I've only played Nami in ARAM games but I like her a lot and I've been thinking of buying her. I don't usually see her as a support in normals, so I'm not too sure how she is in game yet. What are good bot lane matchups to use Nami in?
EDIT: I also like to buy Rod of Ages on mages, is this a good item on Nami? (As a third or fourth item)
TouchpadExpert4 votesNami is supposed to counter the following: 
(Varus is kind of a stretch though)
Nami is good with the following ADCs: 
Nami has low synergy with the following ADCs: 
Nami is countered by the following chamions: 
Nami is a Poke/sustain style support. Typically the people she counters the best are Kill/poke laners. The ones she struggles the hardest against are Sustain/kill laners and anything that is highly mobile.
And as it stands right now Nami is probably the most well balanced support champion in the current meta.
colesy2 votesnami, the poke and sustain support has low synergy with ashe and ezreal, the two poke adcs? what crack are you on?

They work. They are suboptimal. Ashe doesn't benefit much from Nami's E because she already has a slow built into her kit. Ezreal is more from my own experience. Ezreal will flash away while Nami is mid ebb'n'flow and will stop the bounce from taking place.
colesy1 votesashe uses w. nami uses w. nami lands q, ashe gets free poke. rinse and repeat. ashe hits 6, fires arrow, nami q's the target to chain the cc. how is this not a synergistic lane?
you sucking at ezreal doesn't mean he's bad with nami either.
seriously I can't believe what the fuck I'm reading

Chill, dude. This is all people's own opinions :P

I'm usually the Nami though in the Ezreal situation...
Also, compliments of dictionary.com: suboptimal - Being below an optimal level or standard
I never said Ashe and Nami didn't work together, my post stated that one of Nami's abilities doesn't help out Ashe as efficiently as with other ADCs. Nami plus Ashe equals suboptimal. They work, there are just better choices that Ashe makes full use of their kits. Like Janna or Braum.
And you're welcome to disagree with me but at least deliver your counter argument in a more mature manner. I know you aren't trying to come off as obnoxious but you came off as obnoxious with your last post.
DartFeld1 votesI would think she works well with ezreall. I main her, but don't get to play with ezreals too often. Her E adds an on hit effect. What does Ez's Q do? Apply on hit effects. It increases his already powerful burst :P
RookPusher3 votesShe's fairly strong period. Just practice landing bubbles. My two pieces of advice are
She's more dangerous when her bubbles up than launched. Meaning so long as you haven't thrown it, she's seen as a threat.
Learn to lead them.
DartFeld3 votesHe means account for the casting time and place them where the enemies are going. Not where they currently are.
Only Play Darius3 votesShe is essentially a better version of 
. She performs identically to her in the same matchups.
DartFeld3 votesI'm not capable of telling you good/bad match ups. But mechanically, I like her a lot. She can peel, harass, sustain, disengage, and has a movement speed and damage steroid. In general, though, enemies with a dash ability are tough to land bubbles on. The thing about Nami's bubble is that it takes the same amount of time to land wether you place it right next to yourself, or at maximum range. This makes it very easy for anyone with a dash to just avoid it. Her bubble works best on predictable champions. Take draven for example. If he's chasing his axes, you know exactly where he's going to go and can plan accordingly. This forces him to drop his axe, or get hit by a bubble. The positive of dodging far outweigh the consequences of him getting bubbled, so I find that hard to call a favourable matchup for Nami just because he's predictable. Enemies that root themself in place for abilities (like a long range blitz grab) are easier to hit. Overall team comps? She can set up yasuo ults, she can follow up a malphite ult with a bubble and disable them even longer, and send her ult at them afterward for a triple threat. So those are also things to consider if you're looking past the laning phase.
The12thman942 votesIt's fun to play her against because you can see where he is going to catch his axes so you just bubble where his circle thing is.
AxlRose091 votesThanks for the help guys :)
