Nami has become my favorite champion recently. I don't think she's that terrible. I think her kit offers a nice mix of damage, crowd control, and utility, and she synergizes nicely with most ranged carries. I'm not saying she doesn't need changes, though.

In particular, her skill leveling is kinda one-dimensional, since her W is the only attractive and interesting option to max first. I don't feel that Q or E gain much from leveling up early-game except for lower cooldown and more slow, respectively. W is a much safer and more worthwhile skill to max for its sustain and harassing power.

Also, I think her passive is pretty much useless, especially considering it only lasts 1.5 seconds. It should either have an increase in magnitude or duration or both, maybe to 40 bonus movement speed for 2.5 seconds. Her ultimate is pretty cool, and great for disengagements, but I think it needs another tiny increase in speed, because it still feels rather slow and clunky.

To conclude, she's held back compared to other supports because of her high skill cap and lack of choice, making her boring to play for most people. But I think that she will become more popular is she gets buffed a bit more. And hey, I'm all for buffs on this mermaid :D
