Riot Games has released the official patch notes for 13.16. The newest champion Naafiri is the focus of Riot.

The new champion Naafiri is the focus and is to be generated, along with four other champions, and a variety of champions buffed. In addition, there will be various item changes that will have an impact on the meta.

Why does Naafiri hit Riot’s nerf hammer?

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

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 her winrate remained, until patch 13.15, 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 thus increased to 52.41 percent, according to (U.GG), 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.
