So recently i decided to make support my main role, and therefore extending my list of champs i can play
From the class of enchenters Nami seems to be the less boring character unlike karma/janna/sona/soraka
Simple question: please post all things i should know before playing Nami
thanks
Deep Terror Nami4 votesNami is best played very aggressively. Win trades by bouncing your heal off them to recover the damage they deal to you while you hit back.
Ebb & Flow is expensive; always try to make it bounce for mana efficiency. Remember that it decreases in strength each bounce, so figure out if you want to prioritize healing or damage before you cast. It also only bounces twice, so cast it as a heal if you want to heal 2 targets, as damage if you want to damage 2 targets.
Learn the enemy's pattern of dodging Aqua Prison. Usually they just run directly away from you, so you can toss it a little behind them and they walk into it. The time-to-land is the same regardless of distance cast, so it's easy to manage as long as you account for movement speed. It can also be used just to make them stop or take a longer route, so that they are caught by your team even if it misses.
Tidecaller's Blessing (E) is actually pretty strong. You will usually want to max it second instead of Aqua Prison (Q) even though it seems Q is better.
Never forget your passive. All your spells increase the speed of the allied champion it hits/is used on, so they can be used simply to help a chase or escape.
If your enemy seems much stronger than you in lane, it's ok to play passive. If it's something especially terrifying you can grab an Ancient Coin to start and just be a healbot; denying the enemy their strength puts you at an advantage later. Something like Draven/Leona (which will kill Nami instantly at level 2) I like to play it safe against.
She has lots of options for item builds. Don't think there is any best option, try out different paths like bonus healing, defense, AP and find what you're comfortable with. Nami is about the worst Support to try and hold a wave, so I like to go Zz'rot Portal early on.
A great way to maximize and guarantee your CC in a fight is to hit them with Tidal Wave first and immediately follow up with Aqua Prison. The Ult is very difficult to dodge, and if they are knocked up your Q is definitely impossible if you aim right.
Ahristocats2 votesi actually wanted you to post here, i believed so hard
i hope you don't feel bad for sharing your secrets especially number 8, thanks a lot for this i know it takes time to write
Deep Terror Nami2 votesWould've been there an hour ago but was in the middle of ARAM matches.
dominusx1 votesAll of you abilities proc your passive aka if you bubble your teammate he gets the mobility. other than that dont know more since i dont play her. but keep this trick in mind. also works with your ultimate.
Ahristocats1 votesseems good, but i think keeping Q for offensive is better, it's still a semi-AOE 1.5 sec stun
dominusx1 votesi mean once you start getting good with her lining up the bubble to hit both the enemy and your mate.
Elite4Runner1 votesDeep Terror Nami is such a hero among the boards!
:)
ArnoldSchwarzens1 votesPost with "Nami" in the title isn't even live for an hour and you managed to bait out Deep Terror Nami and made her type an essay lmao. I would come up with some analogy about baits and fishing but currently I'm too lazy and tired to do that, I'm sorry.
Ahristocats1 votesyou also baited me since i opened the thread hoping for more advises
thx m8
