Probably one of the worst supports

Slow, predictable Q
high mana cost gimmicky W with medicore heal and subpar damage
Garbage E
and an Ult that can be virtually outrun with boots 2

why would anyone want to play that?
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

one of my friends i play with constantly has been using nami as a support ever since she came out and does amazing with her, like almost every time she supports with nami her lane does good

but like i said ever since she came out, i assume she has a long learning curve

true, but a really high learning curve for a champion with minimum reward. This isn't Karthus or Cassiopeia who are very rewarding whn played well

She's hard to play, maybe even a bit too hard for too low reward.
Miss her Q and you are screwed. She could use QOL of buff on her ult, to make it faster, or on her Q, to make it faster. Also, her E is kinda lackluster, it has too low duration, maybe if they increased it by 1 second/1 more auto attack.

every question that is: "is champion x viable" has an easy answer. YES
every champion is viable in soloqueue and low elo ranked 5s

I would say that about karma too... (i've had a good run with her in season two (ap mid))

A better question would be: does her skillset fit the current meta in a way that is comparable to other champions in her role.
Nami does fit the meta quite well bit i feel she is slightly inferior to other supports since she doesnt offer the aggressive potential that top tier tournament competitors look for (i.e. performing well in earlylvl dives and 2v1 pushes).
In soloqueue that doesnt matter nearly as much and since she is underplayed she has a distinct advantage over most other "proper" supports since people cant correctly deal with her skillset.

TL;DR: everything is viable in soloqueue as long as you know what you are doing and abuse the perks in a champions skillset.

EVERY CHAMPION IS VIABLE. However, she remains as not the best support out there.

A very cool kit with a lot of difficult abilities. There's just no reward for mastering them. She's no Sona and S3 Sona ain't that strong.
