Matt Dunn's tweet about Neeko: https://twitter.com/thatmattdunn/status/1064613909074595841

UPDATE: Dunn confirms Neeko was in love with Nidalee, but it was unrequited: https://twitter.com/thatmattdunn/status/1064640118919548928

Neeko was just revealed for League of Legends, and there's a LOT of interesting things to talk about with her, both in terms of her story concept as a lost "uncontacted" person from a faraway civilization stranded in the modern Runeterran world, and her identity as a shapeshifter and empath.

I do have some choice words about some of the character design decisions in converting "humanoid chameleon character" into a mostly generic cute girl in cosplay character, but in general she's quite a decent little design.
