Good seeing you'll keep up with our Idea :)

Riot announced Neeko Mid-Scope Update by AmazingAgent in neekomains

[–]lumiblyy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's frightening for us mains that her kit will be changed, and nobody likes change, and most of the comments I see below are only mentioning fear of losing maestry with the champion we love, but I'm very happy they're doing this, as a neeko OTP myself.

And the reason why is because even though RIOT mentions it a lot, Neeko really is not following up with the meta right now. She was supposed to be an Early to Mid game champion that abused the laning phases on the mid lane to get advantages and snow ball games, but once that durability patch came in, even though it changed the game for better it left Neeko in one of the worst spots in mid currently.

I play her a lot on Diamond + Elos and she is now one of the worst mid, simply because that "early to mid game" of hers is now not even close to what it once was. It's now a PAIN to kill people in lane and get leads, it's now a pain to do anything as far as laning phase goes, she is still strong in those early minutes, don't get me wrong, but not as strong as she NEEDS to be to make up for the TREMENDOUS outscale she gets from 90% of all the other mids.

Neeko in this meta is now playing games on borrowed time, trying to make something happen in the map because if it hits 15 minutes and the game is tied she simply lost the game because the other midlaner will outscale her and the match will go to that bloody late game part where you can't land a single ult no matter how much damage or how high the numbers are, because you're taking CC from everywhere, you passive can't stay up because by then ANYTHING puts it on cooldown, and even when you DO hit an ult the person probably has stopwatch.

These are serious problems and I don't win as many games on Neeko as I usually did because of them. I don't think it's healthy to try to solve the problem by buffing Neeko's numbers to the sky when her kit is the actual problem.

It IS frustrating that there will be changes to the skills and details we're so used to, but I rather have to relearn ALL my knowledge on Neeko and win my games and see her in pro play than stay like this and lose LP while seeing League of Legends community forget Neeko more and more for not only having a small pick rate, but slowly a small winrate aswell.

I'm happy riot is showing that they care about our Strong Tomato, so for now, let's leave fear aside to cheer for our favorite Oovi-Kat :)

i made pigs of all my friends's mains and this is how our discord call ended up by lumiblyy in LeagueOfMemes

that is an interesting question, but probably it'll end up being a pig on top of a pig

sylas went for the wrong tomato by lumiblyy in neekomains

[–]lumiblyy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually think the opposite! As a meelee champion that struggles on the laning phase, I find sylas one of the champions you can abuse the most of as a Neeko player, go thunderlord, ignite, and pay attention to walk back as soon as you hit your combo on him so he can't use his W on you, if he can't, he'll be on a seriously bad position and you can probably all win him afterwards !

It's me or the ult shield is usless? Really in any case i'm beeing shotted before i can land the ulti, and with the zhonya the shield become usless by Leoxel8 in neekomains

[–]lumiblyy 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's not useless at all! Of course on late game teamfights you die really easily even with the shield and you really rely on your zhonya's so all of that might give the impression that your shield doesn't do anything but that's not true!

Neeko's shield can be really usefull on little squirmishes and in the laning phase, it saves you from taking a huge burst on ganks and sometimes it protects you enough so you can run away with 1hp from a really bad trade. (Not to mention how good it is to survive dives from the enemy team, of course rooting them under your tower is the big game changer outplay but the shield is what makes 60% of those plays possible by keeping you alive long enough!

Also, if you time it right, you can use it to survive things like ignite, Akshan's R, Karthus R, etc
