      @@zefix3133 Her q is easy to dodge and her point and click dash can literally not only be interrupted by cc but also standing in the way of hew w causes her to stop kinda like Cait ult. Only thing that doesn't stop are her dogs. Again... She's an assassin she needs ways to gap close and she needs burst damage that focuses on single targets at a time. Her abilities literally force her to commit and push herself in the heat of battle. If you're alone you die if you're not shes easy to punish...

      @@BoostedBonobo101 You dont understand that she outranges most mages while spacing was their only counterplay. She has a 940 range point and click dash! Like it's so ridiculous to think about how high that range is especially for an assassin. Now combine it with her 350 e dash and she has a almost 1300 gapcloser XD. Hitting her q point blank is pretty easy. There is a reason she has 54% winrate as a new champion

    Okay you do realize you just made an assasin champion who 1. Is extremely hard to hit bcs dogs, 2. Most lilely has a very healthy jungle clear 3. Has a point and click dash that can only be blocked by teammates, a trait usually reserved for ultimate abilities, because a basic ability shouldn't call for constant pressure to stand in front of squishies and 4. Who's only weak trait is her lack of mobility after engaging, a trait easily solved by the confusion her dogs cause, a duskblade and the movement speed she gets. Also 5. You can't even use vision control to your benefit against her, and you can't even just kill her dogs like you would with yorick because we gotta give her something to heal them with, who cares about HP management.
    You know I understand it can be hard playtesting and stuff but was there really noone in the office who mentioned how frustrating this could be to non-competitve players who don't want to constantly get rushed by a pack of unpunishable dog minions. It's especially funny because her kit is surprisingly dumb, aside of hitting the two Qs. It's like she was designed so a single casual player could ruin the game for 9 others, because she has everything they could possibly need + Duskblade's new infuriating passive.
    I don't often think a LoL champ is badly designed, I wouldn't even say it here, but I feel like there were oversights when making her and she just ends up being a chore to play against.

    equating pantheon and zed as champions that want to get ahead early when they are pretty much the complete opposite (pantheon gigastomping early, zed being one of the weakest earlygame champs in the game) really shows how little understanding the balance team has of the game. then again, pantheon is also a scaling champ for some reason so i guess you could sort of state they work similarly in the lategame.

    • @zefix3133
      @zefix3133 11 месяцев назад

      The best thing is that Naafiri is garbage in the very early game, but with some items she just steamrolls 100-0 everyone in 1 second with her point and click dash

    A Champion Spoltight should show how to COUNTER a new champion, also. ALL these Spotlights are always focused on the champion abilities, but they never teach us how to defend against her. A Champion Spotlight is currently 100% "This is what she does", it should be 70% "This is what she does" and 30% "Here are real world examples of her fighting, to show us when to engage her, and how. It's *VERY* Frustrating playing against new champions because, while we have 10 years of experience killing Lux, MF and Jax, we have 0 experience with this new champion -- and this lack of experience is even WORSE with a new POINT AND CLICK champion like Naafiri comes out, and she ruins the game for like 1 to 2 months. *PLEASE* add real-world fights to the Champion Spotlights, already! UGhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

      It did. It said to body block the W for your squishies and that she is extremely vulnerable after blowing her mobility. It also showed how the hounds work. If you can't gather how to counter her from that you have not had 10 years of experience at all.

    If adjusted right (a bit OP during PBE), her kit is not overloaded. It can't prolong trades and is only there to kill an enemy asap, kind of how a dog or a wolf pack would act. Perfect for an assassin concept.
    It's a beginner champ with a high mastery ceiling. They did great with this one.
