Nami is broken

Deals more damage than mage supports, heals more than Raka and is overloaded with CC.

Surprised that there were no nerfs to this champion this patch.

Nami is very mechanically intensive and has a high skill ceiling.

Ehh she isn't that demanding, but if you are good it just makes playing her feel that much better.

Thats a lie. If anything raka takes more skill than nami by a long shot.

Nami quietly becoming one of the best support champions in the game.

Definitely getting to the point where she might need a minor nerf or two, but nothing significant.

I also agree with Colton - she is much harder to play then say, Janna.

Also, she does nowhere NEAR as much damage as full blown AP Supports. Annie Karma Lux Morgana Sona Velkoz Xerath Zyra

Only three out of that list are actual supports. Four if you count Zyra, but she was designated as a mid laner.

The rest are AP mid lane mages that can be taken bot lane but aren't considered supports.

I think myself and majority of the community would disagree with you on the 'arent considered support fronts'.

Every one can be picked and played viably up to about high platinum levels of play.

Again, I said they can be played bot lane, but aren't considered ACTUAL supports.

Annie- mid laner.

Lux- mid laner.

Vel-Koz- mid laner.

Xerath- mid laner.

Brand- well mid laner but people have been abusing him in the bot lane because of his high base damages.

Zyra- was made a mid laner but is balanced for both now.

Come with facts and actual numbers that "majority of the community" would disagree with me cause I sure as hell think the opposite.

I know a simple op.gg search will illicit a "psh, of course he would say that" so I'll save you the time: I love Nami. When I discovered her, I went from bronze 2 to silver 1 almost overnight. I think she is the most fun champion in the game.

Enough gushing though. She is a mage support. Unless if you are comparing her to Brand or Zyra, in which case, that is not true. A decent Brand or Zyra should always out damage her unless Nami absolutely wrecks you in lane.

As far as healing more than Raka, also untrue. Soraka has an all team, nearly half their health heal. Plus her E (I think) which is purely healing. Not to mention the healing she gets from landing her Q then healing her allies.

Nami has her W. For most of her damage and all her healing.

I won't argue the CC. She does have two forms, which is above average. She has her bubble, which is undeniably one of the hardest skillshots in the game to land. And her ultimate that seems to move about as fast as I do when someone says "let's go for a run".

Nami is kind of a jack of all trades master of none.

I'm not trying to argue that she is underpowered by any means either. I think Nami is in a great spot, honestly one of the most balanced champions in the game.

I'm just saying, you can't just vaguely list everything that a champion does, exaggerate it and expect to have made a well thought out point.
