Naafiri's new mid-scope update in League of Legends has sparked controversy among players due to significant changes to her kit and playstyle. Originally designed as a beginner-friendly assassin, Naafiri has struggled with low pick and play rates since her release.

Key changes in the update include:

• W ability becomes her new ultimate, allowing her to latch onto enemies from range (similar to Nocturne)
• Previous W (pack summoning) becomes a regular ability with 20-second cooldown
• E ability now has shorter cooldown, longer range, and cursor-targeted positioning
• Reduced damage against players but increased damage against jungle monsters
• Shift from mid-lane assassin to jungle-focused champion

Player concerns include:

• Loss of mid-lane viability
• Similarity to Nocturne's ultimate ability
• Lack of promised skill expression in new kit
• Reduced mobility and reliability
• Visual downgrade of ultimate ability impact

The changes will be available for testing on PBE soon, allowing players to experience the reworked Naafiri firsthand before final implementation.
