Riot Please Make Nami More Viable In Mid / Solo Lanes Please

Nami has always been one of my favorite champions ever since release. I've played her everywhere in past seasons.. Top, Mid, ADC, even Jungle. Of all the changes this season however I definitely feel that Nami is probably one of the most lacking Supports in the sense that many Supports became viable in mid or even solo lanes and Nami's terrible scaling have left her behind. I am not saying that Nami should become a mid laner however it would be so awesome if something could be changed to allow her to have a little more solo lane presence.

An example how Nami could be changed from a champion with similar abilities..

Chogath Q - Rupture

Nami's Bubble has a shorter range, is far more difficult to land, has a longer cool time, does less damage, does not slow, and has significantly lower AP scaling on an ability that does almost exactly the same thing.

I believe upgrading Nami's Aqua Prison to function more closely to the power of Cho'Gath's Rupture would not hurt her gameplay considering how hard the bubble is to actually land on another player.

Regardless of what is changed, I really hope Nami can receive some nice buffs to help her see more play not only as a support but possibly even in the mid lane or top lane.

Supports shouldn't be duo lane champions because if they can effectively solo lane, then they'll be horribly powerful in a duo lane. Champions like reworked Soraka, reworked Sona, Braum, Leona, etc exemplify this.

Well, changing her Aqua Prison would definitely make her far more fearsome in the bottom lane.. however it would not make her broken. To me she would just become more balanced than what she currently is. Landing that ability takes a lot of luck and a little bit of intelligence regarding where your opponent can move in his surroundings. Other champions would still be able to deal with her in the bottom lane quite easily.

Nami is weak in general this season, anybody who plays her better be a god tier Nami or else they're probably just gonna feed because of how squishy she is. With all the melee assassins out there with quick gap closers and 100-0 burst combos, every Nami i've seen just gets blown out of the game after 1 or 2 ganks.

No thanks she is perfect the way she is and no she isn't weak, she sees heavy LCK play not sure I have seen wolf play anyone else this season.

Karma and Lulu can solo lane play them instead.
