Neeko's Mid-Scope Update is going to releae in LoL Patch 13.9. Her new kit has made it into the PBE server and she can now turn into anything on Summoner's Rift. Are you ready?
Neeko's Mid-Scope Update in LoL Patch 13.9 is going to breathe new life into League of Legends. Finally, her shape-shifting fantasy is going to truly shine and come to life with this update and while everyone praises this update, it's going to be so tilting to play against her.
Neeko's Mid-Scope was teased last August and we got a glimpse back in January and now months later it's finally going to go live. Let's check out what Riot is going to update in her kit.
LoL Patch 13.9: Neeko's Mid-Scope Update Reveals New Kit
A Mid-Scope Update will take a champion and rework some of their kit to improve on their gameplay fantasy and just to bring something new and fresh to the rift. Some champions might have cool designs, but they just aren't as popular as they should be, hence why Riot looks over their kits to see how to improve them.
Syndra was the latest champion to receive a Mid-Scope and since then her play rate and win rate have shot up to a stable 50% with a 5% play-rate. Will Neeko's Mid-Scope Update also bring her back from the brink of insignificance?
Neeko might not be related to this champion, but we hope to see them together on Summoner's Rift soon.

The biggest thing for Neeko's mid-scope is her new passive. This has been teased before in January and we got a short visual teaser as well, but now it seems that some of the bugs have been figured out and Neeko is ready to take the Rift by storm with her reworked abilities.
Neeko turning into minions is just great and with some added damage to monsters she is also going to be a viable pick in the jungle, making her a more versatile pick. Whether it's enough to make her a meta jungler though is yet to be seen.
