Clones are annoying, but honestly I have never seen an in game example of someone exploiting them, it's too niche. | ||

Love the Caitlyn ult buff. Played with a Caitlyn mid a week or two ago that rushed Ghostblade+CDR boots and just ulted their ADC on cooldown and ran back to her lane, it was hilarious and must have been so tilt inducing. | ||

She's seeing a lot of play in KeSPA right now, so pros obviously see something in her. ulted their ADC on cooldown and ran back to her lane I want to try this out. | ||

But she is about as anti fun as it gets to play against for a low ranged or melee champion, because her abilities are practically impossible to dodge, and that ult lol. And if you play a champion that can dodge, most likely your CD are longer and more expensive than hers, so it kind of works in her favour anyway. Only good thing is that assassins destroy her, but only Pyke fits that role in the bot lane. Clones are annoying, but honestly I have never seen an in game example of someone exploiting them, it's too niche. As a jungler, I dont think its niche at all. Its colours basically every interaction you have with every champion in the whole game. MFW when the hard int ADC with 100 HP and no sums that for some reason is still under their bot tower after having a chance to back and leaving vision is actually a Neeko with full HP that Ult+Roots you for ages... X_X And once you been killed by it once, you get mindfucked forever more. Every time you see someone inting you subconsciously think its a Neeko baiting the shit out of you and that you can't kill it. Even if you get over it and figure it out, it adds hesitation. Super super strong, makes it hard to punish mistakes because your window to make a play is cut drastically by the time it takes to process if that is or isn't Neeko, like even if you see her on the other side of the map or something. | ||

Really? I felt like she just has a good abilities set and the chameleon thing is mostly cosmetics with some usefulness in it from time to time | ||

X_X Oh come on, that's like the most obvious bait ever  . In reality, those situations are pretty avoidable and the cases where it causes justified confusion are super rare, that is what I mean by niche. Ex: Riot's showcase had Renekton walk into a brush, and Neeko coming out, I've never seen this interaction exploited in soloQ. | ||

Always considered Cait's rank 1 ult almost useless, but now I'm worried it might be too strong. It has to be extremely frustrating to be constantly poked with her long range autos and point and click ultimates. | ||

When I'm trying to climb usually i just auto assume everyone is inting and not baiting and usually i legit hard stomp. People do a lot of dumb shit just waiting for you to poop on them. Hoping almost. | ||

Then it happend again and again and again and again and we never saw the "?" again. I swear, it seems like it have no cooldown when she has 20% CDR (might have been even more, didn't see if she had any of the CDR or ultimate runes). Would imagine it being even worse for the mid if it came from bot to mid constantly since midlaners usually have very high kill threat at 6+.

Ex: Riot's showcase had Renekton walk into a brush, and Neeko coming out, I've never seen this interaction exploited in soloQ.I had a game where our Neeko backed at same time we did and told me to delay coming to lane so she could pretend to be me (support) for the sneak gank. Sadly they didn't fall for it, but it was a cute idea.  EDIT: Now that I think about it, Neeko with a premade support sounds mega fun. Pick a mage "support", Morg/Brand/Xerath, and switch them between mid and support when the "mid" goes "support" first time pick up Spellthief. Against Neeko you dont want to stand behind minions, again the three you want to stand behind minions. | ||

Hoping almost. I do actually because I didn't play ranked almost all last season, went on a massive losing streak and am sitting in G1/P5. Games are fiestas, but ironically people seem to never fall for the things that actually seem to require brain power. Against Neeko you dont want to stand behind minions, again the three you want to stand behind minions. Yes, I think there's lots of stuff to exploit, especially in premades and pro play, but not in soloQ. | ||

Since tomorrow isn't an exciting game, I'll be clicking through Demacia Cup, nothing like seeing some good CN bloodbath. | ||
