Oh my god the new Neeko is what she was always meant to be. Also one thing you could do: use the clone recall to make it look like one of your teammates is recalling. That should be CRAZY strong too
Seeing you talk about the tricks gave me an idea. Since the ward shows all the time and doesn't stealth you can walk into a brush and then w in front to make it seem like you walked out but put a ward behind u in the brush. You know the usual thing you do when being chased, but instead you can juke back or even ult them when they all run past u or stop to hit. Edit: Or, you turn into someone who's relatively low and then w forward and start the b.
My current favorite thing to do in the mid game is turn into gromp specifically and help small fights. Gromp is so naturally durable that you can take a decent beating before changing back. Obviously it isnt ideal, but its silly.
I really love the Neeko update. I wish the disguising was more applicable in aram, but I _constantly_ catch people out when I disguise as a ranged minion. I just have to be against a team that doesn't have champs that instantly clear minions like a Sivir or something. I wish her high movement speed animation that she gets when you used clone wasn't as obvious, because you can't bait people in as easily. I guess it balances it self since you're encouraged to disguise into a champ that doesn't have a distinct running animation if you wanna use it effectively. Really nice when you're running away from someone into a bush, and you disguise as your Hecarim and send out a clone towards them to scare them off. Speedy Hecarim running at you is very common.
I think my favourite thing about the rework is that you can fake recall and then turn into e.g. a minion and your clone doesn't turn with you, just continues recalling. So you can be 2 things at the same time.
All of the new Neeko content I'm watching just looks so hilarious and fun. Being a minion is crazy! I was thinking about how to counter her lane gank as she runs down as a minion, and I thought about putting a Caitlyn trap in the middle of the lane but I tried Neeko in practice tool and she doesn't get affected by Caitlyn traps as a minion! I saw a Fizz ult fly harmlessly through her on a Midbeast video. I imagine you couldn't be ulted by Varus, Vi, Zed, etc, it's really strong tbh, even if they know you're there they can't engage on you first. I wonder if Karthus ult would target you if you're off somewhere disguised as something non-champion.
Funny, the first time you hit the red plant as heca you transformed back into neeko but the second time when you hit the empowered red plant (from drake) you did not turn back and kept your heca transformation
18:36 this was so damn sad. Yeah the invisiblity should have helped you live.. would rocketbelting away maybe have made you live or is Tibbers too fast when he initally spawns?
22:34 kinda crazy that it doesn't even show the baron buff when you're a minion, you can see the minions lose the buff for a split second as k'sante walks out of range and right before Pekin attacks
the fact you can switch btw AD and AP is crazy.... if your team is missing one, you can just adjust.... I'm currently learning AD Neeko on mid basically stunning and killing enemies with my autoattack is super fan :D especially when you pretend to be minion and they don't catch up on that on time :D
I don't even play league but here's an idea on how to use the ward disguise: Transform yourself as a pink ward and stand very close to a bush to seem like a misplaced pink ward. Enemies can approach you to clear you that way. Question: can you transform to something if your clone is recalling?
Yeah, I think there already was an explanation, if I remember right from T1, about how camping lanes is broken and how the jungle doesn't get punished nearly enough for losing time camping lanes. So it just feels bad.
tibbers ignores the stealth because he's doing aoe damage with immolate and when you get a tick of the damage from it, he has vision. Or something like that
13:31 Probably because you were about to take tower aggro as a minion. But the tower isn't supposed to target you until all the minions die. It's probably a failsafe to keep the game from crashing or something.
13:44 the reason why you transformed back is because the minion u cloned died. Its part of the rework if the thing u clone dies (i think its only for minions) you transform back
When you hit the blast cone early in the video, it transforms you back into Neeko. However later when the chemtech map is on, hitting the big blast cones doesn't. Weird
players with the Blitz overlay will see you regardless in what you transform, there is a feature where the Gold difference is on top of the player this also sticks when neeko transforms...
Couldnt he rocketbelt away from Tibbers? xD i feel like the Rocketbelt is not that necessary, maybe a runepage with cosmic insight and lucidities cause you did many flash plays
There was soo many buffs to neeko, lots of them not obvious like w spawning ontop of her now and the dmg not removing passive. Dunno how she has a lower wr, id imagine lots of people trying her and failing but even then... Although probably lots of people inting with her passive and people also remember neekos abts now. Also her dmg isnt that nerfed, it is on the r and i think e base dmg. but q and e get a better ratio now.
The only thing I can think of as to why you kept transforming back, is that Riot made it so if you deal damage to anything that isn't a minion you transform back? But I'm not sure
Being a melee minion also gives you like 1.3 attack speed, and at the early levels it makes farming minons super fast
it also makes you an easy target with no range lol
@@GodsHumbleHacker sacrifices must be made for the overall net gain
@@JDReC100 the net gain of having fun and making content
@@akibchoudhury7507 you keep your own damage. It just looks like you have the same dmg as a minion.

Kaisa’s reaction to that minion disguise was hilarious 😂
Haha, it’s true though if you see more minions than normal you just know neeko is there and all you can do is scream 😂🫡
Damn Pekin you hittin the town tonight? Looking fly with the flamingo polo

They changed it so that neeko transform back if she hits a turret so she can't splitpush while being hidden
lameee that was pog af
boring
well that's at least fair to say understandable 😂
you just dismantle a bel'veth calmly and sincerely say "she might have been able to kill me if she hit her abilities"
14:48 the kai‘sa chatting made me laugh so hard

5:41 They made it so speed's not affected IF the champ you're turning into is faster than Neeko.
I was just getting really confused by this since around the 17 minute mark he turned into Ashe and his move speed got slower.
13:30 when you hit a tower as a non champion you turn back into neeko
Ah that makes sense as a change from when I tried of PBE. Losing towers while being unaware Neeko is side lane would be busted

now that she has jungle ratios/jungle damage, you should try neeko jungle for kirby with hair
I'd love to see more Neeko high Elo!
Great neeko video. Always good to see fun league of legends videos, especially mid lane.
love the challenger content. can't wait for you to get there
That Hecarim is nuts, the play on herald was amazing
always makes me happy watching a belveth get dumpstered
My sadness at not having Bewitching Neeko as a Neeko main is immense. Excited to watch though!
Really enjoy neeko vids thanks pekin
new neeko makes some funky plays, love to see these games
2:05
Wait, really? All this time I was calling Q pop blossom and R blooming burst
...tbh, Q should be pop blossom. It even makes popping sounds!
if u turn into a normal stealth ward can the enemies see u? or will u be invisible to them like a normal ward would?
I do it at one point near rift, you turn into a Ghost Ward (1 hp and they see you)
@@PekinWoof damn thanks for the quick reply! i probably shouldn’t have commented while watching the video lol
Funny, the first time you hit the red plant as heca you transformed back into neeko but the second time when you hit the empowered red plant (from drake) you did not turn back and kept your heca transformation
I think as he said the normal blastcone counts as crowd control whereas the chemtech blastcones don’t
@@holyreputaytionmashups1797 seems like that is the case ye😅 learned something now today again🤝🏻
thank u for the very thorough commentary! more neeko videos!
18:36 this was so damn sad. Yeah the invisiblity should have helped you live.. would rocketbelting away maybe have made you live or is Tibbers too fast when he initally spawns?
22:34 kinda crazy that it doesn't even show the baron buff when you're a minion, you can see the minions lose the buff for a split second as k'sante walks out of range and right before Pekin attacks
Wowsers a Pekin woof video! 😮
that was crazy. i love neeko and am so happy with her fixes
This is the day Neeko gameplay has blessed me!
ur using the clone so much better this time around! fooling em every time! :D
That comment in the chat about kenvi was savage 😂
the fact you can switch btw AD and AP is crazy.... if your team is missing one, you can just adjust.... I'm currently learning AD Neeko on mid basically stunning and killing enemies with my autoattack is super fan :D especially when you pretend to be minion and they don't catch up on that on time :D
I wish there was a timecode where he shows his runes, I lost the part where he showed them and I'm not finding it anymore
What about using minion dematerializer I think is the name? And then turning into the minion you removed? That way there is no 4th
Great video! Do senna mid next please!!
New neeko is so fun haha, I'm so glad they went with it

Riot have really been hitting the nail on the head with their champion design and rework choices lately.
Yeah, I think there already was an explanation, if I remember right from T1, about how camping lanes is broken and how the jungle doesn't get punished nearly enough for losing time camping lanes. So it just feels bad.
I haven't tried it, but thought of this. You recall as the clone and walk up as a minion, should work fine
Sheeeesh, looking kinda flamboyant with that shirt, Mr. Pekin, may I ask where u got it?
If you turn into a green ward do you become invisible?
New neeko is so crazy
How does AD Neeko feels rn? Have u tried it with the rework?
What are the death cap buffs?
6:30 absolutely jebaited, beautiful
13:31 guess tower reveal the disguise like it does to invisible champions
gl on the climb!
tibbers ignores the stealth because he's doing aoe damage with immolate and when you get a tick of the damage from it, he has vision.
Or something like that
13:31
Probably because you were about to take tower aggro as a minion. But the tower isn't supposed to target you until all the minions die. It's probably a failsafe to keep the game from crashing or something.
This was awesome ❤
Would enjoy seeing you play Kled mid sometime!
Perfect Neeko showcase
21:26 triple Hecarim into Hecarim triple
her win rate rn is pretty bad because people keep just becoming jungle camps and messin around LOL
Impressed? Impressed! ❤
Fya just bought a Neeko poster for my friend who is a Neeko mid love the content keep it up forget abo ur those analytics
Unfortunately they removed the attack speed/movement speed when you transformed if it is higher than base. But I'm loving the new neeko gameplay
13:44 the reason why you transformed back is because the minion u cloned died. Its part of the rework if the thing u clone dies (i think its only for minions) you transform back
Pekin looking fresh
Love the vids!
That play was insane
When you hit the blast cone early in the video, it transforms you back into Neeko. However later when the chemtech map is on, hitting the big blast cones doesn't. Weird
You are a menace!
🤘
hiting tower also reveals you, they added after the pbe
Wait! There will be deathcap changes?! Also, Pekin is a strong tomato
i see new pekin vid, i pog
players with the Blitz overlay will see you regardless in what you transform, there is a feature where the Gold difference is on top of the player this also sticks when neeko transforms...
Dang the clone base thing is kinda op, esp if u clone someone on your team thats fed ppl will prob waste ults and sums to kill u
Hitting towers transforms you back so you cant secretly take towers as a minion.
Couldnt he rocketbelt away from Tibbers? xD i feel like the Rocketbelt is not that necessary, maybe a runepage with cosmic insight and lucidities cause you did many flash plays
I think tibers might get a aura hit on you, becasue he was in melee range, as you turn stealthed which is why he knows where you are.
Yayy new video
Love the new neeko.
the shit is insaaane
Love her new update!!❤

Tibbers doesn't need to see you. He can smell the FEAR
Great vid
