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 Inerente

  Neeko pode imitar um Campeão aliado ou outras unidades no mapa. O disfarce será quebrado ao sofrer efeitos de Controle de Grupo imobilizantes, conjurar habilidades de dano, causar dano a torres inimigas como um não Campeão ou sofrer dano equivalente à barra de Vida do disfarce.

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

• Q
  Explosão Florescente

  Neeko arremessa uma semente, causando Dano Mágico. A semente floresce novamente ao atingir Campeões ou abater unidades.

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

• W
  Metamorfa

  Neeko causa Dano Mágico adicional passivamente a cada terceiro ataque, aumentando brevemente sua Velocidade de Movimento. Neeko pode ativar a habilidade para enviar um clone em uma direção e reconjurar para mudar a direção do clone.

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

• E
  Farpas Emaranhadas

  Neeko arremessa um emaranhado que causa dano e enraíza tudo o que atravessa. Se o emaranhado abater um inimigo ou atravessar um Campeão, ele aumentará de tamanho, terá mais velocidade e enraizará por mais tempo.

  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
  Florescer Repentino

  Após uma curta preparação, Neeko salta, arremessando ao ar todos os inimigos próximos. Ao aterrissar, inimigos próximos sofrem dano e atordoamento. A preparação fica oculta se Neeko estiver disfarçada.

  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.
