Conversely, the recently introduced champion, Naafiri, is being nerfed due to her excessive power in recent weeks. Riot is reducing her damage and survivability to create balance within the game and among the other champions. Additionally, jungle experience is being adjusted to create a more level playing field and to assist junglers in keeping up with the rest of the team.
