Naafiri has been revealed and she looks incredible. She is going to be the first full creature champion since Yuumi, but unlike the support kitten Naafiri is going to be a scary looking grotesque creature that resembles a dog.

Of course, this means that players want to know the most important thing about her. Can you pet her? There is a whole Twitter dedicated to this question and we're going to see whether Riot did the right thing and let us pet Naafiri or if players are going to be greatly disappointed.

Can You Pet The Newest LoL Champion Naafiri?

Naafiri is a dog champion. She has become part of a pack of hounds from Shurima and through this bond she has learned that working together in a pack is superior to working alone. This has been revealed in her champion trailer already.

Her whole kit is also going to be focusing on her and her pack, with new hounds spawning through her passive and her packmates continuously attacking for her and with her.

With so many doggos on the screen we've had to ask ourselves, will we be able to pet Naafiri?

Of course you're going to be able to pet Naafiri! There is an interaction with this champion that will let you pet her, but the developers have stated that they're going to let players figure it out themselves without outright telling them what they need to do to pet Naafiri.
