Nami isn't really strong in this meta. There are just better picks for the roles she has.

Her only way to stop hard engages - her Q is delayed and hard to aim. Then again if you want a quick reliable shutdown you'd be better off playing Lulu with her strong-single target shutdown / Soraka who has almost instant silences / Janna with her Q knock-up which while short at close distances is still guaranteed.

Her W is quite good in this meta, having a heal even when not poking the enemy down before a fight and is the few reliable heals that remain that cost no mana. <- Basically why'd you want to pick Nami right now.

Her E is decently strong too for 2v2 chases. Remember if you reach late-game you'll be better off casting your E on yourself to space out the slows.

Her R is much more stronger as an engage, so if you do pick Nami it's because of this. Riot seems to think so too as with the PBE changes this becomes basically a Sivir ult if allies are within.

Basically soon Nami will be picked primarily for her versatility and ability to help allies engage.
