Nami Support Counter Guide

Best Counters:

• Elise

Effective Laning Strategies:

• Avoid her W bounce range to deny her healing and poke
• Sidestep after poking to dodge her Bubble (Q)
• Exploit her W cooldown window for trades
• Stay behind minions to reduce her harass potential

Counter Strategy:

• Build Executioner's Calling early to reduce her healing effectiveness
• Focus Nami first in teamfights to remove ADC protection
• Avoid fighting in narrow jungle paths where her Ultimate is most effective
• Maintain vision control to prevent Ultimate ganks
• Contest her level 1-2 power spike to prevent early dominance

Key Power Spike Timings:

• Level 1-2: Strong early poke and trade potential

Tips for Success:

• Track her ability cooldowns, especially W and R
• Position away from allies to prevent W bounce healing
• Force fights when her Ultimate is on cooldown
