Amumu
His stun is longer than your stun, so he can use his ult to negate your ult. He has a fairly high DPS in the early game, and I suggest playing the ganking game as perfect as possible. Amumu has everything Neeko wishes in the jungle and more, and you can't really do much because he will most likely outgank, outscale, and outCC you.
Morgana
THE BEST off-meta bot lane. It's also called the double Morgana bot lane.

PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour
Neeko disguises into an ally of her choosing, copying the ally's current health and visible stats.
When the ally is dead, Neeko sets her HP to a 10% threshold. Casting abilities and getting damaged by enemy champions cancel the disguise.
NOTE: Neeko also copies the attack speed, attack windups and projectiles, range (does not copy ranges larger than 550 units), attack speed, and model size. Use these stats to farm easier, get to lane faster, and create universal pressure.
Q: Blooming Burst
RANGE: 800 EFFECT RADIUS: 225 CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 50 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 MANA COOLDOWN: 7s
Neeko hurls a seed towards target location, bursting to deal 80 / 125 / 170 / 215 / 260 (+ 50% AP) magic damage.
If an enemy champion or large monster continues to stand and/or die on the radius , the seed continues to burst dealing 40 / 60 / 80 / 100 / 120 (+ 20% AP) magic damage.
NOTE: This ability is a projectile, though it's damage acts like a Syndra Q, A.K.A. it has 0 travel time. With this, targeting this ability towards the enemy champion's feet is a guaranteed hit, but only when the enemy champion's speed is at 425 or less. Use this to punish enemy laners that stand on the minion wave.
W: Shapesplitter
TARGET RANGE: 900 CAST TIME: NONE COOLDOWN: 20 / 19 / 18 / 17 / 16
PASSIVE: Every 3rd attack becomes a non-projectile and deals 50 / 70 / 90 / 110 / 130 (+ 60% AP) magic damage. Neeko gains 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30% bonus MS
Neeko goes invisible for 0.5 seconds, releasing a clone in target direction and gaining 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40% bonus MS for 3 seconds. The clone follows the wall if ever it hits one.
NOTE: The clone does not affect PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour and will also be disguised. Use this to mess jungler tracking.
E: Tangle-Barbs
RANGE: 1000 WIDTH: 140 / 200 SPEED: 1300 / 1500 CAST TIME: 0.25 COST: 60 / 65 / 70 / 75 / 80 MANA COOLDOWN: 12 / 11.5 / 11 / 10.5 / 10
Neeko slings a snare in the target direction, dealing 80 / 115 / 150 / 185 / 220 (+ 60% AP) magic damage to enemies it passes through and rooting them for 0.7 / 0.9 / 1.1 / 1.3 / 1.5 seconds.
If the snare passes through an enemy, it grows larger and faster, rooting for 1.8 / 2.1 / 2.4 / 2.7 / 3 seconds.
NOTE: E: Tangle-Barbs is perfect for punishing mistakes, while also really good for preventing engages. Use it with caution, as you are very vulnerable without it.
R: Pop Blossom
EFFECT RADIUS: 700 / 600 CAST TIME: 0.6 COST: 100 MANA COOLDOWN: 90
Neeko channels for 1.25 seconds, highlighting the effect radius. Neeko then roots herself to deal 200 / 425 / 650 (+ 130% AP) magic damage and stunning for 1.25 seconds.
NOTE: The channel can not get cancelled by any means except death, even stasis.
NOTE: The highlight is stealthed when under PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour.
DO'S
When up against non-assassins, use E-Q-Empowered AA to trade.
When up against assassins, use Q-Empowered AA- W disengage to trade.
Use Empowered AA MS to dodge skillshots.
Use E to prevent assassin engages.
DON'TS
Let your laner farm for free. You're a lane bully.
Use E in trading VS Assassins. You leave yourself exceedingly vulnerable to all-ins.
Ignoring PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour
Wasting openings. Neeko can easily abuse openings.
DO'S
Always disguise as a squishy champ, whether it is an enchanter, ADC, or low-health teammate to set up surprise one-shots.
Take all available farm you see. Neeko has amazing waveclear and camp clear.
Preparing Empowered AA to be ready for fights.
Taking objectives, Neeko has good turret destroying potential.
DON'TS
Staying in one lane. You're preventing yourself from taking farm and getting picks.
Not buying control wards. Use them as bait for an all-in.
Ignoring PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour
Grouping too much. Neeko can also flank like a pro
EASY COMBOS (ANYONE WITH BASIC LOL KNOWLEDGE CAN DO THESE)
E-Q TRADE
Basic trading combo in-and-out of laning phase.
E-R-Q-Everfrost ALL-IN
Basic all-in combo in-and-out of laning phase.
Hidden R-E-Q-Everfrost ALL-IN
Use PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour before using R: Pop Blossom. Basic assassin all-in combo.
AVERAGE COMBOS (ANYONE WITH DECENT MICRO CAN DO THIS)
FLASH E-Q COMBO
Use this combo to snipe a low-health enemy.
Hidden R-FLASH E-Q-Everfrost COMBO
Use PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour before using R: Pop Blossom then flash-e to prevent them from dashing away. Guaranteed all-in when E hits.
HARD COMBOS (ONLY PEOPLE WITH GOOD MICRO CAN DO THIS)
HEXFLASH E-Q
Hard to pull off because casting E: Tangle-Barbs before Hexflash is done cancels Hexflash. Pulling this off is rewarding though.
HEXFLASH E-Q-AA
Previous combo, but weave autos. Orbwalk.
HEXFLASH-PASSIVE-W-E-Q
Hexflash then use PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour during channel, then W EXACTLY after Hexflash is done channeling. E-Q trade after.
HEXFLASH-PASSIVE-W-R-E-ROCKETBELT/EVERFROST-Q-Empowered AA
Possibly the HARDEST Neeko combo. You Hexflash over wall, use PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour while Hexflash is channeling, W: Shapesplitter exactly after Hexflash is done, R: Pop Blossom after W: Shapesplitter, then E: Tangle-Barbs to root, use Everfrost/ Hextech Rocketbelt, then Q: Blooming Burst while they're CC'd, then weave autos.

HEXFLASH-PASSIVE-W-R-E-ROCKETBELT/EVERFROST-Q-Empowered AA
Possibly the HARDEST Neeko combo. You Hexflash over wall, use PASSIVE: Inherent Glamour while Hexflash is channeling, W: Shapesplitter exactly after Hexflash is done, R: Pop Blossom after W: Shapesplitter, then E: Tangle-Barbs to root, use Everfrost/ Hextech Rocketbelt, then Q: Blooming Burst while they're CC'd, then weave autos.
GANKING
Disguise as a hidden ally with weak ganks to set your R up, then flash over the enemy.
NEUTRAL OBJECTIVES
Q: Blooming Burst the neutral objectives, as it procs thrice. Remember to ward. You can also be the guard and hide in a brush for a surprise one-shot.
SKIRMISHES
R: Pop Blossom will always win you the skirmish, but make sure they have rid of their abilities with the untargetable status
AS A TOPLANER
Your W: Shapesplitter passive is strong in these matchups. Always remember to look to poke when Empowered AA is up. DO NOT use it to farm, it's your number 1 damage ability.
This is optional, though, as you can also go AP top lane: Think of it that you're a Kennen. Poke everyone then malphite burst them down.
AS AN ADC
Similar to Top Lane, your W: Shapesplitter passive is very important in these matchups. Your E is also important in these matchups, because a CC'd enemy ADC is free food.
Make sure to look at the matchup statistics I placed to know what they're capable of.
AS A JUNGLER
Start Red Brambleback into Raptors, then start your blue side. Ask for assistance in skirmishes because Neeko can't fare well vs the bruisers of the jungle. Her ganks are really strong though, especially post 6.
AS A SUPPORT
As a support, your R: Pop Blossom is tremendously OP. An AOE Peel when things get rough, an AOE stun to engage, and a follow up with AOE CC. Your E: Tangle-Barbs is also AOE, which makes it hard for the immobile laners to dodge. Your Q: Blooming Burst also deals decent damage.
