Just me or doesnt the "smoldering" part of the destruction sound like another world rune? We dont know IF someone found one or WHAT happened, but one world rune would make sense. Also the "Pale Trees" could mean the Patricite Trees where Ryze keeps the other world runes so that would make the connection. Another thing is, that the Oovi'Kat might be able to be revived with another world rune / the destruction could be reverted, so that would make sense to seek the World runes in the forest of pale trees. And as far as i have seen, she has no special interaction with any patricite related champ, so that might be a problem but i can still see it beeing possible.

[@SenetAsylum]

The whole Vastaya and Vastayashai'rei thing I feel is reinforced by the fact when Neeko mimics a Vastaya, She says they feel similar but faded, which would is the whole belief that Vastayashai'rei were faded out after humans were introduced into the tree. Also for the 5th Champion, considering the interactions she has with Taliyah and the way she wants her to "Show her more of the world." Could be she met up with Taliyah along her travels and as we don't know the time this was set, it could be before Bloodline or when she arrived at The Capital. And since Neeko possibly landed near Shurima, this could be possible. (EDIT: There is the other quote with Tali saying about how she isn't the only one who changes, I feel this is pointed towards Tali's arc as a person and character with learning more of the world and her power, but this might lead to something deeper. Again, I'm very bias.) Some speculation and bias as Taliyah is just amazing and I want to know more but some brain food for anyone interested.

@@QtPieMarth I didn't think about that at all, really nicely done :D I see the connection but sadly I feel that isn't the case cause where Taliyah 'rocks' the Freljord tag on her skin being part of story about getting back to Shurima, Neeko's is Winter Wonderland which sadly I believe that'll be unrelated as that's in the Winter Wonderland "Universe" so to say even if the themes are exactly the same, but it's a connection I didn't make, really nice observation

[@SangoProductions213]

Actually, low elo is probably one of the least effective places for Neeko. Down there, people don't really predict what people will do, and thus pretending to be a melee champion isn't going to make them act much differently unless your copy is low health. Also, the Neeko's proficiency with trickery and game sense is probably not going to be helpful. High elo, the Neekos will be better, but the enemies will probably be able to factor in the chance of her showing up, the same as any other champ. It's the mid elo in high silver - low plat where she will shine. Where people are just good enough to react improperly to her deceptions, but not good enough to factor in the chance of deception.

[@zhangbill1194]

I am pretty sure that anyone with map awareness will see that Neeko is missing and the person they fight might not be who they think they are. Also because they might think someone might be Neeko they might be more careful while fighting.

This quote makes me most curious of Neeko. Who is they? Why is she scared of them? It might be a very important part of her lore.

[@umuhhh5020]

“Neeko does not want to be here, when the others arrive.” What's about this

[@lesterthemolester814]

Hi. I have a few quesgtons. First of all, if Neeko's island truly got destroyed by lava, could the reason to it not being on the maps mean that it's completely gone? If I remember correctly, there was a volcano in ancient Greece that exploded, destroying half an island. Second of all, if it really was Nagaekebouros who revived Pyke, what woukd the achieve with a murderous psychopath?

[@QtPieMarth]

Mmmmmmm someone correct me if I’m wrong please, BUT I’m pretty sure there’s some mention somewhere, maybe in Pyke and Illaoi’s interactions or the like where it’s stated that it wasn’t Nagakabouros who resurrected Pyke. I really want to say that Riot either mentioned it themselves later on or it’s in the voice lines.

[@QtPieMarth]

However, assuming I’m wrong and playing off the idea of Nagakabouros being the one to save Pyke, I have some thoughts. Regardless of the being Pyke was saved/resurrected by’s origin/motives, I think it’s pretty safe to say they would have some sort of control, no matter how minor, over Pyke. I mean, they literally changed his form into a different being and gave him non-human abilities. I don’t think it’s too far fetched to say that a being capable of such things would retain at least a minor amount of control over Pyke, even if it was just placing thoughts/motivations into his head whilst he was being transformed. That could be anything from adding name(s) to his list or even the entire inception of the list itself. Pyke could be anything from someone let loose with a task planted in his head to an unknowing pawn of some greater power, regardless of the source being Nagakabouros or not. Just some tired, hastily typed out on my phone with little to no editing so don’t mind me if it’s a complete mess 😅

[@jacob6071]

I've actually been wanting to see a champ with a mimic mechanic for some time now. This may be personal opinion from the word use in the lore page, but I think that it is correct to call her vastayan rather than vastayashai'rei: the island was largely unknown, not completely unknown; her tribe was already vastayan before isolating themselves ("the last members of an ancient vastayan tribe remained isolated").

But Zoe likes Ezreal

[@Sanguiris]

@@ciello1195 Neeko can transform into Ezreal ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[@ShardWintreswolf]

Short thought: isn't it possible that Neeko's tribe believe they are Vastaya Shai'rei, but there was some form of human mixing in their bloodline, perhaps just less than usual, or farther back in time? That would make her Vastaya, but may not know it.

[@hox9941]

she knows the light in taric couse shes also homosexual

[@abentevent]

I think there's deeper meaning their. Could neeko be an aspect and not understand it?

[@lightmaster3353]

@@abentevent She just points out that both of them have a kind heart

[@carpettoaster]

Evelynn is so... Extreme! Neeko curious...

[@KontroKat]

What I find amusing about Neeko is that she feels like she was made to please the LGBT part of the LoL community, specifically the female side. However it also feels like a gigantic stab at the SJW part of that fanbase too. I'm wildly amused by this, it's clever while being just subtle enough to keep that part of the community from roaring as usual.

[@Nevermind445]

"the light in me knows the light in taric" is her way of saying she s as gay as him

[@parazitul1986]

I feel like riot focused on promoting more left propaganda than giving us some lore this time!

[@ChesterZirawin]

@WaffleDragon well they recently released the rioters coming out video and now a lesbian champ, i got no problem with that but its kinda odd, why does everything need gays now, Dumbledore is gay...Tracer is gay...Neeko is gay, etc...

[@parazitul1986]

@WaffleDragon No. The fact that half of her lines are just "I'm gay" stuff. Just go and watch the video, you will realise it too.

[@StinkerJon]

I mean is there a problem with all the women’s sexual innuendos in the game or is it the fact it’s a homosexual champion? Literally has no impact on the game goes to show how immature and childish some Players are lmao

[@ChesterZirawin]

@@StinkerJon nah bruw, the sexual stuff is there to "sell" the game since most of the players are male anyways, sex sells bud, its old news, same thing how they added Lucian, it was "monumental" since he was the first black character and ppl were making a big deal out of it even tho nobody actually cares, they had Asian characters in the game for a long time but ppl were still complaining that there were no black ones, it just goes to show that ppl will always find something to complain about

EliteKillers karma was 1st but k

[@SneakiTomatox]

My problem is I’ve read the Elixir of Uloa story about five times over and no mention of 1:08-1:11 was ever stated in the story itself.

[@goodsirsepsis8152]

12:22 3 hit passive means stacks Neeko has stacks Vayne has stacks Neeko has stacks AND stealth Vayne has stacks AND stealth Vayne is an Adc Neeko is an Adc ADC Neeko confirmed BOIS

[@katastrofygames]

One more thing but is her mission to bring more color back to the trees the same mission as Xayah’s who wants to return magic to nature? (Remember what happened to the trees and forest in Ionia when Xayah and Rakaan fought Zed?)

[@pandabear9541]

something obvious like the fact that the aspects of targon might be spirits that someone as in touch with the spirit realm as neeko is might recognize?

[@AjayyHatake]

i love your new video style lol

[@RatComedenti]

Flashbacks to a enemy morphling with our adcs full build (btw its just a more limited morphling aka og shapeshifter of mobas)

[@tomseltzer8674]

I feel like the taric interaction shows the neeko wants him in her group of good hearted people

[@victorbourguignon6897]

She also says she doesnt want too be there when they come, perhaps speaking about the void or something else.

[@jordanpou9484]

Her quote towards Taric could be that she knows that Taric is hosting an Aspect.

[@thonex8787]

Necrit there is another hint in game that Neeko is not a Vestaya but a Vestayasheray, changing into Nami Neeko sais "feels same, almost like Neeko but Faded" which could refere to the Vestaya being a mix with humans

[@xFlPr0z]

4:20 almost get me in trouble im on a headset and many people near me, they might think something sht xD

[@z0uitin0seamine24]

Maybe the light that she's talking about whit taric is the desire to protect and save others cause they are both seeking the same thing

[@HelFuushun]

So I just watched your video on Orianna's story and it mentions how she would watch plays about heroes (one of them mentions Ryze's story). This is not very relevant but it also mentions the story of a maiden who lived in the jungle and transformed into a rock to hide (or something like that). I guess Riot was already thinking of some kind of "Neeko" two years ago.

[@MegaBendex]

Taric is the aspect of life right? The guardian of everything beautiful and wonderful about the world? I think Neeko just means that she, in her curiosity and her love to discover everything new about the world, exalts everything that Taric does. They are kindred spirits.

[@TwashRat]

Well, you say Ezrael was probably just high when seeing himself, but he was very recent, and he was the one Neeko first cloned in the trailer, so I'm convinced it was a hint towards that. His field notes make me happy

[@TwashRat]

Also, his note there was in the east near a few unlabeled islands
