Neeko vs Hwei Matchup Summary

The Neeko vs Hwei matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 13 recent matches analyzed, Hwei wins with a 61.5% win rate compared to Neeko's 38.5%, giving Hwei a 23.1 percentage point advantage. Game phase dynamics play a critical role here: Neeko controls the early laning stage, but Hwei outscales as the game goes longer. The matchup shifts dramatically depending on game length — Neeko needs to press advantages before Hwei reaches their power spikes, while Hwei should focus on safe farming and hitting key item breakpoints. The most significant statistical gap is in damage output, where Hwei leads by 356 DMG/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Hwei has a strong advantage in this matchup. Neeko players should play defensively, prioritize safe farming under tower, and look for opportunities created by jungle pressure or Hwei overextending. Avoid prolonged trades and wait for team fights where positioning and coordination matter more. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.
