Patch 13.9 sees a curious jungler rise as one of the most-banned champions in LoL

Neeko Becomes Ban-Worthy in League of Legends

Neeko, the Curious Chameleon, has become a force to be reckoned with in League of Legends after her recent update. She now holds one of the highest ban rates in the game.

Currently, Neeko is being banned in 23.2 percent of her games, ranking her behind Zed, Blitzcrank, Kha’Zix, and Malphite. This is a significant increase from her previous ban rate of only 0.3 percent, as reported by U.GG, a popular League of Legends stats aggregate.

Neeko’s New Kit Shakes Up the Meta

Neeko’s updated kit has gained widespread attention on social media. Riot Games has granted her the ability to transform into various aspects on Summoner’s Rift, including minions, jungle monsters, and plants. This newfound versatility has opened up unique strategies and opportunities to outsmart opponents.

Streamer Broxah Shows Off Neeko’s Potential

Popular streamer and professional player Broxah showcased Neeko’s tricks in a hilarious play. He disguised himself as a minion and lured the enemy Viktor into a deadly trap, ultimately securing an easy kill. This is just one example of the deceptive tactics that Neeko can employ to outplay opponents.

Neeko’s Learning Curve Keeps Ban Rates High

Despite Neeko’s ban-worthy status, her win rates in various roles remain lackluster. Many players are still unfamiliar with her abilities and are wary of falling victim to her trickery. As a result, Neeko has a low win rate in the jungle position and below 50 percent win rates in support and mid lane, according to U.GG.

As players continue to learn how to effectively counter Neeko’s tactics, we may see a decline in her ban rate and an improvement in her win rate in future updates.
