I hope that someday soon, they'll do a rework/additional level up animation for characters - to update characters like Garen or Darius' less cool animations. Yeah it won't boost the character's play rates, but it'd still be a nice addition

[@Pedro-zh6kk]

its heartwarming hearing neeko saying brazillian words like "eba" or "ataco", and having our accent. for those who may don't know, flora paulitta is her voice actress both in english and brazillian portuguese

[@Luka-xp4mz]

She actually does say those words in League of legends. Unfortunately her voice actor (who was also Brazilian) died years ago. So in this game Neeko has new vc which also turns out to be Brazilian.

[@SrTiagob]

@@Luka-xp4mz that's not true, tho. Flora Paulita did the original Neeko's voice and that's her again. She's alive! The actor who died is the one who did de spanish version of Neeko =(

Couple years ago, the neeko's latin voice actress passed away and with LOR she got new voice, but Riot makes a homenage for her with a dialoge "Neeko will take care of your shouma, ancient voice" it makes me cry :'c

[@sallamachar9148]

What will happen if she is sent back to hand while in disguise? Become Neeko and opponent sees it? Go back as disguised card but that is still Neeko? Become Neeko but opponent sees it as disguise? Go back to hand but opponent does not see the card anymore?

[@LORdREDSTOneNR1]

It'll be revealed. The text says she's disguised until she levels or leaves play.

[@N12015]

That's a tricky question. Afaik this kind of transformation go back as their original form as we saw with Darkins, BUT that would ruin Neeko. In any case, recall mess up with Neeko and communication badly.

[@moonsy1773]

The fact that at the end of her level up animation is a reference to her actual splash art makes this reveal the best

is this her voice? i think they might have used another one since Paulita’s voice is less high-pitched and like… more of a Neeko(?!) 😂😂

[@pedropimenta896]

​@@heyimLyonthey can use filters

[@natan380]

​@@heyimLyonThe voice direction in LoR is different, since the game doesn't care much about sound cues (unlike LoL) they have more freedom to catch your attention with the voicelines. Aphelios (Alune) also "suffers" from the same problem in LoR where her voice is much higher than in LoL, even though it's the same VA.

[@IDoNotFeelCreative]

I love everything about this so much! Just one tiny concern, to be truly hidden, the animation for picking the disguise will be concealed from the opponent as well I hope? It won't be like with manifest where you get to see the back of the opponents cards? I'm sure it will be, but just to double check, cause it's so important

[@thecreepyman9751]

if people didn’t make the mistake to leak all the cards too early this would have been the biggest surprise ever (Not really bcs you can know she’s coming as seen in nidalee art but still tho)

I get it for balancing or whatever, but I wish it for champion too. I thought her entire thing was to shapeshift to anyone.

[@delfinition976]

I thought about that as well but it would be extremely strange for her to shape-shift to someone who is higher mana than her. And would be super clunky when attacking. The only option would of been if she has the pay the cost of the card she is disguising as.

[@indigo7898]

So does disguise make neeko copy the effects too? So if they disguise as lizard would that mzke them transform?

[@edgarmarques4646]

I seems like Neeko becomes an exact copy of the card you play her as, but will be secretly Neeko the whole time. When she levels, whatever you played her as will transform back into Neeko.

[@Jesse_The_Lazy]

What stops your opponent from seeing you pick what you play neeko as? Is it hidden or do they know she is disguised?

[@snatcher8517]

what's the point of disguising if they do know?

[@Jesse_The_Lazy]

@snatcher8517 to get the effects of what you transform into. She activated the day break of what she turned into. I am sure she would also get the impact and stat bonus if became the bitsy lizard and transformed it. My question is more about when you are selecting multiple cards your opponent can see that and 4 options is fairly unique outside of like 2 or 3 cards. I am not talking about them seeing WHAT you pick. I am talking about them seeing that you are picking something in general.
