Talk:Nami/@comment-2112140-20140505204645

She's been annoying me lately.. I've been getting the urge to buy her (or Vel'Koz) but I am also waiting for the 2 for 1 rune page sale :/ Either way that's not why I came here I came here to state a few things and ask if it's true and if some people can add more :P

1. Nami works pretty decent against aggressive CC supports

Reason: Nami has a lot of peel and Aqua Prison is a great disruption tool despite the low area of effect. Her passive also helps the ally escape a bit, if he gets caught.

2. Great for engage and disengage

Reason: Tidal Wave AoE is very huge therefore very strong if you need to escape or follow up an engage.

3. Nami is passive in lane

Reason: Nami doesn't have much poke and her only engage (and disengage) in lane is Aqua Prison. She can grant her carry a bit bonus damage with Tidecaller's Blessing, she can poke with Ebb and Flow,but her mana costs restrict her and so she has to play passively only sometimes poking with Ebb and Flow and enhanced attacks, while keeping Aqua Prison for disengage or if it's a guaranteed kill.

4. Nami vs Janna, Nami loses

Reason: Janna has a shield to block most of the poke, Janna can peel better, Nami's passive only applies Movement Speed when an ability is affecting someone, while Janna always has the passive aura.

5. Nami's best friend ADC would have to be Ashe?

Reason: Nami and Ashe can peel for each other, both have strong crowd control. Since Ashe lacks sustain and steroids Nami can provide them for her, both are relatively passive in lane and prefer farming most of the time over going into skirmishes.
