We're nerfing another one of the most powerful supports to bring her in line with other options. Nami often excels in extremely aggressive early lanes, utilizing W self cast to bounce damage to enemies and getting high value out of both effects in a single cast. Now she will need to be more intentional about whether she wants the heal or the damage more.

Nami is one of the easiest champions to play in the game. Accounting for other champions' win rate losses due to inexperience, Nami should sit at one of the highest win rates in the game, so we're buffing her. Our W buffs are for rank-up parity with E. Base AD makes her a better laner when not simply sending her spells through her ADC and buffing R makes her ultimate a bit more ultimate.

Nami is at one of her historically weakest points and we think she could use a little love. In line with our other changes around support damage, we’re pulling out some mid-game damage through her E rank up and W AP ratio and re-adding it into her healing and overall teamfight output with W’s bounce power.

Since our last set of changes, Nami has become a strong, independent fish that doesn’t need a Lucian anymore. Now that she isn’t soul bound to Lucian we feel more comfortable adding some power back into her kit, namely by increasing the movement speed she can offer to allies and giving slightly more damage on her Q. We wanted to be very careful with W and E, which are her primary support tools, so instead we went with a reliable way to help others with movement speed. We’re also adding a little more satisfaction on hitting her more difficult spell, which gives her some more power early where we believe she should still be a dominant support in lane.

Electrocute Nami has been Lucian’s best friend given that they could quickly proc Nami’s Electrocute with Lucian’s Q double auto combo. We’re changing how Nami’s E counts toward Electrocute to be more in line with similar abilities. This should also make Nami viable with other pairings. Besides, fish and electrocutions together never go swimmingly.

Last patch, we tide a small nerf to Nami's E when we adjusted her passive so that her power would remain at sea level. It turns out she actually sank a bit as a result, so we're reeling that part of the change back in.

It's high tide for a Nami adjustment! This should make the move speed boost on her passive much more noticeable, so you can stop taking your enchanter supports for granted. (Just kidding. Maybe.) She's already pretty strong, so we're balancing out this slight buff with a small nerf to her E.

We haven't gotten to sea Nami much lately, so we're shifting the current by giving the tidecaller some blessings to improve her survivability in trades and allow her to use her costliest skill more.
