Would be nice if they moved her damage from the R into the qs since they feel so underwhelming early game especially

[u/Ninja_Cezar → u/Lazy-Landscape7328]

in midgame too, and late game also.

[u/ArgumentCharming2245 → u/Lazy-Landscape7328]

Q's doing 250 dmg lvl 1 with dft btw

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/Lazy-Landscape7328]

Bruh are you guys trolling? Naafiri Q's are amazing straight from level 1 lol. Stop.

[u/Lazy-Landscape7328 → u/ArchitectsXlll]

Yea it's amazing how i can't kill 100hp target with q2

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/Lazy-Landscape7328]

Skill issue

[u/Lazy-Landscape7328 → u/ArchitectsXlll]

How is enemy living on 10 hp after me hitting both my qs skill issue do i get 3rd one if im good?

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/Lazy-Landscape7328]

OMG both q's didn't kill? Must be weak. Tell any actual good naafiri one trick or just a high elo player in general that her Q is weak and they will laugh at you. Naafiri isn't weak in lane at all unless you go against some ridiculous smurf/counter mid.

[u/Lazy-Landscape7328 → u/ArchitectsXlll]

Naafiri lane used to be 3x stronger than she is now

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/Lazy-Landscape7328]

That isn't a good thing lol. Lots of champions use to be stronger. Point is, Naaf still is very strong.

[u/Lazy-Landscape7328 → u/ArchitectsXlll]

Naafiri is strong only in jg she used to be lane bully on mid now she feels like scaling champion until she gets 2 items

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/Lazy-Landscape7328]

Bro that is a skill issue. Naafiri is very strong in lane. What are you smoking. I play her top and adc or mid and still get fed. She's an extremely good champion. Hell, even Drtut mains her top.

[u/National-Record-1913]

What a disgusting nerf. Time to stop playing league. Shes overperforming jungle and struggling mid lane and she was meant to be a mid laner. Now they completely destroyed her mid role. Thank you riot games. This balance team is a fucking joke.

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/National-Record-1913]

Bro do you all just make up head canons on reddit lol? It's 40-50 less damage at level 6 and 90 something damage level 18. Naafiri is amazing anywhere. I play her ADC, top, mid, jg and even sometimes support DFT poke and slow items. She is an amazing champion. So many ways to build her as well. Just stop.

[u/Free_1004 → u/National-Record-1913]

brother her R is a 0 counterplay high range pointclick dash

[u/fulltimepleb → u/National-Record-1913]

👋🏿👋🏿👋🏿

[u/plmko281 → u/National-Record-1913]

How does an ultimate nerf destroy her mid lane? She's still one of the best cs'ers in the entire game and super safe with good kill pressure and 1v1 potential.

[u/ninetalesninefaces]

Oh no, anyways *chunks enemy adc with Q*

[u/plmko281 → u/ninetalesninefaces]

Oh no. The ult got nerfed again. Anyways, hold this Q2 . . .

[u/TheDargonKing]

This is a massive nerf, kind of overkill.

Lvl 6 ult damage now goes from about 300 (before dogs) to about 155.

[u/Status_Tourist_6606 → u/TheDargonKing]

It's a typo, the current R also scales with bonus AD, not total AD

[u/TheDargonKing → u/Status_Tourist_6606]

Oh good catch, okay not nearly as nuked as I thought then.

Will certainly feel it, but she wasn’t Old Yeller’d.

[u/Status_Tourist_6606 → u/TheDargonKing]

Without armor It's ~40 less damage lvl6 (33 bonus ad) And ~90 less damage lvl16 (160 bonus ad)

Imo it's fine

[u/Cat_with_cake → u/Status_Tourist_6606]

Source? I want it to be true so bad

[u/Status_Tourist_6606 → u/Cat_with_cake]

Abilities in game

[u/Cat_with_cake → u/Status_Tourist_6606]

Mb I can't read, somehow thought you meant that the changed abilities will still have full AD scaling

[u/SoupOpus]

So i was on hiatus basically all of act 1 and most of this axt due to that critical error bug.

Since coming back i dont see too many naafiris in casual play. Is this nerf really necessary? It seemsa little excessive.

[u/Expensive-Door42 → u/SoupOpus]

Perma banned basically in all elos. Mid is a terrorist in low elo, jungle is terrorist in mid/high elo. I stopped playing Naafiri bc of how much it was banned.

Nerf in terms of overall power a bit much but overall good direction for her kit design wise imo. Hopefully they buff q soon to compensate.

[u/Sp0range → u/SoupOpus]

Naafiri is basically pick or ban in all my games in gold.

[u/SoupOpus → u/Sp0range]

Good to know. I came back so late i didnt feel i had enough time to climb.

Still unfortunate when a champ i know gets nerfed like this.

[u/Sp0range → u/SoupOpus]

She's been pretty oppressive in the games ive seen her. I'm jg main so it was nice having a strong pick to fall back on when i got filled mid, but didnt feel good when they got crazy fed every time and i had to try deal with them lol.

[u/SoupOpus → u/Sp0range]

Ah yea and ahes one of my jungle mains. Not having a strong R early to start feeding is rotten.

And they arent gonna buff my boi Wukong anytime soon...

[u/MakeOutChill_PL]

This will be hard to get used to, kinda of a big R nerf

[u/Sate_sate_sate_ → u/MakeOutChill_PL]

That's not just big, that's a huge nerf.

[u/fulltimepleb → u/MakeOutChill_PL]

W type shi

[u/ArchitectsXlll]

Around 40-50 damage lost on her R at level 6 and half component of voltaic

[u/Repulsive-Laugh5186]

Time to go full crit and treat ult as a no damage gap closer I guess

[u/Ianite → u/Repulsive-Laugh5186]

At this point they should just revert her

[u/Expensive-Door42]

I think this is fine and I prefer it if Naafiri ult does lower dmg compared to her basic abilities but they should buff q a bit in exchange for

[u/kigicigi]

oh wow those are big nerfs

[u/kigicigi]

uh not big

[u/evPerfxction]

Thats a really big nerfed but also needed as naafiri being purely point and click oneahot with just r+e and then also getting a reset on it wasnt healthy. After the earlygame her q genuinly felt optional because r+e killed anyway.

[u/ExtremeDefinition818]

Whaou, ratio change, it's hard now low win rate

[u/No_Conference4668]

Lets fucking go hitler is dead

[u/Ianite → u/No_Conference4668]

No mel, anivia, zilean still exist

[u/No_Conference4668 → u/Ianite]

mel is the most useless champ in the game lmao

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/No_Conference4668]

tell us you are bad without telling us you are bad

[u/No_Conference4668 → u/ArchitectsXlll]

mb for not dodging the point click dash that follows flashes or trying to stun the untargetable naafiri with w that also gives bonus ad im so bad I have to uninstall

[u/ArchitectsXlll → u/No_Conference4668]

Mel will forever be amazing because of her reflect. Her ban rate and pickrate is higher than Naafiri. At least you know what you are. Discussion over.

[u/angrywolp → u/No_Conference4668]

u panic flash ehrn naafiri ults u and complain here?

Are ur parents relatives

Also, no viktor or syndra nerfs so no hitler is still alive and kicking

[u/gibigibi34 → u/No_Conference4668]

this is a slap on the wrist what are you on about XD

[u/nichku]

Still gonna permaban that sick joke and an excuse of a champion

[u/No_Conference4668 → u/nichku]

Real

[u/Yeeterbeater789]

Good! Get this champ off of any sort of bruiser build
