Tips Against Neeko as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
daltonfresh says “Neeko's stun (E) goes through minions and can fully interrupt your engage. Also, her clone (W) can block your Q, but you'll get the heal anyways so feel free to hit it every time since your Q damage is very low. Lastly, always count how many minions are in the wave, there should be 3 melee, 3 ranged, and sometimes 1 cannon. If there's 4 of any, it's Neeko shapeshifting. You can also press tab and check Neeko's portrait. If it's highlighted but you don't see her in the map, then she's blending in as someone else. You can play dumb to bait her abilities, but keep in mind that she'll throw her stun the first chance you give her, so be extremely careful about that.
Other than that, keep in mind that she has a lot of damage, and that her ult preview won't be shown if she's transformed as someone else.”
ShriekingMammoth says “Can be quite annoying, but if you are able to play around what Neeko is trying to do with her passive/clones, you can punish her very well.”
The Stabbio says “I personally always ban her. You almost never play against her, but when you do, it will not be nice. She can turn into a minion, making it harder to hook her. Also, she can W so you hook her clone.”
ZedAway says “the only annoying thing that u should worry about is her turning into a minion and hit u with an E Q combo
rush mercury treads and u should be fine, try to ult ur adc out of her ult, (ur ult does not cancel hers)”
Arctic Arrow says “Neeko is a minor threat in the laning phase due to her strong poke and crowd control, but she can be managed with good positioning. Her Q (Blooming Burst) and E (Tangle Barbs) can deal significant damage and provide crowd control, making trades tricky.
Keep an eye on her cooldowns and try to avoid her skill shots. Engage when she is out of position or has used her key abilities.
Her ultimate (Pop Blossom) can be devastating if she lands it, so be cautious of her positioning and try to send her away while she is casting R with your E (Timing!)”
Abarame says “Low elo shenanigans with this mage supp. As long as your aware of her passive, Neeko can never beat you. Your q reveals her and breaks disguise so bait her into the range and punish hard.”
IMANOOBOKOWO says “Dodge her root and you can go all in, carefull where you use W so you dont chase her clone since its the only thing she can do to actually bait you around.(remember to count minions so your adc doesnt get ulted)(also you can send her away while she is casting R with your E so you can really stop her ult if you timed it right)”
Foxirion says “Neeko’s crowd control and burst damage can pose a significant threat to Nautilus. Her ability to disguise herself can also make it difficult for Nautilus to identify the real Neeko.”
Foxirion says “Neeko's crowd control and burst damage can be a challenge for Rakan, but Rakan's mobility and engage potential can help him pressure Neeko and disrupt her in fights.”
schizoslvt says “who plays neeko...
1 thing to note is she cant block your q with w in the first second of the cast
meaning after she becomes invisible for a brief moment she is still in the same place and the clne hasnt spawned so you may be able to hook her still”
Velkyann says “Not very hard to win only problem is if you have bad concentration because she will be a minion. Her Q is very hard to dodge and her E is a very long stun if it passes through a unit, all you can do is focus on the minions and dodge her E.”
Sinyora says “You won't come across this as much as other supports but she still can destroy your E) Black Shield easily. A good Neeko will also block your Q) Dark Binding with her W.”
Kcmichalson says “[SUP] Neeko is an annoying support.
Her roam potential is massive and she'll likely be roaming as soon as the first back. Keep an eye on your lane and ping her disappearance as soon as she backs so your mid or top don't get a rude surprise.
Other than that, avoid her root and count minions so you and your ADC don't both get knocked up by her R.”
Your_ Local_Eldritch_Horr says “Lots of cc, count the minions to see if she's hiding in the wave. Try to stick on your adc a lot here so you don't get caught out and killed.”

quecck says “I actually found this threat by playing against Sett support as her. Neeko can just poke you all day. Her E cd is shorter than yours so she can cc you if she feels threatened whenever you approach her. The enemy Sett's mistake there was not taking advantage of hex flash in the bush. Neeko can still E you however. (plus you can tank way more damage from the ADC than her).”
Samikin says “Skill Matchup.
If you are facing a good Neeko, you will need to know how to play against it well. Once you sleep her, wait for her to be slept before throwing your Q. If you throw it before she is slept, she may be able to throw her clone in the same direction to block your Q. Outside of that interaction, her E+Q combos hurt a lot. Besides that she can't do much else. If she tries to R you, you R out of it just like in the Star Guardian Cinematic between the two.
Recommendation:
Aery (+ Ingenious Hunter) rune page
Crown of the Shattered Queen + Lich Bane”
Melyn says “Don't forget her passive and W (don't get baited!) and keep track of her 3 hit passive, as it makes auto trades bad.
A lot of times she will W aggressively and try to land a root. Additionally, be aware that if she roots you THROUGH something, you're rooted (significantly) longer.”
MusicJG says “She has a faster clear and good teamfight threat with her ult.
Try to spam tab to see if she's on the map to tell your team to be careful.”
SirZeros says “You can outrange her. Most importantly you need to get used to go away from your minions not standing behind them as her Root is more powerful after hitting one of your allied minions(/champions).”
quecck says “I actually found this threat by playing against Sett support as her. Neeko can just poke you all day. Her E cd is shorter than yours so she can cc you if she feels threatened whenever you approach her.
The enemy Sett's mistake there was not taking advantage of hex flash in the bush. Neeko can still E you however. (plus you can tank way more damage from the ADC than her).”
HumbleMundo says “Although not seen often, just like Zyra's root Neeko's can go through you onto others so be careful, and with her ult also being cc you have to pick which cc you want to tank during the fight”
mazewalk says “Count minions and ping your teammates if shes absent. Try baiting her skillshots and punish her for wasting root. During teamfights zone her away from your teammates so she wont hit great ult.”
JezebelleXX says “She will outtrade you if you take extended trades when her W passive is up, but otherwise you are much safer pre-6 than Neeko. Be cautious of disguise when she hits 6. Celerity recommended.”
Caganos says “Outranges and out-dps's you. Her W can also kill your bush-play and she is all around annoying to play against. But you can eat her and instantly kill her if she tries to pull that bullshit minion thing.”
DepresedEef224 says “She is an Anti-engage champ. The only times you wins is when she is not your lane opponent and down a bunch of levels. If you lane against her, you lose.”
ohsuko says “Neeko is insane. Her damage is incredible and she has a root that goes THROUGH minions. If she manages to catch you with her R, you're dead.”
mazewalk says “Neeko always been quite a pain the ass, but after the rework she's even more annoying. Try to bait her skills by standing on the edge of their range and count minions while they come.”
WolfDelt4 says “Her stun is shorter range than you, her basic combo is E + Q it does a lot of damage look out. Her ult is very strong and she does as much damage as you.”
Casterslamham says “Her root is very potent and with the right adc they can destroy you if it hits you. Her damage is less then normal powerful supports but watch out for her root.”
iveye says “Neeko pre level 6 is a easy match up but her Ult can stun you out of your engage like a amumu could. The difference is she can R from her back line and walk forward so it could be a bit harder to get to her mid-late game in fights.”
cyb3r1a says “Stay outside of the wave when she has E up as it can root you for 3 seconds at max rank. If she took electrocute she has very strong trading power so probably just max range Qs to trade.”
gizemdeniz says “Neeko and Ahri's kits are similar in some ways. However, we can easily defeat her because we have higher speed and higher dive potential.”
mazewalk says “Dumb CC, dumb poke, ridiculous damage. Play patiently and punish her for wasting skills. Don't give her kills, because she has good snowball potential.”
Fenreee says “|||MID & TOP||| Neeko is pretty bad into Janna as Glacial cuts her already low burst damage. Her R is crucial for her to be useful in the midgame and without Zhonya's Janna can just push her away with R. Neeko falls short against Janna after 6 and if she's not on your lane you can just avoid interacting with her until you both have 6. |||SUPPORT & ADC||| This pick is actually realy strong pre 6 into Janna, but the way you play the matchup depends heavily on what playstyle Neeko is running. If she's running ADC marksman build you just treat her like a marksman and win because she's championgapped. If she plays Comet you want to make sure you avoid her Q as she's likely maxing it. Optionally rush Swifties to accomplish this. Electrocute/Glacial/Anything else should be maxing E, so make sure you pick Glacial and run Mikael's if needed, as she can use E to set up her R which can be quite devastating when combined with a stopwatch or Zhonya's.”
Atemporal says “Neeko's é um dos magos com o início de jogo mais forte. Evite ser cutucado por seu ataque automático com poder de W. Use E para desviar do E, se você for atingido, você perde MUITO HP. Se Neeko iniciar o Q, é possível ir para um push de Q nível 1, mas se ela
começa W como ela deveria, você vai ser cutucado demais. Se Neeko sentir falta de seu E sem que você precise usar E para evitá-lo, troque com ela o mais rápido possível. E1 - Q - E2. Enquanto fizer esse combo, você poderá proc passiva mesmo se ela for. O Real
Neeko sempre será aquela que acumula 2 passivas nela. Se a Neeko jogar corretamente (que é jogar de forma super agressiva) você não poderá empurrá-la no início do jogo. Jogue para sobreviver, baseie em torno de 750/785 de ouro para pegar Dark Seal +
Anel de Doran. Se você sentir que não precisará de regeneração de mana extra do Anel de Doran, basta usar Dark Seal + Amp Tome. Após sua primeira volta, você pode começar a procurar negócios. Você pode negociar mesmo que ela tenha E, contanto que você use W antes
A razão pela qual esta lane é de dificuldade média é porque se você pegar muito poke cedo e acabar ficando para trás, você continuará sendo pokeado e você nunca poderá matá-la. Negociar R com Neeko também não vale a pena, a menos que você faça uma boa negociação
porque seu R só tem um cooldown de 90 segundos. Mais tarde, é super arriscado lutar em equipe contra Neeko, porque um E em um R irá CC por tempo suficiente para o time inimigo matá-lo. Jogue split push, se Neeko tentar defender 1v1 contra você, procure empurrar
as ondas e então procure por Ws quando ela estiver limpando as ondas. Como Ekko limpa as ondas muito mais rápido que Neeko, você também poderá empurrar e atacar o time dela. Merc Threads é sempre uma boa opção quando se joga contra Neeko.”
Cheeseypops1 says “She is gonna poke you super hard all you can really do is cop it, Try to farm with E + Q until 6 Then ult her and kill her, Take ghost btw ”
huirats says “Neeko support isn't common, but I personally play it. Her root goes through multiple minons, so be careful of that. Don't stand in her Q after she throws it at you because it'll activate multiple times. Her clone isn't hard to distinguish, but poking it with your autos will count for your Spellthief's so it's not terrible if you do get tricked by it. Don't drop Tibbers unless you're 100% sure its actually her. ”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Once Neeko has her Ultimate Pop Blossom(R), her kill pressure will increase. Make sure you back when you’re low when she has her Ultimate up. Neeko can deal a lot of burst damage if she’s able to land her Tangle-Barbs(E) on you. Position towards the opposite side of the lane and as far back as possible to make it harder for her to land this ability on you. Stand outside of the minion wave at all times if possible. Neeko’s root from her Tangle-Barbs(E) will be increased if she is able to throw it through the minion wave.”
RoseOfInnistrad says “Neeko has great disengage with her E, and her W makes it very difficult to chase if she goes invisible. She can only take fights if you walk into her though, so switch into a peel build and it becomes a neutral matchup.”
Demonsedge90 says “In the grand scheme, this matchup poses a significant challenge for Leona as if Neeko can easily read your movements (landing her tangle barbs or pop blossom), you could either succumb to her team or fail to catch her in time. With this in mind, it's best to engage from the fog of war or when she doesn't have pop blossom (ultimate) or tangle barbs (root) available to avoid being locked down when looking to disengage.”
qosmox says “I don’t really know how to deal with this matchup tbh. Her W and E are really good to deny you from taunting in for trades, and her poke is really strong. And she runs away from ganks with W super quick and roots the jungler with E. I think the best thing you can do it just to try your best to farm while staying as healthy as you can (gl) and hope she makes a mistake under tower and opens herself up for a taunt. If not, then just accept the lost lane and try to help other lanes out with R.”
LilPaniniUwU says “take Barrier. Both Neeko and zoe have similar range in their kits. Just poke it out and if you land a bubble you can kill. try to use your Q at weird angles on a bubble since she can self block with w.
”
Eu como Miilena says “O poke dela é um pouco difícil de lidar por conta do stun dela passar por minios e se estender também juntamente com seu Q porem é bem fácil de ver quando ela joga ele por conta da cor então proteger seu adc não é difícil. Fugir da ult dela não é difícil apenas coordene seu adc para ir para o lado oposto ao seu e use R+E. ”
DtNikk says “Neeko is alright. Carefull as her E is empowered when passing through minions though. If you see her start ulting, silence her so she doesnt flash to your team . Either supp item is good here.”
TheBlueImperial says “Neeko isn't the biggest trouble in lane, she is just another immobile mage. The issue is once she is level 6, she can completely counter an engagements you make on her team with her R. Wait for her to either waste it or burn it engaging on your team and use your combo as a counter engagement.”
beeinthefranxx says “She can poke and cc real hard. be careful in this matchup. like if you walk up to AA Q then you can get cc's and q'd and maybe even die if her ADC follows up. plus great mobility”
Gobomo says “Dodge her E and don't get baited by her W, and you should be good, even if you won't have a very fun time in lane. If she starts Q first, always be moving, and don't be afraid to go in to poke her with Q-Auto, as she can't punish you with anything more than damage. If she starts E, go in whenever she casts it, then back out after you get your damage off. If she starts W, she'll most likely be able to zone you off of doing pretty much anything unless you manage to get a lucky stun off of a minion. She's very mana hungry in lane, so you have better staying power than she does. Your [[Tempered Fate]] will shield allies from her ult, if it comes to that.”
neuroplasticity says “Off-meta and therefore usually picked primarily by OTPs, you don't want to underestimate Neeko player's creative ways of cheesing the game.
Pay particular attention to her passive and don't get baited - Neeko players love to disguise as low health allies and bait enemy players.
Past 6 you won't see Neeko channel her ult if she is disguised so be prepared when someone is running straight at you.
In lane try to bait out Neeko's root which lasts longer if it hits you through minions. She does have high base damage early on but little utility and poor scaling so going even means you'll end up ahead.
Neeko herself is fairly squishy so landing one bubble can easily spell death for her.
Overall you should do fine as long as you respect her burst. After 6 you can always ult to disengage.
”
Doglightning says “take Barrier. Both Neeko and zoe have similar range in their kits. Just poke it out and if you land a bubble you can kill. try to use your Q at weird angles on a bubble since she can self block with w.”
LimTheDestructor says “Try to dodge her root. Don't get confused by Neeko's clone - don't engage on Neeko who is stupidly running it down to you because it will probably be the clone. If you see Neeko casting ulti and running to your teammates, use CC to stop her.”
warmfishu says “Will very much try to Tangle-Barb (E) you to reset W and follow up with Blooming Burst (Q) for damage. Also gains movement speed, a clone, and invisibility with Shapesplitter (W), so she can sneak up if you aren't paying attention.”
Korippo says “Her E is a snare that goes through minions and the longer it travels, the longer the root is. She can also turn into her allies and make very sneaky (quite literally) plays, and her ult is also a CC that gives her a temporary shield, plus she can hide her ult windup by disguising as an ally as well. Her Q burst damage is extremely surprising even at early levels, and she will generally oppress you and your ADC all lane. Due to her presence being quite rare though, she's not really a champion worth banning as she's mostly a comp-specific or OTP pick.
A little tip: you can auto attack her clone and get your passive off of it, so if you know it's the fake Neeko, use it to your advantage. That's the only real advantage to this lane though, unfortunately.”
0Banda says “ Neeko is not an easy champion to face, she can't hit her Blooming Burst withouth hitting she's Tangle-Barbs so try dodging this skillshot with your incredible amount of dashes and look forward to engage when her Tangle-Barbs is on cooldown
Neeko's Pop Blossom is also easy to dodge for you, just use Grand Entrance or Battle Dance out from she's ultimate. Also take care about her passive Inherent Glamour, she can transform into a low-health champion to bait you.
Against Neeko build as usual, in the rune section take Unflinching just in case you get rooted by her, also play as usual”
Fear The Jester says “Skill matchup, most neekos are trigger happy with their ult, so bait hers out with yours. dont place aggressive boxes against her, place them behind you so she cant just W to break them, act like youre placing them aggro so she sends her W to you and use that to get free spellthief stacks. COUNT THE MINIONS!!! if you notice one of them acting weird/know which one she is, ping it to your adc so that they know.”
LuxIsMyCrush says “not really a problem but neeko's clone are probably the greatest anti traps skill in the game, just driving her clones near saplings will be enough to trigger them off.”
Naut1Trick says “Ah yes stun. Like Lux, Neeko is also a very brain dead support to play against. Sure there is skill in playing any character but fighting a Neeko makes me want to die. Watch out for her ult and root and you'll be fine.”
Doody_tco says “It is hard to avoid getting by Neeko cc all times, if she managed to root your carry once, especially after level 6, it will probably mean the end of them”
Billehz says “Can be very annoying, her high damage poke can be hard to deal with especially if they are a good neeko player, but getting out of her ult should be pretty easy for you as Ahri.”
dragonmasterc says “Support Neeko's poke is pretty predictable, given she needs to hit something with her E to get its increased range. Her Q is vastly outranged by your E, making the matchup easy in general. ADC Neeko is exceedingly rare, but should you find it, try to shut down the lane by poking her or her support down early before she builds enough lifesteal and attack speed to start running people down.”
Vispectra says “I'll put her as even, 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 320 or 640 R and a full rotation of your abilities, if you have the mana.
I recommend buying boots asap.”
DamselOfDistress says “Neeko needs to engage through minions to be effective. Position away from the minions and you should be fine. Don´t waste your Q on her clone. Better keep it for after she ults, than waste it.”
Daraysen says “She has high damage, can block your hook with her clone and can root you down for her combo, don't get to close, best option here would be to wait for the jungler again until you have a solid foot in the lane.”
KeleiX13 says “Neeko has quite annoying damage in lane but her E should be easy to dodge. She doesn't have much to kill you with until 6, so go aggressive and punish her for missing her Es until 6. If she W's and you want to ult, don't do it unless you know which Neeko is real for sure so you don't waste it. ”
LilRidge says “Obnoxious if anything. You can kill her early if she wastes her root (E). You do not want to engage when she gets 6 as she will demolish your engage with her ultimate.”
Tauricus2017 says “Neeko can apply a very significant root If you get hit by her E while it passed through other characters making this ability very dangerous and hard to counter. Her Q is very fast spell that is hard to dodge (at least the first explosion) and her W provides her an easy escape tool. Overall - pay attention. Watch closely who is Neeko, sometimes it is easy to spot on her attack speed, gameplay and/or ability usage. Play safe and cautiously.”
Ruiner of Fun says “Her damage output is insane but this is to make up for her lack of abilities. In high rank be very mindful of her clone. It may look like a hard INT but that makes it all the more surprising when she roots your entire team. DO NOT FLIP INTO YOUR TEAM UNLESS SHE IS FEEDING.”
Starchase says “Sustain all her poke damage with your E.
Don't detach from your ADC, even if she uses her E, it has a pretty low cooldown.
Tell your ADC to not position behind the minions, that way her E doesn't get empowered.
Care about her lvl 6 burst combo, she can hide it with her W so whenever you see Neeko running into you, just run away.
Pay attention to the champions and the animation of their autoattacks, this way you will recognize if it's the real champion or it's just Neeko.
You outscale her.”
losolkos says “Same rule as most of the mage you need to move all the time but this time dont Stay behind the minions this will give shit if she hits minost than you she will deal you more dmg she have speed boost and clone her self somtime is hard to catch her also stay away from her when he have ult if she hit you all abilitis you are so just when she use her ult use E and run away then you can try to strike back if she use all abilitis .”
EionThePepega says “While Neeko is not hard to fight, it sure is annoying and can give you bad habits, seeing your root and be counterplayed when behind your minions, hers actually enhances when going through waves, making her root the same duration of yours. Honestly, she's just you, but better (except the whole black shield ability).”
mscocca says “The Root on her E can be dangerous at times when you engage with your W (Cougar). Punish her when she wastes or misses it. She might give you a hard time with her W but that's her only real escape.”
XtrassXio says “Neeko is gay. Gays dont like blacks. and blacks dont like gay. the bigger gay/black wins, and gays get more support in life (currenly meta)”
razzyhealer says “Deadly as a support for the same reason Morgana is. Her CC also goes through all minions throughout its range, so you won't be able to use minions as shields. Stay attached.”
icebombhunter says “Her e is strong and she does tons of damage, go hail of blades, once you grab her e immediatly and she is dead. Once she has 6 be careful and remember that if her health bar turns red her ult won't stop yours, but the opposite, so if she is one auto away from the red health and ults just auto her and r.”
fishbully says “ONLY IN SUPPORT ROLE: Dodge Neeko E and the lane is very easy. Focus more on shielding ADC and preventing Neeko from ulting by counter-ult or with Q.”
m3nto8 says “Neeko is very easy to beat. She is rarely ever in position to hit her empowered E, and she's really squishy. Just don't fall for any of her illlusions and tricks.”
jessuva says “Neeko support is like Lux support but worse because she has no shield. Although she can root more people, for some reason I find myself dodging Neeko roots way more than I can dodge Lux roots. Neeko deals damage, but she doesn't have a huge huge range like Lux, so she's easier to deal with. ”
Kilo Khaos says “Neeko's passive can make for interesting baits, so make sure to keep good vision control and ensure it's really her, and that you aren't getting ganked. Also, be aware of her ability to escape with Shapesplitter (W) and engage with her Tangle-Barbs (E).”
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. ”
Reason97 says “This matchup pretty much come's down to who's more on point with their stuns on the given day. in theory you have an advantage over neeko, but she has a little bit more leeway in her ranges then you, so just keep it in mind. ”
xlouis31 says “You have to dodge Neeko's roots or you will be poked out of lane very fast. Stay behind your minions and let them push. Wait for ganks and all-in them once you are lv. 6.”
Mczrks says “Her cloning is straight up annoying, especially when you want to ulti her. Other than that, she have a root, something that is really problematic for pyke. See, pyke cant use 2 abilities when he's rooted e dash and more importantly his ult. His w is almost useless aswell when he can't move”
thesophieset says “Neeko support is really dangerous when played well. Her Q pops three times on champion hit so get out before it chunks you. Try not to stand behind minions when she casts her E as it extends its duration and keeps you snared for up to 3 seconds. Not a good lane for Soraka, but if you play it safe and manage not to get stunned by her R, you can win.”
Oiaki says “The only thing that wont be able to stand is her stun. "BRO EVERYTIME I GO IN SHE USES IT" ~ you soon
But really, if u cant stand her, ban her.”
Abusable Yuumi says “Very rare to see Neeko bot, but it happens. She's a worse version of Fiddle. Little to no threat pre-6, but if your ADC gets hit by her ult they're probably dead.”
Dougaroo says “Neeko's stuns followed up by her splash ability can leave you dead quicker than you expect. Fiddle early game is super squishy and won't last a minute with her if she is in the support role or if she happens to gank your lane. You need to keep your eyes open for her stun ability and try to predict it. She would be a major issue if she had more mana and didn't guzzle what little she has early game before you've built up health and ap.”
Cat Elf says “Neeko has a lot of CC and damage but her range is pretty short and if she misses her E in laning phase you can just walk up to proc your passive. ”
OzzyRX says “
Very problematic, her E can cancel your jump even after being in the air the Q can give you a lot of damage the W can make you miss the jump and ultimately break your combo”
Jointed says “While Neeko can rival our poke and all in damage early, she is just not up to par in mid to late game. Play the early safely and capitalize on their pick in the mid game.”
Gravixx says “Everyone still falls for the clone very often. A good Neeko will use her clone well, but you can tell from a few things. If she's cloned as an ADC she will have visibly lower attack speed than the ADC, likewise if shes cloned as a very high damage champion she will have comparatively low damage on her auto attacks. Similarly if she's cloned as Soraka or someone like that she will do noticeably more damage with her attacks. You can also tell by how aggressive the enemy is, if you see a Soraka running up to you without casting any spells, its probably Neeko. If you see someone from another lane at very low health running towards you for some reason, it's probably Neeko. These are the types of logical things that you have to keep an eye out for to avoid dumb engages.”
Aizenvolt says “Neeko is a skill matchup. If you get hit by her stun you will take a lot of damage. Try to poke her when you can and after 6 try to kill her. Be extra careful with her ultimate because it does a lot of damage and does an aoe stun.”
GoBucket says “Nasty - CC and good burst. Once she gets 6 it's going to be tough to engage. Engage only if you are going to all in and know you will kill her, but try to find these windows of opportunity pre-6 to get ahead.”
spark2 says “Neeko can roam like hell, so ping if she leaves lane. Other than that, she has no dashes or blinks so you should be able to land W's on her fairly consistently. If someone strange walks into your lane...it's probably Neeko. Don't fall for her lies! (And don't get into melee before whacking her with a Q, her ult is disguised if she is!)”
Jiyani says “Neeko can easily outpoke early, as well as cancel your dash with her root, and jump over your Moonfall's pull which will cancel Moon Landing.”
BubbaStudmuffin says “Neeko has massive range on you and you cant hide behind your minions for safety. Your only hope is to land that pull on her and then stay on her activating your passive. Still this is hard because she is squirrely with her invisibility clone. Makes it hard to all in her.”
semisomniac says “Treat Neeko as a threat on the level of a mage support. She's high-damage and high-kill potential. Your silence can't interrupt her ult cast.”
TheComicalBiker says “Be aware that her passive allows her to look like another champion. This can lead to a bait. Neeko can use Shapesplitter (W) to escape and Tagled-Barbs (E) to engage.”
ff20orfeeding says “Not a matchup I have ecnoutered too much, but I can imagine this would be considered a bit of a skill matchup. Annoying none the less.”
Pykings says “Pyke vs. Neeko
Early Game: Watch for her root ([E]) and poke ([Q]). Avoid her empowered autos.
Mid/Late Game: Neeko can burst squishies. Focus on catching her out with [Q] and [R].
Key Tip: Be cautious of her disguise ([W]) and ult ([R]) in teamfights.”
