## How to play against Neeko

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

### In lane and in teamfights

- Stand near minions to bait Q onto the wave, then punish the forced push. Sidestep E before committing to an extended trade.

- Check disguised units before walking into river and count missing champions during objective setup. Force her to reveal before your team groups tightly.

- Spread around choke points and hold displacement for her R channel. Turn after she commits, because her escape is limited once the engage fails.

## Where Neeko is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

- Neeko relies on disguise and clumped targets, so forced vision makes her engage much easier to read.

- Her escape options are limited after committing forward, leaving failed ultimate attempts heavily punishable.
