How to beat Neeko

Common role: Mid / Support

A shapeshifting trickster whose clone lies and whose ult wins teamfights.

What makes Neeko dangerous

Neeko disguises as ANY unit — minion, ward, ally — ambushing from impossible angles, roots through the first target hit (E empowers through champions), pokes with blooming seeds, and her ultimate leaps with a huge AoE stun-burst after a hidden wind-up in disguise.

How to play against Neeko

• 1Odd minion in the wave? Hit it. Trust nothing that moves strangely.
• 2Her ult winds up under disguise — watch for "minions" walking at your face.
• 3Don't stand behind allies vs her E — it empowers through them.
• 4Spread out in fights: everything she does is AoE.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Squishy and reliant on landing the E root.
• ✓Disguise breaks on damage — poke suspicious units.
• ✓Predictable ult range once you've seen it.
• ✓Falls off if behind — punish the lane.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Neeko's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Encanto innato

  Neeko puede adquirir la apariencia de un campeón aliado o cualquier otra unidad del mapa. Recibir un ataque de control de adversario que te inmovilice, lanzar un hechizo que inflija daño, infligir daño a las torres enemigas como una unidad que no sea un campeón o que el disfraz reciba una cantidad de daño equivalente a su barra de vida hace que este desaparezca.

  Strong: disguises as ANY unit — minions, wards, allies — for ambushes. Weak: damage breaks it — poke anything suspicious.

• Q
  Estallido floreciente

  Neeko lanza una semilla que inflige daño mágico. La semilla vuelve a brotar si alcanza a campeones o si mata a alguna unidad.

  Strong: a triple-pulsing seed that blooms on kills and champions. Weak: small zones — step out between pulses.

• W
  Duplicaformas

  Cada tres ataques, Neeko inflige daño mágico adicional de forma pasiva, lo que aumenta brevemente su velocidad de movimiento. Neeko puede activar la habilidad para enviar a un clon en una dirección y volver a activarla para cambiarla.

  Strong: a clone runs deception routes while she escapes or engages. Weak: clones don't cast — the silent twin is the fake.

• E
  Maraña de púas

  Neeko dispara una maraña que inflige daño y enraíza a todo lo que atraviesa. Si la maraña mata a un enemigo o atraviesa a un campeón, se vuelve más grande, más rápida y enraíza durante más tiempo.

  Strong: a root that EMPOWERS through champions hit — chain CC from range. Weak: don't stand behind allies — the empowered root travels through them.

• R
  Brote sorpresa

  Tras prepararse brevemente, Neeko pega un salto en el aire y lanza por los aires a todos los enemigos cercanos. Al aterrizar, daña y aturde a los enemigos cercanos. La preparación no puede verse si Neeko está disfrazada.

  Strong: a leaping AoE stun-nuke charged in stealth/disguise. Weak: the wind-up is loud once revealed — scatter from any Neeko running at your face.

Itemization

Paranoia wins: tag odd units, spread out, and keep MR. Her whole kit needs the E to land first.
