In League of Legends, a champion does something unusual. A special Darkin champion is now banned almost as often as Zed. Currently, Naafiri dominates two lanes and is quite annoying. MeinMMO reveals what lies behind it.
Which champion is it about? In the fascinating world of League of Legends, a special champion has caused a stir and now plays a special role: Almost as often as the feared ban king Zed, a very special Darkin champion is now being banned from the field.
This rising star bears the resounding name “Naafiri” and turns the previous power dynamics in League of Legends upside down.
If you want to test your knowledge of League of Legends, take a look at some interesting facts about the game that only hardcore veterans know:
Naafiri is at the top of the ban list, just ahead of Zed
But what makes Naafiri so extraordinary and powerful? She has proven to be a true all-round weapon that can dominate in 3 different roles. Whether in the jungle, on the top or middle lane – currently she is mainly holding her own on top and mid and in an impressive way.
The latest statistics from U.GG show that Naafiri, with a ban rate of 39.5% (as of 03.09.23), is closely following Zed, who currently has a ban rate of 39.7% (as of 03.09.23).
Naafiri, the hound of a hundred bites, is one of the Darkin champions like Kayn and Varus. Unlike the assassin Zed, her gameplay is said to be easier to learn. Naafiri represents a beginner-friendly assassin that, however, requires some skill to fully exploit her potential.
Her ability to quickly move through dashes and the additional speed boost she receives in her ultimate ability makes her a danger and gives her incredible mobility. This poses a challenge for some ADC players and mages.
Another aspect that makes Naafiri so strong is her relative novelty in the game. Many players have not yet fully understood how to play effectively against her. Over time, her strength is likely to stabilize as more League of Legends players see through her kit and develop countermeasures. Especially on the top lane, she currently shows remarkable dominance.
It remains extremely exciting to observe how Naafiri’s development progresses this season and whether she will maintain her fixed place in the ranking of the most frequently banned champions.
For die-hard Naafiri fans, this might be disappointing news, as she is difficult to play in ranked mode due to her frequent banning.
What do you think about Naafiri? Should she be strengthened in the jungle, or is she well placed on the lanes? Do you think she is balanced in her current state?
