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
밀려오는 파도나미의 스킬에 맞은 아군 챔피언은 짧은 시간 동안 이동 속도가 상승합니다.
Strong: her spells speed allies they touch — hidden tempo everywhere. Weak: background value; just note the surges in trades.
Q
물의 감옥거대한 물방울을 지정한 위치로 발사해 물방울이 닿은 적에게 피해를 입히고 닿는 순간 기절시킵니다.
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
밀물 썰물밀려드는 파도를 보내 아군 및 적 챔피언을 번갈아 맞히면서, 아군은 치유하고 적에게는 피해를 입힙니다.
Strong: a bouncing heal-damage wave that wins 2v2 trades. Weak: bounce range is short — spread from your partner to break the chain.
E
파도 소환사의 축복잠시 동안 아군 챔피언들을 강화해, 기본 공격과 스킬 사용 시 추가 마법 피해를 입히고 대상에게 둔화를 걸 수 있게 만듭니다.
Strong: empowers three hits with bonus damage and slows. Weak: a short buff window — disengage its duration.
R
해일적들을 공중으로 띄우고 둔화를 걸면서 피해를 입히는 거대한 해일을 소환합니다. 여기에 맞은 아군은 밀려오는 파도의 효과를 두 배로 받습니다.
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.
