I personally enjoy the passive change, as it adds a lot of fun to the character that she was missing, but I think maybe it was too much. I also had really bad times fighting her but I've had really good times playing her. I'm kind of torn, but I think maybe the passive deserves nerfs?? It just adds more you need to be catious of and I think that constantly worrying if Neeko is a minion or a ward just adds too much to be worrying about constantly for us non-pro players, especially as it's something you can't ward for or outplay, it's always just a guess.

Her ganking/roamimg is SO good as jungle or support, because if she turns into something, she wont pop up on the mini-map, which could be really unfun and just something you need to watch out for.

The only nerfs we've kind of recieved is the Q cooldown and I think the R change when disguised, and I think a good change would be to maybe remove the on-hit W damage while disguised or maybe add more of a cooldown to each type of character she can turn into, similar to Talon's wall hops??

A good way to combat her passive is just to be very wary of every minion, look for any out of place movements, and use your abilities on the caster minions (which most neeko players are). If you pay well enough attention for any extra or out of place creeps, then you should always spot her. Always remember that Neeko gets revealed by towers so you let the wave crash to make her waste her minion "data." She can always turn into champions however, with no cooldown or "data" needed.

(I'll take about the "data" when I update the guide soon, but it's just the energy she collects to turn into a minion or a ward.)

Sorry if this is a bit scatterbrained, as I just woke up, however if you have any more questions, let me know!
