Naafiri in League of Legends can Charge into Unreachable Objects
In a surprising turn of events, Naafiri, the infamous hunter in League of Legends, has discovered a bug that allows her to charge into normally untargetable objects. The bug was revealed by renowned bug hunter and content creator Vandril on Aug. 10.
Naafiri’s W ability, Hounds’ Pursuit, enables her to charge into objects that are typically off-limits. This includes Jarvan IV’s flag, Bel’Veth’s Void Coral, which she uses to enter her final form, and even Teamfight Tactics pets found in Howling Abyss.
Under normal circumstances, Naafiri shouldn’t be able to interact with these objects, as they are not targetable by other players. The inclusion of TFT pets, which are meant to add joy and companionship, only adds to the unfair advantage Naafiri gains from this bug.
Unfair Advantage and Possible Exploitation
This bug gives Naafiri a significant edge over her opponents, allowing her to quickly close the gap and eliminate squishy champions in a single rotation.
Vandril has shown only three examples of this bug, leaving room to discover more objects onto which Naafiri can charge. Potential examples include Senna’s passive souls, Zyra’s pre-bloom plants, Thresh’s lantern, souls of enemies defeated by Viego, and even Lulu’s Pixie.
Resolution Expected in Patch 13.16
As of now, Riot Games has yet to acknowledge or address this bug. However, considering the responsiveness of the developers to Vandril’s videos, it is likely that this issue will be resolved in Patch 13.16.
