Track: Neeko's E — Tangle-Barbs (12–10s cooldown). The root sets up her whole burst — sidestep it behind minions.
Read from Blitzcrank's seat: which stage windows this plan plays for against Neeko.
This is Blitzcrank's own plan; across 1,941 pooled games the lane is leaning Neeko.
| Stage | Favoured | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Blitzcrank | Level 1 is yours because Neeko has no early lock to contest your zoning or hook threat. |
| Level 2 | Blitzcrank | Level 2 is yours because your grab-E burst kills before her slow root can peel. |
| Level 3 | Blitzcrank | Level 3 is yours because her telegraphed Tangle-Barbs can't punish you back. |
| Levels 4-5 | Blitzcrank | Levels 4-5 are yours because her burst needs setup your hook denies. |
| Level 6 | Even / skill | Level 6 is even because a hidden Pop Blossom can stun through and flip your engage. |
| First item | Blitzcrank | First item is yours because first-item movespeed lets you dodge her skillshots and punish cooldowns. |
| Two+ items | Even / skill | 2+ items are even because her AoE ult, root chain and clone disguise catch up to your pick threat. |
You control the opening levels: Neeko has only a slow Tangle-Barbs root and no reliable self-peel, so your level-2 grab-into-E threatens a kill she can't answer, and you set the tempo through level 5. Her root is slow and she has no self-peel, so a level-two grab plus the fist ends the exchange before it starts. Sit in the brush while your carry holds the wave back. Draw the tangle with a step you can leave, then take the real angle on the beat afterwards.
