Neeko Support: analysis & win conditions

patch 16.17 · data-driven

Neeko is an AP mage in the support, and on patch 16.17 they grade out as a solid mid-tier pick — a 50.2% win rate, 1.5% pick rate, 17,492 ranked games sampled. On the power curve, Neeko spikes hardest in the mid game around the two-to-three-item mark — that is the window to force fights and objectives.

How Neeko wins: grouped 5-v-5 teamfights, where Neeko tips the fight, and landing engage and starting fights on Neeko's terms. The kit grades 8/10 teamfighting, 7/10 engage. Neeko's soft spots are disengage and split-push (3/10, 2/10) — avoid fights that hinge on them.

The most-played core build is Zaz'Zak's Realmspike, Hextech Rocketbelt, Zhonya's Hourglass, which holds a 49.9% win rate across 2,386 games this patch. The build above re-optimizes once you lock in the enemy composition.
