I have not played Nami one bit, but from some gameplay I've seen as well as quickly examining her ability set:

Early game she's devastating, support or otherwise. Mid-game she already begins to drop off as everyone gets bulkier and tougher and AP-resistant (which is her main form of damage output) and likewise, her heals / buffs have a lessened effect. Late-game all you really wanna do is pop in and out for some quick CC and help your team to fight harder - she doesn't do much by herself so you need to have a strong team to start with. As well as that, CDs seem like they will be the death of you, so you'll have to balance a build out to both take some CDR as well as be the support you are.

Don't get me wrong, with the right team composition Nami can be devastating, more so than other aggressive supports like Sona or Soraka. Besides from that though, play aggressive with Nami - she's meant to buff and CC down enemies for the carry to grab, not stay behind and simply heal. As such, choose her for carries such as Tryndamere or Master Yi.

'''Please note that I have had no experience with / alongside Nami whatsoever, but that's just my two cents out there. Hope this helps.'''
