Tips Against Neeko in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
WayOfTheTempesst says “Thought this matchup was going to be a lot easier than it was but if she lands one snare on you, say goodbye to 60% of your hp. Another reason she is very annoying is any time you go for a knockup on her she just goes stealth and you can't ult her or she just ults and if you ult you take massive damage and get stunned. Best way to deal with her is to just push on her and look for roams since her wave clear isn't the best compared to most mages. Windwall her snare and dash away from her while she is ulting. Lastly, she has a 3 auto passive on her W so try to not be in range of her early to not get poked down by her.”
Katawina52 says “Really really really annoying poke early and it's hard to go in if she holds on her root. Go dshield here and maybe even second wind to deal with her obnoxious poke. Once you have bork/harvest or more you should be 100000x more useful in fights unless she gets an insane ult with follow up, so try to survive the annoying poking early then scale in fights. Another great champ to buy Mercs into if more cc is in the game.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Kinda an annoying matchup esp since not many people play this champ. Take fleet 2nd wind with unflinching to get through the annoying early game. Always E back when she is channeling uly and make Sure you never E at her and leave your E in flash range of her or she can follow up and kill you like that. Try to bait her E out just like Ahri E by running to the side with your E.”
Fuzzmonkey says “Neeko is a pretty easy match up since avoiding her E just leaves her completely vulnerable. Even after level 6, baiting her ult is pretty simple since you can W back to avoid the damage + CC. Constantly poke her at all levels and she will not be able to respond to your damage if she can't hit her enhanced E.”
Katasandra says “[1] Dodge E. She'll try to throw it through minions.
[2] Dodge Q, if it hits initially move out of the AoE zone.
[3] If she tries to ult, E away. If you're rooted/can't get out: self R.”
eiensiei says “I outrange her with E, but won't go for passive procs, as it looks obvious and it makes it easy for her to hit E-Q. When she's casting her R, she's standing still so hitting a Q-E-R combo on her is free. If she's a good Neeko and finds good flanks, I'll buy a Zhonya's for her R - it's telegraphed and good reactions aren't even necessary to use the active properly.”
Drewmatth Taliyah says “Doran + 2 pots or Corrupting if you feel you are going to get poked down. If you are against AD assume more consistent damage over time, if you are against AP assume that burst is going to hit you so choose the itemisation accordingly. Try not to get fooled often by her passive because it's quite easy to spot (and obvious in some cases) and stay away from her ult. Dodge her CC spell and you should be good to go because she's rather slow/clunky at times. Outroam her or try to kill her, both options are good. Pick Ignite with Minion Demat and whatever else you feel that it would work.”
PlayCabex says “Very easy to win against her , you can heal her poke back , you can dodge her ult with your sanguine pool , you can oneshot her very easily”
Ambitieux says “Neeko is just Ahri with less mobility. Watch for her root and lane and you should naturally be able to out damage her. Should try to wait to fight after 6, were you can setup easy ganks with jungler. But after 6 you completely out move her and this lets you have room for big outplays. Her poke can be kind of nasty though so do watch for that”
LunarVortex says “Her poke is annoying in the first few levels, but after that, you win hard. Her kit is super straight forward. Spellshield her E. If you don't react in time or don't have it ready, simply wait for her to ult and then spellshield that. Whenever she ults is also a good opportunity for you to land your Q since she has to stay still for a moment.”
Hullos says “The same deal as all immobile mages, dodge the cc, punish, though her invisibility can be annoying, it is often not good enough to dodge all your damage. just be careful for her all in. ”
Avucado says “Start E and look for trades. She has low range but good burst, stay to the side of your minions so her E doesn't stun for longer. Post 6 do not E through because she will R and get a huge shield on top of the long stun. Walk up and Q->HoB autos if you can post 6 and bait the R then E out. She has a very low ult cd so assume it's always up every time you first see her. Go mercs and even hexdrinker if they get fed.”
Curt Mcbeltpants says “Neeko is an easy matchup you can survive her poke with mercs first back and follow up on her roams, your teamfight is better than hers.”
richardlized says “Neeko is similar to the lux matchup as in all you need to do is to dodge her CC, which is her E. lvl 6 is same as diana time your ult after hers to dodge it. She has more pressure early levels and be sure to not get hit by her empowered AA, which does good damage. After level 6 you can either ult her ult, or do a RWR hidden shadow to dodge her ult. Might need to flash her E, so don’t ult her if she has E up.
”
Fuzzmonkey says “Mainly a skill match up, don't let her hit her enhanced root on you and try your best to not get caught in her ult, otherwise you'll need to force a summoner to not die.”
Coldsong says “Neeko is a very hard and tedious matchup for Talon. Make sure to dodge her E if possible, and remember that it travels even farther through minions. Try to stand adjacent to the wave and throw out your W to hit her and the wave, so that she cannot land a free root and you poke her. When you see Neeko casting her R, E away if possible. Hexdrinker recommended!”
TheMockingSnowman says “Buy Mercury's Tread early and/or use Unflinching and Second Wind rune. You don't really have much kill pressure on her. All you can do is shove the waves and roam. You don't want to be near your minions either. ”
pavelp420 says “Just avoid E and R. As long as you do that, she is very easy to kill. The passive only shows on her real self after she clones, so use that to your advantage.”
Wunsch3957 says “Yasuo favored skill matchup. Wind wall her E and try to E onto her during trades so that if she uses her W you can know which one is the real one. Take cleanse and Conq+Domination.”
duhnx says “High poke and an annoying ult. Let her waste her Q and E before going in for an easy kill. Just don't pull her into your team when she ults please....imnotalkingfromexperiencetrustme”
Black Shadow QIYANA says “just roam bot get a little ahead before fighting a neeko she will burst you down has inviz clone has shield has root and very high damage you will just do no damage because of her HP yea you can kill her 1v1 lvl 3 only if you are beifang chineese super server xD”
Lot of Wind here says “You can't stand behind your wave because she will stun you with her E. You can block most of her damage but her third auto is not blocked by your wall.”
AkiraHopeXDDDD says “She can easily hold her Stun and if you ever try to Range Q her she'll stun you and then you kinda get poked hard. her R can merely prevent you from one shotting her full combo.”
Wunsch3957 says “Skill matchup. Stand outside your wave so her E lasts a shorter amount of time. All in her when she misses E and try not to get poked down. Flash/cleanse with either rune page.”
7daysko says “Deals a lot of damage, but is pretty easy to deal with, especially in the early game. Just watch out for her shapeshifting. The more creative she gets with it and the more her teammates are in on it, the harder it's going to be for you to deal with her, so make sure you always approach skirmishes carefully unless everyone is visible on the map.”
Twitch.Tv-LimitBreaker88 says “You outrange her, outppush her and outscale her. Furthermore you can R her R, so that's a blower for her. Keep in mind her root (E) and she is just a gimmicky champion, you have to deal with for free LP.”
ReapeRGP says “Honestly Neeko is only annoying with her E. She can be poked really easily and you can just cage her when she is gonna use R. She is squishy so poke and try to kill her, if needed call your jungler.”
GeDBo says “Think of this matchup as "Neeko is the overpowered version of Ahri." She needs her E+Q+R/AA combo to proc electrocute, or if she has Arcane comet she only needs to hit you with her E to land Arcane comet successfully. Not only Neeko is burst mage, she also has stealth in her kit (W) which pretty much feels like you are playing against an Assassin. Now let's talk about her annoying passive. Her passive allows her to transform into one of her allies, allowing her to trick you into thinking "oh I can definitely kills this guy" and once you jump in surprise! You just got baited and are likely dead now. Another scary thing about her is that she doesn't need her abilities to farm. Her every third basic attack is instant and it will allow her to farm easily, meaning she can save her abilities to poke you, which is a big threat to Azir. Force her to use her abilities on the creeps, by shoving the waves under her tower. Your best bet would be to rush Mercury's Treads. Banshee's Veil is recommended early on since it will help you escape from her E. Try to out-poke and out-farm her. She is useless compared to you in late game since she depends on her ultimate. Azir doesn't need his ultimate to carry out a team fight. Ward and ask jungler for help if necessary. Arcane comet would be the only useful rune page in this match up. Neeko's main weaknesses are that she lacks in mobility and she is really squishy. ”
nZk01 says “(Mid) very annoying after 6 but before shes really easy to kill, just dodge her E and try to run way from her ult, would recommend ignite or Cleanse.”
Edg3Lord says “Can escape you, but you can easily block her E. Be wary of her damage on Q though, since you can easily be caught in up when you want to get extra health off your passive inside her wave.”
Mpegial says “Neeko is... a really good damage dealer and a pain to fight, but she isn't too bad to deal with as long as you avoid most of the hits, *especially her CC”
Coldsong says “Just like Lux, Neeko is dependant on landing her root in order to easily land her Q. Dodge it and stun her if she is walking close to you. If you see she is channeling R, make sure to dodge it as it hits like a truck even with MR.”
SoraSan says “Neeko é uma maga de controle com bastante controle de grupo e dano em área.
Use seus soldados para pokear bastante ela na fase de rotas e evite ficar atrás dos seus minions, já que ela pode te enraizar com o seu E e virar dano com as 3 instancias do Q dela. Caso ela vá te ultar, responda ultando ela na direção da sua torre.
Cometa Arcano é a runa recomendada nessa matchup.”
nZk01 says “(Mid) very annoying after 6 but before shes really easy to kill, just dodge her E and try to run way from her ult, would recommend ignite or Cleanse.”
Sanctuar says “Similar to Zoe, Neeko's entire combo relies on hitting her E for the root, especially empowered after travelling through minions which lasts for 3 seconds if hit. Her ultimate has a lot of damage combined with a shield, but has a small window where a dodge is possible. Keep your E ready to dodge her ultimate and then turn around for a potential kill.”
Gtoxer says “Runa recomendavel: eletreocutar.
feitiço de invocador: purifcar ou curar
1) se ela usa o stun dela errado, aproveite para ir para cimar ou chamar seu ungler
2)quando ela estive preste a ulta ulte unto.
3)deixe ela puxa a wave, e espere ela fica sem mana.”
Shazzaam says “Really annoying champion. Watch out for her E since if she hits you it roots you for up to 3 seconds if she hit something before hitting you.”
Tamatamo says “This matchup depends on the neeko's skill. If she is great and hits every stun; it'll be very hard. If you're stunned try to play safe from that point on. Try to get vamp (shieldbow, Bloodthirster) as soon as possible to regen due to he ability to stun you hard. Otherwise she isn't too hard. Her Ult can be flayed. Her q poke is easy to dodge but hurts a lot if you're stunned by her e. Try to get vison on both sides of the river due to her w.”
Cornifa says “Just outtrade her, get in and get out, if you go in she might catch you with her root so try to play around her cooldowns and ult her ult.”
Do1HaveTh3Sauce says “Neeko is hard to lane against for a few reasons. Her W can be frustrating when using you E, her Q does massive damage if you let it proc multiple time (don't forget about Electrocute), her E is a root which can deal a lot of damage as well, and her R is a massive AoE Ult.”
Johan Paracelso says “The lesbian lizard can chunk you down early with her Q, and, if you are within your wave, she can E Q Auto Auto and chunk down more than 50% of your HP. The only way to beat her is to stay out of range and out of the wave. If she waste her abilities, she wastes mana, so go in after she doesn't have mana (her clone doesn't cost mana, so, watch out for this)”
Hiimkata says “Really really really annoying poke early and it's hard to go in if she holds on her root. Go dshield here and maybe even second wind to deal with her obnoxious poke. Once you have bork/harvest or more you should be 100000x more useful in fights unless she gets an insane ult with follow up, so try to survive the annoying poking early then scale in fights. Another great champ to buy Mercs into if more cc is in the game.”
ShadowSlayerMain says “Malmortius is optional, avoid her E so you can't take enough damage from her Q, try not to get tricked by her W so you can R the correct, the best option against her R is yours”
Poppi Sama says “Long range stun, yet immobile. Use that to your advantage once her stun is down. When she looks to ult, avoid her stun using Spirit Rush to Ult out and Ult back in to full combo her.”
mrsuits says “Same principle with ahri. Stay away from your minions so she cant use her root efficiently. If you get rooter immidietly place a soldier max range on her so if she tries to throw her spell you poke her too. if she uses her blooming press E away. If she uses her R throw her to your tower. ”
ParkChnm says “Her root is pretty strong, if she hits it you'll lose about 1/2-3/4 of your HP. Dodge it and you win. Also your passive procs off of her W clone.”
ParkChnm says “As long as you avoid her E, you should win lane pretty easily. Late game is also really easy to play against her. Really just avoid her E and you're fine as long as you don't get tricked somehow.”
XanBad says “It is kinda hard going against this champ but it is kinda like heimer, heavy poke and cc and getting hit by a full combo is just depressing.”
wildersovereign says “You shouldn't have any problems against this champion in 99% of games. Her CC is pretty telegraphed, allowing for easy shielding. Even if you don't react to her E in time, her R is extremely easy to shield (even if she's disguised, being honest) and it leaves her extremely vulnerable to all-in. Don't waste your bind on her clone and you'll be fine. There are a few players that are experimenting with a Kraken Slayer on-hit build, which is more difficult for Morgana to handle, albeit not by much. Nothing about Neeko's defensive qualities change, but her offense changes drastically. Think of this as a Vayne or another on-hit marksman rather than a CC-heavy mage. She's still very easy to kill, but her W-empowered auto-attacks can whittle you down if you underestimate her damage.”
rajsovsky says “I've played against it some times. She's annoying. You need wraiths, and don't fight her. Try to farm and get rocketbelt. Maybe after that you can start doing anything to her,”
invalidd says “Short cd mage that can really get on your nerves but can't kill you, her E doesn't stop your hook channel and you beat her in trades with your
full combo, don't commit too hard because her enhanced auto attacks can be pretty deadly, if she uses W after she gets hooked remember that she goes
invisible for a second unlike shaco who gains immunity on his ultimate for a second and comes back as two, you cannot cancel her
ultimate SO PLEASE DO NOT HOOK HER INTO THE TEAM IF SHE'S ULTING. Complicated to setup ganks on.”
Sylvan Lore says “Neeko is a strong burst mage with good lockdown and lots of damage. Her range is similar to that of Orianna if not a bit smaller. You really want to avoid being hit by her E after it travels through minions as you will lose any trade where this happens. You should be able to trade evenly pre-6 outscale her into the lategame. Just don't fall for any tricky plays that let her land her ult on you. Keep in mind in laning phase that her Q will re-pop for extra damage if it kills a minion or hits a champion. Don't make the mistake of taking extra damage from it.
Recommend Barrier and Dmg Build or VS Ap Assasin if behind.”
RedNBlue says “Neeko pre level 6 is a ridiculously easy kill but once she has ult you got to play it safer until she busts it because its animation is a bit tricky and it lasts a while making it pretty hard to know when exactly its going to stun you unless you have played Neeko a good portion.”
TheHostileCat says “Literally e-q-auto.
Neeko has incredible early game pressure - in laning phase. Her root + q combo (especially if you're standing near minions) can kill you if she weaves in some autos early on. It's still hard to fight her past lv 6, even if you call in jg help. If she ults - e out or flash out, then go back in. ”
KASSAW1N says “
Kass vs neeko: Es un match muy desesperante, pero lo mejor que puedes hacer es esperar tu lvl 6 por que ella tiene mas movilidad que tu y en ese momento tienes que esperar para esquivarle su cc y luego entrar con todo, sales de su ulti con el flash o tu R y luego entras de nuevo con ella. (compra hielo eterno)”
Tortoise_Maniac says “- Match her push and try to get her under tower
- Don't stand in minion wave or she can poke and push
- Relatively easy to gank
- Play for jungle
- Outroam her with ult and teleport”
BCota says “Annoying early try to pool her root and if she roots you lvl 6 just stay rooted and try to pool her ult but duel her. If she ults you ult her before you pool and all in after she drops down make sure to ignite so you can tell her from her clone
”
Chili Dog says “Early game is legit torture, go tp and try outsustain with codex rush, she's pretty squishy if she doesn't get to use her ult shield. Phase Rush recommended.”
JustGalaxy06 says “Now this is what i call a threat . Her e is just so powerfull if you're gonna dodge her e-s and q-s you can kill her . don't target her clone and ez win . Call your jungle to help if needed , in late you're gonna destroy her.”
Noodles912 says “Same with LeBlanc's clone, use a corrupting potion before a trade to see the real neeko with a purple flame. Use E, Zhonya's, or stopwatch for her ult. Roam when you can. If you're not confident, option 2 is to chicken farm till level 6, then make some plays. Mercs can work.”
Niqkl says “Dont get fooled by the clone! Generally, she is pretty easy, as you can heal it back if she roots and Qs you since she has no other way to extend a fight except for ult.”
vCraze says “Neeko is a fairly easy matchup to deal with. She does not have too much pushing power early and you are able to outrange her with ease. Poke her when you have comet and manaflow up otherwise just make sure you're farming and once you hit Ludens punish her.”
WolfRider01 says “Fairly even matchup. She can easily stomp you, but you can easily stomp her. Dodge her E root, and avoid stepping in her Q. Once her abilities are on cooldown you should be okay to run her down a bit. Don't fight if you're low and she's lvl 6, she can easily kill with R into E into Q.”
Hqzz says “Be careful of Neeko's roots as they are similar to your range. Don't hide behind minions and don't engage unless she misses her root. Her Q does repetitive damage, yours doesn't. ”
MagicalFartz1 says “Elector with ignite. You both are similar champions. All in her when she misses her E. She can Block your Q with her w. She has really good gank setup so don't spam push. After 6 u can doge her ult with ur own ult. You win after u get ur first item if you went even. ”
MartyBG says “Lux outranges Neeko so it makes your time a little bit better vs her, try to poke her and not get hit by her abilities and it's a very easy matchup.”
Akali go skrrrt says “Just like with most ranged match up you cant really do much pre lvl 3/6. Dont get harassed to much for a few minions. Be carefull when going all in lvl 6 as she can just press R to stun you.”
Bobbab says “Easy to dodge spells and immobile. Her ult can be tricky to fight, but dodge the e and you have a free engage pre 6. Post 6 just go in and out untill she has to ult.”
sweodigaming says “You trade pretty even, but you definitely have the advantage. You have better burst and trade. Make sure you dodge her root and you will be fine. ”
SnakeTastic says “Her q deals alot of damage and her cc can bully you out of the lane play safe against her and dont let your self be fooled by her clones just stay behind Minions and spam e”
JoshAy says “She will look to root you when you are behind minions (it lasts longer). Don't get rooted. Her Q does a lot of damage early if it gets all 3 procs so don't stand still. Her W makes her autos deadly so respect the range and farm safe. Her W makes your E2 irrelevant if you hit a clone, if it is running in a straight line its probably a clone. She has one of the BEST ULTS to steal, big AoE stun with lots of damage and scaling. Remember you can cast her R and then use E1/E2/Flash/Protobelt/Blast Cone for a short while to reposition yourself. You outscale her if she doesn't snowball. STEAL HER ULT FOR TEAMFIGHTS. ”
Magical Rock says “Neeko is one of the most annoying champions because of her E. It can go through 3 things, and has a hitbox that is larger than the Moon.”
Haywyre says “Doran's Shield is a great way to deal with her poke. Resolve: Second Wind + Overgrowth/Unflinching. Wait for Gunblade and you can nuke her.”
Frixen says “Neeko can be attacked through her mana pool, however she can also poke you out. It's a very skill based matchup, that heavily relies on you getting out of the lane and making plays on the side lanes / splitpushing. ”
BloooodTV says “D-Blade. Don't think of it as a Lux matchup, her stun goes through minions and lasts longer the more it goes through. Just make sure you W or dodge it. I don't recommend going for roams into her as she will destroy your turret with her W passive. Outscales you. Take Fleet or Conq (Depends on team comp).”
OverjarlZane says “Skill matchup. You DECIMATE her early on and generally out scale her but she can turn things around really hard if she's a good player.”
Yuki H. says “Her kit allows her to stall some much needed time during your combos early game, her w makes her invisible for half a second, which can screw you over if you unload your combo on her clone. Also, her root lasts a very long time if you're hit last, so make sure to dodge it. Her main damaging ability aside from her ult is her Q, which like Syndra's Q is fairly spammable in lane.”
bobatea says “In the end you can win this match up its just early game phase that she bullies you. Try your best to dodge the q and w , but the good thing is if you dodge both you can instantly punish her once she has no abilities.
”
Veralion says “MANY BEADS. Overtuned garbage champion, at least against melees. Her root is quick, travels through creeps, has a long range, and guarantees two ticks of her Q plus probably her on-hit proc. Extremely abusive. You’ll get chunked to half or below every time it lands. Even if it doesn’t, single ticks of Q plus her W damage will chip you down quick. Fleet does not help much since you'll be getting hard zoned under turret by her E. NEVER let her land ult. You’ll die. Ult or flash away. If you’re healthy, going for an all in over her root or to negate her ult’s stun will give you an opening. She’ll squish if you manage to get onto her on even footing, but you'll probably be down too much experience and farm to even consider it. Highly suggest dodging. ”
Zoe Sparklepop says “Low Even
You have better burst
Dodge the root and win the trade but even if you don't dodge it, E can tank it pretty nicely.
Make sure to stun her with Q if her W is up so that you can tell which is which instead of stunning both with R/W”
snukumz says “Don't get rooted and you'll tentacle slap her all day.
If you land a knock up on her post-6 you should have enough damage to kill her every time.
By the time her ult can knock you up you can usually kill her. ”
1256 says “ap
annoying because of her early poke and ccs, matchup gets easier later on, careful about allins because needless to say her ult is powerful, you outscale her
fleet+dom, electro if confident”
LightningTemplar says “Unlike other skillshot champs, Neeko wants minions to block the shot because it increases the root duration. Try to angle yourself so that there are no minions between you, causing her root to be extremely short. And if you do get hit with the root, she will most likely just Q you. Should you choose to go in at that point you should win the trade as she has blown all of her cooldowns. You can use R to dodge her R stun. ”
SicKitty says “not scarry to fight, just build manna more as she will bate out alot of attacks. most like not gonna kill you unless you run out of manna to keep her at bay for jng to come and snatch up.”
manipulativexd says “You might outscale her after lvl 11. Until that, you can't do anything against her. Don't die. After 11, you can sidestep her Es after jumping on her and you can also R out of her ult.”
Debonair Karma says “This is 100% a skill matchup. A good Neeko will absolutely destroy you, but a bad one is a free win. I suggest taking barrier for her huge ult burst.”
Gageowago says “Unlike nearly every champion in the game, you do NOT want to stand behind minions against neeko. Her E Q empowered auto combo on you matches or outdoes your own E Q W combo so try to avoid being rooted. If you engage on her and she uses her W, she is always the slower Neeko (and also the clone can only turn when hitting a wall). At level 6 she can one shot combo you if she lands her root so avoid it at all costs. ”
topal says “ Hard muchup.She can dodge your all in with her w and her root makes her pretty safe.Try to punish her if she uses it and look to roam or freeze and kill her with your jungler. ”
Lil Tidepod says “If she misses her stun you're really gonna want to go in on her. She has no serious damage after that stun is missed, because she can't proc more than one Q without it unless you're standing still for some reason. Just abuse her and push the wave under the turret. She'll miss a lot of farm.”
JacWilly says “Can time her ult to perma stun with her e, has great wave clear and w can make it hard for you to ult her, poke her out and all in , if shes playing too safe, roam and miss minimal cs.”
Capparelli says “Her root is what makes her strong, her R is easy to dodge with some competence but her root is fast and long, play around her spells in lane dive in with your root, if she uses W the one that's slowed is her, get Hexdrinker when falling behind”
BigBushMan says “Neeko is a pain in lane and has kill potential, but as long as you are able to avoid her Q you should be fine, just be weary whenever she uses W and be ready for her to engage if she does. ”
serruh says “can be a bit annoying if she sneaks a couple Es in lane and lands good dmg on you, but ryze can just dodge most of her stuff later on and outscale her. also phase rush is extremely useful vs glacial, which is what most neekos run.”
RockitoAhri says “Keep your distance when fighting if she catches you in her ult you die. Careful of annoying poke, keep your distance when you have your trading abilities on cooldown. Fake attempts to take cs so she throws out her ability which lets you take prio and cs freely. ”
Sloyr says “All of the mages are really easy to counter, you just have to dodge their CCs with your E or wait for them to waste it, to then go all in.”
Yas Yasu Yasuo says “She can make a clone just like LB so don't ult her clone. She does a lot of damage and her ult can be defensive to her which counters you, don't get hit by her abilities too much.”
8wolf says “Insane burst damage, but she has low range and she's not very mobile. Poke her from a distance and stay as far away as you can. One e post 6 might mean you're dead.”
MrRiots says “Starting Item: Dark seal + Potion
Not a big threat, she has 0 hp.
Her stun wont last long, she has no HP, If she attacks you, counter everytime. Shell die within milliseconds.”
Je Suis Azir says “she is a dumpster fire. you have better scaling, better early, better team fighting, better push, better range. Your ult makes her ult useless. Fucking GG, fuck Neeko to death until you see the inevitable Victory screen.”
CupOLatte says “Neeko is a pretty hard one since her E can be pretty hard to avoid. Make sure you hit the right neeko with your Q and dodge your ult with yours by ulting outside of her zone. Be careful whenever she transform as she is probably about to ult since it hides her ult. Just send her an AA and you'll be fine.”
ShockStrikes says “AP or AD, tough match up. Watch out for her CC and Blooming Burst. If going AD try and harass Neeko with your Twilight Shroud. Go for cleanse if you wish.”
DravensBukkake says “Ignite Matchup. Cleanse if they got cc jungler/cc team.
Pretty annoying matchup, its the stonewall of midlane. You beat her with smaller consistant poke, but she beats you in extended trades (aka land one fucking root and she Q's and half your HP is gone).
Easy shuffle ganks.”
MarkeleleYasuo says “dont let her hit e on you, use the E Q W combo, when she uses r you either kill her ASAP or you dash away and then you can dash back in”
LOLVan says “Difficult [lvl 1-6]: she has poke and cc... idk I personally hate the matchup!

If you make it to [lvl 2] while maintaining (5-Passive Stacks) force an all-in. The faster you can all-in after hitting [lvl 2] the better. Set your wave up so you can (*Q*) to a minion while using (E) to catch your laner off-gaurd.
*Side-Tip*: Practice using (*Q*)
and upgrading your (E) ability
upon landing from (Q)-dash.
Then immediately casting (E) on
your target in "One-Fluid-
Motion". (*Q*) + level-up ability
Immediately (Q) to target, and proceed to (AA) until target exits (AA)-range and/or you can execute...
*Summoner Execute*
= (Q) + |[1x]-(AA)|
"ONLY" use your Second-(Q) ...|(Q)-[2nd]|... when execute conditions apply. Don't be impatient with |(Q)-[2nd]|, holding out for 1 more (AA) always does more Total Dmg. But use
[AKA]: Use your Second-(Q) when the targets health is low enough to satisfy...
[Execution] <= |[1x]-(Q)| + |[1x]-(AA)|
---------------------------------------------------
[LEVEL 3-5]: Repeat this process.
1.) Set up the wave for quick
trades with (*Q*)-IN
2.) Look to get [2]-"AutoAttacks"...
|[2x]-(AA)|...on your laner. If
you can drop solid (E), go for
the "All-In".
3.) Always use your (Q) as an
*Auto-Reset*. The faster your
(AS), the faster your combo
will be... |[1x]-(AA) + (Q)|.

Braddik says “a good neeko will be really annoying to fight, after level 6 shes squishy as fuck just R onto her and kill her. if shes walking up too far and misses her root just walk up and trade with her as you'll win the trade. otherwise can be rough lane early on.”
Cloud375 says “She isn't all that much. Playing against Neeko is like playing against a Lux - As long as you can dodge the root, you will be fine early game. At the later stages of the game, if she lands the root, immediately using your ultimate should save you if you do it fast enough. Basically, this is a Lux that has a little more damage and a stun.”
Tayna says “She can block your ult with her copy, she has the root all the time, her ult also has cc, god it's such an annoying match-up jeez. Ask for ganks and stay far away”
Garybaldo says “She relies on playing into immobile melee champions to maximize her efectiveness top, so you should have a fairly easy lane. Besides that, when she hits you with her E try and land a combo, and when you land a combo try to dodge hers”
Novok says “Medium difficulty. you can remove her ult when shes channelling so you can beat her in the shadow realm much easier and she will not have anywhere to escape to with her W.”
Tchouvline says “God bless your soul, here comes Neeko ! If she knows how Fiddle works, you're done, her CC will bully you all the game, and if she brains you it's even worse !”
Euphoric Toaster says “Used to be an easier matchup until they buffed her a few patches back, which now has made her quite dangerous to play against. Shes able to empower her root off your turrets and stun you for 1.8 - 3.0 seconds which is an insanely long CC so you have to be VERY careful with your positioning against her. She also pretty easily clears your turrets with her abilities. If she ever tries to Ult you, you can combo her with RQ and disengage, trade, or just kill her instead outright, especially if you've kept healthy and have Barrier. She CAN have as big of a teamfight impact as you but you can at least do that from a safer distance at least. ”
Castel Ahri says “Just don't let her hit you with her 3rd. Dodge her ult with your ult. Ignite her when your'e sure whether your'e targeting a clone or a real neeko. After using all your abilities, do not fight her on extended fasion.”
hoppyscotch says “Neeko is quit easy to beat if you use your dashes to dodge her ablilites, if you do so you should out trade her and get lane prio. Beware of her ult.”
Zeyan says “Impossible to lane against, honestly her worst matchup tied with Yasuo, Hard to engage one due to her clone and her root completely fucks your engage. If you ult with her ult up you will die. Try to bait her ult out before even trying to do anything”
EvilOranges says “D-Blade. Lux, but very slightly harder. Use your E or Ignite on her to show which one is the real clone. Always windwall her E, and don't stand in the wave. Take FF or Conqueror.”
Vispectra says “I'll put her as tiny , if she's the AP Neeko , if it's the AD one then it becomes a rather major threat. Her long CC can be avoided but if it lands but sure to Q a minion or her to block her damage. Her R will almost never land on you as you can just R away or Q and block a quarter of it's damage. You can kill her early if she's being a little too Aggro with a well timed R + Flash 400 or 800 R and a full rotation of your abilities, if you have the mana.”
MamaDuck says “Neeko is quite hard to counter. Her CC is very hard to fight but you can kill her. With good enough timing and with a good enough combo you could easily kill her.
Remember to always go in on her when all of her abilites are on cooldown. Her CC will easily shut you down. ”
unownreality says “This is a skill matchup leaning slightly in favor of Lux. Neeko does not do nearly as much damage as lux, and her lack of mobility makes it hard to land ultimates. That being said, Cloak is still insanely strong, and may cause a few mistakes with summoner spells. ”
maplecat21 says “Similar matchup to Annie. Doesn't do anything to you solo, but has strong gank setup, and is almost able to kill you solo, so a gank is your death if she lands root.”
Altis says “Neeko does a lot of damage, if you let her. You have more range that her and as long as you don't get caught by her E, you will win. All you have to do is stall until she tries something. You're a better burster than her later, but not early.”
RagexAddict says “Neeko can be a tricky champion for you to deal with seeing as her binding is pretty fast traveling. Her binding can set you up for pretty good damage with her Q and damage from her auto attacks. The real threat is her ultimate, which can stun you and give her a decent sized shield to protect her from your burst. Avoid getting hit by her bindings and ultimates at all costs.”
Flipps says “Try to dodge her Q as much as possible in laning phase, try not to let her dominate the lane. If she ults you and you have enough movespeed you can try to Q+R out. ”
Fluctuation says “This matchup is relatively easy in the early game, go for the Electrocute combo whenever you can, but keep in mind that she can follow up her root with a lot of damage. After level 6, try to gain an advantage or use your existing one to roam and get kills on sidelanes.”
Thecookiesmudkip says “Neeko is pretty much like LeBlanc but a bit worst (for you) cause if she catches you with her E you're pretty much dead and her ult makes you look like a worse version of her.”
Yenwai says “dodge her root and you pretty much win the 1v1.
make sure you only R if her clone is down to make sure you don't hit the wrong one.
make sure to ping if she seems to be gone for even 2 seconds.”
Bughans says “Same as morgana, however if you manage to either 1. get rooted BEFORE it hits a minion, or 2. Dodge her root, you ought to be able to easily kill her. ”
Helnakensbrorsa says “Play really safe and dont get hit by E. Farm with Q and don't go for trades.
At 6 you can kill her if you get it before her but otherwise you can't kill her. ”
Mern says “She is an AP immobile Mage, but is still quite bad for Kassadin. Before lvl 6 it will be living hell. Don't ever try trading her before 6. After you can kill her with ult.
Dodge her E with R sideways, E>Q and then R again, and W. With this you completely outtraded her.
Also, watching cooldowns is really important against her. If her abilites down, after 6 its free kill.”
ryze4thewin says “if you doge her e go in, if she uses her w try to bait out e to deal massiv dmg for free, if you are hit by Q get out as fast as possible as it deals more dmg over time ”
vukashin.xyz says “Don't stand behaind minions since her E will travel fater and root for longer
Its hard to W>E>Q her when she has W
You can avoid her R with your R
”
thedonk says “Painful to deal with her Q. Dodge her E, and you can win a trade, if you can chain Neeko before she W's, you can determine the real one. Once she reaches 6, use your W to dodge her ult. Pretty squishy, so dealing damage should be easy.”
Jenkinsu says “Her abilities are actually better if they go through minions, so position outside of your wave. Dodge her spells and don't approach your minions. Save your flash for getting out of her ult in a pinch, and buy Stopwatch.”
qasddsa says “Laning phase is pretty telegraphed for her, so just try to avoid her Q poke as much as you can by not standing in the minion wave. Her root can get really dangerous if you get hit by the 3rd one, so in teamfights you should avoid clumping up with your team and should instead be on the sides. Try to Q her during her ultimate channel -- and don't underestimate its damage.”
Gambinos says “Neeko isn't really hard to go against, she's just annoying, just like Lux.
The one thing about her from Lux though is her Ult.
Cause once she ults you, you're slowed and since you're Yasuo, everyone on the team is gonna chase you down if you weren't dead from the ult. Keep your distance.”
WubbyWulf says “Neekos kit is like ahris, she needs to land E then she can do a full combo that deos a lot of damage. If you dodge E (which is fairly easy) you will be able to win lane.”
iiCrispi says “As of patch 8.24, she is not yet nerfed, making her super deadly. She can bait you, lets say she can pretend to be a low hp varus recalling, then you ult it, but shes actually full hp. Beware of her ult and root, with it's 130% ap scaling, you would not like to be in that mess.”
yers says “She has a similar kit to yours in terms of E compatibility (her cc can pass through minions) and overall burst dmg. She's more mobile than you thanks to her W active and 3rd emp. AA. Not only that, her clone can be used as a source of vision and bait. Be especially careful when you wander around in the jungle.”
Eccentricks says “Neeko is only good in mid lane in my opinion, but you can take this for what you want. She can be scary with her movement stopping abilities, and her ult is a nice fight starter, but with some good W use, you will be fine.”
Eucalyptus says “Pretty hard to lane against but you do decimate her in the scaling match-up. Really depends on comp, but it does lean slightly in her favour.”
Fruxo says “She's able to root you with her E while putting out damage with her Q at the same time. Her R is a big circle that does a lot of damage once it ends and it also stuns everyone in it while giving Neeko a shield, so be careful of that! Otherwise she's really squishy so she isn't all that hard to take out.”
DragenDragfer says “SOLO HE PUESTO A ADC'S Como las amenazas de kai, por que me baso en la línea.
PD: neeko no es mucha molestia ten cuidado con supoke y r, listo”

Tips Against Neeko in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
xPetu says “Recommended: Sustain Runes & Teleport
Tips: Don't E in. Dodge or passive shield her Q and E poke. W her Empowered W-AA. E backwards through her when she ults. This is literally the worst matchup for Shen.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Neeko is an absolute nightmare to deal with even though she has been tuned down and her damage has mellowed out. She is everything Teemo is, but better. If you get rooted you are pretty much dead, as you can't avoid being hit by her (Q) which will pulsate & splash multiple times. She will set off your (R) with her (W) which is annoying as hell. Don't show her where you've been placing shrooms as they do this in bushes, from lane and the corners of the walls setting them off prematurely. If they go full on-hit with PTA you're going to have a horrible time dealing with them as there isn't much you can do since their range is higher than yours. A good neeko will ruin your day.”
Rhoku says “TL;DR - EVEN MATCHUP IN HER FAVOUR IF SHE BUILDS AP. DIFFICULT MATCHUP IF SHE BUILDS AD. CONQUEROR. DSHIELD WITH SECOND WIND AND UNFLINCHING ARE MANDATORY. IF YOU ARE TAKING CONQUEROR, TAKE TENACITY. IF SHE IS BUILDING AP, BUILD MERCS. IF SHE IS BUILDING AD, BUILD STEELCAPS. PLAY PATIENTLY. WAIT FOR HER TO MISPOSITION. THEN PULL HER IN AND RUN HER DOWN. DON’T STAND CLOSE TO HER. GIVE UP CS IF NEEDED. DON’T STAND TOO CLOSE TO YOUR OWN MINIONS. DON’T GET HIT BY HER STUN. DON’T LET HER HIT YOU WITH HER EMPOWERED AUTO.
The Neeko matchup is very difficult to deal with for an inexperienced Darius. Her abilities are difficult to dodge as her stun gets faster when it passes through minions. The hitbox on it is very tricky to dodge, as it will not look like it hit you even though it did sometimes. Up against Neeko, you really need to play carefully. Once you kill her once, you will snowball really hard to the point where she really can’t do anything to you but up until that point, you simply need to be patient. Neeko’s early damage is INSANE. Don’t even try to trade with her level 1. Level 2 might work once you have your E but I’d still recommend being patient until level 3, as at that point you will have enough CC and slows to run her down. The good part is that if you hit her with an ability before she makes a clone of herself, your bleed stacks will be visible on the actual Neeko. Not to mention how your Q heals you when you hit Neeko’s clone with it. Start Dshield along with Second Wind and Unflinching. Conqueror works very well in this lane, as you sometimes need the damage to punch through her shield. Not to mention how by taking Precision into Resolve, you should be able to run max Tenacity which helps against Neeko. In this vain, an early Merc boots help against her a lot if she is going AP. AP Neeko does a LOT more poke damage which makes getting caught by her stun much more punishing. AD Neeko on the other hand is a different matter. AD Neeko with PTA is going to be able to take half of your HP bar away in SECONDS early on. DO NOT let her get her empowered auto attacks off on you. AD Neeko’s abilities and ultimate are quite terrible but her damage can be very surprising. If the Neeko builds AD, you’d better have packed tenacity in runes because you are going to NEED Steelcaps. Be patient. AD Neeko is still beatable. Just try to remain healthy throughout the lane and wait for the perfect opportunity. An AD Neeko, once behind, is going to do much less in teamfights than an AP Neeko who is behind.”
I Am Goliath says “This matchup is simply annoying, try your best to dodge her E since it's quite a long root and allows her to follow up with the rest of her combo, also remember If Tangle-Barbs (her E) hits at least one enemy, it grows in size and speed, and the root duration is increased. So it can be smart to play outside of your minion wave and not give her those free angles, if it's AP neeko which most are now once you have some magic resist this matchup gets a lot easier, you can also save your E to get out of her R since she stops when she goes up in the air and you have a bit of time to get out of the circle.”
Psychopathic Top says “ Her stun lasts a century, and her Q does insane amount of burst, and it’s undodgeable obviously if you get hit by her stun. Her decoy ability (W) also makes her harder to catch. Think about the matchup like a 10x harder version of kennen. In lane, try to survive, and make sure to at least attempt to dodge the stuns, and try to farm under turret and keep up in cs. Post level 6 and sheen, if she misses her stun, should immediately look to all in her, even if it fails, at least trade flash ghost for flash. This lane usually makes Nasus really behind, and coming out of lane down a lot of gold.”
Stinkee says “Neeko is rarely seen toplane but when she is picked top she is very annoying. Her snare seems to last forever and it's very hard to dodge cause it's fast and goes through minions. You can tank most of her damage however. You will likely be more useful mid game when you group with your team.”
quinn adc says “Watch these Neeko Interactions to see combos for every ability and how to counter them as Quinn.
Play aggro early, and use E aggressively, then side step after E to bait her Root. Stay in E range of Neeko because she out ranged you, so if you are in E trande, you can trade with her at all points in the lane.
Your harriers reveal which neeko is real.
Post 6, E her when she ults to bounce of of it.
Like any Mage matchup, if she uses Q on the wave, instantly vault for a trade because that is most of her damage.”
LiL Bunnie FuFuu says “Neeko is pretty obnoxious for Thresh, ADC or otherwise. Her clone cancels your auto since it makes her invisible and, of course, you can mistakenly auto the clone if she does it properly. Her ult is impossible to avoid if she lands her root and she has good auto and spell poke. Playable if you have the right support (engage like Leona) but terrible if you don't. Fortunately, you'll probably never see Neeko support”
The_Unf0rgiv3n says “Neeko is quite an annoying champion to face. She will probably try to rush level 2 for her burst damage so keep that in mind. I'd suggest you wait for level 3 until you have Windwall before you tarde with her.
Do short, 2-3 sec. trades and wait for your Windwall to come off cooldown. If you manage to avoid her snare, then you can go in and trade.
I'd suggest to buy hexdrinker after PD because her ult damage is quite big, you can't escape it (unless you have flash) and you can't stop it.
You can actually use your ult on her while she becomes invisible for a split sec. and separates in 2.”
LoLReal says “AD Neeko top is super annoying to play against. You probably won't be against this often or at all but it's worth noting. Try to dodge her E and call for jungle pressure. If she plays too far up to last hit you can pull her in and punish, but you will get pushed in hard in this lane.”
Rhoku says “Neeko can potentially be a very annoying matchup. Dshield with Second Wind makes life a lot easier. She is very easy to combo and burst down if you can land your abilities. Her abilities are just so "uncounterplayable", in that her animations are just really fucked up. You actually can't tell what she is gonna do sometimes which really screws with your dodging. Not to mention how her abilities' hitboxes are just completely screwed. Overall, make sure she does not land her root. She can shoot it thru minions an it becomes faster so if you can, make sure there is a fair bit of distance so you can dodge. If you get hit, you will get chunked down. Thankfully, you can fight back if she misses and win, AND with your ultimate, you should easily take her down. Protobelt rush is quite good here.”
Phrxshn says “AD or AP Neeko are both extreme threats as they can out-kite you and out-DPS you. Avoid her Tangle-Barbs(E) and you can trade evenly. Get out of Pop Blossom(R) to prevent damage and snaring. Avoid wasting resources on her Shapesplitter(W). (Recommended Items: Mercury's Treads, Spirit Visage) (Outscaling Edge: Trundle) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Neeko)”

Fryx says “She is horrible for you. She pokes extremely hard, splitpushes hard and her Ult basically counters yours. Play for the team as much as you can. It will be difficult but you can tank which she can't so keep that in mind in the teamfights.”

Humitaxx says “For Neeko in mid, just dodge her stun and you should be fine, you can even use her clone to get between them and E her into a stun, to get your combo done”
FeedLaneGetCaryd says “Dodge her skillshots, especially E. Build MR early (unless it's AD Neeko). Ask jungler for the assistance. Save E to get out of her R. Keep in mind - she is pretty good in teamfights and has massive AOE CC like you.”
SleeplessX says “Juke her root or E her combo so you don't get absolutely destroyed. It will be hard to gap close her without a gank, she falls off so don't feed her and play for the team”
Breadcrumbs says “Lots of CC and damage, you will need Legend Tenacity and Merc Treads for this game. She doesn't have a lot of escape potential (aside from her clone), so ask jungler for help and play around her CDs on her abilities.”
IvernLover74856 says “Hits like a truck. Try to dodge her ult, or else ult yourself. Dodge her stun too. Build MR. Your E shows which is a clone and which is not.
I'm not sure if passive marks her if she's disguised yet”
MrShykun says “MATCHUP EVEN EN SA FAVEUR SI ELLE GO AP. MATCHUP DIFFICILE SI ELLE GO AD. PRENEZ CONQUEROR TENACITE ET BOUCLIER DE DORAN ET SECOND SOUFFLE ET INEBRANLABLE SI ELLE GO AD PRENEZ DES TABIS ATTENTEZ QU'ELLE FASSE UNE ERREUR DE POSITIONNEMENT ENSUITE VOUS POURREZ LA GRAB ET LA CHASE SUR LA LANE. ABANDONNEZ DES CS SI BESOIN NE RESTEZ PAS TROP PROCHE DE VOS SBIRES POUR EVITER UN STUN ET EVITEZ DE VOUS PRENDRE SES AUTOS ATTAQUE RENFORCE. Le match Neeko est très difficile à gérer pour un Darius inexpérimenté. Ses capacités sont difficiles à esquiver car son étourdissement s'accélère lorsqu'il traverse des sbires. La hitbox dessus est très difficile à esquiver, car elle n'aura pas l'air de vous frapper même si cela vous touche. Contre Neeko, il faut vraiment jouer prudemment. Une fois que vous l'avez tuée une fois, vous allez la snowball au point où elle ne pourra vraiment plus rien vous faire, mais jusqu'à ce moment, vous devez simplement être patient. Les dégâts de neeko en early sont honteux. N'essayez même pas de la trade level 1 et 2 je recommanderais quand même d'être patient jusqu'au niveau 3, car à ce moment-là, vous aurez suffisamment de CC et pourrez la ralentir pour la chasser. Petit tips tout comme Wukong si vous l'attaquer avant qu'elle ne se clone vous saurez qui est la vrai. Sans oublier que tout comme Wukong si vous toucher neeko et son clone avec votre Q vous allez heal comme si vous aviez hit 2 champions. Les bottes de mercures aide beaucoup contre elle si elle go ap, neeko ap poke BEAUCOUP ce qui rend son E plus punitif. En revanche neeko AD pourra vous descendre midlife assez facilement même si ses sort ne feront pas tant de dégâts esquiver l'auto attaque passive prenez de la ténacité dans les runes car vous aurez besoin de tabis contre neeko ad essayez de juste survivre sur la lane une neeko ad aura moins d'impact que neeko ap en teamfight.”
Patsito says “Just dodge everything she throws at you, specifically her root, if she lands it she is going to all in you and delete A LOT of your hp, go TP.”
Alan234 says “Go Aery with 3 points in Q.
Again I dont think there are many good neeko players (even in challenger, only quinncidence knows how to play her). As long as you dodge her q's and e's (very predictable) you will be fine. Try not to get hit by her empowered w hit (just back off when she does it). Be careful of gank setup with her R. Later on teemo is much easier to play than neeko so you can outvalue her in teamfights.”
Rime101 says “Q max and safe farm until 6
Strong all-in potential at 6, just don't get hit by her ult,
try to bait out root/clone before all-in
This matchup will be won by whichever teams jungler ganks top more ”
Ravenborne says “Depends if she goes AP or AD. If she is AD, then good luck not dying over and over again. The AP matchup is way easier because you still outdamage her if you get the drop on her. Start off the trade with E. Go 3 Rejuv Beads into both lanes.”
SpyDaFX says “broken champion. dodge her E's and Q's and kill her before she reaches level 6, because u cant stop her ult with ur W, and her combo with her ult is ridiculously strong. go press the attack and doran's shield.”
MarkFromSingedMains says “Tons of damage. Will likely slap you and won't let you get into fling range unless she's a bad player. Neeko will absolutely shut down any attempt at doing anything, extremely oppressive lane.”
Shend Support says “Well well well. U should just survive in this matchup pull the lane to urself and try to "E" her when she gets to tower range and get out.”
lulw says “Nasty neeko players, but for yasuo its pretty easy, windwall her root, and e out of her ult, flashing her r may be mandatory if you are in the middle of it. Same with lb, her clone is the one not ignited after she clones. Season 11 Neeko kinda insane, make sure you windwall that root. ”
DarkWolfDavid says “Her E can be dangerous. Its a 3 sec stun, and go through minions, and Irelia is playing around minions with Her Q, So you should be careful, and always watching out for her E animation. You can simply avoid her R if you theres a minion out of its range (Q to the minion).”
TrinityForceYasuo says “So neeko is kinda annoying with her R. Otherwise she aint really a big thread, her E is really dodgeable and her Q too. She might deny you when u have nado and try to EQ her by using her W going invisible so you can't ult her.”
ItsPaulygon says “Neeko top can be dangerous for you. She can escape your stun, she can snare you if you try to jump on her. She can also out damage you. Take Doran's shield and rush Merc Treads. If you bait out her snare, you can trade her, just be sure to hit your stun. If you do, you win.”
GLP1 says “With Kled's magic resistance reduction patched back, I caused many duels that were favorable now to be a real hell like Neeko, try to play safely.”
qasddsa says “Neeko is a terror to play against early on because she outdamages you and outranges you. In lane, it's vital that you don't stand behind minions as her E root and damage is empowered when it goes through multiple targets. Also, try to dodge her Q as best as you can as that is her main way of dealing damage if she goes AP. After level 6, she'll look to roam so you need to keep track of her. You cannot outdamage her at this point yet, so I recommend going for multiple points in Q.”
ERNESTSAURUS says “SPELLBOOK SETUP BUT INSTEAD OF PRESENCE OF MIND AND BLOODLINE, GO SECOND WIND REVITALIZE - DORANS SHIELD / 3 REJUVENATION BEADS + POT =
Neeko top is such a safe pick, she has such a good disengage with her W and E, a lot of poke with her Q and great utility and teamfight with her R. The only way to beat her is to outsustain her poke and Mana pool with Biscuit Delivery and Time Warp Tonic + Second Wind and Revitalize. In laning phase look to survive and dodge her E so you don't get that poked, its a bit hard due to the size of the hitbox, after you hit lvl 6 and Sheen Spike look to punish her E cooldown, if she misses it and she is somewhat low mana, you can look for an all in and run her down or atleast get her R or her Flash and use her cooldowns disadvantage as your advantage, if these opportunities never show up, just look to farm and get some items in order to outank her ult in a teamfight, the later it goes the best is for you since you will be able to burst her more and more quickly, also hope that she doesn't hit a lot of people, that usually determines if you win or not the teamfight since it will burst your backline. Remember you can stack her Clone with Q.”
Kokonev3inLOL says “She is a nasty champion. Her damage beat you no matter what. To only beat her try to juke her ability and do your q aa e combo to burst or poke her.”
Grayified says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ghost + Flash or Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. She has really good poke damage, can kite really well, has invisibility, has a really long snare and because of her elusiveness its hard to even ask for jungle ganks unless your jungle has really good crowd control. This lane is about SURVIVAL. It will be hard for you to deal with Neeko until you have about 3-4 items which can be hard to get to because of how well she can shut you down. Most of the time I will swap with my mid laner rather then face this matchup. (midlaners usually are ranged and can deal with something like Neeko a little bit better) If you have 40 CS at 10 min against Neeko that will be about average. Not everything is horrible though, there are some ways we can get a kill on her in lane. If she uses her snare and misses and we have a good amount of hp and fury that will be a good time to look for an allin. If you hit your w slow before spinning on Neeko and Neeko uses clone, the chicken effect will be on both the actual Neeko and the clone however the real Neeko will be slower which can giveaway which Neeko is the right one. Usually her clone will move at a faster move speed then the actual champion which is one small way to tell, but when you are caught up in a fight it can be hard to tell at first. In the mid-late game splitpush what I have done is buy a sweeper for when she uses her W that way I can try to track the real one from the beginning during the all in with my ghost. You must engage on her with full fury and if you can try to get her to face check you in a brush or around a corner or something if you want to try and guarantee a solo kill. If you cannot duel Neeko yet, THEN AVOID THIS MATCHUP AT ALL COSTS! Especially if it is glacial Neeko, you just cannot get away.”
EntxRecoil says “Fleet Footwork Runes and Build. Ghost + Flash or Ignite + Flash. Dorans shield start. She has really good poke damage, can kite really well, has invisibility, has a really long snare and because of her elusiveness its hard to even ask for jungle ganks unless your jungle has really good crowd control. This lane is about SURVIVAL. It will be hard for you to deal with Neeko until you have about 3-4 items which can be hard to get to because of how well she can shut you down. Most of the time I will swap with my mid laner rather then face this matchup. (midlaners usually are ranged and can deal with something like Neeko a little bit better) If you have 40 CS at 10 min against Neeko that will be about average. Not everything is horrible though, there are some ways we can get a kill on her in lane. If she uses her snare and misses and we have a good amount of hp and fury that will be a good time to look for an allin. If you hit your w slow before spinning on Neeko and Neeko uses clone, the chicken effect will be on both the actual Neeko and the clone however the real Neeko will be slower which can giveaway which Neeko is the right one.

Ayanleh says “Medium difficulty. you can remove her ult when shes channelling so you can beat her in the shadow realm much easier and she will not have anywhere to escape to with her W.”
Shumair says “A lot of Neeko's kit revolves around teamfighting. Due to this she has no real pressure in lane once you've built even the slightest bit of health. Her teamfighting prowess mainly stems from her ultimate. You can, however, completely negate this by ulting her whilst she's chanelling hers. This will mean only you're hit by the ult which will basically render her useless. You can probably kill her in your ult too if she uses/used her W badly.”
wallobear53 says “If you are standing in or behind the minion wave, her E root goes further through the minions. Standing away from the wave cuts her effective root distance down while also giving you ample time to react.
Neeko has a lot of AoE damage and CC in her kit, so she is especially potent during team fights. Watch out for her Passive-Ultimate R combo as she can charge it up and do a lot of damage before you realize that she is using her Ultimate.
She has high burst damage due to her E and Q but long cooldowns, so try to fight her when one of her abilities is down as it will not be up for a while, which will give you a good trading window.
”
9690 says “D-Blade. Don't think of it as a Lux matchup, her stun goes through minions and lasts longer the more it goes through. Just make sure you W or dodge it. I don't recommend going for roams into her as she will destroy your turret with her W passive. Outscales you. Take Fleet or Conq (Depends on team comp).”

BloodyDream81 says “Même chose que pour tous les mages top, tant que tu ne maitrise pas Darius parfaitement évite, et on travaillera tous ces match up ensemble si tu veux !
”
Alzeidx says “Really Nasty Matchup, you will have to wreck her in early, as it will be really hard for you after she hit lvl 6. She has lots of CC and decent amount of burst. dont trade with her, just try to burst her down with full rage ON. Go PTA”
JuarezLOL says “a very hard match up because of neeko's E
but you have 1 way out which is grasp of undying and baiting her E with movement in early game
when you used Q on her try to move with her to stun her even if she used W ”
Beatport Expo says “Easy laning phase against her If you build Spirit Visage, you could try fight her head-on but with her Crowd Control. You'll unlikely to hit her with anything and she can block your Q with her clone. Personally, do not engage her in a fight unless you're confident you can dodge her abilities.”
Itreallyhim says “Skill matchup, Either you stomp her or she stomps you, you will have kill potential on her all game though, Remove her ult from the game with yours.”
Death Rusofag says “Te pokea exageradamente, puede anular tu entrada y puede dejarte fuera de combate con solo un par de sus habilidades. Jamás le entres cuando tenga su R y salte de ella con tu E, trata de farmear y escalar.”
JPlayah16 says “Neeko fills a similar role to Lux with her ability to snare people and lock them down. This is exactly what you don't want to have happen to you. Most Neeko players are very aggressive with their spells and will try to punish you every time you go to farm. A good option to ban in mid lane.”
Defensivity1 says “A lot of poke, this lane is very dangerous to be in before level 6 just as with jayce, once you have completed triforce steraks and spirit visage however, she is no threath at all, if you find yourselve too low to survive her poke before level 6 feel free to base and teleport back to lane ”
Skarner Main says “If you ever face this Neeko toplane close your window so you dont jump out from it no joke
Tips stay away from your own minions so when he roots you it dosent last for 5 years
Just survive lane and get the fck out of there and start roaming
And dont cry for ganks
Shes like the same level as olaf aids to face”
Karnan says “Extreme lane bully. Max Q and build alot of AD. She is squishy so she can take as much poke as she can deliver. Play as a bitch until you got some AD. ”
HKRV says “Teemo, but more annoying with 256 stuns. Mostly all skill shots, so dodge and all-in. Really squishy so electrocute helps. Also rare matchup. ”
Hellan says “garen é sofre na line phase contra personagens com CC a neeko tem um quantidade absurda de CC e de dano ela tem muito dano em area que da um otimo clear wave desde o começo do jogo, então mesmo desviando dos pokes de CC da neeko voce ainda vai ficar recuado dada a pressao que ela aplica no early game.”
Vodka4Gaben says “Complete retardation of a champion, you can't win against her because she keeps rooting you in lane, I advise dodging if you see Neeko going top and preferably starting to ban her.”
MamaDuck says “Neeko is quite hard to counter. Her CC is very hard to fight but you can kill her. With good enough timing and with a good enough combo you could easily kill her. Remember to always go in on her when all of her abilites are on cooldown. Her CC will easily shut you down.
”
Angela du Seithr says “Pas si simple qu'importe le build choisi, elle reste toutefois plus facilement à portée si elle joue AD. Neeko est un champion qui vous donnera du fil à retordre mais que pouvez facilement mettre hors course avec votre burst.”
vosak25 says “She can poke you from and and even when you get to her she can root you. The best way to lane against neeko is waiting for jungler to gank and wait when she misses her E.”
DrMoneybags says “I haven't had to deal with Neeko toplane too much, but her poke and self-peel make it pretty hard to trade with her. If you get dismounted, you'll probably never touch her without flash. Her root and Q will burst you down if you lose skaarl, so be careful. On-hit Neeko can also poke pretty hard early, so grab that D-Shield.”
kubsak26 says “If you are annoyed by this champ in to this sion bulid counters her kinda. Early is hard because of her range but after you farm few minions and get some hp from items you can basically endure her little e q combo and hit her with your q and it would deal more dmg. Thankfully her e is not a stun so you can charge your q no worries. If you wanna all in her try to e her use your ult then w and q last do that to be sure she is not gonna be able to use her ult before you.”
Tokor says “QUELLE EST CETTE HORREUR ? Si vous avez le malheur de la croiser en build AD, achetez rapidement des Tabi Ninja et faites comme vous pouvez pour survivre.”
Saiyan02 says “The diffrence between Neeko and Lux is that Neeko actually has a decent escape tool so she´ll be harder to kill than Lux. But you have more all in burst damage then Neek and your E is very good against her. So keep than in mind.”
Trixelkour says “Just no. Take Merc Threads into Protobelt to gain a little bit of distance. Go for Dark Harvest or Grasp to poke and stay in lane. Be careful of ganks and focus on the map more to locate enemy jungler.”
Cyl1nd4 says “In my opinion Yasuo is the perfect counter for her. You can dodge everything beside the ult with your wall and in lane you just dash out of ult. Be sure that you don´t fight her without any minions to dash on after lvl6!”
