League of Legends’ latest champion has been revealed, with Riot Games finally unveiling Naafiri and her Hounds of Iron with a flashy cinematic on June 21. Naafiri is an assassin who hunts and attacks her prey as a pack of Dune Hounds, both in lore and on the Rift—and she should be easy for eager League gamers to play.
Riot’s goal with the Hound of a Hundred Bites was to create a League champion that was fully a creature, a mid-lane assassin whose gameplay focuses on macro play, and—perhaps most importantly—is a low-complexity pick.
