How to Use Naafiri Counter Data
This page ranks the Naafiri matchups that matter for the JUNGLE role in League of Legends, based on actual ranked win-rate data rather than subjective takes. Right now Talon, Pantheon, and Riven give Naafiri the most trouble, producing its weakest win rates in the current data. Talon is the hardest counter of the three: Naafiri has won only 41.3% of 264 recorded games against it. In contrast, Naafiri does well against Olaf, Ryze, and LeBlanc, so those are the safer matchups to take on.
Every card displays Naafiri’s win rate along with the number of games it’s drawn from. A matchup backed by tens of thousands of games deserves more confidence than one built on a few hundred. The Easy, Even, and Hard tags are derived from the win rate itself, with anything under 48% marked Hard and anything over 52% marked Easy. They’re meant to help you scan quickly and aren’t a separate statistic. The data covers ranked games at Emerald and above from every region, reflects patch 16.13.1, and updates every 48 hours, so it shifts as the meta does.
