Ryze vs Neeko

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Ryze is a scaling mage with medium lane pressure who must manage mana and avoid Neeko's poke to safely farm.
Control wave and avoid giving Neeko passive scaling or easy all-ins through disguise and clone misdirection.

Trading pattern

Use E and Q for controlled poke and hold W to root Neeko when she commits or after Neeko E hits.
Punish Neeko if she misses Neeko E by stepping forward with W root and Q follow-up.
Avoid stepping into Neeko's Neeko R all-in threat without W ready or sufficient mana for rotations.

Danger windows

Neeko is most dangerous when Neeko E roots through minions and Neeko R is ready for all-in burst.
Avoid trading or pushing when W root or mana are down, as Neeko can punish with Neeko Q and Neeko E.
Hard push and ping if Neeko roams, as she uses R for picks and map pressure.

Early game

Focus on farming safely while avoiding Neeko's empowered Neeko E through minions.
Use W root defensively to punish Neeko's all-in attempts after Neeko E lands.
Avoid extended trades early when low on mana or when Neeko's Neeko R is available.

Power spikes

Ryze's first mana/AP item significantly increases sustained damage and trading potential.
Level 6 R provides map pressure and roam opportunities, not direct lane burst.
Respect Neeko's level 6 Neeko R burst and knock-up as a strong all-in threat.

Win conditions

Scale safely by farming and using E and Q rotations to chip Neeko down when W is available.
Use waveclear to deny Neeko easy all-in setups and create roam opportunities with R.
Punish Neeko's missed Neeko E roots with W root and Q damage to control lane tempo.

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