Based on 22 recent matches analyzed, Neeko wins with a 59.1% win rate compared to Alistar's 40.9%, giving Neeko a 18.2 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Alistar controls the early laning stage, but Neeko outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Alistar needs to press advantages before Neeko reaches their power spikes, while Neeko should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints.
