Nami Taking the #1 Support Over Janna?

is an incredibly good champion. Healing supports has been falling short in the meta. As for a while the meta prefers shielding supports like and . is an exception to the meta and can scale well against shielding supports. While Champions like make a pop-ups in the meta. She isn't that good of aviable pick because her heal doesn't apply to herself and her q is easy to dodge. Her E and ultamite is a good exception though. is also a champion making pop-ups in the meta but because the only damage is coming from her Q it makes sona fall short. However her healing is one of the best and her ultamate is effective when used correctly in teamfigts But still still shines even against her shielding counterparts. There is and but since they both shield and heal I'm not going to qualify them in the discussion. Then there's who's hype is sort of lost. Other champions that can heal are at somewhere else like .

What Makes Nami So Good?

Nami can scale well with and against other ADCs and Supports. has a channeling ult. Which can be cancelled by Nami's Ultamite (Tidal Wave) at a long and safe range. Her ultimate is also effective as a disengage or to start a team fight. Her Q (Aqua Prison) is an AoE stun. This means, the more target it connects to. The more effective the use of it is. Her E (Tidal Blessing) can be effective on auto-attack heavey and user adc. This can include and to synergize well with. As her laning phase, its top-notch , mostly because of her W. It can be very effective in short trades as it can heal and damage at the same time. For 1v1 she can be effective if her ultimate is up and if she can connect with her Q. Teamfights are also effective because if she stays back while spamming her E and W. There are champions released after her that still got a rework. Including Nami has been my first main and still is my main. Nami however, does have a weakness. Its her passive, and E. Her E doesn't benifet herself. And unlike other supports, her passive doesn't scale well enough. Maybe if its just her E for the MS its fine. But for someone to use her Q on an ally? That just looks wrong. But having her for my starter champions is one of the luckiest thing that ever happened to me in league and see you in the rift!
