Riot had every opportunity to make Naafiri a human hybrid, and they didn't, and I'm so glad they didn't.

[phaxom_]

man, the darkin themes never cease to be pure bangers

[legoshirocha]

Champion Themes are one of my favorites releases on League. I just love the art behind it and the story it portrays.

[MasterCipher]

3:04 Man, the way they incorporate a jackal-like laugh with the instruments is so thematically awesome.

[Avarice_Alt]

I love the juxtaposition between the heavy metal and naafiri getting pet.

[sabuffu]

Gives a Darkin vibe, a sinister and strong one.

[WolfQueenLydia]

Omg those concept art themes were jawdropping. A little sad we couldnt see all of them coz they were all incredible.

[DojaCatVIE]

You know the riot music team will always deliver no matter what

[NekoToChiru]

The theme is amazing
But also seeing every single details behind her creation (music, design, gameplay) is reallyyy cool compared to other trailers

[sweatyslapfight]

1:20 man, the idea of Naafari playing like an rts or a true pack/horde is so dope. Would have probably broken league but still seems very fun in concept

[Jabalor]

Seeing all the concept art and backstage things in this video really makes me feel like Naafiri was made with love and not just rushed like some previous champions

[GatorHunter]

That's the deadliest theme that has brought a strong connection to Naafiri. Bravo.

[Dopaminenotfound]

I needed the full version of her theme the second I heard it in the trailer. The music team at Riot never dissapoints with their creations and this one is no different. Amazing as always!

2:40 strings goes crazy on this like hounds coming to their prey

[cloudshifter]

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.

[VioletElite]

I like how it's the behind the scenes footage about how you guys made the champ, not just the animated splash art of them, thank you!

[toopinkdeath]

so uh nobody gonna talk about how there's a real life replica of Naafiri somewhere in the world?

[davidhayward]

I'm really gonna sink my teeth into this absolute banger.

[lovell]

bro imagine you are that treasure hunter that carefully prepared to handle a darkin weapon but died to a pack of desert dogs 💀💀

[Kevvin_xP]

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
