How to beat Nami

Common role: Support

A tidecaller whose bubble and wave turn skirmishes upside down.

What makes Nami dangerous

Nami bubbles you into a long knock-up (Q), heals and pokes with a bouncing wave (W), empowers her carry's hits with slows (E), and her ultimate sends a huge knock-up wave across the lane. Her passive speeds allies constantly.

How to play against Nami

• 1The bubble is slow — juke it and her engage/peel is gone for 10s.
• 2Her W bounces heal her side and damage yours — break the bounce chain by spacing.
• 3Trade when E was used on farm-lane pressure — it's her buff window.
• 4The ult is huge but slow — walk sideways, never straight back.

Weaknesses to exploit

• ✓Everything is a skillshot — mobility ruins her.
• ✓Squishy with no self-peel once Q misses.
• ✓Mana problems when spamming W trades.
• ✓The ult telegraphs from a mile — sidestep beats it.

Abilities & how to counter them

What each of Nami's abilities does — and how to play around it.

• P
  Maree dirompenti

  Quando le abilità di Nami colpiscono un campione alleato, quest'ultimo guadagna velocità di movimento per un breve periodo di tempo.

  Strong: her spells speed allies they touch — hidden tempo everywhere. Weak: background value; just note the surges in trades.

• Q
  Prigione acquatica

  Lancia una bolla verso un'area bersaglio, infliggendo danni e stordendo i nemici all'impatto.

  Strong: a long knock-up bubble — engage, peel and gank setup in one. Weak: slow, arcing and obvious — juke it and 10 seconds are yours.

• W
  Flusso e riflusso

  Emette un getto d'acqua che rimbalza tra campioni alleati e nemici, curando gli alleati e danneggiando i nemici.

  Strong: a bouncing heal-damage wave that wins 2v2 trades. Weak: bounce range is short — spread from your partner to break the chain.

• E
  Benedizione delle maree

  Potenzia un campione alleato per una breve durata. Gli attacchi base e le abilità dell'alleato infliggono danni magici bonus e rallentano il bersaglio.

  Strong: empowers three hits with bonus damage and slows. Weak: a short buff window — disengage its duration.

• R
  Mareggiata

  Evoca un'immensa mareggiata che sbalza in aria, rallenta e danneggia i nemici. Gli alleati colpiti ottengono il doppio dell'effetto di Maree dirompenti.

  Strong: a map-length wave of knock-ups for engages and escapes. Weak: slow travel — walk sideways; never run straight from it.

Itemization

Mobility and juking gut her kit. Punish bubble misses with instant all-ins; anti-heal cuts the wave sustain.
