How to play against Neeko

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

  1. Stand near minions to bait Q onto the wave, then punish the forced push. Sidestep E before committing to an extended trade.
  2. Check disguised units before walking into river and count missing champions during objective setup. Force her to reveal before your team groups tightly.
  3. 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.
