No champion is rushed, not lately at least. But Naafiri is one of the better designed champs as of late. Sett, Naafiri, and Vex were all super well designed and kept simple, while also keeping up with the league champs. Now are their numbers themselves balanced? I would certainly say Sett isn't with that much true damage, but it's clear, it's indicative, and easy to understand that you screwed up not because the champ was 200 years designed.

Fresh from the oven. I really love how Riots making absolutely different music for EACH of the champion and they never fail to give the right vibe to each of them

I love the heavy wibes of the song when they are showcasing her petting animation

Honestly I love naafiris design. They could have gone the sif route and made her hold the dagger, but that really doesn't have a pack feel. I like the idea of a being splitting and shattering into this pack of wolves that tears its victims apart, while still having the sly charm of scar from the lion king. Seriously hats off to the design theme for making the most lovable eldritch abomination of flesh and iron.

@sirith9157

Sif works in it's own story and themes but for Naafiri? There's no way it could work. She's stuck in very nice balance between spiky and metallic esthetic of Darkins and a dog, because... You know, her vessel is a dog after all. The blades around her neck give her that uncanny look and her head... Or face I should say(?) have a semblance of human futures (not counting her "earring"). It just works so well together. If only Riot design team head more freedom in making champions we would've more champions like her. I don't mean monster like - but it's still great - but more interesting. 17th thicc babe with guns isn't an interesting design riot, stop being 13 years old...

most people use auto login so there is no need to have those login screens, although they were cool

Using shots/vids from different development stages is such a smart way to showcase the design and the process, all with the upside of the champ theme

God, they make me so hype a pack of bladed dogs is way to metal

One of the hardest themes they have ever made.

It's crazy how much you can elevate a character with a good music track and a few good ideas meshed. The entire design is basically "dog + kitchen knife". I've noticed this alot lately with alot of indie characters as well lately especially in games. Characters that would otherwise be forgettable or just ok are paired with a collab song and that made them recognisable characters in the indie industry.

After a champion like Milio, it’s a breath of fresh air to see such a well designed champion that’s a darkin. Now get to BaalKux please 😂

Man, I waited for her main theme so loong. Banger!

A banger, as always. It's also great to see the full credits of who was playing what instrument in the description. Shows just what goes into this!

Long time ago, I had a nightmare where some kind of wolf creature sliced me in half with mouth. Now I’m sure Naafiri was that wolf in my nightmare. I will main her for sure

The track is great and the insights into the production are rly dope as well!

Naafiri probably is my favorite Darkin theme now. It was soooo sick. Varus needs an ASU stat so he can have a cool metal/rock guitar theme to match the others. Also it was super cool to see the music production, that's a first in these concept art videos.

I always look forward for these champion theme videos about concept arts and evolution of original designs
