Naafiri is receiving a much-needed mini-rework in the upcoming patch.
Naafiri has struggled to find her place in the meta since her release, often overshadowed by other champions and even by other assassins. Currently, she holds one of the lowest pick rates in the game, just sitting at a 1.2% pick rate.
Despite having quite a strong showing during her release, her pick rate has dropped off quite a bit. This could be due to Assassins being weak or her kit not being able to handle the current meta champions. However, one thing is for sure, she needs some changes.
Thus, Riot has announced that Naafiri is getting a mini-rework in Patch 25.06. According to Riot, her old W – Hounds’ Pursuit and R – The Call of the Pack are getting swapped and her Packmate damage and defense are being adjusted. Also, her damage numbers are being changed too.
So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at the upcoming Naafiri rework.
