Playing against Nami
How to counter and exploit weaknesses
1
Her Q bubble is slow and predictable — keep moving constantly to dodge it.
2
Nami is squishy: if you catch her with CC, she dies quickly.
3
Her R is wide but slow — sidestep or dash to avoid it.
4
Engage when her Q is on cooldown (10s): it's her only hard CC outside of her ult.
