Not long ago, the reworked version of Neeko was implemented in League of Legends (LoL). Now, Neeko can shapeshift into various units on the map such as minions, wards, and Blast Cone… This will create a huge surprise in Neeko’s gameplay and make this character much more interesting.
However, the League of Legends community has recently discovered some very effective ways to counter this champion. Specifically, players just need to bring up the scoreboard and click on the chat block for Neeko. At that point, the icon of this character will change based on the unit she is currently shapeshifting into. This allows players to check if the opposing Neeko is hiding somewhere.
Moreover, some support applications for League of Legends also inadvertently completely counter Neeko. For instance, the Blitz app can display the gold difference between the user and the opponent right below the health bar. Therefore, even when shapeshifted, this gold amount will still be displayed above Neeko. This way, players can easily identify this character.
After discovering these counter methods, the League of Legends community could not help but feel frustrated. Some even suggested that Riot Games should include Blitz in the list of prohibited applications because it makes detecting Neeko too easy. The chat block should also be adjusted to always display this character’s icon instead of changing continuously as it does now.
In summary, with just a few simple tips, League of Legends players can easily detect Neeko’s disguises. This significantly reduces the element of surprise in Neeko’s gameplay (which is extremely important) at the current time. Perhaps Riot Games should listen to the community’s requests and come up with suitable solutions in the future.
