Hello again, fellow tomatoes! 🍅

After hours and hours of writing, reviewing, and condensing my games from Master/GrandMaster SoloQ, I'm so excited to say that the first major version of The Evil Neeko Guide is officially ready for all of you!

Since a high-elo meta changes rapidly and completing every single champion in the game with deep level-by-level details is a massive undertaking, I decided to build this as a Living Guide.

Instead of making you wait months for a static PDF, I have completely covered the top 20+ most common midlane matchups you face in 80% of your games right now (including Ahri, Yone, Yasuo, Zed, Syndra, and more).

What does a "Living Guide" mean? I will be updating this Google Sheet week after week directly from my high-elo games experience. I'll be adding the remaining niche matchups, patch adjustments, and upcoming sections like Itemization Tier Lists and Hidden Mechanics/Tricks dynamically!

You can access the live spreadsheet here:
👉THE EVIL NEEKO MIDLANE GUIDE🍅

Make sure to check the notes inside! If a matchup you are struggling with is still missing, please drop a comment here — I'll gladly prioritize it for the next weekly update!

Thank you all so much for the insane support on my previous posts!!! Let me know your thoughts, your feedback, and what section you want me to expand next.

Let's show them how evil a tomato can be! 🦎⚡

I don't play video games. League is my first moba. I play on my 12 inch macbook (at first with just a trackpad, yikes!). I stuck to the support role to play with friends on occasion but had zero game sense. I didn't know I had wards, what cooldowns where, much less what the other champions did. I basically was a team cheerleader girlfriend but did not have much fun staring at a gray screen all game.

After a few ARAMs, I learned I liked the champ Neeko and I was interested in trying the rift. For once, my combos felt intuitive to hit. I didn't really understand a lot going on around me but I knew I could turn into a minion and this opened up my world. I learned how to get deep vision, claim bush control to fool my enemies, and finally got the courage to use ignite instead of heal because I was actually killing my enemies in laning phase.

I feel very fortunate that of all the sweaty league content, Doglightning plays neeko as support and I found a friendly face to learn league from. Neeko forced me to change my keybinds so that it would be easy for me to shapeshift but also level up, ping easier, or make a clone dance (i love briar's dance but also naafarri's dogs digging in the ground its so cute!). Over time it became intuitive to use my items like rocketbelt or to dive under the turret to get kills no one else could. I planned my roam timers around minion waves and the game became a lot clearer to me once when I should fight and why.

The champ I liked because it gave me movement speed to run away became the champ I hit 5 man ults and secure objectives. I'm really happy I chose a champ that has such a unique kit! Definitely a weird way to learn league but I enjoyed the learning process.

As an update to my last post, I plan to get Cosplayer Neeko because I think she's adorable!

all the love,

A big issue I always have on neeko is that if I cancel a transform next to a minion, I first have to run away then run back to the minion to start the passive animation. For example I have a ward saved and walk over to a minion wave that’s walking to lane. I am on top of the minions and notice I have the ward cloned, so I remove it. The animation won’t start since I’m already on the minions. I have to get distance then come back.

Is there any faster way?

idk. i just had a game where i did that, and my adc just said "good job neeko". idk if i'm just overthinking it but. am i not meant to do that??? idk :[

Thank you guys for all the help in my last post. I’ve kept playing neeko SUPPORT and I tried out tank. I want to climb so should i play tank neeko or burst damage. I don’t know if I should rely on my team or not.

I started playing Neeko in support recently and found her to be very fun and a interesting character to play. I love how she has really good cc and damage. I like how she stomps early game and how i can feed my adc easily. However… when my adc is a moron and js loses the advantage instantly I feel like I can’t do anything. I was thinking playing her mid would be better, but I don’t think I can stomp as easily as in bot which leads to less fun. I do have experience laning because i used to play top and I know how to roam because of support. Should i stick to support or try mid.

hi! maybe a weird title, but... since the winter wonder and bewitching skins are seasonal-- winter and halloween specifically --will they be up for sale again in their respective months? other than beeko (and the prestige star guardians...) they're the only two i'm missing now, and i really like them. auughg........

Hello fellow tomatoes! 🍅

I finally decided to stop lurking and join the subreddit. I'm a Neeko OTP playing her in the Midlane on EUW, and last split I managed to hit GrandMaster with her!

I love this champion so much and I want to be active here to give back to the community. Feel free to drop any questions you have about matchups, builds, or mechanics in the comments—I’ll try to answer every single one! (I am also trying to answer already existing question posts here on the sub).

Also, I'm currently working on a massive, very detailed matchup spreadsheet for you guys covering how to play lv1,2,3,6, runes, sums and general laneplan, so stay tuned. See you on the Rift! 🦎✨
