Notes[edit | edit source]
- Packmates will die with Naafiri when she does.
- Packmates level up with Naafiri.
- Packmates dynamically override their attack speed and movement speed values with Naafiri's.
- Packmates cannot have their attack speed and movement speed values be modified on their own, with one exception:
- They gain a movement speed boost when approximately 400-450 or more units away from Naafiri while she moves away from them. The boost scales based on how far away she is, capping at a total of 1000 movement speed with a proximity of 700 units.
- When Naafiri enters a
brush, Packmates increase their movement speed to 800 and 
dash to the brush's location if it is within approximately 450 units. This dash can surpass terrain although the Packmates will not dash if they are not already within dash range. In that case, they will navigate and path around the terrain towards the brush.
- Packmates cannot have their attack speed and movement speed values be modified on their own, with one exception:
- Packmates are summoned before Naafiri to the right, left, or backside of her and will follow her in an arrow-like formation that resembles a pack of wolves.
- If Naafiri enters
stealth, her Packmates will do so as well. - After Naafiri completes a
Recall, 
Teleport, or Gate channel, Packmates will 
blink to her location at the destination. - Packmates cannot perform Pouncing Assault while
immobilized, 
grounded, or 
silenced, but they may still blink from 
The Call of the Pack and 
Eviscerate.

Patch history[edit | edit source]
- For the expanded patch notes, see here.
We Are More
- Bug Fix: Move orders no longer persist on Packmates if the player issues a move order within a tiny radius of their current position, allowing the ordered Packmates to freely leave Naafiri's radius of influence and remain at their destination location indefinitely so long as the player does not issue a new move order (which would subsequently cause the Packmates to re-calculate their distance from Naafiri's radius of influence and return to her).

basic attack animation that must play out in order to launch it. For 
projectile basic attacks, the windup usually aligns with drawing the projectile on-screen.The attack windup is displayed as a percentage, and any windup modifier is listed as a decimal next to it.
The Attack speed ratio (AS ratio) adjusts the effectiveness of bonus AS from all sources. It is usually equal to the unit's base AS (level 1 with no bonuses), but tuning to a higher or lower relative value translates to more or less bonus AS received compared to other units with the same base AS.
(All values in decimal form)
The ingame stats HUD displays the AS ratio instead of base AS to communicate this comparative effectiveness. The Wiki opts to always list both stats and show the AS ratio as "N/A" if the two are equal.
Gameplay radiusA unit's gameplay radius is a stat that most closely resembles the concept of a 'hitbox', and is the radius used for 
edge range effects, which include basic attacks, line collision missiles, rectangular AOEs, and others. The gameplay radius determines the reach of both incoming and outgoing effects: for example, enemies are within a unit's 
basic attack range based on the edge of their gameplay radius and vice versa.
Selection radiusA unit's selection radius is a stat that determines the horizontally furthest point from the center of their model that other players' cursor is allowed to be, while still maintaining the ability to select that unit.
Selection heightGameplay in League of Legends takes place in two dimensions no matter the visuals. However, a virtual height dimension that is perpendicular to the ground creates the game's three-dimensional view, which in combination with the camera's perspective necessitates the usage of the selection height.
Acquisition radiusA unit's acquisition range is a stat that determines the distance at which they will acquire attack targets when a target unit is not specified by the player.
- Auto-attacking automatically orders an idle champion to acquire enemies within this range. This can be disabled in the Settings.
- Attack-move commands scan for targets within this range while moving toward a given location.
Attack range bonuses modify the champion's acquisition range by the same amount.
MiddleWithin a drafted team, the Mid Laner is the champion assigned to the mid lane.
Burst Mages, Artillery Mages, and 
Assassins are the most likely champions to be selected in the Mid Laner position.
AssassinAssassins specialize in infiltrating enemy lines with their unrivaled mobility to quickly dispatch high-priority targets. Due to their mostly melee nature, Assassins must put themselves into dangerous positions in order to execute their targets. Luckily, they often have defensive tricks up their sleeves that, if used cleverly, allow them to effectively avoid incoming damage.
- Examples
Assassin (Legacy)
Fighter (Legacy)Fighters are durable and damage-focused melee champions that look to be in the thick of combat.
Mana
Mana (also known as MP) is a stat that is the resource of many champions necessary to cast most of their abilities. Mana can be restored via mana regeneration and some abilities, items, runes, and buffs.
Mana is represented in-game by the blue bar within the HUD, indicating the champion's current mana and maximum mana. Current mana is reduced by expenditure through paying an ability's mana cost.
MeleeMelee champions have a basic attack range usually within 200 units. A melee attack does not use a projectile to deal damage, therefore not subject to effects that mitigate projectiles, like 
Wind Wall. Some champions can shift between a ranged and melee form, and certain items/runes differ for melee characters.
ChampionChampions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.
MonsterMonsters are neutral units in League of Legends. Unlike minions, monsters do not fight for either team, and will only do so if aggroed (provoked) – with the exception of the 
Rift Scuttler, which simply runs away when attacked.

Centered rangeCentered range is calculated from the center of a source unit's hitbox to the center of a target unit's hitbox.
- Centered range is used for most unit-targeted abilities.
- It is less effective and may seem to have diminished reach against large units.
Edge rangeEdge range is calculated from the edge of a source unit's hitbox to the edge of a target unit's hitbox.
- Edge range is mostly used for basic attacks; skill shots; and point-blank areas of effect (including auras).
- These become more effective against large champions, as the source gains more reach against them. This may be favorable or unfavorable: durable champions tend to be larger and thus easier to hit, and frail champions tend to be smaller and more difficult to hit.
ChampionChampions are the player-controlled characters in League of Legends. Each champion possesses unique abilities and attributes.
Heal
current health, but never above their maximum health.
Outgoing heals can trigger bonus effects from 
Summon Aery, 
Ardent Censer, and 
Staff of Flowing Water.
MinionMinions are autonomous units that spawn periodically from their nexus and advance along the lanes toward the enemy nexus. They basic attack any enemy unit or structure they find in their way, but can be killed for gold.
There are four kind of minions: 
melee minions, 
caster minions, 
siege minions and 
super minions.
MonsterMonsters are neutral units in League of Legends. Unlike minions, monsters do not fight for either team, and will only do so if aggroed (provoked) – with the exception of the Rift Scuttler, which simply runs away when attacked.
Area damageArea damage is the damage type dealt by most area of effect abilities, as well as a select few basic attacks, items and runes. Area damage is not exclusive to being applied by purely 
physical, 
magic or 
true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.
- Spell vamp heals with one-third effectiveness.
- Many items effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of area damage (i.e. ability effects).
- For example:
Rylai's Crystal Scepter, 
Liandry's Torment and 
Luden's Companion. - Compared to single target spell damage, area damage does not trigger
Muramana.
- For example:
Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 10% whenever you deal an instance of area damage to a champion.- Area damage is reduced by 25% versus
Jax's 
Counter Strike. - Many champion summoned units such as
Elise's 
Spiderlings, 
Yorick's 
Mist Walkers, and 
Naafiri's Dune Hounds take reduced damage from area damage.
Effects triggered by damage subtypes will occur (i.e. physical, magic or true).
Physical damage- Applies:
- Mitigated by:
- Damage shields
Invulnerability- Damage reduction
Armor
Physical shields
Death's Dance
Untargetable
Becoming untargetable will interrupt acqusition. This also causes non-champions to lose aggro. Many untargetabilities additionally 
destroy all incoming unit-targeted projectiles.
Vanish untargetability, vanish briefly hides a unit from the game's renderer, which causes it to become completely undetectable and invisible even to effects such as 
Oracle Lens. Vanished units are 
unable to act. As with all untargetability, 
tethers will still persist on a target that vanishes.
Vanish is not considered stealth and does not interact with 
sight effects.
BlinkA blink refers to a form of movement whereby a unit displaces from point A to B without traversing the space between.
DashThe game engine does not take into account the height of the unit; dashes that depict air travel are considered to be on the ground for targeting purposes such as skill-shots.
- Dashes should not be confused with
displacement effects, which are usually sourced from enemy units (and are classified as crowd control debuffs). - Dashes are interrupted by
stasis (from an enemy), 
knockdown, and blinks. - Dashes are overridden by all move blocks, which includes displacements and other dashes, as well as a few other cases.
- Not all dashes can traverse terrain (e.g.
Justice Punch, 
Searing Charge, 
Tumble). - Some dashes gain increased distance when directed through terrain (e.g.
Umbral Dash, 
Perfect Execution, 
Phantom Undertow).
Sight
center range. A line of vision cannot extend beyond terrain or an unrevealed brush.
Sight can also refer to an effect that makes a unit visible regardless of the fog of war or brush, allowing them to be targeted. 
Standard sight cannot see stealthed units, but 
True Sight can.
Nearsight is a crowd control debuff that inhibits sight; allied vision is lost in addition to a reduced sight radius.
Obscured vision is similar to sight in a way that it can observe units, but does not render units targetable, rather it exposes their position and informs of their presence.
Unobstructed vision is a form of sight that allows a unit to be able to see their full vision radius, ignoring any obstructions that would otherwise restrict visibility.- All effects that use
unit-targeting require sight of the target. Delayed unit-targeted attacks and spells can cancel if sight of the selected target is suddenly lost.
ChannelA channeled ability is an ability that can be prevented from reaching its conclusion, by the user themself and / or because of other effects.
A charged ability has a channel that is toggled by two activations - the first begins the charging and the second will fire the ability. While using Quick cast, the player must keep the hotkey held down to charge the ability and release to fire. Unlike normal channels, the caster is still able to move freely and cast movement abilities, unless otherwise stated.
A movement channel is a type of channel which also involves the caster moving from their position, usually in the form of traversal such as dashes and blinks. This means the crowd control effects ground and 
root, which both inhibit the activation of movement spells, can interrupt the channel.
The following crowd control effects will interrupt all channels (except uninterruptible ones):
- Airborne
Forced action (
Charm, 
Flee, 
Taunt)- Silence ( Disrupt, Polymorph)
Sleep- Stasis
- Stun ( Suspension)
Suppression
Slow
movement speed for the duration. Slow percentages cannot reduce a target below 110 movement speed. Some slows will instead modify the target's movement speed to a static value, which may not be further reduced nor increased.Only the slow with the highest value is taken into movement speed calculations. All additional slows are ignored until the higher-valued slow wears off. The strength of slows may amplify or decay over their duration. Slows of the same debuff cannot stack and will instead refresh on each application unless otherwise stated.
| Interrupts: | Does not interrupt any actions. |
|---|---|
| Reduction: | The duration is affected by  Tenacity.The strength is reduced by |
| Resist: | Resisted by  crowd control immunity and  slow immunity.
|
| Removal: | Removed by  Cleanses, Garen's  Decisive Strike,  Master Yi's  Highlander and  Nunu's  Biggest Snowball Ever!.
|
Shield health that absorbs the next instances of damage in place of actual health. This can be improved by various items and effects depending on the type of shielding.
Incoming shields can trigger bonus effects from 
Shield Bash. Outgoing shields can trigger bonus effects from Summon Aery, Ardent Censer, and Staff of Flowing Water. Shield reduction effects, exclusively 
Serpent's Fang, reduce all incoming and outgoing shields.
True sightTrue Sight reveals units through Fog of War, brush, and stealth. It does not bypass nearsight effects.
Standard sightStandard sight reveals units through Fog of War and brush, but not stealth. It does not bypass nearsight effects.
Spell damage physical, magic or true damage, and instead can be dealt by any of the three damage sub-types.Many effects are triggered whenever you deal an instance of spell damage. For example:
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter, Liandry's Torment and Luden's Companion.
Omnivamp and 
Physical vamp (where applicable) heal for a percentage of damage dealt.- Arcane Comet's current cooldown is reduced by 20% per instance of spell damage you deal to a champion.
Effects triggered by damage sub-types will occur (e.g. 
Black Cleaver on instances of Physical damage and 
Morellonomicon on instances of Magic damage).
