Unlocking Neeko's Secrets: Players Find a One-Click Method to Defeat Neeko - Bug or Feature?
Accidentally clashing with Neeko in a match may lead to moments where she tricks you by cosplaying as a minion and then one-shotting with a combo.
In version 13.9, Riot reworked Neeko, swiftly turning her into a top pick in both Solo Queue and professional arenas shortly after. Beyond her stats and somewhat 'toxic' skills during the laning phase and skirmishes, Neeko also frustrates many players with her Shape-Shifting innate ability. However, this Shape-Shifting ability becomes a double-edged sword for Neeko.

In version 13.22, a player on the LMHT subreddit discovered a unique 'trick' to counter Neeko in her Shape-Shifting state. Specifically, using Ignite on Neeko disguised as a minion will instantly finish her. The reason is that Ignite always deals an additional 100% base damage to non-champion units. Therefore, using Ignite on minions will make them perish instantly. While theoretically correct, instantly finishing a champion like Neeko with Ignite can lead to severe imbalance.As of now, Riot has not provided any information about a loophole in Neeko's Shape-Shifting ability. Hopefully, in the future, Riot will have optimal solutions for Neeko, as her popularity is likely to remain high in the professional arena for a long time. Wishing you a peaceful day, and see you in future articles!
