Riot is finally reworking LoL’s most irrelevant champion—and she could be getting a new role
Who let the dogs out?
With 170 League of Legends champions in the roster, it’s difficult for Riot to find the time to make all of them viable. Some remain constant, while others have fallen to the wayside. Unfortunately for Naafiri, this champion never had the opportunity to shine, but now, they’re getting a fresh coat of paint.
Lead designer August confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that a Naafiri midscope update is in the works, noting more skill expression to her kit, more dogs, and most notably the ability for her to play as a solo laner, but also a jungler. Since this news, players have discussed the potential of Naafiri being more of a jungle champion going forward.
