Nami in a Nutshell

Basically, Nami Ahri Yorick are the highest winrate champs in their roles. These champs are either nerfed (Yorick ) Or gonna be nerfed. I strongly disagree Nami needs a nerf . For an entire season Nami had dominated winrates. Before Janna got nerfed along with others' in patch 8.13 only she can hold a candle to Nami 's dominance. Support as a role isn't like mid where you always want to pick them in the first drafting phase (for competitive). Supports are almost always picked last unless if the team knows they need a support to compliment a hypercarry. Nami dodged the nerfs. This made her pretty much the most viable enchanter in D5+. However, Nami like most enchanters with the exception of Morgana struggles in challenger. In fact there is only 1 person who consistantly plays her and hit challenger. http://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=namiandtentacles This user did change their name a few times from Nami Fish Hentai to The TIdecaller. I investigated the Korean server and found no challenger Nami . That played her consistantly. Enchanters struggle in higher elos because other champions are more deadly when under stronger communication between teams. Or they are deadly when skilled. Shen TahmKench are deadly when the team is communicating. Alistar Rakan Thresh Pyke are deadly when skilled. The only enchanters that had dominated challenger in S7-8 are Lulu Janna in the item 3504 meta. And Morgana because of her agency. I think instead of actually nerfing Nami players should simply be given more option. Karma has been struggling hard. Janna nerfs harmed her too much. Lulu got waaaayy too many nerfs. To a point where Galio andLissandra are picked over her to counter assassins like Akali Leblanc . Bard 's roaming is still more effective. But less deadly than Pyke . Call me biased if you will. I have been playing her for a long time now and is the first champion I ever bought.

Lol you got a down vote with no explanation. Its fair to assume this person doesn't play support and is perfectly happy with the role being demolished in order to effectively make their own even more power relative to it.

Not sure why you are bringing up challenger in korea.... That is only 200 players and assuming its a 20% split only 40 would play support, with Currently 26 champs seeing play in the support role. Its pretty likely that that some champs wont have much play in that very low %.

She has the second highest playrate in gold+, plat+ and D+ globally and a 51% winrate which says something. I mean stats wise she seems fine this patch, but cherry picking data like that isn't helping your argument.

I don't seeSona, she's the most nerfed support out there.

I don't seeSona, she's the most nerfed support out there.

Yet she's at a similar win rate to Nami...

But a quarter of her play rate.

Rito in the recent patches has shown us they have hard on damage in the game and anyone who try to stop the damage or reduce it or heal some portion of it back will be nerfed. it is just big fuck you from balance team to us enchanter mains

Nami Sona Janna even after the nerfs i will still adore and play them but Nami is my best.

TL;DR - "don't nerf her, buff other stuff instead"

Isn't powercreep one of the more frequent complaints on the boards?

Nami needs nerfs.

They should have hit her damage though.
