Riot Games has announced the first information about the next patch. The newest champion Naafiri can expect some changes.

The first information for the new League of Legends patch 13.16 has been announced. The new champion Naafiri is the focus and is to be generated, along with four other champions.

Why does Naafiri hit Riot’s nerf hammer?

The Naafiri Nerfs were supposed to be paused since their winrate had actually stabilized.

However, LoL’s lead designer “Matt “Phroxzon” Leung-Harrison has now announced that Naafiri will still get mitigations in the next patch.

13.16! Duskblade is a hot topic as it’s picking up on non-assassins like Illaoi, Aatrox, Yorick, etc.. We’re bringing down its power and bringing up some of the weaker items in the assassin system

Naafiri was adjusted with a hotfix shortly after her release and, until patch 13.15, her winrate remained very stable as a result. General changes that did not affect Naafiri’s base stats ensured that she reached the top of the champions in League of Legends.

Her winrate on the mid-lane, according to (U.GG), thus increased to 52.41 percent and is similar to her winrate on the to-lane.

Which champions still expect nerfs?

Shyvana’s AD build will receive a significant nerf, alongside Naafiri. She didn’t overperform in Platinum or higher. However, she is a consistently strong champion across patch 13.14 and 13.15.

We’ve summarized other champions and items that will be adjusted here:
