Riot Games Gives Sneak Peek at New Champion Naafiri Coming to League of Legends in 2023
Riot Games, the developers of League of Legends, recently provided fans with an inside look at their upcoming champion, Naafiri. Set to be released in 2023, Naafiri’s playstyle was detailed in a Champion Roadmap written by lead champion producer Alexia Gao.
A New Approach to Assassin Gameplay
In League of Legends, assassins typically focus on individual combat, finding opportunities to eliminate enemy champions and securing perfect kills. However, Riot aims to change things up with Naafiri, shifting the focus to macro plays and reducing the burden of execution. This new approach allows players to concentrate on strategic team plays.
Designed for the Hunt
The champion design team has emphasized that Naafiri is primarily an assassin. This champion is being created for players who enjoy hunting down their opponents. However, Riot wants to ensure that assassins can still make flashy plays while contributing to the overall strategic objectives of their team.
A Seamless Gameplay Experience
Gao explains that with the introduction of Naafiri, Riot has developed new technology to enhance her unique gameplay style. These changes aim to make her gameplay feel more dynamic, exciting, and clutter-free. Players can look forward to a seamless and immersive experience with Naafiri.
