Statistical Matchup Analysis

Blitzcrank dominates the meta (10th most popular, 6.0% pick rate) and regularly clashes with Neeko (2.8% pick rate). Understanding this common matchup forms the foundation of consistent gameplay for one of support's current powerhouses. Surprising upset: Despite Blitzcrank's higher tier rating, Neeko wins 51.5% of encounters. This suggests Neeko's kit specifically counters Blitzcrank's playstyle, overriding general meta strength - approach this matchup with extra caution. Every edge matters: In this tough matchup, the proven Glacial Augment + Hextech Flashtraption combination (51.1% win rate) plus optimal itemization Zeke's Convergence, Frozen Heart, Locket of the Iron Solari, and Boots of Swiftness boosts your chances from 48.5% to 70%+ - potentially game-changing.

Vision advantage: Despite losing the direct matchup, Blitzcrank's superior warding (0.90 wards/min, 19th among supports) can swing team fights and objectives in your favor. Outclassed across the board: Neeko leads in both matchup win rate (51.5%) and damage (634 vs 371/min). Blitzcrank must seek alternative win conditions through macro play and team coordination. Strong individual performance: Blitzcrank maintains better KDA (2.50, 24th place vs 39th for Neeko), but loses the matchup overall. High KDA without wins suggests difficulty translating individual advantages into victory conditions.

How to Beat Neeko as Blitzcrank (Support)

Despite the slight difference in effectiveness, in the Blitzcrank versus Neeko matchup as support, neither champion has an overwhelming advantage. The winner is determined by player skill and understanding the intricacies of the confrontation. Studying this guide will improve your chances of success.

The magic damage that Blitzcrank deals remains relevant in the late game. Look for opportunities to initiate or counter-initiate. Meanwhile, Neeko deals primarily magic damage (88.18%), additional magic resistance may be required.

An important advantage of Blitzcrank is superior vision control (ranked 19th among supports) (versus 37th for Neeko), which provides better map control and safety for the team in important map areas. Meanwhile, their lower KDA (2.2 versus 2.5) suggests they are less effective in team fights.

Key aspects of the Blitzcrank Support versus Neeko Support matchup

In this difficult confrontation, it is critically important for the Blitzcrank player to avoid attempts to force trades and all-ins with the Neeko player, as the matchup requires a patient and calculated approach. Extended trades without clear tactical advantage often lead to unfavorable consequences, and ignoring opportunities to receive team support can be a fatal mistake for game progression.

Blitzcrank tips:

  • The 1-2-3 combo of Rocket Grab, Power Fist, and Static Field can devastate an individual opponent.
  • Using Blitzcrank's grab to pull an enemy into your tower range followed by a Power Fist will allow the tower to get several hits on them.

Playing Against Neeko

  • Standing behind minions against Neeko is very dangerous as Tangle-Barbs become stronger.
  • Pop Blossom's warning visuals are invisible if Neeko is disguised.
