Riot recently revealed Naafiri, the hound of a hundred bites, to the League of Legends player base. This is going to be the next champion on Summoner's Rift and she will be a mid lane assassin. What does this mean? She's got a lot of dashes and mobility.

Riot were also looking to make an easy assassin, since many are difficult to pick up at first. Now, with Naafiri's abilities revealed, the community have laid down the judgment ahead of her release onto the PBE.

LoL Naafiri Revealed And Community Reacts

Naafiri is going to be a simple mid lane champion. Her kit is filled with mobility and thanks to her passive she's going to have a lot of help from her pack whenever she goes in for a fight.

While Naafiri is squishy, she does deal a lot of damage. The tricky part with her kit will be to find the right angle at which to go in for the kill with. So you're going to have to be able to position well, but pulling off a combo should be pretty simple.

Now, what does the community think of this, though? Overall, it seems that most players are excited for the champion, especially thanks to her design. Naafiri is the first creature champion we've had for a while and unlike Yuumi, she is not just some cute animal.

Most players on both YouTube and Reddit praised Riot on the visual design of Naafiri. Many players had worried that she would have some form of human form as well, which won't be the case this time.

On the other hand, fans are worried over how easy she might be and how strong her abilities could be. Especially ADC mains are quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing off against Naafiri, since well... she is practically designed to eat them alive with ease.

With the amount of dashes she's got, she will be very mobile, but unlike previously released champs like K'Sante she isn't a tank with a kit full of CC and mobility and damage as well so she shouldn't be as out of control as the top laner.
