Neeko is a champion released during patch 8.24. She is predominantly played in the middle lane as a burst mage. Even if her base hp is pretty low, she has a lot of damage output. Most champions have a phase during which they are extremely strong. Akali after she reaches level six. Her combos can easily beat almost any champion if used correctly. Neeko on the other hand is strong basically through the entire game. The moment you start the game you can choose her Q or E.

Both of her starter moves are extremely strong. They reduce the health of the enemy champion to 75% (depends on the champion, but in this case Neeko will probably fight against other mages or assassins). Her Q can be used for basic crowd control. Her E is extremely powerful if it hits the enemy champion. If she uses it in the middle of a team fight, the ally champions can easily decimate the champion targeted due to the root.

Her W and her passive are more psychological attacks than in game attacks. Both infuriate the enemy player, forcing them to make wrong moves.

But her main source of damage is her Ultimate or R. She deals a lot of damage across a huge area. She can easily decimate enemy champions. Unlike Gallio’s ultimate, which cannot be moved after targeting, Neeko can still move after her ultimate is cast. She could easily move in the entire team with a flash after casting it.

She is champion that has extremely strong early game with her E and Q. She is good at mid game with her W and passive and she is almost unstoppable during the end game due to her ultimate.

She may be hard to use in the hands of low level player, but when high skilled players like Faker and Caps use her, they will be unstoppable. Therefore, in my opinion she needs a huge nerf on her ultimate, Q and E. If not nerfed, she will probably never be used in competitive play.
