before they actually get there...his ult and q are the exceptions. Veigar needs to stack, he RELIES on him stacking to be able to one shot. And even then, if youre playing a champ that has anything related to blocking abilities or dodging them then you should be fine most of the time.
Mobility wise i think neeko is way more mobile than lux and veigar (her is a clone plus speed buff)
Warlord Rhinark6 votesRemove Neeko*
FTFY
Flexexos6 votesYou complain about neeko, but veigar or syndra are much stronger, and they don't need to be fed to insta kill you
AliasIsJay2 votesYou complain about neeko, but veigar or syndra are much stronger, and they don't need to be fed to insta kill you
Veigar doesnt need to be fed if he has time, getting fed just makes him one shotting you faster, why? because he relies on stacking, if you cant last hit minions with as veigar, youre useless. Syndra is harder than neeko in my opinion. I have not played neeko at all, and im not exactly that familiar with syndra either, but ive played her a handle full of times tbf so my experience with her isnt that amazing. Syndra needs to summon multiple balls if she wants to one shot early. Her ult does hella damage, sure, her knockback/stun is hella annoying, sure but she actually needs to learn where to position herself for her stun to work. Neekos root goes through minions, and it gets stronger and longer (at least longer) if it goes through them...i dont know if it has a minion limit or not, but what i saw before is it going through 2 champs and hitting a third with the empowered one.
G145KA5 votesthe only reason neeko can carry is by feeding her, I played against her in many lanes even in jungle, war wick, garen and many more can easily take her down, she cant be as powerful as aatrox. Nerfing her will just make her one of the weakest champs
CasabIancas5 votesWtf are these guys even on about? yes she needs a nerf. She has way too much damage for all that cc. Keep also in mind that she is a mage jungler/mid laner. These idiots commenting saying that she doesn't need a nerf, don't mind them, just wait for the patch after the next one where the idiots at riot games will say "we decided to tune her down a little bit as players have gotten used to her "
Flexexos3 votesBtw kindred ultimate counters neeko's ultimate so... In a game neeko vs kindred... Just stop complaining about her
AliasIsJay1 votesBtw kindred ultimate counters neeko's ultimate so... In a game neeko vs kindred... Just stop complaining about her
Kindreds ult counter everything, even kindred's own team...and can kindred be played in 3 different lanes like neeko or only jungle? Neeko can go pretty much anywhere at this point, except adc ofcourse but who knoiws, "Is it meta?". And kindred isnt as easy as neeko either, neeko is all about punishing. But being punished for literally standing under turret trying to farm (literally hugging the turret) with a 300 damage single q pop when she has 75 ap is too much honestly. And honestly speaking, her root is hella broken when it comes to the hitbox. Im looking more into her hitbox and will give updates (if i remember that i even posted anything here :P)
VexLuna1 votesI've played Neeko almost non-stop since her release, and people are getting really used to Neeko. something to remember is league is an evolving game, due to the way the community responds to changes. Neeko on release might seem bonkers, Neeko a month later is just "Neeko things" and people learn to consider what she is capable of, and play around it. (Neeko can only really be played WELL in Mid and Jungle in my opinion, anything other than that is pretty off-meta.) To put it simply, Neeko is a low elo stomp champion, yet not as oppressive in low elo as Master Yi, Garen or Nasus (who quite frankly aren't very good champions at all) She's pretty balanced really. Her E isn't actually as easy to hit as you think, anyone that keeps their distance (like you are supposed to against Neeko) you will find that Neeko struggles a lot to land it, even passing through minions. In fact for a mage, she is very close quarters oriented when it comes to the way she fights. Also, outside the lane she literally has a 0.25 second root... brilliant.
BWL031 votesmaster yi,garen,nasus aren't very good champions? Yi can literally just go in 1v3 and win Garen doesn't die And nasus doesn't die and he can easily get 500+ stacks in 25 minutes(not complaining about hit coz I actually main him)he literally just nukes the entire enemy team.
SafeBombV23 votesI love how people are complaining about Veigar when he actually has to stack his passive to get even decently powerful. Syndra I can understand about her power, but Veigar has to actually land his abilities to get somewhere. Neeko can literally burst you down hard level 3 if you're not prepared.
VexLuna1 votesSo can countless champions in midlane. My boy talon can do it level 2, but people stopped complaining about that after realizing there is a thing called counterplay. :p
manolis2012 votesNot really Neeko isnt a problem at all i enjoy playing vs her i havent lost a single ranked game from Neeko yet so just learn to play vs her and stop complaining in less than 10 days from her release... And Riot plox cancel that nerf on Neeko on PBE until later on thanks.
AR URF2 votesEven though this has has up votes, i have to say. Her ult is like the easiest thing to dodge.
VexLuna2 votesIndeed, she has to burn flash in an attempt to land the R properly at times. or invest in a protobelt (which isn't that great on her anyway, i tend to consider it every 10 games or so, but twin shadows is often better)
VexLuna1 votesYou don't know how balanced she'd is. I've been playing her almost non-stop since her release, and she has major weaknesses people don't realize. several mages outrange her, and there are several melee matchups she is forced to respect. Infact some of those matchups where she wins the lane, if she doesn't get ahead, they crush her at level 6 (e.g diana, akali) On release, she felt a bit nuts, (and riot nerfed her Q, weird choice but that happened) regardless of the nerf, since she has had time to settle in, people know what she does, and it's really hard to get away with things i would have gotten away with on release. I have to really question my item builds carefully due to her lack of mobility, her squishiness (contrasting with how she ends up being played in the center of team fights) and how important her scalings are. On the subject of her 1.3 AP ratio, what's so different about Neeko's R, is she, as a mage puts herself in danger to get it off and all it takes is some hard cc for it to miss, and/or get her killed (and trust me, Neeko just doesn't have time/gold for QSS) In regards to her mobility, she either needs a flash, or a protobelt to reposition for her R. I still only buy protobelt once every 10 games or so because i just can't fit it in, other items end up being higher priority. Her E is harder to hit in lane than you think, even with the increased size and speed through minions. and outside of lane, she essentially has a 0.25 second root, how amazing.... her Q is an average projectile, pretty good. helps her do her thing. Nothing crazy on it's own. infact i'd say that W is lowkey the best part of her kit, the active is great, and the passive allows her to weave in AAs whilst her Q and E are on cooldown. if she didn't have it, she'd lose a hell of a lot of matchups. :)
