Hope this will raise some awareness =(

I'll look into it and see what I can do. A few of these seem like easy fixes while others seem difficult, but maybe. Best I can do is get eyes on it which I will do for ya. Neeko is best decision :)

I appreciate the work, but I wonder, why does it always take a social media outrage to get stuff fixed in the game?

It really doesn't, me responding here is just very visual and thus skews bias. Theres literally countless bugs we report on and fix that you don't see. At the same time, we also can't fix bugs that we don't know about, so things like this help us get visualization into those problems.

Alright did some digging:

There is a mix here of bugs that are being tracked and worked on being fixed, some new things uncovered that I have reported, as well as some here that are working as intended.

Some specifics- the hitbox thing feels off, I will look into it and see what I can but no promises.

Comet/HoB being visual when disguised is working as intended. I believe the bug is when they DON'T show when disguised.

Skin bugs are outside the realm of where I can help unfortunately.

Biggest thing I can say here is Neeko's HP not showing while disguised is known and being tracked.

I'm not sure if the HoB is working as intended. As neeko if I pretend to be nunu and I have HoB it shows HoB below my feet for enemy to see. Another more obvious example is with Omnistone. WHen you use passive the enemy sees omnistone next to health bar so its really obvious. Also on that note when you use neeko close omnistone doesnt show on clone so its really obv which is real neeko.

I was told it is intended, and while I disagree and don't feel it matches my expectations, I don't feel strongly enough to challenge that call.

Do you feel that if Neeko wasn't forcibly rushed out of production she may of ended up a bit differently?

Or would you say she's as "neeko" as she could be?

I wasn't here for Neeko's dev cycle so I can't speak on it personally. I doubt she was rushed out of production because we have a high bar for quality, though she was released a long time ago and things were likely different in a variety of ways back then. As far as being as "Neeko" as she can be, the identity of a champ is hard to speak on because realistically they are who they are, whether thats for the best or not. I personally do not believe Neeko as a design is fully realized, though thats not to say I think its a poor design. I personally love the design, and I also think the champ could also be so much more. A lot of where I think we could advance her further (mainly her W) stems from areas where we likely just didn't have the tech to do what we can do now with champions.

That's nice to know! I've been told by a few rioters due to Sylas being pushed back she was pushed through production quicker to get a champion released.

Its nice to hear that it can be seen by some she's not fully realised. I do love her don't get me wrong, but she does a feel a bit 3/4ths done. Particularly her visuals don't feel as solidly appealing as they could be and her kit feels a bit TOO basic.

Indeed, I think there is also this unforunate scenario where a champ that is function and even good design wise like Neeko gets overshadowed by champions that more desperately need work done to keep them up to bar.

Yeah that can definitely be a shame at times. I feel like we saw a similar experience happening to a handful of champions up until recently.

With that said the balance and design team are doing good work in bringing in more of these tiny reworks to help these champions out. Like Xin Zhao, Akali and the upcoming Rammus rework. So that's nice.

Thanks for the chat :)

Yeah really liking what we got coming down the pipeline, I worked closely with Truexy the designer for the Xin Zhao update so I feel extra confident on that. Ofc thanks for the chat as well :)
