Neeko is coming back better than ever…
Neeko is the next big overhaul for League of Legends, one of the big updates, but it's all been delayed as Riot finalizes its change. Riot is launching a new mid-range update in League of Legends that will also come with new champion releases. Season 12 is coming to an end and Riot wants to do a few more things with Syndra and Neeko.
However, Neeko doesn't really fit into League of Legends, and has yet to find her place in the meta. Neeko is an intermediate mage and support, but her clones don't quite produce what everyone hoped they would…which makes her character really fall flat and hard to use.
Even though Neeko has some of her own issues, there are still plenty of players playing with her, with her character still having a 2,7% fanbase and 51% win rating…although that's not really sufficient or even with the sector. always keeping her as their go-to.
Developer Ryan Mireles explained in August, "We want to refresh champions that don't meet the expectations of players who love them. We try to reinforce their fantasy even more, rather than reinvent it.
“We've seen very good responses to these projects and healthy spikes in play rates after release. We want to continue to pursue mid-range updates, and we already have a few champions we're exploring, including Neeko.
Neeko's revamp won't be far away yet... which is sad for players eager and ready to play the updates that have been brought to her. Another developer by the name of "Phlox" on Twitter told players on October 11 that the Curious Chameleon midrange update was "still a little while because the strongest tomatoes take the longest to mature". Phlox also said, "We want to make Neeko as Neeko as possible and even more fun for Neeko fans." It's all been kept very vague, but it's better than nothing.
Hi players,
I received a lot of questions about the timeline/release date of the Neeko midscope. All I can say is that it is still a bit absent because the strongest tomatoes take the longest to ripen.

For now, that's all the information we have about the midrange update and when it's coming for players to experience and play for themselves.
League of Legends is a team-based strategy game, where two different teams of five champions compete to destroy each other's base first. You can choose from over 140 champions to make epic plays, killing and destroying your enemy base. Sounds pretty cool, right? And now the game is getting even more updates, so it's worth checking it out.
League of Legends is available for free on Epic Games Store on Windows PC. The game is coming to Xbox soon. Climb up now and see if you can destroy the other teams' base and be the winner before they destroy yours!
