Neeko trolls even more after midscope update

One of League of Legends’ most exceptional yet least-played champions will get a whole host of changes that will make her an even more tricky opponent.

The long-awaited mid-scope update for Neeko is finally live on the PBE server. Not only does it change the damage ratio of almost all of her skills, but it also gives her many new effects designed to take advantage of her playful yet tricky nature.

We’ve summarized the changes to Neeko for you here!

Neeko can transform even better now

While it’s not clear when this minor Neeko overhaul will make its way from the PBE to the live servers, it’s likely that it will make the testing phase may be completed in time for the release of patch 13.9 on May 3rd or patch 13.10 on May 17th. 

When Neeko’s mid-scope update was first announced last year, Riot revealed that they plan to take the curious Chameleon’s stealth abilities a step further, allowing her to transform into plants, minions, and more; all in addition to her passive, which originally only allowed her to morph into allied champions until she took damage.

When standing next to one of these units, Neeko gains an Appearance Charge which she can access in her Passive Bar to transform at will.

Neeko gets buffed!

Neeko’s camouflage fantasies have been expanded even further by maintaining her transformation through her passive at all times. She only loses it when the life points of that transformation are depleted, when she becomes crowd controlled, or when she uses a skill. Her passive can now also trigger every six seconds.

Also, Neeko is now able to easily control the direction her clone moves when she casts her W, similar to LeBlanc’s Passive. The controls are rather modest though and still flag after a few seconds, although players should now have a bit more leeway to trick their opponents into thinking that Neeko is their clone or vice versa.
