Why TF hasn't Neeko been hotfixed yet?

Yautja wannabe··2 votes·1,356 views

Need I really say it? Neeko, is (unsurprisingly busted). Like, holy shit. Her damage? Insane. Her ultimate? GAME. FUCKING. BREAKING. It does way too much damage, gives her a fat ass shield, has no cast time while she's disguised, she can move while casting it, and it stuns. That's right, it stuns. It doesn't root, it stuns. As if this game wasn't broken enough as is. Seriously Riot, I and so many others are getting sick of this shit. Fix the god damn game, use your heads, and stop introducing broken ass shit. It's cancerous. There is so much wrong with this game, and instead of fixing it all you guys can do is introduce more skins and champs that are also broken. It's RIDICULOUS. So many of my friends quit this game, and I honestly can't blame them. It's unbalanced and frustrating as fuck. Toxic player base? Okay, that can't be fixed because people are assholes by nature, but surely you can balance the game at some point, right?

because she's not broken...

When she casts W, one Neeko is faster than the other. I forgot which, but it’s a tell.

Her passive retains her stats, not the stats of the ally she’s imitating.

Don’t get caught by her E + Q combo and don’t let her walk at you to get her ult off, and she’s a piece of cake to deal with.

Also, just a little bit of magic resist - as in a single item 1033 - shuts out her E+Q combo somewhat, because she relies on magic pen to deal a lot of her early/mid damage.

Neeko isn't even half as broken as Zoe was at launch.

Neeko isn't half as broken as Zoe is right now! x'D

Bot for real:

Neeko is fine - low range - slow projectiles, no mobility, super squishy. All of her power is in her Ult, just like Amumu or Fiddle - know that, prepare for that => easy win.

Look at my last game's build to get some ideas around that. It WORKS.

Look at the game that beat a neeko and I can tell you she isn't very good...

Very easy to play around that champ.

Honestly, the only issue Neeko has is the 130% scaling her ult has. Other than that, she's surprisingly rather balanced for just being released.

Except if she manages to kill something with that ult, she deserves it. It's easy to avoid, and gives ample chances in most cases to kill her. It even roots her before it goes off.

Also, it's not like other champs have MUCH higher AP scaling ults....

Even Morgana's ult is 80% X 2.

Evelynn's is up to 160%.

etc etc.

Evelynn's is an execute ult, all execute ults have huge scalings. Neeko's ult is like Amumu's, it's not an execute. Morgana is a mid lane MAGE, it makes sense her ult has high scaling like all other mid lane mages even if me and others don't agree with it doing the same amount of damage both procs.

Neeko's ult, being like Amumu's, makes no sense having a 130% on it. Amumu, who already has really dumb ap scaling, actually only has a 80% scaling on his ult. What's the point giving her a big ult like Amumu's but making it almost guaranteed to kill certain champs at half health when it's not an execute?

But what if she lands her snare? Sometimes, you just can't dodge stuff. Like things coming out of bushes, more so when you're going to ward it. If she snares you, well it's a little unfair she can then just press r and get a free kill on me for trying to ward.

Or if I'm low, and she comes running at me as a fed enemy, I'm not likely to try and fight. Most people aren't. Most are likely to run to try and get away or to get to help such as the jungler or a laner. If I can't do anything to get her out of being transformed, by the time it drops her look I probably can't get out.

Her ult makes for a lot of different ways to proc it, especially when you can't see the first part if she's transformed. And that's where having a 130% scaling is a little too much.

  1. Evelynn's Ult might be an "execute" but it's actually not... It just deals double damage to targets under 30%. It's still flat damage, reduced by resist. The 30% is its condition, whereas Neeko's is surviving the ult duration.

  2. Amumu's Ult is INSTANT. He also has a sure fire Pull to his target on a reasonable small cooldown.... They aren't even comparable in reliability.

  3. I guarantee if she's close enough to snare you, and follow up with an ult..... her root duration is tiny. Her Root scales with how many targets it has went through. To ult..... she'd have to be in your face...

You're comparing apples to oranges, and don't even know it....
