As we know, in the recently updated patch 12.11, Riot Games introduced their latest champion to global players named Bel’Veth. This is the jungle champion from the Void that Riot has long teased, characterized by the ability to stack infinite attack speed and transform to gain sudden power.
Besides the power factor, a tradition among new champions in League of Legends is that they are bound to have bugs, to some extent. And Bel’Veth is no exception to this tradition, as players have recently discovered that the Void Queen makes her ally Neeko extremely “weak” when transforming into her.
Specifically, when transformed into Bel’Veth, Neeko’s basic attacks deal no damage whatsoever. Not only to champions, but even when hitting map objectives like Shimmering Flower, Explosive Seed, or Healing Fruit, Neeko cannot activate them. The only way for Neeko to deal damage while transformed into Bel’Veth is by attacking the eye of the Rift Herald.
Clearly, this is a very serious bug for both Neeko and Bel’Veth, as Neeko’s passive allows her to deal damage even while transformed. Remember that if she cannot deal damage, Neeko will not automatically return to her original form and will be forced to use her abilities or, worse, take damage from opponents. Therefore, the advice is for players to avoid transforming Neeko into Bel’Veth until Riot fixes this bug.
