Counter Picks to Beat Neeko Support
Neeko Support Counter Guide
When laning against Neeko, maintain maximum distance and position opposite to her side of the lane to avoid her abilities, especially her E (root). Stay away from minion waves, as her root duration increases when passing through them.
Key Power Spikes:
- Level 2: Short burst trades with Q + E combination
- Level 6: Ultimate (R) adds significant kill pressure
- Team fights: Strong AOE damage and CC potential
Counter Strategy:
- Disengage immediately when Neeko approaches with Ultimate
- Ward bushes and flanks during objective sieges
- Maintain spread positioning in team fights to minimize Ultimate impact
- Back off when low health if her Ultimate is available
Strong Counter Picks:
- Zilean
- Poppy
- Sona
- Zyra
- Janna
Weak Against Neeko:
- Yuumi
- Nami
- Sylas
- LeBlanc
- Lulu
Tips for Success:
- Use disengage abilities when she walks forward
- Watch for deceptive plays using her Passive and W
- Keep track of her Ultimate cooldown
- Position away from minion waves to avoid extended root duration
- Consider early Mercury Treads for CC reduction
Remember that Neeko excels at team fight engagement with her Ultimate. Maintain vision control and coordinate with your team to counter her engage attempts.
