Neeko vs Taliyah

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko should leverage her high lane pressure to force Taliyah into a reactive, defensive posture.
Control minion waves to enable E angles and disguise setups, denying Taliyah safe farming and roam opportunities.

Trading pattern

Fish for E roots through minions and follow up with Q burst before Taliyah can respond.
Respect Taliyah W and E cooldowns; engage when these are down to avoid displacement and slows.
Use W and passive disguise to create uncertainty and bait Taliyah into poor positioning for R all-ins.

Danger windows

When E is missed, Neeko becomes vulnerable to Taliyah's poke and displacement combos.
Avoid all-ins when Taliyah's W and E are available to punish forward movement.
Be cautious if Taliyah pushes and leaves lane to roam; hard push and punish or ping for jungle assistance.

Early game

Use E through minions to root and punish Taliyah when she steps forward to poke with Taliyah Q.
Maintain wave control to prevent Taliyah from pushing and gaining roam priority.
Avoid extended trades if E misses or Taliyah's W and E are ready to punish.

Power spikes

Neeko's level 6 R unlocks strong all-in and multi-target control potential.
First completed AP burst item enhances Neeko's kill threat and wave clear.
Respect Taliyah's level 6 R for map pressure and potential roams that can leave Neeko vulnerable.

Win conditions

Use disguise, E root setups, and R threat to create picks or force Taliyah to play behind minions.
Deny Taliyah safe wave control to limit her roam impact and scaling.
Capitalize on cooldown windows of Taliyah's W and E to secure kills or force summoner spells.

Tip: For Neeko vs Taliyah, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
