Naafiri, League of Legends' newest monster champion, is receiving a controversial mid-scope update aimed at transforming her from a simple assassin into a more complex jungler, raising concerns among players about her identity and effectiveness.

Key changes announced by Riot August include:

• Swapping her ultimate with her W ability
• New W: Summons packmates every 20 seconds with brief invulnerability
• New Ultimate: Long-range dash attack similar to Nocturne's ultimate
• E ability: Shorter cooldown, longer range, cursor-targeted
• Adjusted damage ratios: Decreased against players, increased against monsters

Player concerns center around three main issues:

1. Loss of mid-lane viability due to jungle-focused changes
2. Reduced mobility and reliability in basic abilities
3. Lack of meaningful skill expression despite the update's stated goals

The changes will be available for testing on the PBE server in an upcoming update, though current Naafiri mid players should prepare for a significant shift in playstyle.
