Am I the only one that has mana problems while playing Nami?

Am I spamming spells too much or does Nami have high mana costs/low mana regen stats? For example, after 3 points, your W costs as much as your ult and then it only gets worse ("Ebb and Flow" cost: 70 / 85 / 100 / 115 / 130 mana). Nami has also low AP ratios, 2 pretty high stationary cds on her basic spells (her W and her E) and maxing Q gives you almost nothing but damage. Why is that so? I know she's really good early game, but on the other hand she falls off really fast during mid game and becomes almost worthless in late game.

No, you're not the only one. I'm pretty sure Lustboy said he runs a mana regen quint and 3 mana regen glyphs on her for the early game. Of course, if you just spam spells mindlessly that will make things worse.

The problem is that I don't think I'm spamming. I use W only when I can both trade with the enemies and heal myself/my adc. I do the same with E, using it only when I want to boost my aa damage in trades (pre 6) and later on just for the on-hit slow, casting it on me or my adc. I use Q only when I'm 100% sure it's going to land the stun. And I still have mana problems. Maybe I should make a rune page with mana regen, but I think that Nami could use a little buff.

dont forget, your adc is prob taking way more poke than they should, with the reasoning behind it in their minds... well, i have a "healing/sustain" support, i can take it....

anecdotal evidence only, but i notice when i play a support that can heal, often my adc will just take poke and expect me to heal them nonstop, to hell with my mana or me having to go back.... i suggest not healing as much early game, let them know or if the adc asks why, let them know you have mana issues, and your not a healbot.....
