Neeko vs Viego Matchup Summary

The Neeko vs Viego matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 6 recent matches analyzed, Viego wins with a 83.3% win rate compared to Neeko's 16.7%, giving Viego a 66.7 percentage point advantage. Viego dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Neeko players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Neeko leads by 1.0s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Viego 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 Viego 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.

Damage
837Neeko
575Viego

Sustain
