Why is Rylai's in Nami's recommended items?

Witch of Babylon··5 votes·1,838 views

Why would she need it? Rylai's gives nothing useful to her as an early game item. Her E slow is much more powerful than the passive. Rylai's does apply to Nami's W yes but if her E slow is more powerful, why would you even need it? She already has enough tools to hit her Q and ultimate. Please remove it before new players start buying it on her.

Yeah who would want more HP, more AP for your spells, and another form of slow that applies to everything else you do? That sounds so stupid!!!

Its generally made for ap champs to reliably hit further skills. Such as azir or taliyah. its not that good of a support item because theres better items for them as their main role is to ensure their carry is alive which their skills canb already do as well as providing buffs and debuffs fro their team and your team

Zyra and Morg work well with Rylai's. Even though I don't build it on Morg anymore.

I can think of several items Nami should get before even considering filling out her itemization with a mage item.

Agreed, definitely don't rush it, but it's still not useless by any means.

Its entirely wasted. You're better off getting RoA, Liandry's, Protobelt, or...pretty much anything else.

Uhhh, buying RoA at 30+ minutes? Good plan. Liandry's wouldn't aid your team any aside from you doing a little extra damage. Protobelt also doesn't help anyone but yourself aside from some damage from the active and the CDR.

Tell me again how any of those are better than additional slowing?

Liandry's would aid your team just about as much as Rylai's.

I hope you realize that the slow is gone by the time your E or R wear off. You'd literally be buying Rylai's just for her W. Liandry's offers more AP and the same HP.

You don't seem to understand that additional utility is the key here so I won't bother continuing this conversation.

Because recommended builds have been extremely flawed since this game was made.

It's so she can be completely stupidly op. And the recommended items are such shit, it's incredible that anyone can play this game.

i think its because her E can work with allies. So its like giving a frozen mallet for 3 autoes lol

Mastery 6 Nami here. Rylai's is actually a good situational item on her. You are getting HP, AP and utility without having to buy more CDR. Her W bounces apply the slow, so does her ultimate after the knock up. The extra slow does make a difference, whether you are trying to pin down mobile enemies or help your ADC kite tanks. The slow is just more utility, and this one is point and click(her W). This build works very well. Nami item 2301 item 3107 item 3190item 3222 item 3116 item 3117
