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.
