The new champion in League of Legends (LoL) is Neeko. She can take on the forms of other champions and deceive her opponents. The trailer shows Neeko in action.
A new heroine is on the way for the MOBA League of Legends. First introduced with a teaser, the trailer for Neeko is now available.
What does the trailer show? The community speculated based on the 15-second teaser that the new champion can take on the form of other champions. The new trailer confirms this. The video shows the advantages of Neeko, the curious chameleon.
Throughout the video, you can see how Neeko can take on the form of other champions like Ezreal or Hecarim.
Does Neeko also take on abilities? It seems that Neeko can only visually adapt to other champions. This likely includes the appearance of automatic attacks.
What do the fans say? On Reddit, the reactions are widely divided.
- One user writes: Oh no, she is really cute!
- Others are happy that Riot makes her look more like a “monster” than a woman
Furthermore, it is said: She talks like Gnar, looks like Zoe, moves like Nidalee, has a really cool theme, has a LeBlanc clone, and I swear, she will be permabanned in the release week.
Who is Neeko? On Neeko’s lore page, RiotGames confirms that Neeko belongs to the Vastaya tribe. This tribe includes champions like Rengar and Wukong, who mix human and animal traits. She is a magician and is introduced as follows in the lore text.
Neeko comes from a long-forgotten tribe of the Vastaya and can dive into large groups by adopting the appearance of others. She can even partially absorb their emotional state to quickly distinguish friend from foe. No one can ever be sure where – or who – Neeko might be, but those who wish to harm her will soon see her true face and feel the full power of the original spirit magic being hurled at them.
What abilities does Neeko possess? The video clearly shows that Neeko can take on the form of other champions. It seems that this only works with allied champions from whom she can copy appearance. Additionally, she can fire projectiles that presumably hold enemies if they hit.
The exact abilities will soon be presented by the developers at RiotGames.
