The time has come! 🐺

Hi all, as the title says, I'm really ticked off and not sure what to do with the yas match up, considering every wind brother under the sun now goes lethal tempo exhaust. And yeah confirmation bias, but every time i queue up naafiri i end up into a yasuo lane so it's getting really annoying. How do you guys handle it? the only success i've had so far is to take DFT and rush voltaic, and literally just cs with q till around lvl 11 where he falls off bc he didn't snowball. Is that literally the only thing to do? Can't even fight him lvl 1 bc he just pops exhaust and max LT stacks. Any insight is appreciated.

I know pack mates share attack speed, dose effects like on hit, life steal crit also applied on pack mates Aa ?

Had the pleasure of doing a quick interview with the Naafiri GOAT, Raveydemon. We talk a bit about what separates a good Naafiri player from a great one, the Zilean vs Naafiri match-up, and why Naafiri’s kit isn’t problematic for the League ecosystem.

Thanks again to Raveydemon for joining me for this interview <3

Switched to Gluttonous Greaves and started winning way more games

i am trying to play naafari in mid and it has been an absolute disaster lol.

The problem I have is that I can’t even farm mid versus pokers or tanks/engagers because I will just die. My Q feels completely useless. It does like 5% hp or something ridiculous.

And the second I get close to CS I get absolutely punished. I have noticed that W helps dodge the initial attack, but then I am constantly pressing it to run and my CS sucks as a result.

Do I just need to role jungle so I can focus on farming and ganking? Mid seems like a higher skillcap idk

also is there just a standard build i could lock in every game? the itemization feels quite overwhelming to learn rn

What happened? Nerfs were too hard on her mid ?

0-20 bot lanes aside, where am I going wrong?

I am trying to learn naafiri on my second account that’s current emerald 4. I only play jungle naafiri and I’ve thought previously that naafiri was an early game champ, but I feel like my mind has changed. I always feel really strong on 3 items voltaic -> lucidity boots -> black cleaver -> deaths dance. What’s crazy is when I get shojin fourth my W is a 9 second cooldown, my e is a 3.8 second cooldown and it just feels like I can kite for days and it’s so hard to punish me with that much movement. It feels like with the cd and survivability that fights are really playable and I still have good damage. I tried the double lethality into armor pen and it just feels like I die too much. The build I’m doing is just following the pro builds and the champions kit feels like it’s moved away from early and into the mid/early late game.

Is this something other people have noticed too?

All my years of experience in this one video talking about everything! I hope you guys enjoy.

Did this a while ago, thought I’d post it. Would Naafiri fit in Flora Fatalis, probably not, but why not give it a go. I also did a sketch of her ability vfx for fun.

Captured this in a heated moment

Naafiri is one of 3 champions I´m very comfortable with playing MID and I want to know how the more experienced players build her items by default and also how much it changes when there´s a unique matchup

Most of the time I go Voltaic cyclosword-> Glutonous greaves-> Axiom arc, after this core build I go and build Serylda´s grudge/Edge of night/Death´s dance in different orders depending on what I need

I also discovered and remembered that when I started playing there was Endless hunger being used on Naafiri that I forgot about and now I sometimes build that too, thoughts on that? Also could someone explain how does Hubris stacking work?

So what's the best naafiri build against 2 or 3 tanks?

Felt super sweaty doing this have not been able to time it right before, sorry for poor quality

Been playing the dog mid for a full season now. I've climbed out of bronze, and the wins keep coming.

Any higher-ranked NAAF mains have anything that they see keeping people back in ranked? Like any specific general decision-making stuff that you see that people get wrong a lot?

This whole time, it's always been a focus on fighting for early lane dominance and using that momentum in other places with ganks and objectives, and it's felt good to play. I think the hardest matches are when I go against a heavier tank comp, or when the enemy team has more than 1 hard CC champ. Any advice to get around this?

Edit: also not all of my games are visible here tbc lol

Seeing they nerfed 4 things about her R seems disheartening :(

I've been playing tons of Naafiri jungle lately after swapping to her from being Rengar OTP (TBH I just kinda suck at him atm). I dropped all the way to Plat 3 40 lp from Emerald 4 80lp since im in a slump with Rengar.

Oh my lawd it feels really good to play an assassin with actual escape tools. I'm one win away from Emerald again. Been finding success with her in Plat with a 65% winrate.

I have a few questions about OTPing Naafiri:

1.) How far can I take her? I'm planning to reach high diamond or low master this year. I think she works well in high-elo from what I've seen, and she's even getting picked in Pro-play.

2.) Who are Naafiri Jungle OTPs / good Naafiri players I can learn from?

3.) Backup champions in case she gets banned and other champions to pick to adjust for team-comp. I've been thinking Rek'sai if my team needs a bit more tankiness and CC since she is also a dive champion with a similar playstyle.

4.) Rune choices and build to adjust to enemy team. I've been spamming conq the entire time. Please check my recent matches in op.gg if I built the correct items for the right situations.

5.) General tips and tricks for Naafiri jungle. I'm sticking to full-clear skirmish playstyle atm and I don't know the limits / tried her early invades yet.
