So something that somewhat hidden with Naafiri and stridebreaker is that if you use stridebreaker during the W (whilst youre flying toward the enemy) on landing the enemy will be slowed by 99% for 3 seconds As of 14.21 the stridebreaker interaction got patched out.

[@ivanmurad4110]

Really? Didnt know that actually

[@notaig2132]

wasnt it a bug they recently fixed?

it was wukong who got the penta, her picture just lined up. i thought it was leona who got it at first too lol

[@EcoreLoL]

LOL weird timing XD

[@Liger-Inuzuka]

The reason Naafiri is unpopular is because despite Riot's goal to make her an easy and simple Assassin to teach you the assassin play style she is deceptively meticulous due to her passive. While she looks cool as hell and makes you actually feel like a pack of wolves, those dogs are a double edge sword with all the specific ways they can mess you up. Unlike other pet champions the dogs flank the champion in formation, and while that means you can "sort of" position them to block skillshots ot means you sont have fine motor control and they can proc traps loke shrooms even if you are careful. In lane so many mid laners can abuse the dogs, like Malzahar proccing poison and it auto jumps to you for free poke. Zilean is the same woth bombs. Tristana can proc her explosive passive off your dogs so she pushes and gets prio while you lose farm potential and prio. Smolder and Asol get stacks like theyre minions. Irelia is the worst match up because you have free ways to let her dash to you and beat your ass. All in all Naafiri has to play keep away eith her dogs meanwhile some AOE spells can wipe your ultimate and youre left with a wasted spell. Naafiri uses multiplicity as a playstyle, think about Xayah and her feathers. But Xayah can interact eith jer feathers by chosing to use them, place them, recall them, and are untargettable to enemies. Naafiri can not interact with her passive beyond ulting, sometimes in lane you have to literally wait for them to spawn. These arent really horrible facets of her design, theyre just really unique specifics and by the time a player learns all this and struggles they might as well play Talon as an easy mid laner who has no such delicate specificities and is more reliable.

[@Kaninjäveln]

You describing how the lil doggos can fuck you over made me giggle a bit. Since now the Naafiri emoji referring to "Laughing Wolves" meme, makes all the more sense 🤣

[@Nisenziart]

I love Naafiri. My favourite mid. And also I did 2 pentas on her! And I really don't know why Firi is so unpopular, when she's assassin+bruzzer combined, it's cool design

[@askkedladd]

I don't play her as often because I feel bad popping off as her every game. Even when your team lose, you'd still be popping off

this video is so well made, shame it doesnt get the views it should, good video ! excited to see the viego video now !

[@EcoreLoL]

It will don’t worry XD

[@ColetheFlame01]

Awesome video and yeah Naafiri can definitely be a jungler, but its kinda like Nocturne where you're more used as a more roaming pick champ not so much a fast clear champ. Naafiri is obviously good at just blowing opponents up, and letting her loose in Jungle frees her up to do just that.

[@corvoyami3192]

Nocturne's clear is crazy fast wdym?

[@ColetheFlame01]

@@corvoyami3192 sure but Nocturne's main power is in his ability to just gank and literally fly in from outta nowhere on to a target and delete them, similar to Naafiri with her W.

@@ColetheFlame01 nocturnes main power is that he can gank easily WHILE just clearing around the map for maximum gold income.

1:35 dude I LITERALLY played my first game on naafiri, inted the hell out of my game and then carried like a god Ive found my main

[@serikwhite5605]

Try Opportunity first item - Naafiri has great waveclear with q and e already, so the extra damage from hydra isn't super necessary. Opportunity allows for more roaming potential, still provides a decent chunk of AD and Lethality, and lets you escape bad situations a little easier.

[@jaredroux879]

He already gets a nerf next patch

[@extremec9597]

[@Velferr]

hell yea, naafiri vid 🔥🔥🙏🙏

[@Nelro.]

Ah, Naafiri, my beloved. Very fun champ.

[@antiloompa8338]

You should check out Briar. On the surface she's just an all in machine that either carries or ints. But below the surface there's a huge amount of skill expression in choosing battles and builds, with bruiser, crit, Lethality and even tank all being viable.

[@EcoreLoL]

I think she is an all in machine that either carries or ints BUT ALSO has a lot of skill expression (even after you get good you still int sometimes XD)

[@jojofrog]

Naafiri is definitely one of my favorite champions

[@wilkham2678]

The Bruiser build is so much better this patch. Cause if you play full lethality, if you don't one shot the bruiser/tank/adc just kinda win.

[@Arazzju]

Nafiri manages to make the herald's eye open very quickly

[@Geist1337]

"Into lethality items like Serylda's Grudge" 😢

[@EcoreLoL]

Well it used to be then it was reworked XD

[@freshlyspeed_gaming5797]

[@ordazabidan]

As 1 of the 3 people who play naafiri i like to w and then use e to jump either behind or beside the enemy before doing double q or q attack q

[@EcoreLoL]

But the first Q is so easy after 2. I feel like if you flip to another side you can mess up sometimes

[@nicolasvillasecaali7662]

the Dogo journey!

[@spinlin113]

The whole reason why I started playing Naafiri is because the SoulFighter skin had such a compelling colour pallette. And then I fell in love with her kit. Now I am obsessed with playing her top for some reason

[@soulsemblance3163]

What about jungle? And what elo do you usually pick her in?

[@spinlin113]

@soulsemblance3163 Jungle Naafiri is a lot of fun too. I like how healthy her clear is. I don't play ranked a whole lot though so I'm not sure about the elo. Whenever I do play the enemy ranges from Bronze to Diamonds somehow.

[@EcoreLoL]

All those skins are awesome

[@LorenzzoVidal]

Liked the Blawg so much bro took 15 hours instead of 10

[@jthrone7768]

Don’t know if they’ve fixed it yet, but there’s a bugged interaction where you could piggyback stridebreaker off her W slow for a 3 second 99% slow for the longest time. I used it with bruiser build.

[@EcoreLoL]

Yeah I specifically DIDNT use that (I did 1 game to see and I only did it 1 time in that game. Don’t wanna get in trouble promoting a bug)

[@lumikosaki3401]

naafiri my beloved

[@SmallOneEyedKing]

Well, she is a Darkin lore wise, her power level.is godlike. And since she is the Pack, she is a one dog Army.

[@gugizhu2890]

dude the dog puns..

[@ElMarlish]

You didn't mention, if you do a little back step during fights, your dogs will go in front of you and therefore also bock skillshots :) without you committing any spells for that purpose ! Think of it as when you try to dodge trynda's slow or cassio's ult, that little step you make to look the other way for a second, if you do it with naafiri the doggies will move in front of you because they're always trying to be behind you when walking, hence protecting you from incoming skillshots :)!

[@EcoreLoL]

Oh that’s true cause they always are behind you you can flip them around

[@yepdom]

[@fabiopinotti5705]

Very cool video

[@tannercochran6872]

Been playing her the past couple of days. My reasoning for picking her; 1) no one knows what she does because no one plays her and 2) I’m tired of these over sexualizing champs and just wanted to play something different. I’m 9-1 with her and mostly in the jg. It’s been a blast.

[@Gabriel-ip1no]

[@ThatsNickDaGreek]

[@thepinkchicken247]

Would love to see a Zed video!!

[@corvoyami3192]

Didn't he make one already?

[@EcoreLoL]

It’s in 2 videos

[@PipPanoma]

One thing you didn't mention but really turned me off on this champion is that a lot of your damage is tied to your second Q. However there is a fixed cooldown before you can cast it. If you Q1 right after your W, you will not be able to cast Q2 immediately. By the time you have done your E the opponent can react with whatever mobility they have and you miss Q2 and the kill.

[@EgoCZ]

It turned you off that champion has counterplay?

[@EcoreLoL]

That’s true… but it’s pretty easy as long as they don’t have flash and you can use your E to make it easier with a dash…

[@buzaspeter6960]

I think its time for a less straightforward champion like bard or Azir! Love these videos btw!!!

[@lukakadagishvili-s3l]

naafiri is straightforward?

[@buzaspeter6960]

@@lukakadagishvili-s3l You click w and burst combo, then either the enemy dies or you die. The gameplay pattern is pretty basic imo. Also, when the champ came out riot also said that Naafiri is a low skillcap champion, so yes I believe Naafiri is straightforward.

[@crooked53]

same thing with asol you can never get the q burst you can only deal 50% dmg because there's more then one target

[@蔚藍-q9e]

Naafiri use Hail of Blades very good

[@kanatatchutumstid6730]

Tricks For Naafiri Jg to clear faster 1. Smite sooner cuz QQ do more damage base on missing health 2. Leave the camp sooner than usual and let your dog finish the camp or throw the second Q to finish the camp, your dog will keep attacking camp for 3 sec so just throw Q while you leave to extend that. 3. If you plan to full clear (and you should) don't level up W until level 4 just Put 2 point in Q and 1 in E for most damage output since W deal less damage and have way too long cool down 4.Use E to hop over the wall for shortcut or if you E is not available you can throw Q to camp and your dog will pounce to them and provide vision and you can W to camp for shortcut as well she is capable of jg role it just a bit tricky to do first full clear. Ton of Healing, Mobility to move over the wall, Point and click gap closer, Ult that provide vision for objective stealing. Your dog to tank hit for you. Nah bro don't tell me that doesn't sound like amazing kit for assasin jg

[@ijustwant7407]

The reason for her low play rate, at least in my opinion, is that she is very straightforward champions like garen and anny and her skill isnt flashy and she isnt meta right now

[@boggart1062]

She's too telegraphed, in higher mmr you just end up having your dash blocked by the support/tank and dying for nothing. In lane she can be decent as a counter pick but she also struggles against passive play, since she can't poke without shoving the wave and her Q 2 makes up a lot of her damage.

Amazing video as always! But theres a bug abusing "mechanic" that i dont believe was patched with Naafiri, Stridebreaker is actually in the bruiser build because Naafiri w applies 99% slow for like half a second, but using Stridebreaker after Naafiri w makes the 99% slow last as long as the Stridebreaker slow (so 99% slow for 2 or 3 seconds idk the exact duration of Stridebreaker slow)
