Neeko vs Shaco Counter Pick

Shaco played as a support is a specialist pick, and the 158-game sample on patch 16.13.1 shows how rarely it appears; Neeko holds 52.5% against it. The difficulty ratings frame the pairing well: Shaco sits at 9, near the top of the ten-point scale, while Neeko sits at 5, so the outcome usually turns on whether the Shaco player executes rather than on any stat gap.

• Reach decides the neutral game — 550 against 125 — and his only approach is Deceive, an invisible teleport that empowers his next attack.
• Backstab pays out only when he strikes from behind, so keeping a wall or the minion wave at Neeko’s back removes part of his damage.
• Jack In The Box fears on trigger, the tool most likely to break a Pop Blossom preparation.
• Hallucinate spawns an illusion, mirroring Shapesplitter‘s deception from the other side.

Shaco deals mixed damage, so armor alone does not answer him, and he moves faster at 345 against 340. Neeko’s compensation is durability over time: she climbs from 610 health and 21 armor to 2,378 and 109.4, while Shaco goes from 630 and 30 to 2,313 and 98. Tangle-Barbs is the decisive button, since a root landed the moment he leaves invisibility ends the engage and lets Neeko punish the 125-range body she otherwise avoids.
