Neeko vs Soraka Matchup Summary

Based on 50 recent matches analyzed, Neeko wins with a 58.0% win rate compared to Soraka's 42.0%, giving Neeko a 16.0 percentage point advantage. Neeko dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Soraka players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential.

217Soraka
