Riot Games has given an inside look at League of Legends<\/em>\u2019 next new champion, Naafiri. The champion was teased earlier this year<\/a> and is on track to release at some point in 2023. Today, Riot detailed Naafiri\u2019s playstyle in a Champion Roadmap<\/a> written by lead champion producer Alexia Gao.\u00a0<\/p>
The League <\/em>champion design team made it abundantly clear ever since Naafiri was originally teased<\/a> earlier this year that the champion is an assassin above all other things. The champion is being designed for players \u201cwho want to focus on the hunt,\u201d Gao said. But there should be a world where assassins can pull off the flashy play while still being able to assist their team in the macro game.\u00a0<\/p>
