And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Neeko seems to be built to be a jungler which was my assumption rather than a midlaner. It's main trait makes it for ganking than laning and I expect that's where it will end up.

They said she was being played internally as either mid or support. Despite how her abilities are seemingly advertised in the video they aren't intending for her to be a jungler, although they "won't try to stop" anyone who tries to make it work.

ahhh fuck its the rats again
Would be cool if as a jungle you could cloak as the enemy jungle and gank a lane and the opposing player thinks they are getting a gank when in reality they are getting ganked.

Like say cloaking as a enemy jungle reveals your position on the minimap and gently caress over people who aren't paying attention like a Team Fortress 2 Spy.

Epic mind games when you're pretending to be the 1,300 max hp jungler with a full item when youre actually the 900 hp support with blue knife

boom pog the loving boy coming through no information looks at the champion and instantly deduces the correct roles right again :hellyeah: :slick: call me pog copperfield this is magic right here

E: celebration about being right yet again aside, jungle is her worst role for passive because your best copy is the jungler. if you, jungle neeko copy the top lane ornn, nobody is going to buy it

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
She could probably mesh well with Aurelion Sol or LeBlanc mid from support for players who really like to roam

This is the most lackluster preseason patch I've ever seen. This champion isn't impressive either - she's Lulu that tricks people who don't read the map. At this point they've given up the ghost of giving a poo poo about anything except their esports thirst.

At least they're finally doing something about Taliyah.

Shes just lux with a different ultimate and they swapped Q and W

e: and the stun is better because its bigger AoE and presumably has infinite targets

Riot has no idea what balancing is. They either change 15 champions and 30 items at once, or they don't do hardly anything.

Neeko is the first canonically openly gay champ and also has about one trillion voice lines.

Do you know where this was confirmed? I'm curious (since technically varus sort of is the first but it's done very obliquely). Is it her story?

She looks like a glass cannon caster Wukong and I love champs with those kinds of bullshit visual fuckery abilities. There should be more tricksy champs. I've long pondered a champion whose trick would be to blend in with minions of either colour by throwing on a robe when they get near (and thereby dropping off the map except as a minion dot)

the changes to turrets and minions are pretty impactful even if they're not adding a billion items or reworking the jungle like usual

they shelved those bruiser items from before and planned to release them this preseason i think

From personal experience in the last weeks of the season, not a single drat one of you fuckos below challenger can go after the right leblanc when she splits even if she has a dozen different particle effects and buffs and debuff icons floating over the real one, Neeko will either be impossible for people in the lower rankings to spot the differences in clones or it will train people to get better at dealing with leblanc and shaco when they split, wouldn't surprise me if leblanc goes down 1% winrate over time just by people finally learning how to spot a clone.

Q is essentially morgana W, puddle that increases in damage longer your in it.
W is on-demand short Leblanc passive with a attached 3 hit auto damage boost
E is morgana/lux Q with the multi-target hit of lux but the long duration and width of morgana.
R is [insert screenwide AOE CC circle of death here] mix between amumu and zyra ults.

Look forward to playing "Guess which is the real Blitzcrank" while sieging towers.

I play him a lot and thought he was kinda busted before this so hoping this doesn't push him over the edge. Seeing some bans already though...

If Leblanc has a potion running, watch for those particle effects covering her, the clone won't have it.
