Assassin proper? No, Neeko is not required to risk a dive to create her kill window, she also lacks any measures to get in or out. A brainless clone isn't going to cut it.

Reav3 reckons she be a catcher, which is appropriate if we look at her fundamental design. She's a shapeshifter that baits her enemies so she can lock them down. Half her kit interacts with her passive, so most of the time you're playing this facade rather than straight up peashooting. Her spellplay and damage is on par with burst mages, which convinces me to nominate her for a second role.

"Support" is not a term to be used alongside mage and assassin because it denotes position rather than class. Pyke is an assassin by all accounts, but is designed to take on support.
