What is your opinion on choosing between Thunderlord's and Windspeaker's for Nami?

I know Thunderlord's is really damn good, but is it good enough to forgo Winspeaker's in all situations?

i dunno

do you want to do more damage or do you want to heal more?

I only just picked up Nami but it seems that a lot of the time I'm healing myself during pokes and so Windspeaker's isn't helping there.

Meanwhile, if Thunderlords ever gets a timer like everything else in the game has it'll be kind of bad on her too unless she lands a bubble (which appears to be more for use midfight than starting one unless your opponents are bad at dodging them). It's... a little damage? Yay?

You could use either, but neither feels like a perfect fit the way Windspeaker's does on Janna/Soraka (or Thunderlords does on everybody else in the game). Sona could probably use both equally well, unlike Nami who is kind of soso with both.

It's actually really easy to get it to proc for Nami. Your heal bounces to deal damage, so even if you heal yourself it's capable of hitting someone else (you should always try to make it more efficient by bouncing). You should also be weaving in auto attacks when you go poke.

Thunderlord's will move Nami's damage from "Non-Existent" tier to "Really Bad" tier.

Windspeaker's will move her heals from "Very useful" to "Amazing and +tankiness" tier.

It's not that hard of a choice to make.

Thunderlord is just broken atm...pretty good with nami because she can auto cancel with w, so i guess auto + w + auto and there's thunderlord degree

wind is better for trades. the extra 10% heal and armor/mr alow you to just eb/flow and win the trade. Yes TL gives you a little more dmg but its about dmg delt-damage recieved in the trade.
