Hector sounds genuinely happy talking about Nami W. Get yourself a man that loves you like Hector loves Nami W

Hector: this broken strategy worked for 10 years and will never get nerfed. Riot sees this challenger guide while Nami winrate skyrockets: I think it's time to rework Nami.

5:22 : Runes 5:30 : Core 6:21 : End build

I like these champion specific in depth guides. They dont feel as stock standard

For everybody that wants to try Nami and doesn't know it, you can also cast E on yourself, not only your teammates like in 12:23 after you used an ability/AA to buff the already flying projectile. You can E yourself after you AA, after you Q'd, after you R'd and after you W'd on someone. The W travels too fast and will hit the first target before you can E yourself. Because of that, if you want to E after W, the enemy you want to hit has to be hit by the 2nd or 3rd bounce/hit. This is the most useful while laning; people are more likely to expect you to AA when they see you E yourself before you go for the AA. You can then use the short speed boost from E'ing yourself to then avoid their poke or to harass further.

As a Nami lover, I really appreciate your tip about holding onto the ult. There were even times I was yelling at the pros at worlds for wasting her wave. One of my favorite things to do to land more Qs is to anticipate who the enemy team is going to engage upon and Q that ally right as the enemy dashes in - the enemy gets bubbled and the ally gets the move speed buff as a great getaway. I remember one Riven player that was trying so hard to catch and kill me after she'd gotten my ADC that she followed me all the way to inhib tower, even tho I kept bubbling her every single time she tried to land her combo.

Nami is such a fun character. She is kinda the perfect support design. You can build her to do so many things, can be damage, healing, &/or CC focused. Her Ult is ALWAYS relevant, and can be the make or break for team fights. Plus the speed bonuses and range of her abilities make her accessible in all situations.

Thanks Hector! With this build i climbed from G4 to G1. Then I added face checking brushes I went from G1 to S4!

I always enjoyed Hector 's content. I am excited to try this build out now.

What's most incredible is that Hector recorded, voiced, and edited this video while simultaneously doing one of those torturous smurf challenges. Also, it wasn't ADC Nami. >:[

11/4 Leblanc: 324 ap Her nami support: 447 ap lul

this reminds me on good old 1000ap janna support builds numbers like 800 shield +120 ad

Wait I've been doing this build for year wow 👌 hell ya. I'm a GM support. Well various versions over the years. I have been using this almost exact build for 2 seasons now. Gj skill capped giving away our secrets xD

This build is quite similar to Orianna support with Shurelia's. Both are super safe enchanters with high speed boost for teammates, and both are basically what I like to call afk strategies. But this Nami build also offers damage potential, so I will definitely try it out.

I really wasn't expecting that. Sounds fun. I wanna try it even without the intention of climbing. Update: It was really fun! We won, too. I really didn't expect it to be that strong, though the jungler was quite fed. I realise I suck at staying in the backline though. I got a bit cocky sometimes. Ironically enough that was their demise for going all-in on me since the actual damage dealers just took advantage of that to win fights.

Broken support(a wild rift youtuber) used to say he spam nami with this build whenever he want to climb to challenger as fast as humanly possible for some reason

It was a small sample size but last season in 18 or so nami games I had close to an 80% win rate, one of my favorite champs just wish my duo played more adcs that pair with her well

Another basic combo I love is self-E AA Q. Getting the slow will confirm your bubble and makes for easy trades in lane if you can pull it off safely.

5:06 absolute schizophrenic take

Nami is my favorite support and I've always considered running AP on her because wacky W scalings, seeing this though, I'm going to try it out more often. Thanks for the build!

Huh... so thats why I had such a good success with Nami for the past 8 years... I always build full ap until moonstone and imperial were added and then used imperial for a while and now I feel like full ap is the way to go still

Thank you so much for this! I absolutely love it. I have 1mil points on Nami and don't know how I didn't think of doing this before. I'm playing way better now and trying to position better so I don't die and lose my stacks. I'm getting S even when I lose. No going back now lol. Only bad side is that some people will flame and ping your items regardless.

I've been playing this build today and oh my gosh! Its SO MUCH FUN! Seriously try it out if you havent already! if you see your adc/jungler/whoever dashing in, you can E and W them to pretty much one shot them with full build. Its super powerful and definitely my new go-to on my main!

I'm not having the best of luck so far, but I've also never touched Nami. xD Gotta work on positioning as a largely top lane main. Looking forward to getting the hang of it though!

I peaked in season 3 playing AP Nami support. Eventhough i more or less stopped playing it i can only approve with what you say in this video. BTW i also play nami mid sometimes for fun, it's not competitive but it works when you max Q for waveclear, but the main reason i did that in the first place was her W scaling and capacity to win trades. To complete what you said, i'd say Nami is a great permissive support, her W allows you to easily solowin trades on bot lane if you play aggressive or sustain your lane when you are behind due to its heal. For me her only major weakness is the lack of instant peel/cc which can make you struggle against certain fast champions like Master Yi. Your bubble is not as good as a polymorph but Nami makes up for it with the rest of her kit.

With the rework of Seraphs, I wonder if this build could fit a Liandry into Seraphs in some circumstances.

This reminds me of how I rush deathcap whenever I can on lulu mid, it gives crazy W movespeed and girthy E shields

I saw this recenltly, the Nami played with Mejais got 25 stacks, i got suprised. Danm it was strong, and fun to have beside you. I main mid, but Nami be a nice champ i previously played. I feel it rewards nice skill expression and positioning.

This is awesome because I already main nami I’ll be using this build only from now on you’re a genius

Time to see if this will work in bronze with my bronze mechanics and decision making. My teammates were not pleased with my Mordekaiser jg from the other guide!

Love nami in duo, hope she does not get nurfed :) really really good into cc comps

I always loved AP Nami! I never thought there was a non-troll way to play this, thanks sooo much!

Runes and Build start at 5:20 :)

What about the new seraphs embrace? it gives a lot of AP too. does that fit in the build after mandate?

Would shurelias be better than mandate against tankier teams or with burstier teams?

Why Mendate not Ludens in general... The Ludens Passiv has a overall Cooldown, mendate just a short 6sec CD per Champion. What is just 60% of the overall Cooldown from Ludens, so it is nearly always ready. And when you don't really need the Penetration it is just better with the +15 AP. Also a bigger Mana Pool is nice, but even that can get empty. With Mendate, the Manapool goes empty quicker, but the Higher Mana Regen means it also wills up double as fast.

I’m stoked to try this.

As a Nami Main. I feel the pain of Missing a Q and then having both my and the enemy team Chastise me about it. Because they think it's so very easy to land one of the slowest moving skillshots. Up until this point I've been building full support/heal with Moonstone and other Support related items. Can't wait to give this a try and see how it handles these days

Been trying this a couple of times, and i ahve to say there are games where seemingly no one in your entire team wants to do anything at all

HECTOR what would you're new build be with the item changes?

this is great bc i just got coven nami now im a support main

Very interesting ! Would give it a try if I ever play League again

Does this still work on this 13 season? No mythic sup item give you passive ap for having others legendary items

Sona can do all the things you mentioned Nami can. I looks like Nami can do them better however Edit: Also, Vigilant wardstone also multiplies AP (by 13% not 35%) And counts as a legendary item once it upgrades to it, and is only 1100 gold. So, that could be something to buy (Along with Rabadons). So if you think the game is going to end before you get rabadons, buy the "watchful wards" item

Ty for guide. I have amebas in my team almost every game tho

Nami main here, 1 mill points and gold/plat ranked. This works but you're probably going to get flamed anyways lol. People will either love you or hate you. Happy fishing!

Oh cool a vid with Hector in it. Quite a surprise

I used to love doing a full AP with her back in the day I treated it more like a fun troll pick tho I just remember it being very glass cannon

So I tried it and i had overall great games with the build (currently 68% wr @ p2) but I had to adjust it. I almost always build mejai's every game but I just don't always take dark seal early on every game. Like, if i know that i'm against an incredible hard lane to win or if i need to rush anti-heal, I'll grab it maybe after mandate when surviving is much easier. Collecting stacks is pretty darn easy i really do get about 400ap every game. I stopped buying Deathcap anymore. It's too expensive, kinda overkill and I hardly fully build it but it's very fun when you do.

In a game where I got 2 early kills and ended with 4 - 1 - 16 I had the Mejai's at around 23min and the cap right before the end of the game @ 30 mins.

What im getting is that the optimal support 1. Builds pure damage. 2. Steals early kills from their teammates 3. Doesnt buy vision 4. Gets their adc killed in order to preserve dark seal stacks

Lumi made a video about this build a year or so ago

Thank you Hector, my WR with Nami went up to 79% last season

is there an updated build with the current items for this?

i dont know if anyone reads this but the item changes made mandate a legendary item so what is the build now ?

Any updates for 13.11 an above?❤ Nice content guys and Hector

7:29 Might be incorrect, but I believe they patched Nami to use her own Magic Pen instead of her target when it comes to her E.

This is insane! Thank you Rito.

does it still perform well when impreial mandate is not a mythic anymore

1:20 Single's Inferno gooooood

That's genuinely very interesting. I gotta try that. My usual bet for climbing is playing underrated champs no one plays and getting good with them. I play kindred for exactly that reason, she's goddamn hard to play correctly (and god after most a thousand games I still suck) But nobody plays her. No one is ever going to ban her and she can actually be played basically everywhere. And if done right you can just burst someone down but at the same time crap out the sustained damage of an ADC. Hard, very hard, especially if you don't have a team that knows how to cover you but if you don't die you can win every teamfight. I eventually got to a 56% win rate which COULD be better but I'm happy at this point. It's fun, feels like everything you do is actually earned because you aren't playing a braindead overpowered champion (I'm still ashamed of my time with Yone and I'm more disgusted that I got to almost 70% win rate) But yeah, gotta try that Nami build too. Always good to have a plan B Also I love the mentioning of GP, he's literally the most fun to planer because... Well who doesn't like oneshotting nukes? Im Bad with him but boy is playing GP fun

Ok I'm trying this on diamond, lets gooo... btw before a few seasons I used to play ap Nami mid sometimes. It was really fun tbh and also strong during laning phase, cause W trades. :D

Having enchanters take kills early game really benefits the whole team because you're essentially buffing your teammates through your heals and shields rather than having only your adc being the strong one.

thx 2 this guide im on 7th lose streak, works like a charm

What rune page do you use

Do you still think Treasure Hunter is the go to after the nerfs in the upcoming 13.4 patch?

Err. I'm sorry, but something's not right here. At 9:45 it shows Hector using W first on Ezreal and dealing 529 dmg. Then he says he W'd himself first to deal more dmg, but it actually dealt less dmg, as it's showing 520 at 9:54. What could be the reason for that? Maybe that weird scaling only applies when the ability does hit 3 targets?

Ya I'm doing this for the season Bout to main Nami now

i tried both for a long time and must say lulu does the same but somehow the results always way better forr me and my team especialy when my team is playing against scaling champs

I never Player Support before. My first game I got S- and second game an S. And it makes so much fun to me, that I will change my main lane to Support.

I always loved Nami and would always go ap on her 😂 People never expect me to one shot combo them.

1:31 I think I had a Namigarm

“He’s not very good” 💀naw he violated

Did something similar to this once on a whim, ended up with double digit kills on Nami. And here I thought it was a one time thing 🤣

Can u give an update or is this build not viable now?

so should we take Nami as carry and supp Cait

16:22 FINALLY SOME1 SAID THIS ABOUT CONTROL WARDS...

I think nami in general is still kinda busted if u go mandate and just normal supp items with a bit of ap. My current go to champ if I just want to not think and play.

cant find the account that was shown at start

me and my duo have been playng this, she plays nami i play kaisa and it makes league so much more fun for both of us!! thank you so much >33333333333

Its funny seeing this JUST after being explained the math of nami E with Banner, and how much damage they do in combination, is mathematically unfair.

Thanks!

Tell DOPA Twisted Fate is weak in soloq 😂 I think there are three main factors for win. Knowing your champion, knowing your matchups and knowing the macro. For most people there is so big gap in all three that the champion selection doesn't really matter. But i agree with the need for versatility and viabiliity both early and late game. Be weak early and teammates tilt and afk. And sometime the team is not able to finish a game quickly when winning, so late is important too.

Great idea, I will definitely try this out I got two questions though. 1. Who to pick, if the enemy picks Nami first? 2. Does this work on other enchanters like Lulu or Janna too?

Been 4 years since I last mained nami, maybe i should get back into her and support.

Perhaps you should link a build page so it's easier to follow.

Welp, rn mandate is not mythic iten, so what Type item build for mythic? Or it doesn't matter and you dont want mythic? 🤔

Never played NAMI before, went to ranked and won two games in a row Definitely nice build Gold2

Luminum been doin this. I knew she was on to something lol glad it caught on

you better not have set me up Hector I'll be back!

Tried this over the last few days. As a bronze player, just to see if something helps my WR. I'm 2W-6L in normal drafts. So there's clearly something ELSE required that I don't grok just by watching this video.

"Low elo is is so cahotic that often playing wrong is playing right". Love this quote

would the new seraphs embrace a good option for this build too?

Hmm, I love Nami, so I'm gonna try. This looks genius.

Very nice! I´ll try it asap

Can you do one of these for each role?

What about this season tho? Mandate is not a mythic item anymore :(( Please help

Can you update this build please? They changed the items

I love this guide so much cause I get so mad when I or other supports Katie or steal gold
