Neeko vs Ryze

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko should pressure Ryze early to deny his safe scaling and force him out of comfort farming windows.
Use disguise and minion angles to create uncertainty and punish Ryze's short-range and mana reliance.

Trading pattern

Fish for E roots through minions and immediately burst with Q to punish Ryze's short range.
Respect Ryze W cooldown; engage when it's down to avoid being rooted.
Use W clone and disguise to bait Ryze's Ryze W and create windows for all-in or poke.

Danger windows

When Ryze has Ryze W ready, avoid stepping into his root range to prevent follow-up burst.
If Ryze has enough mana and cooldowns to cycle Ryze E and Ryze Q, respect his sustained damage potential.
Avoid committing when disguise or W clone is tracked, as Ryze can better predict your engage.

Early game

Use E through minions to root Ryze and follow up with Q burst before he can retaliate.
Avoid extended trades if E misses or Ryze holds Ryze W for a root punish.
Keep lane pressure high to prevent Ryze from safely applying Ryze E and Ryze Q rotations.

Power spikes

Neeko's level 6 R is a major all-in and teamfight threat to punish Ryze's limited mobility.
Ryze's first mana/AP item spike increases his sustained damage; avoid prolonged fights after this.
Neeko's first completed AP burst item enhances her kill pressure during E+Q combos.

Win conditions

Use E through minions to root and Q burst Ryze before he can retaliate with Ryze W.
Leverage disguise and W clone to create picks or force Ryze to play cautiously.
Turn level 6 R threat into picks or force Ryze to respect your all-in, denying his scaling lane comfort.

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