I quit playing in the middle of season 2 because I didn't like the lack of support options, and a friend told me to give Nami a try.

I quite like her, and Lulu as well. I am curious about a couple of things though. Last I hopped on and checked, Nami's heal once maxed (her W I believe) was a good 130 mana. She has quite good ratios (though I don't really see her being a serious mid pick) and it's seeming that the obvious option is to max E first in lane, and max Q last.

I guess what I'm curious about is, knowing your guys' particular distaste with sustain lanes, that Sona's heal is quite similar in that it heals multiple targets, but provides a decent armor buff for your carry. While I believe the heal amounts are somewhat comparable at max rank, Sona's heal costs drastically less than Nami's, so I don't really feel like maxing it first is a considerable option knowing she'll be almost instantly out of mana.

So, working as intended?

Edit: seriously, thanks for making some cool supports. League was getting way boring playing Janna and Sona every match.

I was wondering about namis Q ability why make it cheap? The skill it seems good, but at the same time I feel like other supports CC is better. Still namis Q is so cheap for her main source of cc.

Really liking Nami as a support. Especially how well her QER abilities work. Yet her W still throws me off.

It would be nice if it would bounce between 2 allies if no enemies are in range. Yet I guess I gotta cope with that single heal xD. Yet it's pretty darn awesome when used on an ally fighting an enemy.

Despite that at least it has a visual for the said stun. You can't really tell with other supports so well that they are debuffed or cc'd so your adc could through in some couple of hits. Yet with Nami it kinda motivates them to do so.

It's stupid but - her gray background... very dull and ugly. Can't you find something else? All the other champions have something elaborate behind them.. Nami has an ugly simple gray background :s

I want to bring this is up again because it got no attention... but is no one else frustrated by how she is the worst farmer in the game, by a significant margin? If the game is going slowly and your carry isn't making kills, you will fall behind in gold in the late game with no way to independently catch up. Also, that you can't maintain the lane in the carry's absence... I know the 0CS support is the norm right now, but this is the first champion that is incapable of being effectively played any other way. What if the meta changes? And even 0CS supports are expected to be able to free farm in absence of teammates, or help push when called for, but Nami just can't. She can't fend for herself, and it hurts. :-/

Really love her. Got to learn the new items, but I can see me playing her alot. Her ult is kind of sketchy. Have to use it will hiding a bit to not be seen or use it to escape. Find her usefull to help allies escape with her Q or to initiate if landed, then W to heal them to substain in lane.. She have all the abilities we need in a support.

just wondering if nami is getting a skin or not?
sorry if this has already been asked there is alot of pages.
there is no skin slot on her pbe champion page and no skin to test, if there is no skin.. no bundle?
also if there isnt going to be a skin i can see that being a bad move for riot.

When using an ability, Nami takes a few seconds to respond to you hitting the skill. Ex. I hit R, and 1-2 seconds later it will cast it.

I don't remember if I posted in the bug list thread or this thread, but I'll repost it on the chance that someone might have missed it.
I was wondering if it were possible to slightly tweak the way her W grants kills/assists. Right now, afaik, it will grant a kill on the kill shot whether or not you used her W on your ally or the enemy. What I was wondering is if you could change it so that you get an assist on heals(her W) that result from a kill(s), the ally you healed gets the kill(s) instead, and when you target the enemy with your W you obtain the kill(s), if it's the killing blow, from bounces regardless of whether or not it hits an ally and then back to an enemy for a kill.
Easier to explain this if given an example. You're support bottom as nami. At one point or another, your AD carry gets into a fight with their AD carry(after you've gotten your W) and they're both really low(200 hp or lower). With the current system(afaik), when you would heal your AD carry with you W, the skill would target your opponent after healing your ally(as part of the design) and snipe the kill. With what I'm proposing, instead of sniping the kill, you've effectively kill secured and and gotten an assist. If you use your W on your opponent, in that scenario the AD carry, with the current system or with what I am proposing as a possible added dynamic, you would snipe the kill and your AD carry would have an assist. This is a proposed added dynamic and the only other idea that I can add on to this is that maybe you could have it as a toggle-able effect. That's all, just seemed like a really "neat" idea.
