Nami's Laning Phase

I believe that Nami's laning phase is far too strong. Her Q is fine and her E is fine, but her W is far too powerful throughout the early game. Any attempt to trade with her is useless as she instantly heals off any damage I do to her and chunks my health bar along with it. I'm okay with the healing aspect, that's her job and her strength, but the ability to do SO much damage early is absurd. I hate playing against this champion and I honestly think she is overtuned in her early game power. I'm sick of laning against this champion, I'm going to ban her every single game until her W is hit with some semblance of balance. I am amazed that I have not heard anyone else bring this up before. Please tell me there are others who feel the same. #rant

Everyone has champs that they despise for one reason or another (mine is personally Blitzcrank and Master Yi). Some kits are just tilting to certain people and with over 140 champs, odds are everyone has at least one champ they find frustrating to play against. IMO to deal with Nami's damage + heal, trade an auto so at least she doesn't get the full healing, and take advantage of the cooldown. If she uses it to harass, she now only really has a bubble to dissuade you. If you can dodge it, she's in for a world of hurt. Also, keep in mind that her w is a point and click ability, so it will draw minion agro. Early game, if you can pull her close into your minion wave when she does it, all you need is 1 or two auto's plus all the minion damage to make her lose the trade.
