Nami - feedback and questions thread

  • It can be hard to get coverage on all the questions and feedback when they are in so many different posts, if you guys could try to condense your feedback and questions into this thread I can get more coverage on Nami overall.

    I'll try to stay as up to date as possible on this thread and answer as much as I can, all of your questions and feedback are much appreciated!

    I find her to be quite fun, that in combination with the new items for support make it a really enjoyable experience.

    I'm biased because I main support, but I think she's the bee's knees. The fish-bee's' knees. Lots of fun positioning and disabling and enabling.

    Depends on who you're laning with really, we found in testing that maxing your E when you're with someone like Caitlyn works VERY well. When laning with someone like Vayne who takes a lot of damage and has low range going W first helps a lot.
  • I am so excited for this champ, its not even funny! Classick and the Nami team have been working hard to get her in PBE tonight! Can't wait to read your thoughts

    1- Passive (Celerity) does this proc if your allies are in the area of effect of your damaging spells? IE, if you Tsunami through your team, do they get a mini-sprint?
    2- Surging Tides - does the number of bounces increase with rank?
    3- How is her base movement speed?

    1 - Yes, so you can use it as an engagement tool and send it through your allies so they get hasted to catch the opponents when the wave slows them down.
    2 - 3 bounces at all ranks
    3 - 305 movement speed, although with the season 3 changes base movement speeds have been adjusted

    Why didn't you name her "Romlariel" or some other similar name?

    Passive - Only complaint I could possibly have is that I wish it lasted a bit longer

    Q - This ability seems fine to me, though it doesn't have high base damage, which is pretty much my complaint for most of her abilities.

    W - I will assume it was supposed to be a combat oriented heal/harass where you cast it on enemies and it splashes to heal your ally. Unfortunately, it uses up way too much mana. I know this is to combat sustain, but the rest of her abilities aren't interesting enough or give us any reason to level anything else up. So, from my experience so far, if you get into a small skirmish in the bottom lane and use your W, you won't be able to fight again for a while because all of your mana is gone.

    E - I don't really have much complaint with this ability either.

    R - I love it.

    Because of her mana costs, I've been scrambling to get mana regen just so I'm helpful throughout long team fights. I feel like her W doesn't do anything in any stage of the game, except in the lane phase.. that one time that you can cast it. My thoughts are, she either needs to have more base damage on her abilities to make up for her high mana costs on her W or more mana/mana regen.

    Edit : since all her skill icons are blue, its hard to tell when shes actually out of mana
    I think once we get a new patch for PBE and fix the double mana cost bug on W this should help a lot with your concerns.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    It's a tough line to make a support "viable" middle and not overpowered, I'll try to get as close to that line as possible but it has proved to be quite difficult in the past.
