Nami is a strong AD only in lane.

At lvl 9 she deals a lot of damage. As support you cannot always be sure your will use E but you can make sure you do. Her mana management is fair. Having a similar CC support will allow for easy facerolling (1.5 + say leona 1.5 = 3 second death).

I have played her AD and even when having a strong laning she is weak transitioning. She cannot fight like a regular adc and is hard to peel for yourself due to cast time. Unless overly fed she will lose all with virtually anything.

Janna laning is weaker. Both have low AS but Nami passive+slow allow her to land all hits, Janna is harder to use your shield effectively. Janna scales better with her strong mobility late game, Toronado cast is faster than bubble and Zephyr slow is more efficent. Both have strong CC but Janna is instacast. Tidal Wave is weak, deals 0 damage and super slow.
