How to play against Nami

Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.

In lane and in teamfights

  1. Dodge Q first, then trade while that threat is down.
  2. Step out of her W bounce range after short trades so she cannot win with repeated healing.
  3. Punish roams by crashing the abandoned wave and denying experience before she returns.
  4. Enter river from spread angles so R cannot start a chained knockup for her team.
  5. Focus her when she steps forward to heal; removing her early cuts off the enemy reset pattern.

Where Nami is weak

Exploit these in draft and in lane.

  • Nami is fragile when she steps forward to trade or heal, making mispositioning much more punishable than her poke.
  • Nami's strongest control needs setup from slows or terrain, so raw max-range bubbles are unreliable engage tools.
