Could Nami get an armor and mr buff?
While the new runes have given people a lot of damage, with several utility/mage supports like
and
being among them, there's a utility sup who I've found is having a much rougher time of it,
.
Nami is among my two favorite champions (Along with
) but I have found myself unable to use her much for the past two seasons due to various reasons (Not the least of which being everyone else on my team refusing to pick a durable champ, leaving me to pick up the slack on that front) but when I did use her I would use a rune page of AP quints, flat MR glyphs and armor marks and seals. The AP was to help her damage and healing and everything else was to help with her squishiness.
Nami has historically been an incredibly balanced champion and I like to think this is because she's a very fair utility support due to how her skills work, her hard CC is on a skillshot, her E slow is applied by autos so you must kite to apply it to someone chasing you or be in range of retaliation to apply it aggressively, and most importantly her W has a high mana cost and loses a lot of efficiency if you do not bounce it at least once. Nami cannot sit in the backline all game like a
or
and her damage is not like that of someone like
who can chunk you from far away.
This leads me to my topic question. I would like it if Riot would increase her base armor and mr, not a drastic amount but enough to take the edge off of all the damage that's in the game right now. As I have already explained, she can't fall back on a purely passive playstyle like Soraka or Janna and her poke requires her to get close to the enemy, this is a problem with the current damage of the game because she has to take more risks to use her kit efficiently than those utility supports with long ranged poke skills.
I do not think it is too much to ask that she get a bit more resistances to help her deal with this, she's horribly squishy now that I can no longer take defensive runes.
