Nami reminds me of Merfolks from MTG, so they copied Wizards of the coast..., is almost identical to Vaporeon from Pokemon ( water gun, bubbles, and Surf HM ftw.) so they copied Japan. Since LoL needed Water champion ( no offence Naut), Mermaidish champ is one of the iconic options. You just had the best cliched anwser for that kind of a champ before they did.
