Nami needs to be nerfed

iConcy··2 votes·825 views

They have tore other support apart for doing "too much damage early" but yet nami seems to dodge their sights.

Yet, she has insanely high damage, good cc, and a strong as hell heal. She can solo ad's early on.

If i recall braum's damage was gutted for this reason, yet she can do that an more. I'm not saying she needs to be gutted but she definitely needs some attention.

Aqua Prison has a high tendency to miss, and Nami is very squishy early. She's fine.

Also, Braum's damage was nerfed because his passive leads to hard-zoning scenarios if you are affected by it. If you don't back off immediately when hit by his Q, odds are that he and his teammate will stun you.

Nami, on the other hand, can only stun you with her Q, which can be dodged pretty easily and has a long early cooldown. Very punishable.

its honestly pathetically easy to hit for what it does. Early game movement speed is slow as ever, and on top of that they've stacked so much ghost range on it you dont even have to be in the circle to have it hit. On top of that is has VERY high damage even without maxing it first, she also has an INCREDIBLY strong heal, and SLOW that does EXTRA damage on auto attacks. oh and her HEAL can HEAL TWO teammates while DAMAGING an enemy....

Why on earth does a heal have to do such hard damage early on??? the actual idea its self is a complete mess.

Pros can dodge it easily or Flash-dodge it and kill Nami for screwing up. It's all about anticipation.

Her heal also has a nasty early mana cost, meaning if she's forced to use it too much, she'll mana-burn.

Nami is extremely well-designed; you're just being a hater.

I don't know what Riot's obsession is with damage. Why does Nami's bubble even have to do damage? It's an AoE hard CC, isn't that enough?

Nami needs some of that damage because her Q is hard to hit, nerf the damage she prob won't be played.

I hate the idea of "hard to hit", its honestly so easy to hit with her strong slow. not to mention movement speed early on is horrendous.

So i could start boots/pots, right? well if you do this nami will legit just solo the other lane with no punishment while her adc farms because her damage and sustain is far too high, and if you start boot/pots your lane is lacking damage. She's a win/win champion. There really is no strong #counterplay to her.

You play a kill lane against her like Bliztcrank.

And no, her bubble isn't easy to hit because she has to sit there and auto attack you a good 2 times to proc the slow, and dont even get me started on trying to bubble a Lucian that saves his dash to juke it.

Her heal has high mana costs as well, i mean you must be at bronze 10 to have a Nami that solos the other lane alone by herself.
