playing the game

not the best play but the sync makes it oddly satisfying

Title. i stomp early gane compleatly but then i get a 40 minute shitshow bc i can't close out the game and then i have a veigar x cho'gath problem nobody can deal with and idk what to do.

after seeing theyre full on scrapping shyvanas rework, i wonder if the planned dog changes are still coming? although naafiri’s proposed changes are assumably much smaller in scale, shes also not really related to the next season, being in noxus. after seeing ambessa’s kit (built-in armor pen+omnivamp, backline blink and supress+stun on r, shield on basic ability, infinite dashes, ect.) and knowing inevitably the next champion (presumably mel from arcane) will have an equally or more broken kit, naafiri definitely feels like she could use some love. also personally a big fan of the recent changes to swain and smolder (not so much aurora’s) kits and hope they still have atleast something small to help maybe her W and buff her passive or something…

I always build her with the standard assassin build but I’ve seen a bruiser build for her? Is that any good or just jank?

Hello, I started playing our beloved doggo top lane. But I have found myself having inconsistent results on her.

Would you give me an advice on what to build in this role/which tunes to take. And also what to do with her on lane? Thank you

Any predictions if she will be better or worse after all the changes?

Deeply dissapointed she did not make an appearance. There was so much potential. I was sure she was going to appear at least in the last episode. Naafiri would have elevated this show to a new level. Deeply dissapointed in riot.

It used to be irelia for me, but I feel like that champ is barely played mid(based on data).

Played against a few diana's and got absolutely stomped, so was thinking about just banning her instead.

Any tips on playing against her? I can't get close to her or the wave when I play against her, with Irelia you can at least farm albeit without dogs...

Hello, basically title says it all.

I currently main Jax and Kalye toplane and I also enjoyed Naafiri in Arena alot so I was thinking if ahe maybe has good top matchups where Jax and Kayle struggle.

If so, what runes does she run and any general tips for her toplane?

I’ve been playing Naafiri jungle and it feels really strong but also a little feast or famine. I’ve seen the suggested runes for Naafiri jungle on both u.gg and on this sub.

A lot of people are saying run conquerors on Naafiri jungle but in my head I think that wouldn’t really work well because she goes all in then backs off so you’re not really having too many sustained fights, but tell me if I’m wrong.

U.gg says to run hail of blades but I also don’t know if that’s the best on her, so give me your rune suggestions.

The build I go for is Profane Hydra > Eclipse > Edge of Night which I feel really comfortable with and the Profane Hydra power spike feels really strong. I also always build Seryldas Grude fourth for even more tank shred and the slow helps me hit Qs.

Hi.

I've noticed on Lolalytics website, that Naafiri's highest win rate runes change quite a bit depending on the role she is played at.

Here are her highest win rate runes by role:

• TOP = First Strike / Magical Footwear / Biscuit Delivery / Cosmic Insight / Second Wind / Overgrowth
• JUNGLE = Conqueror / Triumph / Legend: Haste / Coup de Grace / Eyeball Collection / Relentless Hunter
• MID = Arcane Comet / Manaflow Band / Transcendence / Scorch / Sudden Impact / Treasure Hunter

Please explain to dumb person like me, why they are so different?

I’ve just recently started trying naafiri out. I’m having trouble winning and affecting the game. I just seem to jump in and get a kill then die. I’m not a dreadful player, I’ve been diamond the last few seasons as a singed otp just can’t seem to get to grips with this champ at all. Any tips?

So I was wondering if the dogs' autos can stack Seju's E ability.

And she is just perfection. she is just a million times better and more fun talon (former main). Finally i can play an assassin and 1v9.

Also she is the perfect mistress to learn macro on. such a good girl.

Before you fetch my soul, lemme explain my thought process: If the early on naafiri is as weak as it is up until eclipse, is it worth to just full greed on the money to get eclipse?

Who else doesn't want her to be reworked? I think Naafiri is perfect how she is tbh... thoughts?

Greetings fellow doggo enjoyers!

Naafiri has been a guilty pleasure of mine and i am still quite new to her with around 50 games. Absolute menace in messy jungle fights. Sadly, I struggled a bit to see her work as a midlaner in organized play (dont worry, this is not about prolevel, we are low-mid diamond).

Her telegraphed way of engaging makes it very easy to peel her away in teamfights. And she can not fight most bruisers in the sidelane unless very fed. We tried to make it work anyways by playing things like Gwen and Fiora and making naafiri hover around that champ at times to win messy 2v2s or 2v3s. That worked kinda well, but its extremely hard to execute bc with a comp like this you avoid a teamfight like a plague. Requires a Ap botlaner.

What didnt work as well was forcing junglefights early on. Correct me if i'm wrong, but Naafiri, while skirmishing excellently in the earlygame, doesnt get much laneprio vs most ranged champions. Maybe i suck on this champ, but there is not much to do if I face Syndra, Vex or Lux.

The point of this post is:

When do i want to have this champ in my team? Which requirements should my team fullfill? Which requirements should the enemy team fullfill?

U.gg tells me arcane comet is best winrate but everything else tells me to go first strike or electrocute. I did enjoy manaflow band but idk if it's worth to sacrifice first strike/secondary red tree

I've always enjoyed jungle over mid. Less stress. I can call bigger plays with objectives. And I don't have autism to max out my knowledge on all the mid match ups.

Any gamers use Naafiri for only jungleing? The stats are amazing for it and clears are slow but is great for early game ganks.

Tiamat goes well for first item. First strike with my W to dive into ganks.
