Tips Against Neeko in Middle Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
darkezmond says “A sufficiently large range of attacks and a lot of damage at the beginning, wait until she spends her Q and E and then switch to her Q and E”
AnxialSociety says “You outscale and should consistently outtrade, but her cc/poke is brutal and she can land snares into a kill combo.
You can R out of her ult.”
Deru says “Very annoying matchup since flipping her into your team is a good thing for her, though she isn't played that often. Try to bait out engages so she wastes her ult or w to then go in again and flip 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”
MiniLuxi1 says “It's better to keep your distance. It is quite dangerous if you do not dodge its Immobilization (it can fly through creeps), if Niko runs to you, and then the 2nd one appears, be vigilant and better put W so that she could not easily get you. After 6, it's better for you to keep your distance with her, because if she turns into an "ally" of her team, she can hide her R and kill you.”
StralekS says “Not Playable: Conqueror/ Resolve: vs Mages, Ignite + Flash, Doran Shield/ Dark Seal start. Play lane safely, farm, and when she wastes ability, punish her with Q and if you are in good situation go all in. Either go BOTRK rush (recommended) or full AP.”
Deru says “Very annoying matchup since flipping her into your team is a good thing for her, though she isn't played that often. Try to bait out engages so she wastes her ult or w to then go in again and flip her.

Mind Of Kayle says “Dont stay close to your minions as she can bounce her stun from them to you. When you AA or E her before she uses her clone, u will see which Neeko is correct one thanks to press the attack mark.”
Shaco Mid Lane says “Very strong laning phase, she can harass you and if she roots you once you are almost instantly forced to recall. Her clone can ruin your boxes. (E-max)”
Demonsedge90 says “Neeko is a shifty opponent to deal with and can clone out on the fly and attempt to confuse you. Her kit has access to a root & stun that can lead to your demise. Make sure to avoid combat with Neeko until she has exhausted all her options.”
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.”
Simelodeon says “I: Ludens
R: Standard
S: Alles möglich
Alle ihre Spells haben sehr geringe Range also spiel mit high Range E Poke. Zhonya hilft gegen ihre Ult”
Lucid Walking says “You can Q her clones to still profit from rejuvenation, so to get a free heal off, don't be scared to use your Q on it.
Be cautious of her trying to set up an E towards you. She'll annihalte half of your hp with ease once she hits you with that.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Always watch your positioning during the laning phase. Try and stay at max distance so it’s harder for her to root you with her Tangle-Barbs(E). This will also make it harder for her to get a good Ultimate Pop Blossom(R) off as she has to close the gap in order to stun you. Stand outside of the minion wave at all times if possible. This will make it harder for Neeko to push and poke you at the same time with her Blooming Burst(Q). Once Neeko has her Ultimate, her kill pressure will increase. Make sure you back when low whenever she has her Ultimate up.”
Adamonias says “You can beat her in lane, just requires good positioning. Don't stand behind minions or her E gets super speed/range, if she has no E you can kinda just throw abilities at her. She can bodyblock ur E with her clone. Once she has 6 the E-> ult combo can fuck you up, if you can perma dodge E just save flash for her ult. You CAN take clense but i dont think its neccacery most of the time”
SkyBanana says “Neeko best decision is to trick you with thinking it is someone else for her to Pop Blossom the enemy team. Early game she is a very strong lane bully with her Q poke and W harass while E sets her up for it. Your saving grace is that if she W clone wrong... your R will extend off of it and gives you that much effective reach to captivate people fleeing the fight from miles away. Just remember that you both act the same but play differently.”

NegativePhoenix says “Pretty annoying poke and stun power honestly. Her Q does more damage if it hits minions who die or hits you and her root lasts longer the more targets it hits. Just try to keep your distance, play safe and bait her into ganks.”
Lightning_Ranger221100 says “Neeko is the fucking F.O.A.B. Get out of her range as best as possible and try to poke. Her passive on W makes her great at 1v1s. You out sustain her so take advantage of it.”
Body Those Fools says “You have to dodge her Q and especially her E or you will get poked out of lane, have to blow Flash, or die. Her E range gets extended when she Es a minion so watch out for that. If she hits her Q, run out of it as fast as possible because it pops again for more damage if it last hits a minion or hits you/a champion up to three times. If she Ults you, you can just Ult her away or drift out of it.”
Bunan says “First Strike- Magical Footwear - Futures Market- Cosmic Insight - Second Wind - Unflinching
AH-AP-HP
Sapphire Crystal Refillable
FLASH TP
Q->E->W
Q max ->W->E
Dont stand ontop of minions
Dodge her E with your E
Early game bully, you win post 6 & outscale
Focus on csing then go for kill lvl 6 (Dodge her ult & you win)
R 9/10 huge AOE stun/dmg/shield
Zhonyas second (R)”
OSG Rewynd says “Neeko is easy to lane. Neeko players love missing E when you walk at them. You can usually kill her solo, and if not, just shove and roam, because she has much less waveclear than u.”
Zoose says “Her E root is her only main threat, and it will increase the root duration, speed and width if it passes through minions. Therefore, try not to align with minions and go aggressive when its down. At lv 6, you should look to W flick her away when she's about to ult.”
CaptainBattlaxe says “Very hard to kill cuz invisibility, poke her. Stand next to minions, not behind. Orange for healing or to remove bind. Passive dot will help you track the real one.”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: Aftershock or Predator]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Push your lane and roam]
[Dodge her skillshots]
[Don't get fooled by her clone]”
Axty says “As soraka you have to play safe, position behind minions and such. Neeko removes that option. Her E will make playing into her a living hell for you.”
basrty1p says “Watch out her E and her R
You should be fine in lane since your skill has a long range better than her even early game.
You DPS damage will be outscale her in mid-late game since your Worked Ground Q can slow and kill her quickly before she can do anything.”
Esrucnl says “I don't know who still plays this champion, but should be free if you ult her and dodge her E/R with your E.
Just be careful because she can clone herself (W) and soak your ult with it.
Make sure you don't get too poked before you do.”
Azurio says “Like some other mages, she is really predictable, avoid her E Q combo with E and go for trades if she misses or use it on wave. Care about her R flash and proto/luden powerspike.”
ddieguito_es says “She can dodge your utility, poke is annoying and if she roots + R you you might be dead. Even if she's a big problem, she's squishy and it's easy to kill her IF you hit your CC.”
beansoce says “early game she has alot of dmg and poke, get early cdr or boots to dodge her abilities or outsustain the dmg. Save ur w for her ult not her e.”
Bunny Kata says “W to dodge every spell, E to dodge every spell. She is not quite killable because of her W so try to bait her near your turret.
Flash-TP + Doran's Shield”
Billbo Dabbins says “Arguably the hardest matchup for Ziggs. Not worth a ban due to the low pickrate, but has the highest winrate among champs against Ziggs.”
Berdasco9 says “El matchup va como el de Lux, el pokeo de Neeko es mayor pero es mucho mas fácil entrar en rango para saltarle simplemente ten en cuenta su daño.”
donidaking says “ANNOYING ANNOYING ANNOYING!
Her range is so cancer for vladimir and her empowered autos hurt.
Try to last hit as good as you can and watch out for her E pool it if it goes through minions as the stun duration is increased and offers her a free combo rotation on you meaning you can t lane anymore.
Doran shield is viable this lane or got teleport watch out level 6 since her R also give her a shield and most neeko players will opt for perfect timing which means they ll get a free stopwatch.”
Dustyacer says “Pretty awful mu, if she hits you with her e, you take so much damage. Dont let her empowered aa for free. She is always behind the clone, so if u can tell who is closer to original location is the real one. Also pta procs on her reveal which is the real one. Our e blocks all her abilities. Pre 6, can be used to block q dmg if u get rooted. Post 6, can still do that, but try to save it for her r.
Try not to let her freeze the wave outside her tower, having a lot of your minions make her have more angles for her e, you basically cant cs anymore except with charged q.
Only reason not extreme is because her short range and the ease of blocking her stuff. She also falls off decently hard. I honestly think this champion is terrible, i almost never lose to neekos on any champion in lower elos (but i also used to main her so might be biased)”
Xalt says “Neeko is useless without her E so try to stand close to your minion wave so she either pushes with Q and over extends for an all in, or you freeze and zone her out. Your E range is further than her E so you can Q E. As she roots you, ult and your ult duration should keep her in distance for the all in.”
officialwiseguy says “The hardest part of facing neeko is remembering what her passive does. Be wary of level 6 all in, keep flash up as much as possible.”
DabiDabi says “Her stun is annoying as it extends and goes faster if it hits minions. Avoid being hit by more than 1 of 3 of her Q's bloom. I suggest going Null Orb. Her R can do surprising dmg so watch out for that too. ”
V1kt0r555 says “[Rune Keystone: First Strike]
[Summoner Spell: Teleport]
[Starting Item: Doran's Ring]
[Recommended Mythic Item: Luden's Tempest]
[Dodge her skillshots]
[Gets much easier after you bought Mythic Item]
[Don't get fooled by her clone]”
Fake Supp says “if she has a big brain you have a hard time but if not its not very hard to play vs her just dodge the root and lane gets easier to play simple as that”
Kamachamaeleon says “Neeko has some insane scaling that allows her to burst you down, and with her Q and E, it's very easy to get caught out by her. I would play passively and get your jungler to gank your lane as much as possible to allow you to also roam. In this matchup you will want to roam as much as you can, without losing out on much xp or cs.”
desch3445 says “You don't have a surefire way to dodge her root, and if she hits that root, you're done, dead, out the lane, walk of shame back to fountain.
Just survive lane, farm up, and you'll be able to 1-shot her in mid-late game.
Take the Electrocute page; While she might not be mobile, she's got good poke, and it's real hard for her to miss her root, so you're not gonna be taking extended trades vs her.”
ThePieBeam says “This champ is very scary. In Aaram. In lane; however, it's just a matter of dodging her Q and not being so stupid as to fall for her W. I put her at even because of the same reasons as I put Morgana there, she has 7s of cc with a scary amount of bust attached. It should't be too hard to keep her locked down though since she barely has any mobility as it is, and a move fast ability doesn't even count against Anivia. If you're struggling into this lane consider building tier 2s asap to help dodge the Q (either swifties or merc treads).”
xmarksthesp0t says “Early and Midgame superhard. You are not even safe under turret. Lategame she falls off and you oneshot her sooner or later.
Most of the game she outranges you and have good cc to keep you at a distance. Be prepared to be down alot of cs and reach endgame later than you want to.”
Callmebee says “Neeko is a strong tomato! Similar to Ziggs match-ups, I like to stay a bit further from minions to make sure she doesn't get a second cast on her Q and I accidentally get hit by it. Her root goes through minions so be wary of that, once she misses/you dodge, it is easy to go poke. If you struggle, take Mercury's Treads; any summoner spells are viable.”
TcKatfish says “[Press The Attack Runes / Long Sword and Refillable Pots start.] Neeko is quite a hard champion to lock down. You can't engage using grapple like you normally would. This is because of her W and it making her disappear while a clone that can stop your grapple in motion. She can also be threatening if she lands her abilities on you. Be sure to dodge her E and run at her with Q and auto attacks. Use E if you can get behind her however you won't get very much of its damage off. Post 6 if she hits you with a snare she will do a lethal amount of damage. Avoid being hit by E but you can still play aggressive. Be sure to get out of her R range if she begins to cast it and then go for the kill.”
lonestar1870 says “Play this similar to the Lux matchup.
Dont let her hit her root on you, especially not through minions. She will be able to get a really good trade on you if you do.
You should be able to kill her pretty easily at level 6.
Her biggest weakness is short range and difficulty setting up a good ult.
You can take Electrocute or Comet for better laning damage, but PR is also good so you have better chances of getting out of her ultimate.
I like Teleport since it's such a good summ, but you can take ignite for more kill pressure or cleanse if they have a lot of CC.”
IreliaS Secret says “У нико рендж автоатак больше, но урона меньше чем у тебя (как с автоатак, так и с умений). Не позволяй себя поукать. Старайся ее запушить. Если нико промазала каким-то умением, то старайся сократить дистанцию и раздамажить ее. ”
Nafnegle says “Neeko is a strong tomato! Similar to Ziggs match-ups, I like to stay a bit further from minions to make sure she doesn't get a second cast on her Q and I accidentally get hit by it. Her root goes through minions so be wary of that, once she misses/you dodge, it is easy to go poke. If you struggle, take Mercury's Treads.”
livikattt says “Her cc and damage is pretty ridiculous, but you can kill her pretty easily if you land your spells first. Plus, if she tries ulting you, just stopwatch (if she rooted you) or escape with your ult before going back in to kill her.”
Juplicate says “She has good poke and burst early but does not scale well from her lack of range as a mage. Play safe into her early and use your e to get out of her ultimate.”
BigChingas says “Every time i fought a neeko I won every game. Her abilities are predictable and easy to dodge (except ult but ult is predictable too). The only issue you might have is her clone. Honestly, a lot of neeko players think the same so it is easy to predict them.”
WayOfTheTempesst says “This matchup is annoying as hell. You can never Q3 into her or she will just E you and full combo you.
E back when she channels her ult. If you get hit by her Es at all, prepare to lose lane or most of your HP.
Use your ult after she uses her W so you have vision of her. If you hit her when she uses W while you're in
your E, the E mark will show the real neeko. Don't let her poke you for free with her autos and her W
passive.
”
WayOfTheTempesst says “Matchup is even but annoying.
She has a 3 AA passive on her W so try to not be in range of her early to not get poked down by her.
If she lands one E on you, you are going to lose a lot of HP.
Any time you go for a Q3 knockup, she just Ws and you can't R her OR she just Rs and if you ult you take massive damage and get Ed.
Best way to deal with her is to just push and look for roams since her wave clear isn't the best compared to most mages.
Windwall her E and E away from her while she is Ring.”
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 your spike or more you should be 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.”
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”
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.”
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. ”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
angeLoon says “lethal dshield In Resolve second wind and unflinching.
neeko is pretty annoying to play against but you can still win when facing her,try to dodge or block her E to trade against her.
yasuo can block her E and Q”
ILoveYxne says “just use your E to dodge her cc, it's pretty easy to predict.
your E will mark you that neeko is the real one (when she uses her W) the marks of the red tone of the E and so you know what it is.”
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”
kindo says “Neeko is relatively low range like Kindred, and can pretty easily outdamage her given that you get in range. Dodge her root (she has to throw it through minions to be useful) - or just don't line up behind minions for her to root through.
Tenacity pretty much makes it possible to run her down through her combo, and any poke she'll deal you can sustain with your W.”
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. I would heavily suggest buying a Hexdrinker against her.”
resetwice says “She can farm safe and has hard poke! You can buy doran's shield if you feel you struggle on this matchup. Be careful on your minions to not get her E stun so you won't suffer an all win (you can dodgen stun using your Q on a minion or jumping a wall). You can buy Serpent's Fang to soften her R shield. BEST RUNES TO GO: ELECTROCUTE/PHASE RUSH”
Kessi says “Neeko is assassin counter in general (lockdown and anti assassin R) can be quickly bursted if you do get the jump on her, play with team to create lead as she's hard to pressure. In general it's just really hard to kill her, since you have no way out when you E in, I would suggest throwing some Q's at her and go for a kill. Try to ask your jungler for help to get a lead, that will make the matchup much easier. If she's not ahead and you are, the possibilities to win are higher.
Mercury Treads are recommended.”
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.”
duhnx says “High poke and an annoying ult. Let her waste her Q or E before going in for an easy kill. Just don't pull her into your team when she ults please....im not talking from experience trust me.”
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.”
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.
”
xMetix says “Not played much but usually she's very hard to kill. Her W makes her very safe so try to fight when it's down. Make sure you have a dash to escape her ultimate and fight her when it's on cooldown.”
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.”
tozosi says “She'll root you any time you try to walk up for CS or to trade making her very annoying to deal with. Generally, you'll be pushed under turret. Try to roam if possible or wait for a gank.”
TheDuskWalker says “Any Summs. Phase Rush or Electrocute.
Just dodge or pool her e to negate most of her damage which comes from eq. She's only strong in the early-mid game so just outscale her. ”
Nanelol 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.”
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.”
shidonryoku says “Niko is now very strong against you, E through creeps, very high damage with combo. She is much more useful in the early game than you are in 2v2 fights, so avoid the crab fight with her. She will poison your life, but as soon as she spends her E, you jump into her and kill.”
cookanarities says “Neeko is relatively low range like Kindred, and can pretty easily outdamage her given that you get in range. Dodge her root (she has to throw it through minions to be useful) - or just don't line up behind minions for her to root through. Tenacity pretty much makes it possible to run her down through her combo, and any poke she'll deal you can sustain with your W.”
TheWerefloof says “Avoid standing behind minions, only quickly move behind them to use your Q. If her stun is on cooldown, abuse her for it. Past 6 if you don't have an significant lead (or Galeforce) you might want to hold your E to escape her ult instead.”
luminyan says “Another skill matchup. Neeko is just you but slightly different. If you can dodge her root, poke her back with your E. If she manages to root you, turn around and Q+E her back. Barrier recommended here.”
KarmaFull says “Take tenacity runes and build mercury treads to have ~50 tenacity (This allows you to walk or E out of her combo after she stuns you.)”
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. ”
Joseph Evanss says “Shes really annoying in the early bits of the game because of her poke but just try and survive and heal it up with D Shield and Second Wind.
Try to dodge her e with your e. Go Second Wind, Revitalize + D Shield.”
ahspaghetti says “go d shield and second wind to deal with her insane poke. you want to look to dodge her root and keep in mind that it goes through minions too, so standing behind minions might not be the best choice. the better choice is to e in when she tries to root you to dodge the root, then its basically free. ”
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”
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.”
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. ”
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”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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)”
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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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 “ad
i dont give it 5 because neeko is rarely played and not to say the as version but its annoying to play against, you can barely trade her bc pta dmg is broken and so is her w dmg combined with cc and selfpeel, try to play with your jungler and focus on short trades/outscaling
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.”
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!

[LEVEL 2]:
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.

”
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”
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.”
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.”

Tips Against Neeko as a Support Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
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.”
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 “Neeko just has way more range than you in lane, so you have to time your engages precisely and make sure you can hit eliminate her from the equation before you target their bot lane.”
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”
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.”
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).”
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. ”
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.”
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.”
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.”

Tips Against Neeko in Top Lane Tips Provided by MOBAFire Guide Authors
Vixylafoen says “Like Lux, except she has more cc and faster abilities, meaning she's more annoying and slightly tougher”
Thrandor says “Neeko can poke you down with her spells while its hard for you to catch her. The attackspeed variant is even more dangerous, as it is, again very hard to fight back and even harder to heal back up against.
However, When you get onto her it can be a good free kill: Dodge her ult cc with your ult (press R at the very moment that she would stun you) and hold Q to follow her through the invisibility of her W. She should be below half HP by then so just look at the blood trails to keep her and her clone thingies apart.”
Azekar says “Conqueror/Fleet+Second Wind.
Start Doran Shield.
Ghost+Teleport.
Hey Werona. Top Neeko is incredibly annoying and hard to play against. Deals a lot of damage in a short time, but is easy to defeat in melee combat. When the opportunity presents itself, go for it and try to kill. If you dodge her E with your W, you should have no problems getting to her and killing her.”
Night Guy says “She really isn't a threat at early levels okay she has the upper hand at poking but if you decide to fight her use your Q immediately to mark her when she uses her W so you know which one to chase. You block her snare with your W and if she tries to make a big play with her ulti use yours to pull her out of the fight and it's done.”
TwTvRANGERZX says “If she wasted E, land your slow and spin in. Start fights from your side of the lane so you can run her down.
Avoid taking damage for free.”
RuchaczSzmat69 says “I think this champ is very underrated, she has very good amount of damage, W that works similar to lb passive but better, huge gamechanging ult and very good damaging ranged skill on Q. Fortunately her kit is orientated around her E stun and you can W it so she cant deal full Q damage. She is squishy and you like it, get sheen and you should be okay. Her empowered auto might be hard to outlasthit your barrel but if u take some practice it shouldnt be a big problem.”
JustCallMeVox says “Neeko loses to Azir on all fronts. Azir outpaces her with consistent damage, so just avoid her skill shots and you'll be fine. When she tries to all in you at 6, just have a sand soldier prepared for escape.”
TwTv EUWXYZ says “onhit & ap neeko both is rly annoying since she can stay on a lot of range she provides many good CC tools for teamfights to deny u and her R is a big ass lockdown CC with an good shield so u might as well fail ur reset on it if ure not paying attention, same as with all ranged matchups play with fog of war and try to not get beaten too hard in lane (cs wise)”
Evandabank says “Oh boy is on-hit Neeko extremely annoying.
Good news your Kled into a ranged champion. Wait until you get a couple of points into Q (Level 5 Preferably) and then All-in the Neeko with ignite. Try not to get poked down. If you dismount against a Neeko you will never remount and you will have to take an early reset. You need to All-in her the moment that you get to lane to avoid taking poke. At 6, Neeko R is not a big problem. Just get Merc Treads and you can face-tank it or try to dodge it by using your E and kiting through her after she presses R.”
BreadyToCrumble says “Neeko is hard because she has burst potential AND sustained damage, but she's so rarely picked it shouldn't be too bad. Although she outranges you, you can still burst her down as she's quite squishy. Try to ult just before her ult comes down, OR ult when she lands her E and you know the full combo is coming.”
DixonTheGuideMaker says “Always watch your positioning during the laning phase. Try and stay at max distance so it’s harder for her to root you with her Tangle-Barbs(E). This will also make it harder for her to get a good Ultimate Pop Blossom(R) off as she has to close the gap in order to stun you. Stand outside of the minion wave at all times if possible. This will make it harder for Neeko to push and poke you at the same time with her Blooming Burst(Q). Once Neeko has her Ultimate, her kill pressure will increase. Make sure you back when low whenever she has her Ultimate up.”

Make sure you back when low whenever she has her Ultimate is up.”
CosmicTurtle88 says “If it's AP it's okay, she'll run out of damage after the first few levels, AD is a different story. Don't get poked too much or get hit by her E through minions. Same ranged strategy of letting
it push in and ghosting on her when you land Q+she's pushed. Eat her when she ults so she's in your belly when you're stunned. ”
7EyesNoSkills says “She is not a problem until pre-6, but after she reaches lv6, she can ult you, root and deal a lot of damage. Buy some mr and she can't kill you with her skillset.”
WildSamu says “Dshield + Red Pot.
On-hit Neeko is more annyoing to deal with than the normal AP version.
Play safe like other ranged lanes, dont take free damage for 1 extra creep. Dont Q3 her or she will E you. use your E to dodge her root. Your E mark reveals the real Neeko.
Her ult can be pretty crazy in teamfights, so keep her in mind when grouping up.”
kurbart says “Neeko aka Ne Ko Ni Ko Neee
======================================
shes not much of an issue no hard dashes or escapes she is a easy fight but her clones could be a mind game issue wall her and if you caught the real one delete her ”
VituVonDoom says “I love Neeko alright, Imo she is the cutest thing in the game, and I stan this little tomato to hell and back. But facing her is not so pleasent, especially on hit neeko. Stay away from minion to not get hit by her E or Q redetonations, and Hammer E her away when she attempts to ult. Go Elec page, and show that Jayce is a very strong tomato”
Potent213 says “Recommend: Grasp + Ghost
In this matchup take Dshield + Second wind, double tenacity is also nice especially if their team has a lot of CC.
It's a very rough matchup as she has so much range and movespeed, so try to play for bushes to hit front vitals, react to her E and parry it (QW works like wonders here).
Thankfully her 6 is pretty bad vs Fiora, basically a free parry, and if u don't have parry you can usually Q out of it.
So try to survive and call for ganks as she has little options to survive ganks, u can QW into front vitals if u want to go for a short skirmish.
Thankfully you only need to succeed 1 parry for her to get really punished, so look for that in this matchup.
Stridebreaker is good here.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Neeko can annihilate you from range and wreck any chances you have of winning. You have got to avoid her root at all costs because if it hits, you become a stationary target for her Q”
ShacoMagicTrick says “I know this is rarely seen in top but oh boy if you face this lizard prepare for trouble. She basicly disables your boxes with her clone before she engages into you. She can outpoke you and snare you. Ban or dodge if possible.”
desch3445 says “You don't have a surefire way to dodge her root, and if she hits that root, you're done, dead, out the lane, walk of shame back to fountain.
Just survive lane, farm up, and you'll be able to 1-shot her in mid-late game.
Take the Electrocute page; While she might not be mobile, she's got good poke, and it's real hard for her to miss her root, so you're not gonna be taking extended trades vs her.”
Black Demon Ezel says “Neeko has annoying amounts of CC with her root which can have it's duration extended if your not hit by it first. Try to smack her with your q as much as possible and rope her in with your E so she can't escape”
LunaticDancer says “Gambling not viable, D Shield. Annoying. Generally a similar lane to Lux, will test your juke skills. Her E is the most important skill to dodge, take extra care to do that. Very vulnerable when caught.”
xPetu says “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.”
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. If she builds the AD on-hit build you should build items like Plated Steelcaps and Bramblevest, otherwise build magic resist items. The AD on-hit build is much less popular now though so you shouldn't have to worry about it.”
Sovereign Kitten says “Since her release, Neeko 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, so avoid being hit by her (Q) which will pulsate & splash multiple times and will be often comboed when she has you rooted. 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. It's overall an okay match-up as long you simply, learn to dodge her combos or avoid them all together.
”
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, Rylai's Scepter, Force of Nature) (Outscaling Edge: Singed) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Neeko)”
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.”
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”
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.”
slogdog says “Immobile, but insanely annoying. Has the E that can go through ghouls and root you for 9 years, and has the ult that literally makes you have to walk away from her. Also the W. no comment on that.”
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: Dr.Mundo) (Sustained 1v1 Trades: Neeko)”
Raen says “Annyoing opponent. Get Doran Shield to and Mercury for laning. Early sheen for fighting Neeko and kill potential. Try to block her third AA from her W passive to not get bonus dmg.”
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.”

MisterDerpFace says “I dont like laning against Neeko at all.
Try to dodge her E, and try to stay away from your minions since if her E hits something, it goes faster and the Root lasts longer.
This is one of those matchups that no matter how well you know how to play Urgot, you'll still have a bad time since all she nneds to do is just hit her E...
This mathcup is very opressive in my opinion.”
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.”
Amvill says “If you don't get rooted, she can't really hurt you. Keep track of who she is disguised as you don't fling and ulting Neeko into your team.”
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.”
YasTilt says “Really Annoying Champion, try to block her Q and E and start to take fights when her E is in CoolDown. Try to buy a QSS to remove her CC.
”
PK Noob says “While you can easily avoid getting hit by her E and Q but not her Ultimate if she gets it off in the perfect position. Be aware of her Ultimate and be ready to dash away from her.”
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. ”
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.”
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”
Unmasked Kayle says “[Ranged matchup runes] A "secret" counter to Kayle, AD Neeko just pushes you out of lane and kills you every time she hits her root. Your PTA proc allows you to distinguish the original for the clone. Ask for jungle help because she's not super hard to gank. The matchup is in Neeko's hands, you cannot do much.”
SunOak says “Personally I like to bring rune page 2 into Neeko so she can't CC you for a long time and get her Q damage off. You win all ins if you reach her. Bring MR runes and start with Dorans shield.”
Alan234 says “Go Burstmo, but build defensives early.
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.”
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.”
SmollJon4s says “Awful laning phase. She can almost kill you with a full combo which will always work as she can root you even if you are standing behind your minions. Play as passively as possible and never stand behind your minions.”
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.”
calbino says “In all my matches, I've ever played against Neeko Top once. She went AP, so I don't know how to play against AD Neeko. All I can say is rush mercs, and she can't do much. Watch out for your W accidentally hitting hers, though.”
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.”
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”
top is high impact XD says “if you engage on her she e's you, if you don't she pokes you to death, to win this matchup you just have to be faker and dodge every ability”
tibs2 says “This match up is rather hard in the lane phase. Look to farm up best you can and beware of her e. You turbo outscale so just play to not die. Don't take d shield. ”
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.”
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”
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 ”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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 “Start E-> bait her Q-> Let her walk up for cs-> Go in for trades when she walks up for cs-> Dodge or bait her E-> E on her before she uses W so you can see which Neeko is the real one-> Let wave push to you and make freezes-> After level 6 preferably bait out her R by going in for a trade, once you see R is casting, dash back immediately and you go for trades safely afterwards + gank setup for her gets greatly reduced
”
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.”

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).”

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. ”
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.”
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. ”
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!”
