He’s always been really passionate about a certain type of mythological creature. And then lead designer August Browning saw it. But the team felt like they were losing control over Naafiri’s kit, so they decided to icebox what Riot Twin Enso had uncovered, especially since they felt it was more in-line with a diver/skirmisher’s gameplay rather than an assassin’s. While working on Naafiri, game designer Glenn “Riot Twin Enso” Anderson explored tons of kits with fervent hunger. We’ll be sure to take time to paws and evaluate the results to see if there are other champions who could benefit from a more extensive dive into doge tech during her release! Sating an Insatiable Hunger With the change to assassin gameplay that Naafiri brings, we also built a lot of new tech to accommodate her unique gameplay thematic that should help make it feel more alive, dynamic, and decluttered. We hope to lower the burden of that execution and allow much more concentration on the macro plays with Naafiri. On top of all that, there is still the mechanical execution of the champion’s abilities. There is a lot of higher level game knowledge required to ensure you know when to roam and how to position well-especially knowing when’s the right moment to pounce and crafting an escape plan to get out alive. The assassin role can be an intimidating one to pick up. The Lone Assassin Dies, But the Team SurvivesĪs we previously mentioned, Naafiri is meant for those who want to focus on the hunt. But we’ll keep a close eye on how they perform, what you all think and adapt as needed. Moving forward, the plan is to have a good variety of simple, to complex, and everything in between. Prior to Milio, we released a lineup of champions that, while super unique and interesting, may have indexed harder into higher complexity playstyles. Returning to a simpler-to-play kit made us pretty nostalgic for simpler times, and we want to continue to explore more champions that play similarly. ![]() Since last time, we released our Ixtali enchanter: Milio, the Gentle Flame-a back-to-basics enchanter with comfortingly familiar abilities that still feel unique to who he is. It’s been a while since we did a Champion Roadmap in written form, and it’s always good to sit down and write a bit about my favorite thing for League: champions!. ![]() Hey everyone! Lexi "Riot Lexical" Gao here, and I'm back again with an update.
