So I am currently in the middle of a argument with a league player I know. Me and a friend are trying to argue that AP utility nami support is better. They league player were arguing against is saying that tank utility nami support is better.
So I need some opinions from other people here. which is better, AP utility or Tank utility Nami Support?
Deep Terror Nami2 votesDepends on what I need. Most of the time it's Tank utility items, but Zeke's and Banner are somewhat common for me, and if I'm really far ahead I'll go for something with a little more AP late game.
Ladrac2 votesDepends on your team and how are you doing in the game. If you're ahead and you don't have any other mage fed in your team then build AP Utility Nami. If you already got a fed mage or you're behind just build Tanky Utility Nami.
The Gipsy Danger2 votesthe person I was arguing left because he couldnt argue against me and my friend who provided evidence and scaling to back up all our claims on ap nami
OverpoweredSoap1 votesI'd say that it really depends on what your team has.
In most costs I'd argue tank utility is better because it means Nami can live longer, which makes her able to support her team for even longer.
Though, AP utility is really fun.
Depends on what your team has though.
LaoBushido1 votesI think tank is more meta oriented her ap scaleling seem lower than other ap supports
Lapis1 votesAP all the way
GamblerOfLives1 votesi played nami AP..she sucks man..no dmg:|..better go for utility tank bcs she is squyshy..all she needs to do is use her CC and not die;)

That's...pretty accurate.

That's...pretty accurate.
...what about the fat heals on W that let you stay in lane as long as you want once you have 
?
They have a pretty low base CD... and if you max CDR...
Still, it depends what the game is like. Ap is good if you are ahead, but remember this: Nami is a poke based champion. If she has time between trades, she will just heal herself and her team up.
But being a support, you gotta provide a little more utility, especially in lower ranks where people don't realize that Nami's ult is an initiator (grants MS). So stuff like 
...Twin Ghosts isn't here?... 
(free burn damage, but this is an offensive item and only buy if the enemies have tanks)
Deep Terror Nami1 votesIt's not like I was really saying she just Q's and runs off til it's off CD. I am a Nami main if you didn't guess.
And Twin Shadows was removed. FQC now has a version of its active instead.

But... that's pretty much exactly what you were saying. You said use your CC and not die. CC is Q, E, and ult. And W is a pretty big part of her kit, so it's not 'pretty accurate'.
Deep Terror Nami1 votesYa, I literally said that but it was a joke...

Oh... kinda hard to tell xD
Aeolian Melodies1 votesDepends on what your team has and how well the team as well as yourself is doing.
Team has tanks, and/or is doing well: you can probably get away with AP utility Nami with stuff like 
and so forth
Team only has squishies, and/or you're strugging: you probably can't get away with AP Nami and are better off buying tankier with supportive items that protect your team like 
You gotta remember though, even with full AP build Nami does low damage - the AP is mainly there to increase her supporting (healing, speed buff with passive, and E's dmg and slow).
Bonipherus1 votesI like ap cuz nami is so safe and you can build mejais on her. But you want to prioritize cdr over ap.
LegendaryLemur1 votesProbably something like 
LadyRenly1 votesI've always built her ability power. If I'm buying tank utility items, I'd rather do it on someone that isn't Nami.
Drackolus1 votesI mained and secondaried Nami since her release, and I hadn't been able to get any real success with AP unless I was ridiculously ahead. With the preseason though, I found ap to work great. In fact, ap in general got a lot better. I still would start building tanky if I was way behind though. It will depend heavily on your style. Nami kind of wants to get close to do her combo, but since healing is so good this season the extra ap does help quite a bit. That being said, I think that ap is only marginally better and significantly more difficult. She is still mostly a CC queen, and being tanky lets you go wherever you want to apply that cc and it lets you stick around longer to throw another round. However, like Janna and Sona, ap = movement, so you can still get away with it.
