Neeko is BEST DECISION... but could've been even BETTER || Casual Champion Review

[@x-nimator9997]

A little sad yet wholesome fact: in latinamerica, neeko's original voice actress unfortunately passed away in 2020, so when riot brought neeko to lor last year, they put a special interaction where the new voice actress, as neeko, says: "i will keep your sho 'ma alive" :')

[@SarahXros]

Heyo, Brazilian here too, uh... U sure that's a reference? She says that ingame (League) "Neeko vai manter seu sho'ma vivo..." and well, the voice actress was the original...

[@MrLif3]

It was in LoR an i believe it was a exclusive line for LATAM

[@noodlesandeggs1512]

To me, while the design at 9:14 looks brilliant and fixes Neeko’s issue with looking too human, I think that her human face makes her more appealing and relatable. It’s also not a basic Ahri, MF, Ashe anime girl face either she has more chubby cheeks and smaller nose and mouth. Also I can’t really imagine skins like Star Guardian or Shan Hi Scrolls working as well without the human features. I think it’s a worthy trade off.

Personally, I adore Neeko’s design She is simply the best. As a character, she is one of the few champs that makes me happy playing as, with, or against her

[@GarnetDust24]

I’ll never forgive her for doing Leblanc better than Leblanc

[@nenkoso]

my favorite detail about Neeko is that her voice actor, Flora Paulita, is Brazilian and also voices her in the Portuguese dub. It's such a cool achievement since you don't see much Brazilians in international dubs (specially for Brazilian characters ironically). Neeko will always be Brazilian in my heart 🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Dumah36]

"How many caster minions are there?" One Two Three NEEKO!!!!

[@ThyFloorestFloor]

The day Neeko came to LoR I was so happy I did one of those fangirl squeals. My favorite champion vibes-wise

[@LeGruvo44]

Neeko was my first main when I started playing League, and to this day she remains my all-time favorite champion in the game. Her gameplay is simple, but with an cool complexity in the form of her passive, which encourages you to make silly, fun and creative plays, and I adore that. Plus, her interactions are very adorable and cheerful, without getting to the point of being annoying to listen to. But also they make me a bit melancholy, 'cause her voice actress in Latam, Andrea Arruti, sadly passed away a couple years ago due to asthma. In LoR, ​​they even gave Neeko an additional interaction in memory of Andrea: "Neeko will take care of your sho'ma, old voice". I can recognize that her design, lore and some aspects of her gameplay are not the best, but that doesn't take away from the great appreciation I have for the one and only strong tomato of LoL 🍅❤.

[@Nicolas72617]

My headcannon has Neeko's tribe wiped off by the original ruination, and in that sense she could have been the one getting corrupted by Viego and Nidalee the one joining the Centinels of light. But also then I remember how bad that event was and I'm glad they kept Neeko away from it

[@kidontheinternet8107]

11:32 “This is fine” Hard cut to grey screen I love the editing man

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

Neeko is precious and her shapeshifting buff she got makes her a lot more fun to fool around with but man does she do insane damage that its kind of annoying in game.

[@dark_fusion1288]

My favourite thing to do with this champ, is W then ctrl 1 twice, to have two helicoptering neekos.

[@ShiftlessAssassin]

For the past few weeks I have been having so much fun building her on-hit top lane.

[@rainestorm7777]

My favorite champ of all time, nothing will ever replace her. Sad times that I didn’t get to do art for this week though 😭

[@Agus7531]

I know Nicky is not a fan of Neeko of being more human than vastaya, but honestly I like it. For me it make sense cuz if she is one of the most ancient vastayan race but is at the same time so away that it make sense she has human characteristics, that's one of the reasons why average vastayas are so human

[@MrIljuha2000]

...what? They have human characteristics because they had offsprings with humans Vastayashaireis have the least amount of reasons to look like ones

[@phoenixflamegames1]

@@MrIljuha2000yeah if anything, Neeko should look less human than vastaya

[@backalleygrave]

Personally, I adore Neeko design for thr fact that while she is still human-ish, its not anatomically correct enough to be considered a ahri human like concept, her concept art does her more justice on showing the weirdly long neck where her hair covers up those weird gimmicks just like kindred and the round chameleon like eyes thats a bit too large on her face yet it gives off that other world creaturely aura vibes that sets her apart from other human like vastayan champs which I adore so much and thats why shes my main 🫶🏽 but my only wish is that riot actually makes a clear guide on what is a vastayan and what is a half vastayan cause sometime i look at sett and think like wait, technically vastayans are half as well cause theyre mixed with humans so is he a half-half-quarter vastayan...? I be comfused sometimes and i read his lore and champ insight still itching my brain ( btw riot those are not wolverine ears u put on sett 😭 ), I love the concept of vastayans so much, theyre my favorite race but lord I want more beastly ones so badly.

I am a fan of turning into gromp or a buff & hiding in it's spawn placement. Most junglers won't see that the camp marker is gone in the minimap while Neeko is in it's spot.

[@coffee0093]

valid point tbh. she's pretty junglecoded flavour-wise. why no neeko yonkel riot

[@Gentleman_33]

Take a shot every time Nicky says "gremlin creature"

[@umomo1947]

another thing to note is that Neeko is getting ganked in any cinematic she's ever been in

[@phoenixflamegames1]

Neeko’s voicelines always cheer me up, even if I am losing. That’s a great quality in this game😅

[@Citrisus]

What a satisfying video, we get too see neeko and nickyboi gets to bully a Katarina 👏 4:38

[@suchalem6686]

Been waiting for this once since Neeko is my absolute favorite. On launch, her disguise broke if you, the Neeko, autoattacked, which was really cringe. While I still loved old Neeko, she didn't really have a passive and I was always hoping that some day she wouldn't feel like I had to work so much harder to do well with her. While I was initially scared for the midscope, I think they did a great job with it and she finally feels complete. Design wise, I absolutely love her and really don't care about her being missed potential in terms of monster characters. She's one of the only female champs who has a unique face, and she's absolutely adorable. She's colorful, nimble, silly, cute, my main since she released, and my absolute favorite champion with no exceptions. Her releasing not long after K/DA made me realize I was a lesbian too!

[@rcbinchicken]

*lizardy high five*

[@totalcreepyotaku7387]

Neekos probably my favorite mid laner, just cuz she feels more fair and fun than Lux. (Imo) I also find Neeko interesting in general, shes not annoying or overbearing with her voicelines, and her emotes are very funny. The whole copy ability is also super fun, good for early game to throw someone off for like 3 seconds or just mess around with camps. We love the weird lizard lady

[@naomhangreaney1255]

While i absolutely hate lux because of her personality ive always found neeko sound charming and fun. Its just an added benefit to run out of jungle as murk wolves to mawl the support before fleeing

[@ΚωννοςΘανάσκο]

I once had a teammate in aram disguise as a minion and sneek behind enemy lines to kill their nexus. We just held the enemy team off and he won the game for us. !0/10 gameplay after the mid-scope

[@rcbinchicken]

The best of all possible victories. Only thing that could possibly make that better would be the whole team on voice comms ardently blowing the MGS theme on kazoos

[@violetscarlett4488]

I actually get to know about lol because of the video that was all about "neeko is lesbian" with all the reaction of the community. From that video I have always loved this strong tomato. I'm so glad hearing that you have good thoughs on her

[@KINGOFTHESPARKS755]

Always fun to watch nicky be unironically very good lmao

[@valentinpenca9936]

god i love these casual reviews

[@MrCollead]

Turning into minions is great, but the 1000 iq play is turning into wards. You start by placing control wards in the middle of the lane, letting them die, let your opponent laugh. Then next time, *you* are the ward. Now, every time they see a control ward in the open, they are gun shy. Best feeling ever.

[@xobrynn90]

This came at the perfect time, I just started playing her again and im having so much fun

[@imanorange8627]

[@irishurbadlmao]

holy crap lois uploaded 9 seconds ago is crazy

[@reipolhopolar]

if neeko comes from the base of the Vastaya branch, isnt she the closest from the time they were human?

[@vicast-lz2ej]

Did you know that transforming into monsters as Neeko actually does have a competitive purpose? It's true! if your opponent uses wards and checks their mini map regularly you can throw them off by transforming into monsters as they show up less on the map. the smallest monsters (tiny chickens, mini kugs and small wolves) don't even show up at all so you can trade some speed for a higher chance of not being noticed when moving through the jungle/ganking :)

[@snoovian7951]

[@xander1335]

0w0 i waited for neeko for so long! Yippie!!!

[@rcbinchicken]

Neeko best girl. I quit LoL a few months ago and that lil gay lizard face is one of the few champs I really miss. The rework was beyond goated - it enabled so much comedy for more competent players, and even a 3-braincell wood-division-except-not-even-funny player like me could occasionally catch people out with an extra minion in ARAMs and press the funny gameplay button on them. I think Nicky's criticisms (of Rito choosing 'waifu' over 'truly weird critter') are valid, but I love her so much. Maybe I'll do some fanart with design tweaks and see how weird I can make her without losing the waifu-ness... 😍

[@nerdwarp112]

I really like Neeko, even if I’m really bad at ulting at the right time. I remember she had released during a time when I was on a bit of a break from playing League and I just remember seeing an article saying something along the lines of “League of Legends’ Newest Champion is a Lesbian Lizard,” which is pretty funny in hindsight.

[@jerryhook5906]

Completely ignoring the phenomena where there can be species that look similar without being closely genetically related to each other. That does happen in real life. Besides, Neeko has plenty of chameleon features: crests on her head, spines along her tail, scales, reptilian eyes.

[@blakesummers3764]

Lesbian Lizard Squad rise up!

[@HarpE-girl]

I adore Neekos gameplay so much but it's dragged back once you begin to notice things like at 5:55 with Urgot Knees not showing the VFX, There's so many instances where her fantasy fails because oh Eldrer Dragon VFX shows through my disguise. Or let me run away but oh no I didn't apply an invisible buff to this minion before I stored it's Sho'ma. SO Now when I press W my Clone will show Comet, Red Buff, and w/e else VFX while I won't. A more extreme example is Lulu. If you disguise as an Ally Lulu your Pix is based on your Skin ID. So if you play Street Demon Neeko with the Rose Quartz Chroma your pix will be Space Groove Disco Chroma. However your clones pix will be based on Lulus skin ID so your pix will always be wrong meanwhile your clones will be right. She easily breaks 200 bugs and I do hate that the list only seems to get bigger. Even mentioning skins Shan Hai Scrolls the Passive VFX either broke or never got finsihed since when you finish storing a unit it'll revert to base skins VFX. All Star Guardian Skins for years had a bug where if you pressed W as you gained Homeguards you'd permanently apply the Homeguards Wing VFX to Neeko. Cosplayer Neeko has inconsistent VFX on Emotes and on R. Winter Wonder passive changes when you finsih storing and is the only skin to do so to that degree. Street Demon calls on the wrong file to play Heart VFX while turning into Nidalee causing it not to play. I love this champion but when I do have to randomly fear that a Shyvana in Dragon Form who E'd me can't ever AA me while the mark is active since it will deal 100x damage if I'm a non-Champion when E hit. It gets a bit tiring.

[@ilsu2178]

I think that's why i like Street Demon Neeko so much, cause despite the clothes, the green skin makes her look more animalistic

[@Amamiyacasual]

Playing Neeko trying to get a kill as a minion is peak gameplay.

[@ofanichan]

Neeko was the first champion released after I lost my computer, so I completely missed out most of her history, but now that I have played her, she’s a bit too hard for me to play lmao. But she’s cool! Woo gays, gay it up!

[@slowfie]

Never been this early before, LOVE NEEKOOO

[@_bubiel_]

[@relightrobot1543]

Counting minions is exactly why I hate playing against Neeko. Just not a very enjoyable thing to do every single wave and not like it is particularly hard to counter, just annoying. I like everything about her outside of this and the champion disguises.
