Hilarious name aside, who actually designed Neeko?
No way it's CertainlyT since she's not overloaded with a ton of mobility.
While I like the champion idea and looking forward to play her, my biggest question is this: Who actually designed her?
Dynikus3 votesSolcrushed designed her. She's his first original champion concept, but he also worked on the reworks for gragas, irelia, poppy, galio, yorick, gangplank, and sejuani.

Irelia?
Okay. Fire him now. He's dead to me. Screw it. Changed my mind. Not gonna play Neeko (yes I will).

I mean, other than Irelia, all of his reworks have been pretty good. And neeko is definitely a lot of fun.
Witch of Babylon1 votesSejuani was good?

Yeah yeah I know. No designer is perfect. At least he's not CT with his bs design philosophy (I think). Is he even in the center of controversy like CT or not really?

Not really, no. And if you look at the feedback on Neeko, no one's really complaining about her kit. The only complaints I've heard and agree with are that her numbers are a bit too high right now. She's not overloaded with a million knockups, dashes, passives, and stuns to the point where it will be difficult to balance her.

While her numbers need some tweaking, she seems like a well designed champion. But with the Irelia rework, I'm neutral on whether or not Soulcrushed is a good designer.
I guess it's safe to say, he doesn't have much bad of a reputation as CT or a huge controversy.
I mean, sometime less is more. Neeko's passive mechanic is simple to use but not simple in game. THAT'S good design. Not a million dashes and true invisibility shroud and other bs.

SolCrushed has done:
and now Neeko.
Of those designs, I would only consider Sejuani a failure. The rest have been incredibly fun, and major improvements over their previous iterations (except Gragas, I didn't play him so I don't know how he compares). Yes, even Irelia. Irelia at the moment is overtuned, but I don't think mechanically she's got anything particularly unhealthy to the game in her kit. Once you fiddle with her numbers and ratios, she'll be fine. He's not controversial at all, and doesn't have a bad reputation that I know of. I don't think one failure and an overtuned champion constitutes as being "bad" as a designer.

While that's enough for the dude to not be added on my list of "controversial" designers with CT (actually he's the only one on my list), i hope you're right about Irelia. Right now, i think she needs a re-rework. She's like overloaded. The memory of dropping from silver 1 to silver 3 was solely due to Irelia mid (before you ask, banning her was not an option cuz i would get Zed),
