In laning phase, Nami's Q is horrible. Maybe it gets better later, but the few times I've tried to play Nami, the game was already lost before Baron/Dragon contests would even matter. But generally, an occasional two-person stun later on doesn't make up for missing 80% of my stuns in the laning phase. At least Cho'Gath gets a significant payoff for having a hard-to-land skill shot. This skill shot is even harder to land and pays off less.

Taric's heal is about equal with Nami's heal skill overall. Nami's best case is damage two heal one, or vice versa. Taric always heals two, one of whom is himself.

The slow is useuless until level it up. Maybe leveling it early is an option, but I tend to level Q so I can miss more Q's faster.

It's really just her ult that could have any hope of setting her apart from Taric, and it's just a slightly stronger version of Janna's Q on a much longer cooldown.
