A while back someone made a thread complaining yasuo's windwall stops nami's ultimate. At first I thought it was ridiculous and that making her ult go through wouldn't make a difference.

I started playing nami recently and going against yasuo is the worst feeling, even though you're the support and he's the mid laner. Come teamfights if he manages to place his windwall at the beginning it actually blocks every single one of your spells and leaves nami completely useless for the duration of the wall. If you're alone and yasuo runs up to you, there is absolutely no escape as long as he uses his wall.

Now I know pain.

This is the reason Braum was played as a Nami counter during season 4. Just hold unto Unbreakable until she ults.

I used to think he was a counter, but if he shields you just bubble him and it's impossible to miss (if an ally is next to him it'll get them too). If he doesn't shield, use the bubble and follow with the Ult if you hit. He doesn't bug me anymore.

Cool beans. In that case, I'll leave it to you to explain to all of the professional teams making money off playing this game that they're mistaken in their entire strategies that have been proven time and again. I know they'll all be very interested to hear the strategy that you alone have thought of that none of them could have.

Someone would have to pick Nami first in LCS. Which was pretty damn rare. Braum didn't even come out until around mid season, at which point he was picked regardless because he was OP for most of the season. Since season 5, Nami performs average to above average against Braum.

Ya, I pretty much just pick Blitz instead if they get Yasuo first.

Does windwall block his grab?

Deep Terror NamiJan 13, 20161 votes

Yes, but not his E. Every single ability of Nami's is blocked by Windwall, but only Blitz's Q is. You can run up and punch him with E and Ult.

If you're alone vs yasuo, you pretty much set yourself up for failure.

I don't actually own Nami, But has anyone tried using Icy ghosts to slow the enemy and line up your bubble?

probably one of the reasons why FQC's active is so bonkers. It helps you line up your other abilities at critical moments.

Nami could already do this before by just pressing E. She didn't need a complete FQC for this strategy, but it doesn't hurt matters neither.
